KGS Worst AdminOrAssistant
Table of contents |
Background
Just as in the real world, there are good apples and bad apples, there's bound to be good admin/assistant and bad admin/assistant. It's a sad fact that not all people can handle "power". Since there's a page that awards "BEST" admin/assitant to recognize the work of some wonderful admin/assistant, there should be a page that also shows the "not-so-pretty" half of some of the people that has been entrusted to administrate our beloved KGS server.
In this regard, clueless as i am in wiki-editing, i took on the effort of starting this page. Why now? I've been an user in KGS for like 5 years now. Why start now? Well, you see, i had my shares of disagreement with a few admin, especially during the introduction of English Chat Room. But of course that was to no avail. After that period, i've decided that it's not really worth the aggravation. Once the admin has decided, we users don't really have any say in it, right? Well, a fresh encounter with an old "buddy" admin of mine, recently had me thinking again. KGS is like a home to me, as i'm sure that many KGS users will say the same. So if we don't even bother to try to help shape it into a better place, who will?
Why not just email the "recommended" admin@igoweb.org , some might say. Most user who have walked this path will probably tell you the same thing. Sure, they're courteous, and will reply your email. But after some back and forth correspondence, most of the time you probably will feel as if you were having a discussion with a brickwall. As one user once observed, "Have you ever see any instance where an active admin/assistant comes out and said -that admin/assistant MIGHT have been wrong/mishandled the issue/overreacted?-".
Hopefully, by the creation of this page, there will be some recognition about "questionable" work of some admin that might lead to better and clearer standards for admins in doing their job.
In that spirit, I'm going to start this page by nominating a dear "friend" of mine, BigDoug. So BigDoug, here's to you, my friend.
--NoSide
cdude: Can we vote against the nominees too? I find that KGS admins (including BigDoug) are effective at reducing unpleasant chatter and do it with a sense of humor and tolerance. And yes, that includes telling _me_ to be quiet. This is very different from the arbitrary and reckless booting that takes place on IGS, or the incessant spam at Yahoo... - Well, since I wrote this things have changed. Arbitrary and reckless booting are starting on KGS as well. __
Thad: Actually if BigDoug has his way, KGS will become a lot more like IGS. See the comment I added to his name.__
Noside : Hardly consistent with the purpose that i started this page with :) Been a while since i checked this page. I wonder whether the admins/assistants posting nominations below are for real. It certainly looks as if someone (or somepeople) are trying very hard to make this page looks like a joke. I wonder why :) Oh and by the way, i've removed bigdoug's nomination of himself (regardless whether it's the real bigdoug's posting or not), since if one admin/assistant feels that him/herself is the worst admin/assistant, he/she should just resign instead of posting here. Logical, right? :) __
IanDavis: I'm afraid it isn't. BigDoug has as much right to vote as you have. I'm reinstating his democratic rights.
Noside : Well, if you could give me one good reason why an admin who feels he/herself is the worst admin shouldn't resign his position (instead of nominating here), then i'd be happy to receive his nomination. Besides, you're not supposed to cast a vote using other people's name :)
sigh: No matter how good the admins are, there will always be a worst one. If we made this a game of weakest link by eliminating the worst admin one by one then there would be no admins left. Anyone should be able to vote for themselves, and just because they think all the other admins are better doesn't mean they think they are bad enough to have to resign.
Who knows?
gryn?: I no longer go to KGS, because the admins do not have to tell you that they banned you. If you get banned, legitimately or not, it is *vital* that the one banned know who banned them. This is not so they can attack the admin, it is simply so the admin has responsibility. You cannot have admin (i.e. power) without responsibility.
Yes, I was banned anonymously recently. When I asked to have my accounts deleted (which was btw, somewhat reasonably explained why it my request was denied), I was not told who banned me, nor was any interest shown to see if I was banned legitimately.
I do not feel I have any right to complain, because I do not pay for the service. So, my only recourse is really to stop using the service, my passwords are now randomized, you won't see me online again.
I only post here, because it is third party page, and it seems a genuine solicitation for advice. Thus, above (and follows) is my advice -- KGS is not governed by the people in any way, it is governed by a group of unaccountable deities; fair thee well when they smile upon you, but woe betide you if you meet their ill. For me? I'll have no part.
cdude: I agree. When I was banned, I asked for an explanation. A transcript was provided that actually disproved the admin's claim. After I pointed that out, I got no response.
