I will admit to a little bit of immaturity and whatnot. I have to own up to my actions. I however did not do 2 things.
1. I did not encourage with words the caboose fiasco. I initially condoned it as a bad idea, however, the entire mass of regulars wanted to do it, and were pretty much unstoppable. I joined in, but realized roughly a minute in that it was a terrible idea. I was thinking about just killing myself when someone made the kos caboose joke and I said no don't do that. Nobody did, except for the real caboose. He blatantly rdmed me and lone mudkips.
2. I did not abuse the admin powers given to me. I used the admin chat for personal use, if that is abusing, I understand that much.
I also did not break any rules except for the name similarity rule, but everyone was identifiable by numbers anyways, but that really isn't a valid excuse anyways.
Was I unprofessional? Yes. Was I immature? Yes. But did I abuse? No.
To sum it up, there was a massive amount of regulars on, and we were just having fun.
"Just name yourself caboose with different numbers" is not encouraging? Watch the demo, you say that.

Being fun and nice is one thing; but being immature and unruly is another. If an admin thinks to them self that maybe they shouldn't being doing this.. don't!
Regardless of whether or not abuse/trolling took place; this just looks poor on everyone's behalf. Admins should be discouraging this kind of behavior and maintain a respectable authority, if not the trolls will join in and have a field day when you try to ban them and try to justify your stupid antics against theirs. As vet's you should know better and if you can't take your responsibilities serious you can play as a regular player and be as stupid as you want at any time.

Well said Pillz.
I agree with Pillz so much I should make an entire topic about it....oh wait I did:

For me posting the porn link, I'm honestly dissapointed in myself for doing it. It wasn't the right thing to do and I wasn't thinking straight at the time since it was late at night and everyone was loopy. For that, I apologize.
As an admin, you mess up sooner or later, and I guess this is where I messed up. I really don't know why I was acting like that. I'm usually more calm and people think of me as a pretty good admin as I always take care of problems.
I love to admin the TTT server, but nobody doesn't screw up at times.

Blazyd, after thinking about it and talking to some people I'll reconsider your removal. You are suspended for 1 week. You have have your admin back at 1:00pm EST next Sunday (1/20/13)

I think we can all agree that everybody is human, but better judgment is warranted in a situation such as this.

These guys never cause any sort of problems as administrators. Yeah, they goofed here, and we can all easily agree, but CG has purportedly been about turning the cheek and forgiving everyone for some sort of transgression once. I mean hell, I'm here, so is Rebelemaster. Do I think these guys should have their admin removed? No, but a suspension so they can mellow on what they did? Yeah.
Edit:
I also think its a bit ridiculous that we have admins whom have been yelled at multiple times, and are known for their abuse, and still have admin, and these guys mess up once and are completely stripped of it.

Oobla and Linkster have always been a role model for how an admin should act on CG, and yes, there behavior was unacceptable, and yes, they did break some rules.
However, I hope the same forgiveness given to Blazyd can be given to them.

Perhaps since players get week bans, a week without admin then let them back on a trial basis? I don't really know the situation as I didn't watch the demo, but I've heard people talk about admins getting away with this sort of thing before.

Stop locking threads so fast, give people time to reply. And don't lock an abuse thread that are less then A DAY old. Give it at least a week.
It is unprofessional and makes people want to leave or make more threads.

Linkster has been removed from admin once before, not really a role model.
The reason they were removed from admin is I warned all admins two weeks ago that if they acted unprofessional on the server or did nothing to stop people from breaking the rules.
Both players broke the rules and did nothing to people who were. They had their warning and ignored it.

Remove Caboose then who has done this multiple times and doesn't get involved unless it involves himself.
