Notice from Pikari and Sakaki

[Pikari]

We, Pikari and Sakaki, hereby notify CapturedWings that we resign from our positions as moderators and as members of this forum. Due to ongoing personal harassment by a certain moderator who will not be named, hereafter known as WARLOAD, and due to the fact that we can no longer sit by and watch other members be threatened, ridiculed, and harassed by said WARLOAD, we can no longer remain on this site. Over the past months, the hostile atmosphere instigated by said WARLOAD (hereafter known as A.SS for short) has continued to grow with posts like the ones linked. This moderator has considered himself above the rules of the forum by repeatedly breaking these rules (spamming, double/multiple posting, flame-baiting, stalking, among other things) and arbitrarily making up rules to harass other members of the forum, locking topics and giving warnings for no reason, and has personally threatened members with comments such as “deal with me.” Said A.SS has gone so far as to copy and paste members’ posts for the sole purpose of mocking them on other forums,  and personally threatened other moderators both on the forums and in moderator topics not viewable to general members.

'll post where I please because I am who I am. Trust me...don't go down that path. You want to discuss the petition, fine. If you want to discuss me, do it somewhere else. Thank You.

Keep going down this path and I will have this thread locked, despite your best intentions...and no, I don't get warnings for provoking people.

Next person goes off topic and want to add their 2 cents against me will get a warning.

END OF DISCUSSION!!!

Thread locked...because nobody, including other moderators, do NOT make changes after I've done it.

Do it again and you'll have to deal with me.

Next time, try wording your post better so nobody misunderstands it.

THE WARLORD OF CLOW HAS SPOKEN!!!

Perhaps it's time for me to step down because I have no intent of backing down from any comments I make here. Only thing I'll say is certain people act like spoiled children and I treat them as such.

Gee...slight disagreement going on here. I'm surprised...NOT!!!

Which may be true but you'd be surprised on what I'm capable of doing.

And if it starts happening again in this thread, it will be shut down, whether anyone agrees or disagree.

What idiot locked the original merchandise thread?!!

I have some to share however I refuse to do so until the original thread gets unlocked. There is absolutely no reason for it!!!

Thread's all cleaned up. Continue on with the campaign and don't let my feelings deter you. My mind games are over and all but one passed it.

Do what you need to do, the decision stands. You were told not to continue the off-topic conversation twice and refusing a direct order from a moderator of the forum, you were place on warning. It will stand for 24 hours. The thread has been cleaned up, my original post stands and all other off-topic conversation deleted. Continue on with the thread however if you want to continue attacking my viewpoints there, the next warning will be longer. Thank You.

Heh. I make comments less critical than the quotes and the person who posted it now wants my head on a platter for bullying everyone in a forum I won't mention here...and will do everything in her power to have me stripped of my powers.

 Since I help finance the forum and also have talked to the owner...unlikely.

And to think, the little she-devil who posted the petition is on a campaign to rid my likes from CapturedWings (I'll go ahead and name the place, why not?) The thread got locked there, the person warned and now sends me threatening PMs. I always enjoy a good laugh before I head on to bed

Due to all of the above mentioned (hereafter known as BULLSHIT) and said moderator’s complete lack of respect for other members, going so far as to call them “inmates”, as well as administration that refuses to do anything about it, we can no tolerate said BULLSHIT, as we expect many other members of this forum have suffered equally, as you’ll notice threads that have been locked, trashed, or disappeared without explanation. We therefore take our leave, effective immediately, and invite any others who have been threatened, belittled, or harassed to do the same, and find another forum where egotistical, rude, behavior is not tolerated.

[Jeannette]

I personally am leaving as well. I'm tired of this idiocy. It's ridiculous that nothing has been done before now.

[Kjesta]

I personally also noticed said mod's rather rude behaviour and at first I was surprised that someone acting like that is an administrator - I always thought such people would follow their own community's rules and be a role model for everyone.

I will leave this board as well. I loved it like nothing else but sometimes you also have to take inconveniences to start a revolution.

It's really time to leave, this is nothing more than a playground for said person in the camouflage of a TRC board.

[Smile_For_Me]

You will be missed, I don't want you two to go, crys, I know what you mean, by the A.SS, but can't you just cancle his thing?

When I 1st saw Captured Wings, I saw how nice it was, for many people have just got into Anime or Manga, I have been in Anime since 1994, and never joined any forms because many people where just crule, mean, or just plane stupid because others didn't support a certin fandom or what not.

