    Re: Technic sidebar thingie —Chris Phillips
   (...) Am I the only one who is bothered by the total anarchy on display here? A LUGNET curator abuses his priviledges in order to harass another member, and the official response is "no harm done?" Ross, you owe Eric an apology, public and sincere. (...)

        Re: Technic sidebar thingie —Anders Isaksson
     (...) Definitely not. I'm deeply disturbed by the actions of Rosco (*and* others). It looks like lugnet is falling apart, and he's helping. I was also astonished by the lack of administrator reaction to Rosco's actions. Even if we only see half a (...) (17 years ago, 19-Feb-07, to lugnet.admin.general)
   
        Re: Technic sidebar thingie Rene Hoffmeister
     (...) Hi Chris, thank you very much for your thoughts. Be sure I've given this whole issue careful consideration. But as far as I can see, there was a lot of healthy discussion and I'm pretty sure some people will rethink their futur behaviour. I (...) (17 years ago, 19-Feb-07, to lugnet.admin.general)

         Re: Technic sidebar thingie —Aaron M. Sneary
      (...) I strongly agree with Kelly's response above. The role of administrator is a priveledge that should be bestowed upon trustworthy and honorable people. The priveledge should be revoked if used outside of the purvue of responsible administrative (...) (17 years ago, 20-Feb-07, to lugnet.admin.general)  
    
         Re: Technic sidebar thingie —David Eaton
     (...) So, you'd like to see a public reprimand from Rene, and/or a public apology from Ross? I think at this point, it's clear that: - What Ross did was not acceptable (in my book certainly, and I assume in Rene's as well). - There was (...)

         Re: Technic sidebar thingie —Kelly McKiernan
     (...) Nothing so dramatic; and I've seen (URL) Rene's recent post>, so that's settled. By "core issue" I was referring to a perception of potential future admin malfeasance. While the immediate flurry has been beaten to death, I remain unconvinced (...) (17 years ago, 20-Feb-07, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)  
   
        Re: Technic sidebar thingie —Ross Crawford
   (...) No, it bothers me because (as happened in this case) an email to the Lugnet admins does not reach ALL Lugnet admins, and one of the admins that was "out of the loop" reverted my changes. While not a problem in this case, I can see a potential (...) (17 years ago, 19-Feb-07, to lugnet.admin.general)
   
        Re: Technic sidebar thingie —Chris Phillips
   (...) It seems that NONE of the admins received your e-mail, because the implication I've been reading is that NONE of them would have told you to go ahead.

        Re: Technic sidebar thingie —Chris Phillips

So you sent e-mail to the admins, and then in the absence of a response you assumed that you had administrative approval to alter somebody else's content? No problem. Sure. (...) Under the (...)

        Re: Technic sidebar thingie —Peter F. Guenther
     (...) So it's OK for you to abuse administrative privilege, as long as only one or two people are bothered by it? Especially if one of the two is a person that a significant people on LUGNET feel it's OK to bully? I just have to post here to say I (...)
