2.Diddle getting busted for multis when someone wrongly accuses him of pm abuse!
He should have known not to create multis in the first place.
3.Suggs getting banned for 6 months!
I heard about this, but I have not yet heard why (haven't looked into much, admittedly, but still).
4.Unrest in the CC community!
1-3 caused this, and most of those that are in a state of "unrest" are only whining and crying about one thing after another.

Suggs got a ban because he posted lack's phone number. Even though the number in question was public information and was listed as the site's phone number.

If you want to take action you can always play games and use the forums while staying freemium, thus using CC's bandwidth without contributing to their profit.

And what was the intent behind posting lack's number?

I think the thread title would more correctly be named "CC Crisis 3" (or maybe even a bigger number than that). I can think of quite a few big events that have happened before now. This one has been the biggest (at least, its had the most people complaining), but there were still quite a few others.

Somehow, dear sir, given the tense climate on the forums and comments made by the accused prior to the alleged incident, it is extremely difficult to assume the dissemination of the information was for anything other than ornery hilarity.

I do not know suggs very well, but he seems like a reasonable person. I have to think that the moderators felt as if they HAD to give suggs a harsh ban length to "send a message" to the rest of us. While in suggs' case, I'm sure a warning and a reasoned answer as to why the mods DO NOT want the phone number in question posted on the forum would suffice to quell such behavior from being exhibited by him again, the infraction happened in a public setting, and encourages severity in mods' thinking as they fear having EVERYONE mimic the unfortunate precedent; creating a migraine instead of just a slurpee tumor. Instead, they set a precedent of their own.

I'm sure suggs can take it like a man, and instead of getting upset about it (they're not going to change their minds about the ban) those of us most worried about how boring this place is without him should be sure not to get a ban ourselves, and thus miss out of on all of his super ultra genius and awesome posts.

All of that being said, sucks he's gone. He had his moments in the short time I've been lurking, and now posting in these forums.

It's a God Damn shame they had to make an example out of him.
It's a God Damn shame they kicked out diddle.
And it's a God Damn shame they started this whole fucking mess by arbitrarily firing Wicked!

Thanks for notifying us william, I didn't even notice the banning of wicked #-o
I guess once you get demoted, you're very vulnerable to getting banned...

Or when you post confidential multi-hunting info on a splinter forum. That could do it.

Without the understanding of the CC administration there can be no CC community and the last remaining shred of that understanding got fired and then banned. As far as I'm concerned, posting here now is like going to the square in a small town because you know you're gonna run into at least few of your friends there. I'm here for those friends, but I no longer care about the place per se.

I wouldn't exactly call it a crisis. Everyday forum life proceeds as normal, nothing is broken as such. Just a few people getting picked on, in some cases unfairly, isn't enough to disrupt the whole of CC.

This diffeniatly isn't normal forum life.

A mod getting banned(you don't see that everyday)
Diddle, a player known throught the forums by many(now what are the chances of him getting banned by a false accusation?)

Must I continue?

Yeah, I wonder what Diddle is doing these days? He seems to have completely vanished from the face of teh internets. Where did that bright young soul go I wonder? Where shall he wander now, in the twilight of his exile?

Oh alas for the loss of poor Diddle. Perhaps in heaven we will be re-united once more.

Diddles banning was also due to his multies. The false accusation just brought attention to these.

That is true, and let us not forget that owning and operating multis on this site is a really terrible thing to do. I think I'm quite right in speaking for everybody involved in this discussion when I say that all multi-users ought to be strung up by their feet and beaten with scourging rods until they cry for mercy.

There is no worse thing than a multi, be it used for games or forum posting, eh Fitz?

Ah, but what the mods don't know can't hurt them.

If, for example, a CC user was to spend almost two years on the site, making over 8000 posts, you'd think that their contribution to the community would maybe serve to benefit them, in an instace of multiple accounts.

But, alas, it seems any sense of justice on this site has been radically twisted.

Thats what I've gathered from my short time here.

Their ignorance is indeed, our bliss.

I quite agree, punishments ought to fit the crime, and take into account what the user has previously contributed to the site. No point in throwing the 8000 posts out with the toilet-water after all.

Some posters are good people, and if they make a few hilarious joke-multis then where's the problem? No need to go banning them and forcing them to return under an array of weird names and cunning disguises.

Fitzgerald wrote:But, alas, it seems any sense of justice on this site has been radically twisted.
It certainly has. But luckily there aren't any multis at the moment to draw its warped ire.

Well, none that we know of. I think the problem is that a multi is so tempting, whether its for games, or for a small joke, quelling of boredom, or maybe even someone wishing to start a-fresh. And their also pretty easy to make, or so I hear. I read somehting about an ex-mod releasing info on multies, that can't of helped stem the flow.
