GA removal?

Okay then, show us what she copied directly from any private conversations she had!

I mean, copying is an entirely different matter from summarising contents and/or providing screenshots of any conversation. But, surely with your intellect, you can exactly pinpoint in this thread where she breached this and directly quoted Piink for the sake of her argument.

And if you manage to do this, can you tell me where she told us no such permission was granted? Piink being disgruntled is not a true argument, as that's emotional response, not a legal one.

Half a mind of you being good ol' MikeG, but that's another matter entirely.

Troll are you really thinking that when you left a staff, dpa of any part happened in the past is off ?

And also without dpa, do you know what is violation of privacy ? If for example i send to you a email or pm, you cannot write in the board what i wrote to you.

Maybe you can don't know the rule, maybe a ga, yes

I'm not part of this community, because i don't play in .org .......... but I don't remember a rule about i cannot read and comment. And i'm around gameforge's staff from 14 years.

Excuse me for the disturb ......... i back in my anonymity

2005? It would likely be that I would remember you and I am surprised you would be taking this line.....

And I believe that there are laws protecting freedom of speech especially regarding public interest.....

She still has to respect the DPA after leaving the team too, it's in the DPA that she once signed

Yeah I’m not sure if what country your from but I’m fairly certain where I come from any contract from Germany wouldn’t be upheld here. So to “get ya” they would have to get you in a German court which is pretty much useless across international lines unless they decided to hire a lawyer in said country and then sue, which obviously isn’t realistic unless you have caused some sort of monitary damage.

Largenton - I agree, and Thank God here there are those laws protecting freedom of speech... it’s called the First Amendment #Murica!

i noticed earlier that Blankie was hoping for re instatement as a GA.

Sadly, this hardly ever happens in any workplace situation.

It's too much of a climb down from senior management.

The re-instated worker - having won a heroic battle against those at the top - would be almost impossible to control, and would also set precedents for others to rise up whenever an unpopular decision is handed down.

usually, the best they can expect from a wrongful dismissal is some financial compensation.

So, whether GF were right or wrong, re-instatement was highly unlikely.

I'm not siding with GF here. Just pointing out what tends to happen in these circumstances.

That community poll probably made everyone feel like they were helping, but it was pretty futile really.

I can’t believe I just liked a post from Baal and actually agreed with everything he said. Your right, the post was futile but sometimes it’s not about winning and just standing up for what’s right when you know your going to be cut down anyway.

As far as compensation goes, GameForge might give them a free years salary worth zero dollars!

Actually, the contract would still be applicable in the US, but it would be done in accordance to German law because that is where the servers are. However, concerning this case, I don't think Gameforge would want to pursue this case because admitting that they are working volunteers to do a job which is practically full time is very close to illegality and would be frowned upon under EU law. Not a business practice they want to have discussed I think.

How exactly do you figure the contract would be applicable in the US? By applying foreign law in a US court? Then the US Judge, who most likely has little to no knowledge of said law as well as little to no time to review it, has to preside over the case? The contract would only still be applicable in the US if you're referring to divulging information protected under the DPA. I think clittle is saying if the DPA is violated on this forum or in a Discord chat, fat chance Germany would do anything about it if we live in the US. Especially with Trump in office, lol, I can only imagine the tweets.

Lets make it clear, though, if anything was violated as far as the DPA goes...It was not brought to our attention, especially by piink. So, I don't know where the "Blankie violated the DPA" talk started, but if piink and the rest of the staff aren't worried about it, you don't need to be worried about it.

about 1/3rd of your comment is unreadable Marshmello

i hope they sort out the background on this forum soon.

If you select al the text in the reply it is easier to read, but agree the background is rather frustrating.

I hope Blankie and Master Yoda or coping OK in the aftermath of all this

As everyone voiced their opinion now, this thread is getting more and more off topic. Everything that needed to be said for the situation has been said, so don't open up new threads about this.
