Cut: The sign hung on the door to the taverns in the ghettos.
Cut: RavenBlack stating that it may be a week or more til the ghettos are reinstated.
Earlier, at approximately 6:00 PST, RavenBlack shut down the ghettos (temporarily), supposedly due to repeated abuse of ghettodwellers. Very little information was given, although I was able to converse with some of the moderators in the 'burbs and get their spin on things. RavenBlack did not wish to comment at this time.
<Coquette> RnR? Could you maybe offer me a statement for my article about what you think of this closing down unmodded thing?
<Raven+Nyx+Rayn> lol other then hopefully those that come here will follow the rules
<Coquette> Oh, hm. You don't think it's a good idea or a bad idea?
<Raven+Nyx+Rayn> i know many went there that didnt like the rules but most openly were there abusing the rules to harass people
* Coquette nods. *
<Raven+Nyx+Rayn> so for some that went there to unwind its bad for those that came to cause greif its a good thing
<Coquette> Yeah, I know a lot of people who simply went there for a relaxed environment, and they're feeling a little upset right now.
<Raven+Nyx+Rayn> i am sorry for those that went to unwind but the ones that abused it had to one day see it coming
<Coquette> Indeed. There's one person, Maelthras, who claims it's solely his doing that unmodded was shut down.
<Coquette> I personally think it's just a cumulation of all the abuse over the past few years.
<Raven+Nyx+Rayn> won't comment
<Raven+Nyx+Rayn> on mal
* Coquette nods. *
<Coquette> I know, it's not my place to ask about that, I just thought maybe if he's bragging about it, you guys should know.
<Raven+Nyx+Rayn> im suprised more arnt claiming it
* Coquette nods again. *
<Coquette> So am I, to be honest.
<Coquette> "I flooded the server out."
<Coquette> Or Mael, "They shut it down so I wouldn't tell people how to get around bans."
<Raven+Nyx+Rayn> others have done it before him
<Coquette> I know that. Which is why I laughed in his face. Heh.
<Coquette> Anyway, do I have your permission to put this conversation into my article?
<Raven+Nyx+Rayn> yes
<Coquette> Thank you.
* Coquette offers a hug and a dandelion on behalf of Bite. *
<Raven+Nyx+Rayn> thansk be safee
Most moderators seem to think it's a good idea, although it doesn't offer much of a choice to those who have been banned from the suburbs for breaking rules.
<deaths+embrace> what would you like to know?
<Coquette> Uhm, just what you think about the closing of unmodded, however temporary it is, and what you expect to happen while it's down.
<Coquette> I'm asking you, RnR, and Miyu.. and hopefully RavenBlack if he's alright with it.
<deaths+embrace> I do not think there should ever have been an unmodded. If they can not follow the rules, why reward them for bad behavior?
* Coquette nods. *
<Coquette> A lot of people just went there for a more relaxed environment, and are now a bit upset, though.
<deaths+embrace> It is a sad state, that a few bad apples spoiled it for others, but the rules are clear as to what is allowed and what is not even in umodded.
* Coquette nods. *
<Coquette> One person is claiming that RavenBlack shut unmodded down so that he couldn't tell people how to get around bans.
<deaths+embrace> I do not know. Only RB can answer for RB
<Coquette> Yeah. And he left, so I'm not getting a quote from him. Heh.
<Coquette> But you think it will be good, redirecting most of the population back to modded?
* deaths+embrace smiles, "At least I will not be sittig here filing my nails" *
* Coquette giggles. *
<Coquette> No the mods will never be.. *coughs* you know the word.
* deaths+embrace winks, "Exactly" *
* Coquette smiles. *
<Coquette> So can I use this conversation in my article, with your permission?
<deaths+embrace> Yes, you may
<Coquette> Thank you.
* Coquette offers a hug and a dandelion on behalf of Bite. *
<Coquette> As soon as Miyu replies, I should have enough information.
* deaths+embrace hugs back, "Have fun. At least there really was news today." *
<Coquette> I know.
RavenBlack also took into consideration a suggestion for implementing a tavern for those pires who have Second-Sight or over 500 pints of blood. He is said to be working on that idea.
Miyu has not responded to my inquiries as of yet, probably because she's quite busy handling this situation. As soon as she does, I will follow up with her statement. Also, whatever appears on LiS covering the situation will be added as well.