Shuzai: Why are there admins? They spend their lives censoring the rooms but what is really the harm of not regulating? There should be a mute player option if people find others' free speech that offensive. Plus, shouldn't we take pity on the admins for wasting their lives, mindlessly filtering a chatroom? Those admins displaying diligence and vigilence for hundreds of hours should instead be given a break. They can dedicate themselves to working at Mcdonalds and even make some money!
How this works
Please submit your KGS nick when you vote.
I would like this page to be transparent. If you feel you have a valid complaint against an admin/assistant, there shouldn't be a need for you to be anonymous. KGS isn't really run by a Gestapo-inspired admins, so there shouldn't be any repercussion even if you post your KGS nick here when you nominate. So if you don't dare to come out and say it outright, then don't bother. This probably will discourage people from posting, but in the long run i feel this will be more beneficial as to give more credibility.
You don't have to actually feel YOU've been wronged by an admin/assistant to qualify you to vote. Even if you only observed and disagree with an admin/assistant conduct, feel free to cast your vote here.
To nominate a new admin/assistant, simply add the new nominations in the nomination tab.
To add your vote to an existing nomination, add your KGS-NICK in the nominator list.
--Noside
A voice of Reason
I want to make it clear that i never intended this page to be an attack of any admin or assistants as A PERSON. I'm sure that there are plenty of people who'll vouch for the people who're nominated here as "good person".
I intended this page to be a page where KGS users can say "I think A or B is doing a bad job at being an admin/assistant". So far, users really have no place to channel this opinion. (and please, none of that "you could just say it to an admin". We all know how well that works :P). This is why I insisted that one must use his KGS nick to nominate, as anonymity would be detrimental to the purpose of this page
I don't really see what's wrong with the existence of this page, and even less why it was described as "THIS SORT OF PAGE HAS NO PLACE ON SL."
Finally, let me quote Arno on what he thinks about SL: ""I don't understand what people are fighting about. SL is a large sandbox, in fact, it is so large some people mistake it for a beach. What I'm trying to say is that everyone can build his own sandcastle here. I don't understand why certain pages are a threat. Let them have their sandcastle, and you can have yours. And where your pages intersect be respectful and share alike (e.g. like on the liberty page which gives room to both meanings of the term). I don't see an issue that can not be sorted out.""
In this spirit, I've put back the Nominations below.
--NoSide
So far I have seen no "Nomination tag". I have seen certain efforts to delete this site. God forbid! ~cycleist.
egb - considered reasons for the nomination are potentially a great help to both the nominee and other nominators - the objective being to improve admin ?
I think they usually do a great job. It can be difficult to accept that, at times, one does not do as good a job as one would wish....
Nominations
There seems to be NO "nomination tag". By default clicking on 'Nominations' goes to Big Doug. I would not only want to say a few kind words for BD, but I would also like to 'nominate' certain assholes to the ranks. So really, how do I do that????
Cycleist !
OK, I try: NoKnott. She's such a PRUDE! Really quakes in fear when Lenny Bruce is mentioned.

Nominated by : Noside

PeterHB: Explanation for deleting subpage 'here'.
Thad:A few days ago, I was on CyberOro watching progames. I was also on KGS. I asked ( in the EGR ) whether anyone knew what the game that Cho Chikun was playing on Oro. There were some people who tried to help, and some people who were rude. I started a conversation with the helpfull people and ignored the rude ones. At which point BigDoug chimed and told me to stop trolling, and that CyberOro was not on topic there.
I cannot imagine an IRC baseball chat channel where a person asking who the Dodgers are playing tonight, is told he is off topic. BTW the game was the final round of the preliminary tournament for Meijin.
Adante: He simply bans without warning and when he does actually take an effort to warn, then it's about something not even relevant to the situation or conversation at hand. I can't be arsed is one thing you should never ever say within his presence. In the 5 years that I've been hanging out on KGS he never really changed into a positive influence there. He earned my vote alright.
