Triples Tennis Tournament: Difference between revisions

Line 25:

The official 8th team to sign up was one made up of members who had mostly been active on other parts of the forum, and had all collectively tennised very little; a moderator, Intermission, and two other older members, RideTheCatfish and cantflyman. Upon noticing two then-recently banned members having joined the tournament, Intermission suddenly and unexpectedly became very vocal, ordering them to be removed.

At the time, the YouChew forums had been reeling from the aftermath of "The Oz Incident", a saga of events in early 2011 where ~~a mysterious and shadowy figure~~ named Oz had ~~essentially~~ manipulated and bribed his way into complete control of the forums, creating a massive infection of viruses within the forum software ~~and impersonating~~ staff members all in an immensely convoluted attempt to deliberately destroy the site. Ultimately this led to ~~his~~ complete removal from the ~~forums~~, ~~along with~~ three months of ~~unretrievable~~ posts stretching from February to May 2011. This was a time when paranoia and concern of site safety was high and the moderation staff had become a lot more quick to jump onto potential offenses than usual as a result of it. They were under the suspicion that both of the recently banned members (NESfanboi and DoctorEggman) had associated very heavily with Oz during his forum seige, and were currently considered still dangerous and highly unwelcome due to the fact that superkoffee's account had been hacked very recently by them.

Ultimately this led to the complete removal of his influence from the site, sacrificing three months of irretrievable posts stretching from February to May 2011 due to no recent backups.

A schism occurred at this point, as {{ChrisGendo}} stood firmly in the position of believing that anyone, including banned members, should be able to participate in tennis tournaments (there was prior precedent of this as well) and Intermission stood firmly in the place of believing that this should not be the case with activities sanctioned officially by the YouChew forums. Arguments and tensions escalated and lasted for many more posts until the thread was closed following magmalord posting a video of King Harkinian saying "ENOUGH" for 10 minutes. A number of non-contributive posts were deleted right before.
