Little announcement: New Administrator

[Black Widow]

Almost everyone knowns that person and proud member of our Community, most of you have seen his videos, some of you have even raised on his vids. And as well most of you probably suspected it coming that way.

Please, welcome our new Administator of the Discovery Gaming Community - Spazzydragon a.k.a. @sindroms

---

There clearly are a lot of people who are a little concerned with the idea of bringing Sindroms onto the administration team. It's no secret that he has done some questionable things in the past, however there are a large multitude of different reasons, and considerations that was taken into account before coming to this decision.

First and foremost, I should address what moderators actually do. - When you're brought onto the moderation team, you do more than merely watch the forums for posts which break forum rules. You're also expected to comment on anything that requires input from the team. Sanction reports. SRP Requests. The whole deal. Their responses to these sections are used both as something to help the Administration process things quicker, but it allows us to get a feel on how the staff member works. How he/she thinks. It's an excellent way to observe how someone thinks.

Sindroms during his time as a Moderator has most certainly proved that he's not here in order to ruin people's fun. In fact, he's taken extra steps which moderators aren't required to do, in order to 'help' bring some more fun concepts to Discovery. The biggest of his contributions being events.

Events are time consuming to create and run. However without even being asked, he was someone who went out of his way to talk to the Administration one-on-one with suggestions on what can be improved. To create event ideas, only to work closely with someone to see that it actually gets done.

On top of having conversations merely regarding events, Sindroms has spoken to me personally quite often regarding the state of Discovery in general. - If I felt during any of these conversations that he was going to act malicious if he were to receive a promotion, he wouldn't be here right now.

In recognition of everything that he's been doing lately, Sindroms was not a bad choice in the slightest when the discussion of adding someone onto the team came up.

People can change. We recognize that. You guys should as well.

This is really sad actually, a former instigator of the bass hunters and former member of the DPC has now made his way to an admin position.

The worm truly has eaten at the core of discovery. Disgusting!!

@sindroms You were apart of two trollish institutions that brought this server to its knees and they have made you admin. You nearly destroyed us.

Have we all gone mad? People really dont remember the madness we went through removing with them.

@sindroms stay away from me I dont like you man, not at all.

A few good acts does not absolve one from a lifetime of sin!

BTW. Good job @sindroms . Have fun in your new position.

Thanks, mate. And I will make sure to return the favor.
I am actually pleasantly surprised that all of the people who were around for the cap8 and DPC thing are still present on Disco. I am glad that many people here know what kind of frackery I was a part of in the past. And not just the DPC, but all the subsequent stupidity from my side.

I am glad that this thread turned out to be filled with concerns about this decision. It means that I actually have something to prove in this position. That this is not as clear cut as "Well, of course he got admin, he has the youtube and tutorial and event thing going". It means that that alone is not going to be enough and it is a good thing.

For those of you who came out to shake your fist at me, hold that thought. I am very much inclined to prove you wrong.
_{And I promise I will keep server-crashing mistakes to a minimum.}




If anything, I also hope you realize that this is the point where I simply cannot go back to my regular nonsense. This position is an ultimatum as well. It is something that I was explained to -quite- well.

And you know what? I am up for that challenge.
See you in space.

Also what a way to rub it in our faces, no guilt expressed there. I see through you sindy you dont fool the spider!
