death_note maintainership wank
[info]death_note is a community with well over 2000 members. So they looked for volunteers to mod the community. They too on a few , among them [info]forunlawfulck. Who as soon as given maintainer rights, deleted all the other mods, gave maintainer rights to one of his/her friends, [info]worstangel and appearantly deletes posts made by the former mods.

Introduction post here.

(Ex-)Mod post on another community. Complete with setting a deadline for handing the community back to the original maintainer.

Another post by an (ex-)moderator.

And another

They all have something to say

And worstangel posts - appearantly, she had no clue what was about to happen.

And finally, the new mod posts in the community! Watch the drama unfold!

Appearantly, while I was asleep and maybe even right now, they are having a 'maintainer-match' by getting the password, changing the password and so on.

God, I need an icon for surviving this wank...

Ohno, what a cocktease entry </3
The user "naruto" rings a bell though, wasn't she involved in the FMA voice actor fiasco?

Background:

Death Note is a manga running in Weekly Shounen Jump, the same place Naruto runs, BTW. The plot is: a young genius (whose name is Light or Raito depending on how you romanize it) is given the Death Note, a notebook which allows you to kill people by writing their name in it. Light is pretty much a megalomaniac sociopath, and sets out to purify the world and become its "new god" by using the DN to kill criminals so that humans will all behave. So that's what the people are making jokes about in the comments.

I'm a bad person for laughing at this.

But, *giggles*

Not to say I wouldn't have falled for it. To me, [info]forunlawfulck seems to be just another regular crazy-ass LJ user. I'm so gullible. Which, I guess, is why I don't appoint people I don't know as mods.

All I can say is that I'm very glad this showed up here. Otherwise I'd be wondering what happened to that comm.

What a lovely clusterfuck.

[info]xanos
2005-10-10 10:34 pm UTC (link)
Here's what I know of the whole thing: The moderator of the comm was finding it difficult to manage the comm by herself, due to both the large number of members and the fact that she's a student. She asked on the comm for people to apply as moderators, got very few replies, and, after checking the people out, decided to make them all mods. Sometimes it's hard to figure out if someone's a troll if you've never heard of them before.

Then all the mods except [info]forunlawfulck were deleted by [info]guitarczar, who isn't even on the comm and doesn't seem to have [info]forunlawfulck friended. There are rumours on the 'net that [info]forunlawfulck and [info]guitarczar are the same person; I don't know if they're true or not, but [info]guitarczar is no longer a mod or member of [info]death_note and [info]unlawfulck is.

[info]forunlawfulck added [info]worstangel as a maintainer and proceeded to do moderater-y things, including making a post about OT images and other things. S/h/it claims they're going to "clean up the community". There are rumours - again, I don't know if they're true - that it was [info]guitarczar that posted OT images in the first place, thus allowing [info]unlawfulck to make that post.

The ex-mod, when she found out about this, wrote up the post now available on [info]death_eyes, and posted it on [info]death_note as a way to get the message through to the members of the comm and give [info]unlawfulck one last chance to fix things. Screencaps of the post can be found here and here.

The post was deleted, the ex-mod was banned, and now all posts to the comm are moderated

Back on that "I'm going to clean up the comm!" post from [info]unlawfulck, people are starting to ask questions. S/h/it claims not to know who deleted the ex-mod's post.

Also, for added wanky fun, [info]naruto, formerly [info]arex_kun and also formerly mod of [info]fm_alchemist (see previous wank; I don't know when it was), shows up in the comments to that post. Surprisingly enough, he's on the ex-mod's side, although he does tell [info]unlawfulck that s/h/it "totally fail[s] at being a wanky mod for a huge community".

The ex-mod then moves over to [info]death_eyes, which brings us to now, I think.

OT question... Does LJ abuse act in these situations?

I looked at the FAQ here, and it says:

* The existing maintainers are unresponsive or declare that they no longer wish to maintain the community.
* There are situations occurring within the community -- such as rampant harassment or spam -- which require a maintainer's intervention.

If the above criteria are both satisfied, you can file a report with the Abuse Team. However, if you spoke with a maintainer, and they indicated that they will not take action, the Abuse Team will likewise not take action unless the situation involves Terms of Service violations.


It looks like that if the maintainers are active, and wish to keep control, LJ abuse will not take action.
