A PM from the constituent in question has pointed out that this has not been acted upon; may I appeal to one of the exalted leaders to carry this out?

Thank you!
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

Keeping this in the public eye has this been acted upon?

Ok, if we need to be formal about this, I move to call this to vote.

Just a matter of point, you would think that maybe, just maybe, I dunno DEATH could have the balls to ask one of the admins? But instead he doesn't.

You really do not think this crossed one of their minds?

Well, how's he supposed to know to do that? He PMd a Senator, the Senate came to a consensus, so presumably the admins would act. Nobody told him he had to make the request himself. If I were in his situation, I wouldn't either, because I'd be afraid of coming off as presumptuous or pestering.

It never occured to ask after the event?

And given Admins are the only ones who hand out titles, and only do votes on getting bad title, one would at least try.

Hey, he PM'd me a couple times, which was why I wasked the follow-up questions, but in truth I didn't know who to ask directly either. So since he asked me, and I was advocating for him, I'll ask now-- if one of the Admins could please see to this?

After all, we don't see a lot of title revokation around these here parts. :wink: :twisted:

After the event is what I meant. The Senate already took action; why would it occur to him to then go to an admin and ask personally after the Senate already did? I wouldn't; I'd be afraid of coming off as trying to rush the administration. For that matter, not once in the month and a half this has been sitting undone did it occur to me that DEATH ought to personally PM an admin, and since it was never suggested in the thread, and, to my knowledge, to DEATH by any other Senator, it never occurred to anyone else, either. If this is what the administration was waiting for, it would have been nice if somebody had said so, rather than leaving DEATH and the Senate twisting in the wind.

Jesus, does Mike or any of the admins give that much an air? Is Mike going to ban him for asking? Does he honestly have that perception? If something is related to a board affair, then there are only 5 people you can go to. If this isn't common knowledge, then here...I will spell it out for the rest who are too retarded to get. If you have a board problem, contact one of the admins, they will get back to you eventually on the matter. Spam is discouraged.

Changing one's title is just that, a board issue. He has to know this or he hasn't been paying attention. And what rushing the admins? Either will give a yes/no answer or if either is too busy, they will give a response to contact later. I mean for fuck's sake, Elite Pwnage understood this. He annoyed said admins because he contacted every week, couldn't take no for an answer for his half assed new names, but followed the ultimatum and when forced a name, realized that was that. If DEATH is this personally vested in this thought but doesn't ask either of the active admins, either he's not that concerned or who knows.

For the record, Death has asked me if his title could be removed, and he has done so in the past, before this thread came up. His status has been discussed in the moderator forum and here and both times there has been support from staff for the revocation. Including me, and I was one of the people who were the most annoyed with him back when he was posting nothing but worthless spam. So I fail to see a problem about not approaching admins. He did contact board staff members and the issue has been discussed, even if it did get sidelined by other stuff.

I don't know I feel like some here see any sign of liencey as a show of weakness, and want it to be as hard as possible or something to get a status changed.

Um... yeah, to be honest, that is sometimes true. I've had folks mention matters that they didn't think they could bring up to admins and ask me if I could help. If the request was legit I told them to go to the admins and they wouldn't get their heads bit off, but yeah, really, some folks do feel that way. Especially the titled and chastised.

Maybe you don't intend to come across like that, but apparently to some you do.
