Popular Post XeNo Posted January 15, 2016 Content Count: 6466 Joined: 07/22/08 Status: Offline Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) Hello everyone, For those who aren't aware, Peanut Daycare is a group of individuals who are comprised mostly of permanently banned players from SG. There are some people who are not banned that are part of both SG and Peanut, and up until this point we've been fine with people being part of both. There are plenty of members who are part of both groups that do not cause us any problems, and we are not wanting to group everyone affiliated with Peanut Daycare and say they are all bad apples because it isn't true. However, from now on if you are part of Peanut Daycare, or have affiliation with them in some way, and you are found breaking our rules or tip toeing around the lines of our rules, or endorsing Peanut Daycare, you may end up permanently banned from SG. We are having to take this harder stance because we (the higher up staff) are tired of having to deal with the antics from Peanut Daycare and their friends. In case people are not aware of what Peanut has been doing over the past few months, they include spamming new accounts that spam racism, making accounts with members real names, editing pictures to harass members, using alt accounts to play in our servers when they are permanently banned, and attempting to DoS attack us multiple times. They attempted to DoS attack our TeamSpeak last Saturday during the meeting, and several of them attempted to disrupt the meeting by joining it undercover. We at SG are tired of dealing with it, and therefore if you want to be part of Peanut Daycare as well as SG, that is fine by us so long as you follow our rules. To those who are part of both and continue to follow our rules, they have nothing to worry about. We're having to take a harsher stance on this since this group and people from it are constant issues with our community, and we have to look out for our members to ensure they are not subjected to the antics or attitudes the people from that group tend to attract. Thank you, -SG Staff 62 Edited January 15, 2016 by XeNo Link to comment

XeNo Posted January 19, 2016 Content Count: 6466 Joined: 07/22/08 Status: Offline Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) Since several people thought we were not taking this seriously, many of them have ended up getting permed since they decided to push the limits after reading this thread. Tsuna, Psyche, Pyro, Neptune lost their respective ranks due to their actions of trying to promote Peanut and try to bait a reaction out of us (AO+). In addition to a few of them being told in the past to stop fucking around and/or trolling in the community. We gave this punishment very across the board for everyone that was involved, these are the only ones that had ranks higher than Regular and thus the only ones really worth noting since no one else will see the difference. They were also banned from Teamspeak only, however all that aren't currently permed are unbanned at this point. Pyro and Neptune both responded to their Admin being taken away extremely negatively and ended up getting permed because of their actions afterwards. Nick (aka Capp'n) let Mudkip (a permed player) on his Admin account who then invited several Peanut Daycare people to the SG Admin group on steam and they started spamming racism. Extreme Potatoes was permed for this exact same thing, and this is the same ban we issued to Capp'n not only because he should have known better, but because it was his Admin account he gave Mudkip access to. 25 Edited January 19, 2016 by XeNo Link to comment
XeNo Posted January 19, 2016 Content Count: 6466 Joined: 07/22/08 Status: Offline Share Posted January 19, 2016 In response to the recent perms, Pyro and possibly other members of Peanut Crew have been spam joining TeamSpeak. In response to this we have increased the security level of our TS, it should only take you about 10-15 minutes to reach the necessary security level and it's a one-time deal. It's to discourage spam accounts being made when it takes them so long to get back in just to be banned in a matter of seconds again. In addition to this, all pictures on forums have been temporarily disabled due to an exploit which gives IPs of anyone who views the picture to the person who created the link. Pyro has used this to try and DoS attack certain higher ups, and therefore as a precaution we disabled all avenues on our forums that they might use to exploit this. We will try to get a reasonable fix to this soon, but given how late this all occurred, our TAs need sleep too and therefore might not get a effective fix until later. Obviously, in light of this information, please be aware of what links you click and make sure that they are from a site you trust/know. Also be aware that the url shortening site bitly or tinyurl is something to be cautious of if you do not trust the person sending the link. 21 Link to comment

Older posts and visitor messages being the best examples. These images cannot be updated as when they try to update it will reject it. 10 Link to comment
MyHobos Posted January 19, 2016 Content Count: 742 Joined: 09/28/15 Status: Offline Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) Out of curiosity, does our stance with members of Peanut Crew who haven't done anything stay the same or change (are there even Peanut Crew people left xD)? And what does this mean for the future? Like are we gonna continue as we do or are there gonna be serious changes? Do we go to war or something... And does this mean any long-term changes that affect members or is it a temporary thing? Thanks for hearing me out 3 Edited January 19, 2016 by MyHobos Link to comment

And does this mean any long-term changes that affect members or is it a temporary thing? Thanks for hearing me out Our stance is the same. The members of peanut that were banned were punished for a specific reason, though as XeNo said those that were involved in baiting and pushing the limits were demoted or stripped of rank. As of right now they won't be banned unless its required (if something else happens). The community isn't going to change into some sort of ultra-fascist jail or anything lol, but we just have to take the measures that we have in order to safeguard the community at large for the current moment. We will always make sure to keep everyone in the know in case any other action needs to be taken, so don't worry. And no we're not going to war 5 Link to comment
