Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

Re: Emalton abusing his power, being a hypocrite

I did pay the 50 gem name change fee in addition before doing this I stated that I am completely willing and happy to give the name back if he even returns.
In addition, he can set a new username for free. I don't get why people are upset as this has happened many times for normal users. I didn't even delete the account, which is what the previous administrations did in the past.

EDIT:
Why are we comparing exploitation of the energy system to a harmless username change?

Re: Emalton abusing his power, being a hypocrite

Oh wow. Jawapa calling Emalton on "abuse"... Beautiful.

Hey Jawapa. Do I need to remember you that you were the one that was selling gems in the black market? And that explicitely revealed it being true later on, in a forum post when EE "was" dying, after consecutive attempts at saying you were innocent? Do I also need to remind you, that you were the one that made your energy regeneration faster for free?
(Skeptical?)

You should look at yourself before making such a pathetic post. A username change means nothing, it literally is just an username change, and as said before, he got a gem fee on it, and he asked Megalamb himself.

You are making drama out of nothing. The fact that jawapa failed in the past neither changes the subject of the discussion nor it's main point. We are discussing the Emalton's potential failure. The poster's origin shouldn't matter here.

My personal opinion is that ee is totally broken down. There is no point even in discussing something as simple as this, because current ee is trash. It's the same thing as complaining about somebody throwing plastic into organic waste.

Re: Emalton abusing his power, being a hypocrite

The decision for the name change was not taken as lightly as EmalJohn has made out here. I investigated John's account in full. I was concerned he had Beta, but he only had 3 worlds, and totaled around 12 hours play time. He last logged in in 2013 and was not a popular or well-known player. He simply turned up early enough to claim the name John before anyone else (which I found amazing because he signed up in 2012). I decided it was appropriate in this case for someone to get better use out of it, and at least EmalJohn's name is actually John. If it weren't, I wouldn't have allowed it.

In terms of other people wanting to change their usernames to existing account names, as long as the 50 gem name-change fee is paid, and, as long as the account has been dormant since the Benjaminsen era of EE, and it isn't a well-established named account (such as KingOfTheOzone as someone wanted me to change their name to today), I do not see a problem with doing that.

the real issue is that someone with bad enough taste to want "John" as their username is allowed to be an admin

I feel like Emalton was a better name tbh, though John is his real name and he didn't select it, and I understand him wanting his name as the real name (but seriously, emalton was way better)

Like really. That is all the matters. People are blowing this way out of proportion because John is a mod, but it didn't even if he was or wasn't matter. I'm really more concerned that a rose, a processor, a shoe, and now a toilet are on the list of the mods EE has had.

Let's be real, the real John is never going to play EE again. I don't give a flying **** that he changed his username. That's not the problem.


LukeM wrote:

Well that is a lot worse than just changing a name...

Also you could argue that a different name doesn't benefit you in any way, so if Emalton meant benefit as in 'give an advantage' then it wasn't hypocritical at all

The energy thing wasn't an advantage.
What is an advantage is being able to modify the database to take over a username that's otherwise unavailable.

Wasn't an exploit. Was a feature. A feature, that to my knowledge, was implemented by NVD.

Actually, I didn't. Someone else edited my energy regeneration. Also, was an admin at the time (iirc). Also, also, get everything for free anyways. So...

Yes being able to modify the database is more of an advantage than effectively unlimited energy, but that's not what you were saying. You said Emalton is being hypocritical because they edited the database for their own advantage, so the advantage in question is the name change, not the means to do it.

Also, I completely agree that as staff it would be fine to have unlimited energy, just as its fine to have access to the database, so you can test things out, but once you are no longer staff, there is no reason to have it anymore other than for your own benefit

Re: Emalton abusing his power, being a hypocrite

Neither Jawapa’s nor Emalton’s hypocrisy is relevant. Stop using it because it’s not an argument.

This is an abuse of power only if there isn’t a mod’s post somewhere saying that usernames of dead accounts may be requested. If there is, then it’s an unknown feature and you can’t demod someone for using it.

But if it wasn’t stated that players can do this, grab a pitchfork because:
