Ozzy's demotion from TAZ explained

[SneakyDave]

Howie must have had a bad day yesterday. In a profile post to Ozzy on TAZ, he explains the justification for removing Ozzy as staff, and why he had an orange colored member status.

 

It seems The Howie didn't want to be too hard on Ozzy for demoting him from staff, that he let him keep his chat moderating privileges.

But of course, in true Howie fashion, he couldn't let his true feelings be known, so the whole conversation was deleted, it appears.

EDIT: Original thread title said that Ozzy was banned from TAZ.

where are all the comments by Ozzy? Why not post those screen grabs? Doctor much?

[Guest bill pilgrim]

was my post deleted already

I can't say that I actually "hate" anyone, specially people on the internet whom I have never met in real life, but damn, that Danielx64 comes close.

[SneakyDave]

Guest posts are moderated Bill. I have to manually approve them. I don't know if there were any comments from Ozzy. I think the comments were removed before getting the entire batch of them.

 

Like I said, must have been a bad day for Howie. Seldom does anybody see him in a kerfuffle like that.

[SneakyDave]

Daniel seems to want to appear ignorant, but yet wants to be involved with everything, hmmmmm...

He's the little bitch from high school who always tried stirring things up between other people.

There's a comment from Ozzy in the first image that I see.

[Guest bill pilgram]

We have all of your images. That much should be obvious Sneaky Dave. I might just join your site to answer you all.

 

• I don't know how bill pilgrim could even see those screenshots if he's not even registered, unless he zoomed them in or something.
  
• or unless Gary? GTB always comes up with lame user names for his sock puppets
  
• Zooming in just messes the image up
  
• probably somebody that just didn't want their comment attached to a name here I suppose.
  
• Or maybe the screenshots are being passed around elsewhere

Let me take this time to post a public address to Howie.

 

Kiss my hairy ass and go fuck yourself.

 

Carry on.

[Sheldon]

Awwwww, cute. Howie keeps tabs on us.

 

As if we didn't already know that happened.

[SneakyDave]

I don't understand why Howie lashed out like that, and then decided to delete everything. The comments were up for a few hours, weren't they?

[Sheldon]

Long enough for me to get screens.

[Edge]

Ain't that cute, he thinks the site is dedicated to hating on him.. Fucking egos... everywhere..

[Scrotnig]

This is all eerily reminiscent of how my own site got going a whole fourteen years ago....resulted in my own dismissal as a moderator from a UK ISP's support forums and the traction sort of built up from there.

 

I don't wish TAZ any ill will, but they appear to have got to this dangerous point of what seem to be paranoid bans / demotions etc. With that and the apparent security issues, it's not a great time for them at the moment. Despite them rather inexplicably banning me a couple of years ago, I hope they pick things up and sort them out. TAZ isn't a bad site overall, Howard isn't a "bad person", and I don't think they do anything intentionally malicious.

[Scrotnig]

Another point. I don't think this is a "TAZ hate site". Though I can see why Howard might see it that way.

If I thought it was, I wouldn't even be here.

 

I am not here because of anything TAZ-related, for example.

[Paul]

TAZ isn't a bad site overall, Howard isn't a "bad person", and I don't think they do anything intentionally malicious.

It/he is and I've had first hand experience with maliciousness from a couple of TAZ admins (Lisa and Dardoli - whatever his name is). What's happening to TAZ right now is called Karma.

[Sheldon]

Doctor much?

 

No, I'm an anesthesiologist.

[Sheldon]

TAZ isn't a bad site overall, Howard isn't a "bad person", and I don't think they do anything intentionally malicious.

 

I know for a fact Jacquii was removed as a mod simply because Morganna didn't like her.

 

Next on her target list was Trixie Tang... no clue what happened with that.

[Edge]

I know for a fact Jacquii was removed as a mod simply because Morganna didn't like her.

 

So, she's done one thing right at least..

[SneakyDave]

Haven't seen Trixie post in a while. Maybe she's muzzled.

 

Looks like she last posted in March and is no longer staff.

You don't know how wrong you are. He is a bad person, but, hides it well by having his staff do his biddings. At one time he had a couple staff member that's only job was to spam other forums with TAZ links. They did in via PM. There are other things too.

[SneakyDave]

Yeah, I don't think a lot of people realize what a sneaky (as if it's a bad word!) bastard he is. He desperately tries not to get his hands dirty in all these messes, but he might be the dirtiest one of all. I think he spends just as much time trying to pull off the squeaky clean image.

[Scrotnig]

Well, I dunno. Nobody's provided any actual evidence for many of the supposed wrong doings at TAZ.

I know they banned me, so I'm not really here to sing their praises, but some of the stuff that gets claimed seems a little too far fetched to me.

 

If anyone's got any actual evidence I'll glady change my tune but until then, I just view them a fairly ok site that sometimes gets a bit over-zealous with banning people, that's all.

 

Maybe I'm just being gullible and / or try to see the best in people. Charges I won't necessarily contest.

[Sheldon]

Evidence of what.....?
