    The following post was made by LMM today in the JCC banner thread. I'm a little suspicious of this post. I just don't believe that LMM would be gone since September and come back to post once in an antagonistic manner towards regular users. If he did then there is no reason he should be a VIP. I don't care how many banners he's made. If he didn't do this, then somebody logged on as LMM to make fun of the users that were complaining about the banner. If that's the case then somebody has seriously misused their power as an admin. Admins are the only people that have access to user passwords. I'll let the masses be the judge.

    MWAAAHAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!


    yes I made the banner



    Have you seen the little piggies
    Crawling in the dirt
    And for all the little piggies
    Life is getting worse
    Always having dirt to play around in.

    Have you seen the bigger piggies
    In their starched white shirts
    You will find the bigger piggies
    Stirring up the dirt
    Always have clean shirts to play around in.

    In their styes with all their backing
    They don't care what goes on around
    In their eyes there's something lacking
    What they need's a damn good whacking.

    Everywhere there's lots of piggies
    Living piggy lives
    You can see them out for dinner
    With their piggy wives
    Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon.

    Actually, I thought the same thing. He hadn't posted in close to two months, and suddenly posted that. I wasn't sure, but I figured someone must have emailed him.

    Either way it was wrong.

    Link please, or the page number, because I looked in that thread and didn't see it. Was it deleted?

    It was on page 4 (50 posts per page) in the thread that was started by Carter today.

    When I saw that posted, I wondered the exact same thing. [face_plain]

    Besides the fact that the little poem makes very little sense, it WAS interesting.

    Gee, this seems awfully familiar.


    I'll have to do some digging to find the quote from the administration about what would happen if he ever did something like this again.

    I honestly don't know if that was him or not. No other names show up with an IP check and unlike other mods (and former mods) he doesn't have his host address in his Admin Notes to compare to.

    Hm...I would demote him just to be safe, but as a JC manager and member of the ModSquad for more than a year, I don't have that authority. [face_plain]

    No, we're not. I'm pointing out how odd this seems.

    Since LMM is not a mod anymore, surely he can post in any way that he likes (providing it fits into the TOS?)

    And, since we have all seen worst posts then that, why should his VIPness be effected by such a statement? ?[face_plain]

    As AYBABTU said, the Horse has been beaten into glue, lets not get stuck in the residue.*

    It isn't beating a dead horse if he is continuing the same behavior that he was strongly warned against.

    Well, he?s not a moderator now. I agree with UK Sullustian in that it?s not as serious for a regular user or VIP to make some mild trouble as it is for a moderator to make trouble. He has some free reign to behave badly now. I don?t approve of what he did, and I?m tempted to demote him anyway, but I also think that that would be an overreaction at this point.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again. Anyone with colors should be held to a higher standard. I personally don't think anyone that makes posts that are very antagonistic towards users should have colors. To me it's unacceptable. The underlying issue to me is how improbable LMM coming back to post in that thread is. I find it extremely odd. I happen to like LMM and have talked with him on several occasions, so this isn't a witch hunt against LMM. It's simple. If it was him, he shouldn't be a VIP. If it wasn't then somebody should lose thier priviledges and stop trying to drag LMM's name through the mud.

    I found it antagonistic. And this isn't the first time he has adopted this attitude when his banners are used. Obviously the banning and demotion didn't change that or his behavior. We have plenty of talented artists here, which come out in force when there is a contest. And they seem to manage to behave better. Why stick with someone that causes so much trouble?

    I suppose the post was kind of insulting, but I've seen worse. I could understand why people would complain but the post was probably made in response to all the criticisim of his banner. People wouldn't give his banner a break. LMM is a really cool guy. Even if they do demote him, he will still be making great banners for the site.
