I'm still not sure why I need to be told off for being right?
Cedar was wrong in the first place, point proved by his own admission, and since he'd mentioned "a battle", I figured I'd mention why
korza493 & I don't see eye-to-eye over issues of falsified times and lack of proof. He's also wrong to accuse me of "bitching" of his belief that now that he's admitted (twice) that he's accidentally submitted false times, that we should all forget it and go back to the honour system!
korza493 was wrong in his assertion that I was paranoid to challenge the time in the first place (see above), wrong in his assertion that
Cedar hadn't mentioned forgetting my time (despite me quoting it in the very post he quoted back at me), repeated his lie/ignorance of being incapable of being able to provide video evidence himself (along with all the usual excuses) so I offered to bring in the evidence, wrong in his assertion that I'd jumped to conclusions and was also unwilling to back that up when asked to justify it, ignored the profanity (now edited by mod, but retrievable if necessary) in
Cedar's post and accused me of imagining it even though as a former active staff member one really does tend to notice these things, and then suggested that since I'm not active staff any more, it's no longer my job to care, wrong again.
Let's see, yup, that's a drubbing,

Oh, and I voluntarily rescinded my Super-Mod status due to other commitments in real-life (yeah, and I fully understand the difference between that, and a game, it still doesn't pay or make it right to be dishonest in either.) It'd take all of about 5 minutes to get reinstated,
Jordan has carefully and methodically selected his staff throughout the years based on people that're capable in his view of acting as extensions of himself, who would do as he would do, and say what he'd say in response to a given situation without him having to become a 24hr/day autonomous robot capable of running the site by himself, and as far as I'm concerned, the action against
Cedar is more than enough so far if he wishes to continue participating here and rebuilding the small amount of reputation he has left here, which is his choice, or he can continue on the "I've done nothing wrong path" like his buddy, until he finds himself in the same, unfortunate situation of trying to make others look stupid and having the whole thing backfire like a badly tuned Civic, in his face.
To be honest there's not much joy in being a Super-Mod, it's mostly cleanup and diffusion, something which requires time I simply can't volunteer at the moment. That may change in the future, but I can't predict that any more than anyone else can.
Let's also not forget that I've campaigned and provided evidence on behalf of people that I know to be wrongly accused in the past, such as
Magic Racer &
AndersonG22 to have them reinstated over simple typos, much as
viperin was good enough to give
Cedar the benefit of the doubt first time out. To be fair my situation with
korza493 arose not because of my personal challenges to him, but because I was called in as an independent adjudicator with a history of integrity and proven capability in GT4 via my replays submitted to OLR events, my SFGTP LAN events and the videos I've submitted to the 200pt A-spec forum.
I'm also looking forward to the pages (given that this thread is barely 2 1/2 pages long!!) of verbal abuse that
Cedar is able to quote from me.
Let's see...
You ran series.
You submitted fake time.
It was rightly questioned.
You admitted it.
I explained why I'd questioned it, and why I was dismissive of your "defendant", and you offered to do everything you could to provide proof.
You exclaimed surprise when no-one participated in round 2.
I explained bluntly why this may be, given the passage of time (and apparently now, 2 posts within 7 days is "pestering to death") and still no proof.
You post sweary rant directed at a staff member.
Your buddy accuses me of inventing sweary rant.
You accuse me of posting "pages of verbal" abuse.
Your buddy "fixes" my quote to suit his agenda in the misguided belief that because I'm no longer active, it's not my job to uphold what
stands for, be it through AUP or OLR rules, both of which apply in this thread.
Neither of you are remotely believable.
Coupled with the conversation you had by visitor message, you're both dancing on eggshells, balanced on thin ice, on a base of broken biscuits while wearing lead-lined, platinum wellies... with razor spikes.
Turn up the music.
) means that you're going to have to work hard to establish you credibility here again before you can be trusted to run an impartial series of your own.