Then their are the people who get to power hunger, name being witheld on who he is, since we already know. So this is a bashing for him, I say we, people of the form, kick him out, block him out, where he has no controll over anyone or anything. How much do you bet I'm going to get spamed by that A.SS with this, have a warning, then this post going by-by because it dosen't fit his thing. I say its time for a revolution people, by help getting rid of said power hungy mad man, that is if he dosen't get the stick out of his A.SS, says hes sorry and back the f**k off, and resigne himself, after all, I would love to help run this site, I just don't want him to run it. I'm sure other fans would agree, the fourm is for fun, not to diss anyone who has little or lack of anime/manga in their life or where they are from, or even what anime or paring they like.

Pikari, Sakaki, Jeannette, and many others of the good people who read this, find your own voice, like the three mentioned above, and do whats right, because I'm going to.

Good Luck

[Emiko]

I will definitely join the new forum. Wholeheartedly agree with everything that's been said.

[Kasawa Lanford]

Link to a reply I made in the other thread: http://www.capturedwings.net/forums/index.php/topic,3849.msg209906.html#msg209906

I ask that you people hold off on leaving until I've talked with Sli... please...

[Becster]

I'm on my way to the new forum now. I agree completely. Arcademan is a moderator, yes, but he is not god. I'm not sure he quite understands that.

[Tenkuuken]

I say we back up Kasawa-san for now until the issues here and the dust of battle clears up, or until we all get our asses Erase Card-ed, whichever comes first.

[Kasawa Lanford]

Thanks Tenkuuken.

As long you people stay divided there is nothing that can be done, but united there is a possibility that something can be done

Take my word for it

[kixie]

Kasawa Lanford you have my back up and I know everyone in this forum will be behind you.

[Emiko]

I'll back this movement up. If something can be done, I'd definitely consider staying.

[Smile_For_Me]

I'm still staying around, I do hope this will end in a good way, where people wont have to feel torn between fourms.

[Kasawa Lanford]

I just hope Pikari and Sakaki got my PM's about this, because I really would like them to come and plead there case to Sli and Little Wolf. Even though they have already, it'll be stronger now that they realize the entire board is backing them up.

Perhap's I was just ignorant of what was going on, if I had realized sooner I'd have taken this matter up last NIGHT when Sli and I where having a nice conversation about her host :p

Anyway, if anyone knows how to get ahold of Pikari or Sakaki please do so for me. Because I'd love to know if they got my PM's or not

Also, if you want to talk to me about this my MSN is open to everyone =)

[lynalar]

I have really enjoyed this forum since finding it.  I would really hate to see so many people leave...especially people who contribute on a daily basis to what makes this forum so wonderful.  While I have never had an issues, personally, with the person in question...it seems many others have.

   I'd really like to see a way to work this out so that we don't lose many active and contributing members and moderators.

edit: I notice above that this issue has already been taken up with the board owners.  Obviously this is an issue that had created a HUGE amount of hurt feelings and not just among a couple of people...between the two threads I've seen 4-5 moderators and many, many members.  WHY was this issue ignored?!  I realize that they were busy with the board server change...but what is the point in a server change if the board itself is falling apart?

[KratosAurion]

I've been around for quite a while but not as long as you, however i've seen Arcademan's rude actitude towards other members. I would like to follow you if you're all leaving. If you're making another forum, how can we know it's url?

[Itzeen]

This is the 1st time that I join to a forum, but, Pikari and Sakaki you can't do any thing against Arcademan, you are two and he is one, ther's something that ypu can do, don't leave please, let's make this foruma again a good an very pacific place.

P.S. If you're leaving please send us a link to the new forum, please.

[Time-Machine]

After quite some time I'm logging back on to say that I totally support you. The hostility brought on, most often by Arcademan, in this forum is one of the primary reasons my activity dwindled. If he leaves, maybe it'll be time for me to come back for good. ^^

[D.J.P]

Ok,  this is going beyond a joke.

- Forum is being closed to all moderators concern contact me.

Expect a post shortly.

[D.J.P]

Ok. I'm locking this topic.

This was not the way to handle this.

Arcademan had step down before I made the sever move because of all this, and I wake up to find this?

This is a total joke joke - I ask everyone involved in this post to contact me, either by PM or by messenger for those that have it.
