As I've said before, there are discussions being had between the mod team, we just need to find the appropriate solution that we cna all get behind.
I'm happy for this thread to continue as a discussion rather than an argument, which it is threatening to turn into. Once again, I cannot comment on the events that happened because I wasn't there at the time.
However what I will say that intentionally insulting a member of the staff, especially if you're unfamiliar with them is not a great idea. Yes staff make mistakes just like any other user, but that is not an invitation to go open season on them.
To me, mistakes were made on every side and finding a path forward is gonna take some compromises from everyone.

This is pretty much the definition of false equivalence. I sent screenshots of a “private community” that was effectively conspiring to get Ruby removed from her place as moderator because of past transgressions and personal squabbles. Which by the way, I sent these images to the Site Administrator that a dangerous precedent was beginning to unfold that I personally found problematic despite being friendly acquaintances with the core group at the time. I never aired these images “publicly” and told Mahz specifically that I quote:
“It seems there is a particularly vocal sub-sect of the unofficial discord server that are confused, angry, and disappointed. I’m not sure how to report things in this manner since I don’t want to waste your time – I’m sure Cynder is expressing her concerns. With that said, I wish you the best in this situation. I’m currently watching the situation unfold. I’ve sent several picture evidence that I have forwarded to you.”
It is only comparable if you take things at face value alone. But I do appreciate you trying to sow more dissent, Nyt.
@Didgeridont The most suitable thing I could come up with is she's filed under the Public Relations Department. (The faces that show up at fancy parties and press conferences as representatives of Biotechnica's interests.) Perhaps a media related position where she would be assumed to work behind the scenes, perhaps on public forums, online conferences, and is assumed to help with any negative backlash associated with whatever disasters we (the characters) get up to—A sort of Damage Control.
"PR: Information Control" sounds like a nice, fancy, and completely fabricated, yet believable, titled.
I feel like this would be a believable reason for her to knowledgable about the rather.. sensitive operations we're (the characters) likely to be a part of and give her a believable reason to attend any face-to-face mission briefings.
Shit, I almost forgot my original intention for posting.
@Didgeridont
What I meant, about the cover story, is that in Chiue's Backstory she's asked Biotechnica not to reveal the link between her and Kid Kandi. Now, if that's acceptable (I assume with all of the influx of information, that particular tidbit just got lost, no worries) that means she'll need a proper cover story.
Dude this music is the bomb. Where did you get this stuff?
