Public Announcment: Sysops

[Klaber]

This is a cross post from www.mudinfo.net, but I wanted to get the word out, and/or the discussion started about Sysop behavior. Here is the copy pasta I wrote

It seems like there's a rash of horrid sysops lately; maybe I should just step away from the scene for awhile.

Let me give all sysops some wisdom. You, the sysop, should never ever even be called in to question about absolutely anything in a majormud realm. If you are, there's already a red flag, regardless.

IT IS YOUR JOB TO STAY OUT OF THE SPOT LIGHT.

♦ Don't misunderstand, Gardner and Vitoc have their own reputation; I simply posted on this board to spread the word to any Sysops that might read through here and have their own BBS or want to put their own BBS up. I'll put the important part in red again

SYSOPS, IT IS YOUR JOB TO STAY OUT OF THE SPOT LIGHT.

The Sysops aren't the problem here, it's the rash of dupers, ie:

Linda/Candice/Bertha/Flo/Estydee
Richards/Hermafro/Yeager
Watts/Lola/Wood
Irillyth/Krimzin/Jalora/Vanos/Therg/Bogangy
Barry/HIV/Mal/Queer/Dragonlord/Rowdy

Who did I forget?

[Klaber]

That's another (but important) discussion. Even though the specific target audience for that post was intended to the rash of bad sysops on www.mudinfo.net putting up BBS's left and lefter, I thought it was general enough to post here to let everyone feedback on it or at least consume.

But yeah, dupes.

This is a great list of dupes.

Sorry JJF, you got it wrong, it should be:
Linda/Candice/Bertha/Flo/Estydee/Richards/Hermafro/Yeager/Watts/Lola/Wood/Irillyth/Krimzin/Jalora/Vanos/Therg/BogangyBarry/HIV/Mal/Queer/Dragonlord/Rowdy/Rodent/Bane/Fahk/Anonymouse/Cobro

As they are all one person, Torque. The other half of the realm is also played by Torque, but in disparate factions. I've heard that Torque is currently winning.

I hope this clarifies matters :)

I know for a fact that Irillyth and Richards are not the same character.  1 hides and runs his mouth, the other remains silent and actively hunts!  Probably should take Bane out of there too, I don't think Irillyth would intentionally kill 1 of his dupe characters.  ;)

Are you saying this as Richards, Hermafro, Lola or XMas Tree?

Best post ever

Torque moves in mysterious ways.

the best part about this thread is my name is always mentioned first in the dupe lists.... i do miss my dupes tho...sigh

[Klaber]

At least greatermud is doing something right: the sysops arent in the spotlight all the time. There's no doubt that duping is an issue, but since this mud menopause started, there's no way to efficiently police the area. I feel like this thread did its justice and it can be closed since it'll just continue with some people trying to be funny and some people wooshing.

But since I'm not a mod, I'll just bump the meat and tomato:
SYSOPS, IT IS YOUR JOB TO STAY OUT OF THE SPOT LIGHT.