WindupBird? BigDoug is a bully who cannot tolerate any behavior out of the ordinary. If I stop using kgs it because of his behavior.
BramGo He's the worst. No doubt! Kicks people who "disbehave". But disbehaving can be anything from saying "damn, hell, bush, islam, ..." to NOT talking Go in the "english game room". He just kicks everybody sometimes.
gougou? I was watching the oza tournament today. People were talking about players and chitchatting etc. Then bigdoug prints in big bold letters: "DO not talk about anything except this game". Of course this is just plain silly in my opinion. So I typed "what's with these overzealous admins lately" because I've seen this type of nonsense in the past from other admits as well (particularly javaness). I got banned immediately without any warning. Is there anybody we can appeal to? I personally think that bigdoug should be stripped of his privileges. Also, how do people get nominated to be admins?
KoKs To me, BigDoug is a nice admin. He's much easier than other admins like jyem or Nyanjila(this is the only admin I've ever been struggled with). When almost other admins either ignored or denied my request of creating new room, he, BigDoud?, kindly approve mine. :), Thanks a lot, BigDoug. guest The other day I was watching bigbadwolf vs roln111. The time of the game was very late in russia. I mentioned this. Bigdoug read it. Kicked twice and then banned.
MrTenuki: It seems that "short blocks for off-topic chat during major tournament demonstrations" is an unwritten rule-- their rationale is supposedly that off-topic chat tends to overshadow or "flood out" the commentary on the game (which is a real problem when there are ~300 observers).
Something like what you've describe had also happened to me once during the demonstration of a US Go congress game, where I made a joking comment that WAS off-topic. If I remember correctly, it was only a 2- or 3-hour block (which I wouldn't consider to be unreasonable as that achieved the goal of keeping the player off KGS for not much longer than the duration of the game itself). Of course, some admins are more likely to give 48-hour blocks than others, so tread carefully...)
Update: The following is actual data from January 20, 2008, though, during the demonstration of the North American Oza game between Jiang Minjiu and Ko Daehyuk.
- A private conversation with BigDoug revealed that part of the reason that admins currently have to issue temporary bans is that they don't have the ability to disable a user from using the chat function without kicking that person off the server. Indeed, BigDoug initially issued warnings first to give specific "offenders" a chance to stop off-topic chat instead of issuing bans immediately.
- I confirmed this by checking the user list immediately after someone makes an off-topic comment to see if that person is booted. Of course, some players did get booted-- around move 60, one player was banned for "foul language," and another for asking a fellow high dan for a game. (When confronted with "please keep comments about this game only," the second player argued that he was asking a question instead of making a comment. It wasn't until then that he got booted as well.)
- At move 66, another player got booted for repeated off-topic comment after warning, and a fourth user got booted for responding to that with "BigDoug stop being so controlling we're still talking about the tournament even though it's not just about this game."
- Afterward, BigDoug clarified a question regarding where general chat about the Oza tournament should go: "please keep the comments only about this game - you can talk about the tournament outside." This was met with a comment from a fifth user, who said "BigDoug the talking about the tournament does not violate the TOS, other than 'When an admin makes a request, please comply' and your request is nonvalid. please stop causing a fuss." and was instantly booted as well.
- A sixth player (a non-admin) then quoted, "even if its not in TOS, u should still only talk about game. this is starting to flood and people cant focous on game like this. please just be nice ans listen to bigdoug. thanks," and most of the off-topic chat stopped for a while. By move 81, however, "obama" made a political comment and was booted immediately.
- Move 140: Another player was booted after asking BigDoug why he got disconnected for asking general questions about the tournament and stating "is there free speech is the US?" BigDoug's response: "he's off to study the constituion - carry on." (This was followed by two lol's)
cmon67? I was asking why talking about the tournament in a tournament game is not allowed and got banned for it (There had been a general warning to focus on the game). Im still wondering what sense that "rule" makes, sadly he didnt get around to answering my question. (Maybe he makes up rules like this, in order to have more reasons to ban people?).
