Reinstate Didactylos as CA!!!

I do not accept this kind of treatment.

Didactylos is a too good (best CA) member of WCG to be treated like that on an issue as stupid as overzealous. Based on the principle of "Vox Populis Vox Deis" and in the name of fairness I demand to be reinstated and for whatever issues WCG had with him to be solved amiable by both parties. Some respect should be given to WCG members. I’m fed up with this "above law and respect" attitude of people in power. Isn’t enough that the economy is on the brink of destruction because of stupid and corrupt managers? At least in a volunteering enterprise like WCG we should have some better heads.

And being overzealous is a crime only for people that do not really share the same goals. From what I heard, the issue is not even a big one. At least not one that it can be solved pretty quickly.

For people that do not know anything on this subject, you can read

Re: Reinstate Didactylos as CA!!!

damir1978, I'm in agreement with you. I'm sure that, with reasoned discussion and a bit of 'give and take' on both sides, an amicable agreement can be reached that would, in the minimum, allow Didactylos to again post (that is, I'm presuming that he's been banned from posting - although with no word whatsoever from the Admins on this, this is just pure guesswork on my behalf).

Didactylos did put a lot of effort into his CA role and into supporting/promoting WCG to be shunned like this, and although WCG may not wish to reinstate his CA title (that is, if he would want the role again), he doesn't deserve to be "sent to Coventry".

Re: Reinstate Didactylos as CA!!!

I'll try and be as diplomatic as possible.
I think you might find that there are many that would disagree with your assessment of Didactylos.
I'm not going to get into a mud slinging mess on this but just want you to realise that your opinion is just that, your opinion.

Re: Reinstate Didactylos as CA!!!

I agree; he was a very good CA who provided a lot of great support, regardless of your disagreements with his opinions. Unfortunately, I don't think much will be done about it though.

You mean my opinion and gb009761's opinion so far. Let's see in the end how many are of your opinion and how many are of mine.

WCG members should be treated with respect as partners by WCG, not as sheep.
We are not sheep! We ARE the FUEL and ENGINE of this thing. And if a member like Didactylos can be removed so brutally on petty things like being overzealous I think we should see what WCG can do without FUEL and ENGINE.
In the end it ... is all about principles and respect.

(Puts on flamesuit)

Actually no, I was refering to you as the person who started this thread. It was and is YOUR opinion and your entitled to it.
As to whether more people agree or disagree with your opinion or mine or anyone elses it's a done deal and not worth a tinker's damn discussing.
This doesn't appear to be a poll but a thread by one person who appears to be suffering from "panties in a bunch" syndrome because a person was removed as a CA from this forum.
I think you ought to realise another truism in life.
Forums like this aren't democracies but more like benevolent dictatorships.
Play within the guidelines and life is rosy and cheery.
Play outside of those guidelines and it can seem like the whole world is coming down on you.
Now your buddy here took it upon himself to create something with WCG's name but without their permission and it appears they didn't like what he did.
Then to add fuel to the fire he wouldn't let it go and went public here with the issue.
His call and no one elses.
He played with fire and got burned and thats the reality of what happenned.
If you see it any other way may I ask what color is the sky in the world you live in?

Re: Reinstate Didactylos as CA!!!

I think the whole situation definitely could have been handled better. There should have been some private conversation between the two parties behind the scenes and maybe some compromise on both parts. Apparently that didn't happen or broke down somewhere in the process, which is why it made itself public in the chat room.
I totally understand Didactylos for wanting to help recruit new members and add functionality to WCG, but I also understand that WCG are the official party here and if they do not want any part of it they are in no way obligated.
It seems like people got their feet stepped on and didn't bother to move them out of the way so it kept happening.
I would welcome Didactylos back as a CA. He has always been helpful in the forums, especially linux related questions, and it will be a shame if he decides not to continue to offer support. He is still a volunteer just not with the Community Advisor status and will still be a valued asset to WCG.

I could answer with lots of arguments on everything you said or for that matter what the so called "establishment" says. But having experienced a communist system I know ALL ABOUT you and the establishment it is not worth it. Truth speaks by itself.

Nobody denied that Didactylos made some mistakes. It is the way the establishment handles the mistakes that speaks about them. It is still speaking out loud. It is the whole "benevolent dictatorship" attitude that bothers me. There is not such a thing as "benevolent dictatorship" only dictatorship of a few flawed man over a mass of flawed people. Now... in a democracy, with the help of principles like law, fairness, good arguments etc. people have the benefice of getting past some of the flaws.

But in a dictatorship this is not possible.
Like I said.... It is a matter of principle here.
