Happy 1000 posts, Facediary!
By: Horses4Life Date: May 24, 2018, 1:01 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Hello, Facediary!
Congratulations on 1000 posts! Because of us hitting this
milestone, I have decided to go over flashbacks of the memories
we have made as a community, first off, let's go right to the
start of the Community.
Start of a Community
Facediary was created on wix.com, a simple and free website
host, thanks to the original owner: purplewolves, it took a few
weeks of advertisement to get the first few users on: Octopuppy
and Liquidatrous. Then a few days later, Bluestar2 and many
others joined. It was the start of a community, at first,
everything was simple and easy. Purplewolves hosted her first
staff applications and as they went live her and Octopuppy found
themselves deciding out of the maturity of users who they would
pick. The first staff to be appointed by this system was
Liqudatrous.
FPS
Later on, new staff were appointed: Bluestar2, and Sealdog,
Sealdog decided that it was time for acknowledgement to their
users, he announced that they were accepting Applications to be
a Front Page Suggester, where a user of Facediary would be
chosen to pick out blog posts and forum posts within their
requirements to be on the front page. A list of FPS’s inculds:
Sparklilly, Sealdog, and, Bumblebee. This system was however
deemed unsuccessful and deleted afew months later, Facediary
apologized to the future FPS’s
Facediary Headquarters
Once Facediary grew, purplewolves decided that her staff needed
to be paid for their contributions to Facediary, she released
new staff applications in a job section where you could apply
for a full paying job, where you would work at the Headquarters.
Semi-Moderators, Chat Moderators, and, Community Leaders
Bluestar2 having been given the rights to the website as the new
Owner decided that it was time that they needed user leadership
within the community, with the new Chat system that was
implemented, if you helped in the chat continually you would be
made a Moderator. They also decided that they needed a
Semi-Moderator rank where if you helped around Facediary and
engaged yourself in the community you could be given a
leadership role as a Semi-Moderator, if these users decided to
apply for a staff position one day they would have a increased
chance of becoming one. They also made a Community Leaders
system, which was like your normal house captain, Facediary
would hold an election every year for new CL’s and they would
choose four. All these systems were still a thing when the
website was deleted early in 2018. Here is a list of all the
users who were given this opportunity:
Liqudatrous, Sparklilly, Bumblebee, and a unknown user.
(Community Leaders for 2018)
Sparklilly and Bumblebee (Semi-Moderators)
Sparklilly and Fallenstardust (Chat Moderators)
The Administrators accounts being hacked
The Administrators accounts were hacked, including Bluestar2’s
where they all had to try and get them out of their accounts
whatever was in there and take a break which then many users
started helping around the community.
Rank Changes
Rank changes were made from the normal Moderator, Background
Engineer, Administrator, Team Leader, Developer, Helper, and
Global Moderator, to Artist, Moderator and Administrator this
also removed the system that the Moderators would be paid for
their contributions and it was a free uncharged volunteer
position. This brought in a team of new Artists:
Fang (Later to be the Owner)
Littlespark (Later a Moderator)
Seasonal (Later a Moderator)
Seaglimmer (Later a Administrator)
Orcasfangs (Later a Moderator)
A new wiki and forum
Sealdog decided it was time for a wiki, she created it but it
was inactive and taken down once again, and then Fang (A
Administrator at the time) made the current forum and everyone
moved to that, and when he was granted Owner rights, and decided
that the old website would be deleted since no one seemed to be
using it anymore.
Selecting staff
Only afew of the staff from the old website created an account
on the forum, so, Fang new he needed new staff, he appointed
Celestialaska and after awhile he noticed activity from a user
name Queen Luna (LunaLaomi) who made a application to be an
Artist and was accepted! She was a Artist for a short period of
time then skipped Moderator to Administrator, at this time the
staff who had created an account from the old website were:
Sealdog, Bluestar2, Fang, Seasonal, and, Seaglimmer.
JustADream
JustADream was a user who came from the old website to the new
forum, she was a close friend to Fang, and always helped the
community, when Facediary was needed a new staff member after
Seaglimmer retired permanently, Fang promoted her straight to a
administrator.
Staff Appreciation
Many new users to the forum decided to make Staff Appreciation
threads, to give the staff appreciation that they deserved here
are some of them:

HTML https://facediaryforum.createaforum.com/general-discussion/lets-show-gratidite-to-our-admins/<br
/>| Lets show gratidute to our admins! By TempestFan
There was also several users from the old website who
participated.
