1 week ago on August 21st, a would-be Paint member named pistolman had contacted me on Discord, asking what happened to his unverified account here on Paint that he had tried to make just the day before. Apparently, it was rejected.
Now, I'm pretty sure an Overlord—like HullBreach—could easily correct this issue simply by typing his username into the member bans page and hitting “unban”, just like I did for Dani1221 on my 1st day as Overlord before, after HullBreach had permabanned her for “targeting and harassing” me. (Not gonna get into all of that here though, this blog is about pistolman.)
Anyway, for reasons beyond my comprehension, this issue still hasn't been resolved yet. Now I know what you're thinking: “Why can't pistolman just make a new account? Well for starters, apparently his IP address has been banned from making a new account, and if that weren't bad enough, his username and E-mail address have been banned as well, which means I can't make him.one either.
Like most Paint members, he's just a teenager. He's only got 1 E-mail account (Gmail), and I almost made him a new one just so that I could make him a new Paint account, although he ultimately convinced me not to because he's still hoping that Hull will fix this.But Hull isn't fixing this.
IDK who the heck I'm supposed to be yelling at to get this issue resolved, but SOMEBODY FIX THIS DAMMIT!
When I was a Terminator, I'd instantly verify any accounts that have a different name from their username. @pistolman 's name is set to 'connor' which basically proves he's a real user.
As you can see, 4 Overlords (including @HullBreach himself), and 22 admins total. Now, how many of these people have logged in any time this month? That's a much more interesting question. (Why do we need so many admins if they literally don't do anything anyway? They need to be replaced.)
Fix your site please thank you. Half of the mod team sucks and half of it is good but either half online or never online.

Well, it would’ve been better had a ton of us not lost our powers.

I'm with you there. I mean, some of the other admins were clearly abusing their powers, but plenty of good admins--including yourself--who hadn't really done anything wrong were just demoted because @HullBreach happened to wake up in a bad mood that morning, and decided to take it out on (almost) all of the active admins here instead of keeping his cool and demoting only the troublemakers.
Nobody who was logging in regularly, doing their job(s) as an admin, and who was getting along well with the active userbase here should've lost a single admin power. Period.
