Okay, okay, okay.
If I mention that The Great Deceiver has been fired, can I go home?
I've grown bored with both Bethesda and UESP so sorry if I can't be bothered to keep up to date any more.
What rpeh did was a bit dickish but wasn't any worse than what ^CEshe^V and Rawtwat the Ignorant, Obnoxious and Vicious did when rpeh made his comeback after the last admin-level clusterfuck.
Daveh has been looking less and less secure as head of his personal monarchy. He still hasn't sorted out the anon caching problem; he took a couple of weeks to realise there was a bloody great firewall between his site and the Internet; he still hasn't fixed the category problem; he still hasn't managed to upgrade to the latest MediaWiki version; and now he decides to wade into a debate and has managed to take the wrong decision from day one.
In short, it's time Daveh quit. He hasn't been able to maintain the site and this latest mess demonstrates is perfectly. As I said earlier, rpeh was a bit of a dick over his interactions with the assholes at TESWiki, but that should have generated a warning at most. Instant de-adminning of rpeh and Krusty was a stupid decision that undermines Daveh's claim to be a hands-off leader.
What UESP has now is a resurgence of the idiots. TheRealLurlock - a moron so inconsequential that I'm giving him the nickname "TheRealLurlock", partly in recognition of the fact that he was so stupid he hadn't registered his own name - has turned up; ^CEshe^V and Rawtwat the Ignorant, Obnoxious and Vicious have both returned too. The simple fact is that these three are idiots. As is the simpering simpleton Whining Little Bitch, aka RobinHood70. His whining was partly what caused this mess, and he's keeping up his usual strategy of praising people he thinks like him while attacking everybody else. Whining Little Bitch is the single most-unpleasant person I've ever encountered on the Internet. Most trolls will attack you to your face, but Whining Little Bitch likes to be sly. Slimy, unpleasant, and never going to be an admin.
UESP has decided to put its trust into people who were around at the start -Rawtwat the Ignorant, Obnoxious and Vicious and "TheRealLurlock", who have been shown to be inadequate for the job, and ^CEshe^V, who only got nominated by The Great Deceiver because The Great Deceiver wanted to have sex with her.
From other posts it seems that Timenn has given up, and GuildKnight has decided her young child is more important than dealing with children. I don't blame either of them.
So in summary: Daveh is incompetent as are most of his admins. The long, slow decline of UESP started with the release of Skyrim.
It isn't about what UESP has decided. Daveh took a decision on his own and the only people who support it are the usual crowd of idiots who enjoy stabbing other people in the back. I haven't heard anybody call for Daveh's resignation before but I totally agree. It's clear that he isn't up to the job any more
ReplyDeleteI hadn't thought about this until now, but it's true that Daveh has f***ed up the site several times. Every time it happens there is always a chorus of "Oh thank you for fixing it! I love you" messages, but that's what you expect I suppose. Daveh out NOW!
ReplyDeleteIf you want a break but want to keep this site going I'd love the chance! Email coming your way.
ReplyDeleteUESP has gone down hill lately. Who is this Eshe person and why is she an admin?
ReplyDeleteThis one was full of petty insults and pejoratives. I wonder if someone might be... butt-hurt? Is Tiber really Rpeh, perhaps?
ReplyDeletetiber=rpeh? duh
ReplyDeleteyeah sure Daveh gets kicked out and nobody pays for the servers, great plan, durr.
ReplyDeletequit commenting on your own posts tiber its getting obvious
No, Daveh hands over control to a group of people who know what they're doing and leaves. Nobody will miss him.
ReplyDeleteu just hate him because he desysopped you
ReplyDeleteLOL! If I had a pound for every time some credulous idiot claimed I'm rpeh I'd be able to retire.
ReplyDeleteDeadminning rpeh was stupid and has caused more trouble than rpeh ever did, but the really, really stupid thing was deadminning Krusty. The truth is that Daveh acted without thinking, and his total lack of interaction with the site since then proves the point. He knows he made a huge mistake and is too embarrassed to show his face.
No "you" don't know. Better men than you have made the same accusation and been shot down. I know reading is something of a problem for you, but try looking back through previous comments and learn from the mistakes of others.
ReplyDeleteOh, please be careful when complaining that you don't think the world needs someone's opinions while you're commenting on a blog. The world could explode if you shove much more irony into it. Please Google the word "irony" since you probably don't know what it means.
If you could construct an argument at all without being a complete ass, you'd probably still be an admin.
ReplyDeleteIronic it may be, but you have to admit there's a bit of a difference in scale. A couple of 30-second comments vs....a fuckload of posts. When you look at it that way...yeah, I'm comfortable with a little hypocrisy on my end.
ReplyDeleteTiber, whoever you are... Let me just state that if I feel like getting on here and starting arguments with trolls, I am not going to hide as an anon and a coward.
ReplyDeleteDon't bother assuming anons are me, because I promise you they aren't. Or assume if you want. Honestly, I couldn't care either way
Snowmane, that sounds exactly like someone else *cough*rpeh*cough* who says exactly the same thing.
ReplyDeleteWell okay then, Snowmane, rise to the challenge.
Give me something original. Do something new on the site, come up with an original, coherent criticism of me or this blog. Something. It could be a criticism of something you've seen on IRC. Anything.
My email is uespwatch@gmail.com . If there's something you want to tell me, send it there. Nothing said in confidence will be leaked. Look back over the history of this blog and you'll see the only time I ever leaked anything was when I was asked (by rpeh) to publish his email conversation with Elliot. Look harder and you'll see there's nothing that could ever identify the leaker.
If you want to write an article, the same rules apply. It can go out under my name and nobody ever needs to know.
I'm here to help.
And I'd love you to help me too.
I merely said after all that pointless arguing in the comments that I would use my name to reply to your blog posts, and not hide behind an anonymous name.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I am not interested in making an argument about why this blog is crap. In all honesty, despite this blog's hateful messages, I actually find your posts to be amusing, and I like to read them.
I am curious, where do you get the idea that I am going to help you write blog posts? I said above that I liked to read them, however, I am not interested in helping you to write them, because several of the people you like to frequently criticize, I would go far enough to consider friends. I have to decline your offer, TIber.
