You know, I've not commented here at all but I read the original post and I was heartened by the level-headed and "thoughtful" replies to what was a rather bombastic write up. I still haven't seen one link to the kind of content or comments that cause his "blood prussure" to fluctuate. Sadly, I think kleinbl00 likely has the proper motivation for the post, no evidence exists otherwise.
There is only one thing that I find even interesting about k's comments -- they're on my post. I have had him muted for a long time. So, mk , either mr. K has a special dispensation to be un-mutable -- or you guys have a mole on your admin team. Another good reason to go elsewhere.
Yep, those are the only two reasons that this could have occurred, KB has special powers or there is a "mole" on our admin team. insomniasexx or forwardslash can one of you "decent" folks look in to this? Thank you
Looks like you can reply to someone else in a post that you're muted in when looking at that user's comments so long as that user doesn't have you muted. Business logic: the cause of 80% of bugs in code.
You sure it wasn't because we have a mole on the admin team? We ought to fix this prior to the rewrite launch. What do you think? Is that doable?
Well, I hear if you put cat poop in the mole holes they leave.
It's because I shouted him out. Basically there is a loophole regarding shoutouts & mutes - the "letting the vampire in" situation. It applies to all users. Even I haven't figured out what specifics have to happen or what / where you can reply from. I was unaware that kb was muted by em when I shouted him out, so there was no conspiracy or mole.
Thanks insom, perhaps we ought to re-consider closing that vampire loop-hole. Or at least making the person shouting out aware of what they're inviting in...
It was the vampire invite. If someone shouts out to you, you can reply to that comment. It's an unintentional bug/feature that we decided is interesting enough to keep around for now.
