Greetings, Fearless
As promised I am going to deliver an insightful look into why Spear was demoted from the rank of Administrator.
Over the last few weeks we have had several instances of leaking from within the team, which caused a lot of tension and suspicion throughout the staff. The leaking started to consist of promotion applicants being told the result earlier than intended. I had given the staff team a chance to confess to any leaks they had done however no one came forward. The couple days after, we received news that a user with unauthorised access had possessed screenshots of the Admin Office. This grew suspicions. After another few days, another staff member and myself were viewing the “Who’s Online” page and noticed some suspicious activity on Spear’s account (looking at fairly old promotion threads in the Admin Office archive, and the polls for these threads). Naturally, I noted down his IP address to see whether or not it would match his own.
A couple of days after, it was noticed that a few bans were missing on the ‘bans page’ and I confronted SoulRipper if he could check the log. I had confronted Spear about a missing ban as he was in a channel on Discord with one of the people. He had no knowledge of the player’s ban being deleted. However, once Soul had checked, it was confirmed that Spear’s account deleted the bans. Soul had a conversation with Spear who told him that his account had been hacked. SoulRipper then disabled his Administrator abilities for security reasons. On that same day I confronted Spear in regards to whether or not he had been viewing the forums at the time of viewing the old threads earlier and he later replied that he had not. I made sure to go into detail as to what was being looked at to make sure Spear understood. I then asked if he was on the Forums at that current moment of speaking to him, and he said that he was. I matched his IP with the one I collected beforehand, and they were exactly the same. Spear had in-fact lied about not being on the Forums that night, looking at the threads. Due to continued distrust, Soul and myself decided to demote Spear.
Once I had informed Spear of his demotion, he continued to deny the fact that he had been caught red-handed. He then became very hostile and began taking it incredibly personally, whilst insulting me including things such as: “Stop growing fat” “Get outside, work on your health.”. Whilst I can understand that being demoted from a position is not a nice feeling, I did not see the need for personal insults to be thrown.
After some time, Spear had contacted SoulRipper about the decision. From what I was told, Spear had confessed to SoulRipper about allowing unauthorised access to other users through TeamViewer. Spear states that he regrets what he did, however, he was given multiple chances to come forward with this information, and was even made aware that I was willing to be merciful.
The intention of this post was to inform the community of the series of events that occurred and the situation that was happening within the Staff Team. This post should not undermine Spear’s dedication towards Fearless and previous good work he has done.
Many thanks.