moonie98 - BigDoug never really warns. He would say "stop the discussion", and makes everyone wonder what he is referring to, and to whom... and if you are a slow witted person, or didn't catch what BigDoug was referring to, and do that again by mistake or whatever, you get a nice boot, and will be disconnected for hours. If you send e-mail complaining about it, BigDoug would send a response saying something similar to "if you don't agree with us, cannot come to KGS". Haha... what a character! He thinks everyone should think the same way like robots. and, his standard varies. Usually, he will boot just because he can often making up ridiculous rules at any moment. I tried to argue with him after he booted me. My comment was "women likes fashion". And, he booted me. I didn't know what that was about, and complained. He said I made a sexist remark! For godsake! So laughable! Anyways, the best solution is to have different accounts at different go servers. Get accounts from CyberOro or IGS. That's exactly what I did, after BigDoug said to me, something like "if you don't agree with us, you will get banned". Who cares! I lost interest in KGS. There are too many good go servers. Especially in East Asia. So long KGS, so long KGS Bully BigDoug! :P
FabienO: I nominate BigDoug too, he banned me for using the acronym for "World Taekwondo Federation" the guy is captain serious and really needs to just relax a little, he treats it like some kids are going to read my acronym and start using it at their parents, if they know what "wt*" means then they already know the word.
eoe?: Asked a player for a game in an otherwise silent room and was booted. Amazing.
big doug banned me during tartrate vs gentlerain game for "repeated off topic chatting" when i asked " who is ahead" so big doug has my vote
Random KGS player: During a carefree KGS English Go Room conversation, someone asked what the longest word that could be typed with the left hand. Jokingly I entered a few random keys typed with my left hand and pressed enter. I Said that it was orcish for "I want pizza." Later on - after a discussion about maths, a few people mentioned pizza eating. To continue my joke from earlier I once again entered a few random keys and pressed enter. Response? BigDoug said to "stop it immediately". He typed it with 3 seconds response time. He obviously wasn't present at the time of original context and didn't reply when tetris appoligized for me. (I felt it was better to just keep quiet). Isn't it funny when the one who claims to destroy trolls has trollish behaviour himself?
Here is an example of BigDoug's mannerisms in the EGR room: /Transcript01
Recently, someone asked in EGR if mods can "declare wins" (in the case of escapers, I think), which spawned a conversation about that. Someone else replied "mods don't declare wins on kgs. They don't give lapdances for that matter, either." I said "some do. Give lapdances, that is." BigDoug said "no more discussion about lapdances." FAIR enough, everyone seemed to leave it at that, and it was quite for a minute or two, then BigDoug said specifically to me "no more trolling for the next 24 hours." I asked how I was trolling and was immediately banned for "inappropriate behavior." I've seen him accuse multiple people of trolling in the past when they obviously weren't. I don't mind when a mod says "no more discussion on this topic in egr," but I do mind when people ban that easily, or even accuse people of trolling for no reason.
calabaza2d? - BigDoug? should change his name to BigDouche?. Once during a game he warned others that they were off topic (time systems, canadian/japanse...) then the room changed topics to local go clubs, again BigDouche? got his panties in a bunch and stated that the only topic allowed was comments on the game. I then made my first comment "censorship on KGS is worse than china" and he booted me. BigDouche? earned my vote as worst admin.
If no one complains about the topic, and considering that the topic was go related, then a good admin would look the other way and let people talk.
DragonXiao? - He really is an ass. I don't think I have ever met an admin more rude than him. Once I asked for help on installing CyberOro. He promptly tells me to take the discussion elsewhere, so I take it to the ECR. He stalks me there and tells me to google the answer and to stop trolling. BigDoug? really seems to be compensatig for something. He needs a prescription for some blue pills.
2. jyem
Nominated by : Medice
Jyem is not the only person at fault with my complaint; I've only chosen to vote for Jyem because the room policy for the EGR is found at igoweb.org/~jyem. I feel that the reasons for warnings are simply getting out of hand (this is not to imply that their usually are logical reasons). People are daily, maybe hourly warned for talking about something that might offend a particular admin, regardless of whether the general population of the room is interested in the subject. Upon talking via PM with Nyanjilla, another admin, he simply stated "Use common sense". Common sense is something that is applicable when you are talking about swearing, offensive language, and the like, but how is it common sense to regulate conversations based on a particular admin's preferences?
