I guess Steiner is angry Ulti took over some board project, but I don't see what that has to do with blocking (which is still a site function?)

If you're angry about something and want others to be angry about something, at least make the something clear

Emeraldegg hosts NFL Pickem
Didn't let anyone he has blocked participate (read: Ulti)
Ulti and former host ZSig did not jive with this decision
ZSig took the contest back and gave it to Ulti so now anyone who has him ignored can't see it
Apparently Emerald was modded and the mod said you can't block people from participating in contests or something

This is the part where I don't see it.

For one, zsig didn't "take" it back. Emerald willingly gave it up. Then I am curious what exactly got moderated.

Beyond that, technically we can't really have "ownership" of anything we post on this board. If someone wants to just say "screw those guys" and host their own version of pick 'em or whatever there isn't anything stopping them. A peaceful mutiny isn't really a moddable offense. People typically don't step on others toes out of respect but if the board decides they want to support contest B over the original contest A then the mods shouldn't really give a shit.

Glad it doesn't, vehemently refusing to let someone participate in any degree (such as just letting someone else post picks on their behalf) is really petty

(And no, "Ulti deserves it" doesn't make it less petty)

I can give the context

Emerald got moderated for stating that he would not allow people on his block list to participate in Pick em.

So yes Emerald did give up hosting Pickem and from what I can tell he doesn't actually care. However it was off the back of him A. Being moderated for not allowing blocked people to participate and B. Being given grief for not letting Ulti participate and how he was running it.

1. Emerald hosting something, doesn't want to let Ulti in thing that he is hosting.

2. ZeroSignal chimes in offering to post Ulti's picks, says anyone regardless of prior history context should participate.

3. Emerald says that he truly meant he doesn't want Ulti in in any capacity, says ZeroSignal can run it again if he wants.

4. ZeroSignal says "I'll take it back, though I'll be giving it to someone else" and asks Emerald to close the topic.

5. The "someone else" is Ulti, literally the person this whole issue is about.

Even outside of the fact that you're having someone who is blocked/ignored by NUMEROUS people aside from Emerald hosting a thing, that was kinda fuckin dumb to do.

GFAQs is supposed to be an enjoyable experience for its users. If there's someone like an Ulti who consistently makes that experience worse, especially in something like a contest that takes a lot of effort to run, they're not entitled to my time or attention. Nothing juvenile about it. People get excluded from things in real life for being jackasses all the time.

Yeah that's the stupid part in all of this too.

Emerald hosting meant that 1 person could not participate. Ulti hosting likely means that multiple people can't participate unless they unblock Ulti.

Asking Emerald to accommodate Ulti was a reasonable request. Asking multiple people to unblock Ulti to participate is a lot less reasonable.

I do not have Ulti blocked but Ulti is blocked by so many people due to his own actions. So if anyone has to miss out on participating it should be him rather than anyone who doesn't want to unblock him.

It sounds to me like ZeroSignal posting Ultis picks was a reasonable compromise - nobody should be forced to unblock somebody yet also inheriting a topic series from someone else and totally excluding regular participants against the expressed wishes of the previous host does seem unfair. Letting ZeroSignal post Ultis picks would not exclude a past participant yet allow Emerald to not have to interact with Ulti, a win/win (from my outside perspective, I cannot speak for Emerald). However, getting modded for it is absolutely ridiculous, and ZeroSignal then giving it to Ulti knowing everything is beyond petty and much worse behaviour than what Emerald did.

In other words, doesnt sound like anybody covered themselves in glory here! I hope a reasonable agreement can be reached.

I don't understand the decision to not taking ZeroSignal's offered compromise at all.
I don't understand the decision to let Ulti post the topic instead of someone else, sounds like other's were interested.
I don't understand the decision to mod Emerald at all.

What a read.

Or you know, maybe have a host who isn't blocked by a ton of people on the board. At the very least he shouldn't be the one posting the topic.

I've already seen someone say on Discord they didn't even know there was a new topic because they have Ulti on ignore. They wouldn't have even known if not for it being discussed on there.
