Event id #2065 : 3-Color-Logo Competition 2013
"Submitted by dandee [PM] on 7 March 2013
Bad news. Sorry to say, but Didi has been kicked out of CSDB and he asked me to tell you that the compo is canceled, as he can't take care from the outside. The reasons for kicking him are kind of a mystery to us and have not been told. Ask the admins of this very site for reasons. Sad to see another active guy, that actually contributed a lot (specially to growth of this archive) been thrown out. Sorry to all you guys who did a fabulous job and put much efforts into this, but under this circumstances you probably will understand that it does not make much sense to carry on with this compo. Never really been active here, but I guess I will deactivate my account as well. Take care..."
So, what happened here? |

If he was temporally banned to keep him from doing stuff that was not wanted and he had no clearance for, I see no problem?
Its not like he was deleted forever or such.
We've had people here with true destructive intentions - noone claimed Didi was like that.
How to keep someone from getting his own way when it doesnt agree with the idea of those in charge?
This is not the US, you cant just shoot him ;-)
I, too hope he returns in a 'compatible' way. |

Quoting Groepaz
the community has about as much freedom there as in perffs living room.
Ohh, CSDB is just bones without content. Don't take the merits of the members!
Feel the community's pulse! |

just like a party in perffs living room. the people make the party indeed, and without them the party would not exist. that however does in no way imply that anyone has the right to ignore whatever silly rule perff comes up with for his living room. |

I may be hated now, but I am amazed that people can give full support för Didi's cause and go berzerk on the admins without knowing what happened; take it easy - it's enough to ask what happened before taking a side here - if it's even about that. The whole day CSDb has been a lunatic melodramatic scream. I don't know what happened, but I guess it has something to do with Didi not wanting to listen to repeatedly pointed out ways how to not fuck up the database standards. This is however just my guess, so I stay neutral in this question waiting for more information. Calm down everybody. Didi has done a great work adding stuff to csdb and initiated popular compos, but haven't the admins worked their asses off to get this database running smoothly year after year? I think it's quite rude to point them out as orcs/nazis/evil before knowing the cause of this. Just my 5 cents. Now bash hedning time, I'm afraid... :/ |

Invalid reasoning :) In the reality if you invite peeps to your living room party and set some silly rules and throw out some renitent mate who enjoys the friendships of many - that can piss off the majority of the guests and you may be thrown out of your own party in a sec. You would never risk that face-to-face :)
Case seems to be straight to me. He fucked up rule #whatever. You warned. He kept on. You warned. He kept on. You kicked. Simple.
I really feel sorry for him as he started some great thing with the recent compos, it is something as I can imagine the future of the scene: Brotherhood and that is what Cargo is speaking about, too. But I also accept that as long as you decide to be a member of a site (any site that is not set by yourself) you should keep the frame. |

Look, IF Didi promises to keep to the rules, then by all means he can be back (after sunday anyways).
But he needs to understand that the rules we have here are here because of reasons, and they did not spring up out of nothing. They are all heavuly debated by the mods.
Groepaz usually works as the mouthpiece of the mods, so he's the one who gets called a Nazi mod (which is not very nice). But me and other Mods back him up all the way.
It is nice that Didi is organising compos and doing new releases, great even, but that does not give him license to shit all over the mods and keep to his own rules.
Both Groepaz and Zyron were extremely polite at first when telling him about the rules. After he kept on breaking them SEVERAL times, and after SEVERAL warnings he was banned. So, to me, justified, and necesary.
So to Didi's friends: let him know if he calms down, and promises to respect the rules, and follow the mods lead when asked, then he can return. |

@Hedning & Celtic: Godwin? Not before your postings ;) Don't expect anyone to be mad at you because of your postings either :)
Just in case your were referring to my posting: An admin himself declared CSDb to be "not democratic", which is nothing I blame them for but a fact I accepted long ago. Since Groepaz knows me in persona, I don't have to put ";) IRONY ALERT ;)" infront and behind everything in extralarge letters if I use words like "totalitarian".
Apart from a few impulsive postings, enough people did not take sides yet but just try to encourage both sides to settle the situation.
@Celtic: Sounds fine, thx, so everybody can calm down again. |

invalid reasoning. that only applies if your friends consist of a bunch of retards that would back up someone who choose to piss off the one who invited them to a party. i sure would "risk" it face-to-face, as i dont need those retards to be my friends at all. (and as a party organizer of various scene parties, i have been at this point a few times) |