Talking about KGS policy, current events, and many more topics have been prohibited in the EGR from time to time. To me it is silly to ban this type of conversation. If I were to make my own GO server, I would allow freedom of speech, possibly restricting on sex-related conversation, swearing, and common areas of "taboo" -- not for friendly conversation.
But this is not my GO Server. I don't make the rules. But why not state what can be banned in the KGS policy? Having a subjective set of rules might be alright, but they need to be more clearly defined because there are simply too many biases of admins on this server. I am not the only one on KGS that becomes annoyed when our conversation is restricted, when we are not doing ANYTHING that has been restricted in the KGS Policies.
Most of all, when asked about these kinds of issues, an admin should respond to you and try to help the situation. Not just ban you from the server or ignore you.
As quoted from Nyjilla today, people that don't like the KGS admins or the KGS policy shouldn't try to make things better... They should "just drop it".

9. javaness
Nominated by : Drimgere
Namii: Squirrels should be collecting nuts for the winter.
BramGo: In my opinion he's not really an admin. He's a troll. He likes to trashtalk along with other trashtalkers. He continues trashtalking as long as he's having fun, when he gets tired of it, he suddenly changes attitude and stops the discussion by kicking some people. That's javaness his way of saying "I started the trashtalk, and I can decide when it's over".
gougou?: Bramgo: i completely agree with you, except for one point: he IS an admin, unfortunately! Just today, out of the blue he in english room (in bold): "Is everyone being good today?" (without any reason!!). I find such attitude despicable. Java, being an admin is a priveledge. If you abuse it, you should be banned.
His voting for himself just proves this point. People, we should take this seriously. We should complain repeatedly to glue until abuser's admin priveledges are revoked. This is the only way to get rid of the police state that KGS is increasingly becoming.
jak? This guy is the best example of a computer nerd who thinks he's drunk on power. He has his own definition of EGR justice, and enforces them. After he enforces them, he pats himself on the back and tells everyone else the great job he's done. This guy needs to be removed NOW!!!!! before everyone in EGR becomes his enemy, and this guy oh man the way he treats his enemies is like a psycho that hunts down his victims. For example, if you are in a game, he won't hesitate to ban you just make you into an escaper.
Born2BeKyu? I completely agree with BramGo and gougou. He IS a troll and his admin status should be removed. Because of this, KGS is getting worse... It might be off-topic, but that's why I'm programming a new go server with my team... Maybe it will be a boom. OUR admins won't be like this. eXoduS01de?EDIT: But the name is cool. :D

10. Igobot?
Nominated by : tesuji
11. Nyanjilla
Frequently bans without warning.
A shallow-minded admin who demands even legitimate topics to be stopped.
usagi Whoever nominated Nyan didn't sign their name, so I will officially nominate Nyanjilla. Nyanjilla is frequently insulting towards people, and I have him on record in a few of my games insulting my playstyle. Frankly I'm suprised someone who holds those kind of grudges made it to Admin, but I suppose he does an okay job..
BramGo I've been playing on KGS for over 5 years. And I've been banned 4 times. 2 times by BigDoug and 2 times by Nyanjilla. They both have a totally different attitude though. BigDoug kicks people who disbehave but he's just over-sensitive in it. For instance, using the words "damn", "hell" or "Bush" can be enough to be kicked instantly by BigDoug. While nyanjilla just kicks people who he personally dislikes (or maybe totally random), without a reason at all.
Is that Nyan still misbehaving?
Anonymous: Nyanjilla is a she.

this dude just loves to boot people for absolutely no reason. Signed, Noquar seconded: usagi
It is kind of funny that the history shows that I was added to this list several months after I resigned as an admin. :) DrStraw

13. ckg
On June 20th, a new admin (CKG) gave xy0908 a 2 day ban. In the ensuing uproar 15 or more people joined the "bring back xy0908 room" and ckg to my knowledge didn't explain her actions at all. (nominated by usagi)
Mef: In ckg's defense: 1: It wasn't a 2 day ban, XY0908 was back on the server within an hour and a half of the incident, and 2: In general it's KGS policy to discuss a ban only with the person who was banned, as it doesn't involve anyone else. usagi Well it's easy to admit I was wrong, however thats what everyone seemed to be saying. I wasn't aware he was back so soon, I was up very late hoping he would come back and I guess I didnt see him :/
Mef:?! What kgs policy? I've never been in discussion with any admins that banned me. What bull! ~Cycleist
How can someone who is banned discuss something with an admin???
cycleist: I may have been the one (or the straw) that whose nomination actually got ckg her "job" as admin. My perception of her early on was that she was kind and reasonable. I have some hints that maybe now she has dove into the "Too Strict" area normally filled by Epiphany (= #!) and Nyanjilla...