New Staff
There was several new staff appointed during the next few
months, Including:
❤️~AstarForever~❤️ (Current
Administrator)
Brook (Current Moderator)
Shadowella (Retired Moderator)
SimplyObsessed (Retired Background Developer)
StarbornDawn (Retired Moderator)
TempestFan (Current Administrator)
Facediary Memes
In a thread created by Fang, users could make memes releated to
Facediary, many users particpate in this, and there has been
many funny memes made:
HTML https://facediaryforum.createaforum.com/general-discussion/facediary-memes/
Community Counselors
Since the Staff team decided that all the leadership roles
should be taken away along with the move, they decided to add it
back thanks to a suggestion by Bluestar2 in a post on the
Private board for staff:
“Do you remember how we had the Community Leaders? Couldn't we
do that again? (I think that Community Counselors would be a
better name)
Community Counselors are not Staff, they have been candidates
for the permission before. They are expected to withhold the
rules and reinforce them at any cost. They will be the closet to
the staff and will always have the opportunity to say what they
want to say on the Staff's opinions and choices.
They have authority over the regular members of Facediary and
will spread news straight from the Staff and will be given a
extra chance if they decide to apply for helper position.
Now, I want to talk about the Staff. I think we have way to many
roles and way to many staff. We need to change some members of
the staff team to background roles. I do not agree we need the
old Admin, Artist and Moderator roles though I think all we need
are Leaders, Curators, and Junior Curators. But unfortunately,
we will have to remove some staff. My suggestions for that would
be our two Senior Moderators and JustADream, they are very
inactive and haven't helped in months.
I think that the staff need to step back from the community abit
more, If we go ahead with the idea of Counselors, They need to
be able to improve the community and not be drained of power
from the Staff. I think that we only need about 10 staff
members, since we came back the numbers have sky rocketed. That
leads me to my next rant. We have a small community, and I think
we are starting to forget that. A small community doesn't need
about 30 staff. Nothing really happens anymore i'm afraid.
Nothing has gone wrong. Also, Luna, I'm throwing you under the
bus but we need you to be alot more stricter then you are with
Staff Applications. We need quality.
SimplyObsessed, I feel like you are the correct person to have
the final choice on the Staff Applications - After all you lead
the team.
Back to the point of the Leader, Curator and Junior Curator
thing. Everyone will be assigned a role as their rank. You may
be a Leader and be assigned to being the IT person. like Simply
you would be a Leader but you would be assigned the team leader
job. Understand where I'm
heading?”
Which was implemented and purplewolves gave the permissions to
the Junior Curator at the time: AstarForever, who was given the
opportunity to lead the Community Counselors, The Community
Counselor election involved 3 Users, only one of which was
originally chosen: Brook, and then StarbornDawn,
FaithisintheWater, Jayfeather894 and many others were added on.
This is when they also decided to have houses and leadership
roles within them.
Inactive staff removal
At the same time as the Community Counselor system was
implemented, Astar was incharge of picking the most active staff
to stay as a Moderator, many of the staff were deleted after
this:
JustADream, Seasonal, Aquaila, Orcasfangs, Sealdog, Quantiscity,
and, Octopuppy.
The staff who continued their position were:
Fang - Leader
LunaLaomi - Leader
Bluestar2 - Leader
SimplyObsessed - Leader
TempestFan - Curator
Clestialaska - Curator
AstarForever - Curator
Shadowella - Junior Curator
Houses
Houses were then implemented about a month later, which had much
thought put in behind the scenes, the original idea was
AstarForever’s but StarbornDawn designed the system and names:
“At my school, we have an awesome house system that I think we
could implement into Facediary.
So, there is four houses (The names can be decided on later) and
what would happen, if they would all have one House Captian and
Deputy.
So, there will be two staff members in each house that oversee
the houses, though, it is user-lead. You will be put into one of
the four houses, and will be given the opportunity CC or just a
normal member to run in the House Captian election, you will
create a speech and one of the staff members from your house
will put the speeches from their house up in a house board,
which will have a poll. The staff members in your house will
decide out of the most popular choices who will be House Captian
and Deputy.
I think that there should be five boards, one for each house,
and a united one where all the actives will happen. Instead of
having a post count rank, they will have what house they're in.
You can only access your houses board.
There will be house points given out, and at the end of the week
you will be informed who won.
Names could include: Winterwater, Moonridge, Sealedge,
Summerwood”
An election took place shortly after for House Captains and
Deputies, at this time, only two houses were implemented:
Moonridge and Sealedge because there was not enough users to be
put in 4 houses, the users who were chosen were:
Sealedge
House Captain: Brook
Deputy: Fight for YOU
And in Moonridge
House Captain: StarbornDawn
Deputy: LunarGolden.
This system was quickly deleted because of inactivity.
