In light of recent events some things have come to my attention that I just cannot stay silent about anymore. I'm sorry to all the people that have dealt with this person, and wish luck to those that will deal with him in the future. The following are quotes from a thread titled "A pie in the face?" created in response to the recent shitpost from Mamizou.
"I swear to fucking god Imm going to find this fucking cunt and stick two fucking knives into his fucking eyes until he can see how much of a fucking dickwad he is" -Remi
"I have fucking alcohol in me and I'm thisfucking close to buying a ticket to fucking mexico or wherverr the fuck He lives in and finding his sorry ass" -Remi
While I find his recent behavior appalling and I hope he is ashamed of himself, I can't say they surprise me. I have long known that Remi is a poor admin due to his busy life, but over the last year or so I have been noticing more and more that he is a terrible person as well. I try to see the good in everyone but it's becoming harder and harder for me to see that goodness in him. The abuse of people has been a re-occurring theme with him, and in my eyes is either directly or indirectly the cause of nearly every resignation to date.
With these most recent quotes he has shown to me that he is a racist in addition to his history of alcohol problems and anger issues. I'm tired of defending him and making up excuses as to why someone would act this way. I feel the YukkuriCraft community deserves a good leader and I believe Remi is not that person. I am not okay with it, I just hope at least some of you are not as well.
Remi,
You need to own up to your actions and apologize, maybe I can forgive you in time but currently you make me sick. I believe you should step down and give this community the chance it deserves. You need to seek help with managing your anger, and I would advise you stop drinking as well. Good luck with your life, and I hope you can improve as a person some day.
I don't even know why I'm logging in to comment on this shit, but fuck it, let's do this. Also, why people feel the need to create forum threads about shit they hear THIRD hand, just to start some shit, I will never know.
Since I'm the person that talked with the guy, here's what I heard from him: He was ero-rping in an RP chat and at least one of the participants was a builder. In hindsight the only thing he had seen that was close to a warning was a builder saying something to the tune of "you might want to lay off the RP a bit". He told me who the builder was, and he never once mentioned phantom. When banned he was told by an admin that he was not allowed to appeal his ban. This was the first time action was taken against him.
Now assuming he lied and he actually did know he was being warned and proceeded to ignore them while mercilessly ero-rping the server into submission, why did it even have to come to this? Has no one ever heard of mute or kick; what about a temp bans? Why does almost every fucking incident have to be ended with a permanent ban instead of a punishment that's more fitting to the crime? Why does the staff feel the need to stalk new players to make sure they aren't doing anything naughty instead of working under the assumption that most people aren't horrible pieces of shit? Why is there a guideline that new people that fuck up given the harshest of punishments while people that are more active get slaps on the wrist? Basically, why is the staff "doing it for free" so much, and why is nepotism involved in deciding punishments?
Should the guy have been banned? No, I don't think he deserved it. He should have been muted and told clearly why he was muted. If it progressed maybe increase the punishment, but when the first action taken against someone is a ban, I have to wonder why the rest of the community is "okay with it".
Now, not every staff member does this, and honestly the people that do can be counted on one hand. If you do happen to notice this then instead of keeping quiet or abstaining, I encourage you to speak up and say it's wrong. That way, you won't have to just be "okay with it".
Also, the notion that a server can be shut down because of the actions of it's users is ridiculous. Servers owners are only responsible for their own actions, all they are required to do is cooperate with law enforcement and abide by the laws themselves.