couple of fellows and I were talking about something in the egr we talked for some minutes and then bolbi suddenly said move it to the ecr.We were talking bout that topic for quite some time before she told us to move it to the ecr.So it seems as if bolbi likes the egr quiet when she want's it to be quiet.She/He just feels like ending a conversation when he want's it to end,and in my vision an admin shouldn't do that.
15. harmony
Nominated by : daladim?
Juste une conversation (désolé mais je suis français) qui m'a plutôt meurtri, et pour moi, et pour l'admin humain à qui on oblige à faire ce genre de "travail".
Le contexte est simple, j'ai cherché à implanter un binz massif en salle française dans l'espoir d'y faire aboutir une révolution, suite à quoi, à chaque fois que je revenais sur kgs, je me faisais bannir pour la durée maximale.
voici la discussion, que j'ai eue en privé :
dalabafrex : bonsoir, je suis daladim, je ne m'en dissimule pas, j'ai juste une question tout à fait sérieuse, et timide d'ailleurs ^^, les banns à répétition qui pleuvent sur ma tête de manière justifiée sont censés s'arrêter à un moment ou pas ?
dalabafrex : ceci étant dit sans agression aucune
-pause-
dalabafrex : euh même pas uen petite réponse ? ^^ (sans vouloir vous imposer de dire quoi que ce soit)
Harmony : si on ne t'a pas dit que c'était pour une durée indéterminée, alors oui tu seras éventuellement autorisé à revenir
Harmony : mais pas aujourd'hui ...
-bann-
plus je le relis plus ça me perturbe, je ne parle plus aux joueurs, mais aux admins, qu'est ce qui vous oblige à faire ce genre de choses, assez cruelles quand même, consciemment ? Personnellement, si on me demandait d'éxécuter une telle tâche, ça me déprimerait pendant des jours entiers.
Remarques diverses
daladim? Toujours dans le contexte expliqué plus haut, j'étais entrain de jouer une partie blitz amicale tranquillement, j'avais prévenu mon adversaire que s'il me voyait partir c'est que j'étais banni du serveur, ce qui s'est produit vers la fin de la partie, sans prévenir ou même me laisser terminer. A la limite, puisque c'est ce qui est établi, pourquoi pas ? Mais comme raison je vis apparaitre "autoboot", ce qui faisait référence aux demandes cyniques de banen en chat privé aux admins ces derniers temps. Mais ce n'était pas le cas ici ... Pourquoi justifier un acte mécanique ? Et pourquoi le faire avec une raison fausse ? Pour se donner l'impression que la justice est de son côté ? Je ne dis pas qu'elle est du mien. Simplement qu'elle n'est du coté de personne.

Nominated by : spacesynth?
Assistant in Russian room. You saw policy about discussions in EGR? Well, you saw nothing. He single handedly and immediately suffocates any conversation regardless of it`s subject if it is even slightly not-go-related("what music do you listen while playing" - examle of what ppl were banned for) and has a habit of banning people who disagree with him even if they are perfectly polite in that disagreement.Also - never explains the reason for ban telling "I`m not obliged" which gives him perfect excuse to ban people just for disagreeing with him and explaining nothing. One of the worst overabusing and insufferable power-drunk moderators I have ever seen.
17. NoKnott
Nominated by : yuiop?
I was having an argument about stem cells one time. A legitimate reason for a kick or ban. So NoKnott kicked me. However, as soon as I got back, NoKnott banned me for disobeying Admin orders. This was after I had said about two sentences, neither of which broke any orders I had been given.
Javaness: That's nothing. Once I banned somebody for burning down a building. They weren't even logged into KGS at the time it burnt down.
mike111? lol, java always has a funny reason >_>