A change in staff ranks
Fang and Astar decided the ranks Artist, Moderator and
Administrator were outdated and unnecessary, and they were
decided upon that they would be changed to Junior Curator,
Curator, and, Leader, which was later replaced with the current
system of, just Moderators thanks to a suggestion from
Jayfeather894 here:
HTML https://facediaryforum.createaforum.com/history/possible-new-staff-ranks/
Bluestar2’s account getting hacked
Bluestar2 was an admin at the time this happened, there was an
open report from a unbehaving user who will remain anonymous,
who was banned previously by AstarForever, on the moderator
comments on that particular report, Bluestar2 appears to be
using abusive and potential harmful language, AstarForever and
Bluestar2 get into a agrument where Bluestar uses hurtful
language to back herself up. I have recived permission from
Bluestar2 and Astar to show you this:
❤️~AstarForever~❤️: Who unmutted
them to start with? (March 03, 2018, 02:25:54 pm)
Bluestar2: I did, they deserved a second chance. (March 03,
2018, 02:31:33 pm)
❤️~AstarForever~❤️: Bluestar, you
know as well as any of us you have to have approval of everyone
in the team before taking actions like this. (March 03, 2018,
02:32:39 pm)
Bluestar2: Does it look like I care? I am a admin, I can do
whatever I like! (March 03, 2018, 02:33:35 pm)
❤️~AstarForever~❤️: Bluestar, I
don't want to give you a warning. You know that you must get
permission from fellow admins before unmutting or unbanning a
user. You may be a administrator - But we have our guidelines
to. (March 03, 2018, 02:35:28 pm)
Bluestar2: Shut up! I should have every right to do anything
that I have in my perms, you guideline freak! (March 03, 2018,
02:36:56 pm)
❤️~AstarForever~❤️: Maybe I am, but
you have no right to speak that way, especially as a admin. I'm
going to have to issue you a warning. I'm sorry. (March 03,
2018, 02:38:57 pm)
Developer Fang: Bluestar, I hope you have a reasonable
explanation because this behavior is unacceptable for a
Administrator. (March 03, 2018, 02:46:59 pm)
Bluestar2: Snitch! I don't care, you can't tell me what to do,
you Idiots and Guideline freaks. (March 03, 2018, 02:48:39 pm)
Developer Fang: Bluestar, this is your last chance before I will
issue a ban on your account, Your behavior is unacceptable, this
is not how admins act. Astar did a good thing informing me.
(March 03, 2018, 02:50:31 pm)
Bluestar2: Idoit! (March 03, 2018, 02:51:48 pm)
❤️~AstarForever~❤️: I'm sorry
Bluestar, I am going to issue a ban on your account, (March 03,
2018, 02:52:47 pm)
Developer Fang: Thank you Astar. (March 03, 2018, 02:55:15 pm)
Bluestar2’s account was then banned later on, and Astar posted
on the Private staff board this:
“So, if you don't know, earlier today Bluestar2 had to be banned
because of her random abusive behavior...
Isn't it abit suspicious? I know for a fact Bluestar would NEVER
do this, So, I had a chat with her on discord and this is the
conversation we had:
Me:
Hey Bluestar, we had a a little incident with you, (I gave her a
screen shot) Do you know about it?
Bluestar:
What? I would never do that! I am being 100% honest, I seriously
did not do that.
Me:
I can't trust your word just yet we need to undergo a serious
investigation before we can trust your word, even if it wasn't
you.
Bluestar:
I'm telling you now, it is a hacker. It has happened before to
me.
Me:
I understand, but I can't say I'm sure on anything yet, Sorry
Bluestar.
So, I have bait of investigation on who did this, I looked into
it more, Its strange that yesterday she was giving advice and
helping and all of a sudden she was acting so bitter. Seriously
that wouldn't happen? I want your ideas, TempestFan will be a
replacement for her for now.”
They came to conclusion that one of the previously banned
members had hacked into her account to get their account
unbanned and Bluestar2 was unbanned and given a 1 month
punishment before they could become a Admin again.
Fang’s Helpers and Semi-Moderators
After Houses were deleted permanently, Fang made a new group to
replace Community Counselors with that was called Fang’s Helpers
(Or Freqcently known as Fang’s little elves: which was started
by either FaithisintheWater or ★ LunarGolden ★ here:
HTML https://facediaryforum.createaforum.com/announcements/results-for-the-best-staff-of-the-year-poll!/<br
/>) and also board Moderators were now a thing where if you help
ed
Facediary alot, you could be invited to be a Semi-Moderator
which meant you were a Moderator on a specific board. Here is a
list of all the Semi-Moderators or as they were known then
Helpers:
Brook, Jayfeather894, and, LunarGolden.
The Helpers system has since been inactive. The original idea of
Helpers was by Jayfeather894 here:
HTML https://facediaryforum.createaforum.com/history/a-use-for-the-moderator-on-a-category/.<br
/>
Warriors Roleplay hits 10 pages!
A roleplay made by AstarForever about the popular series
Warriors, hits 10 pages which is to this day the longest/most
pages a thread/roleplay has ever got to, with more then 10
characters (15) from the users: Brook, LunarGolden, Fang,
AstarForever, Jayfeather894, StarbornDawn, Fading Star Light,
and, TempestFan which is still semi-active here:
HTML https://facediaryforum.createaforum.com/roleplay/warrior-cat-roleplay/<br
/>
A new way to pick staff
Thanks to a suggestion by LunarGolden here:
HTML https://facediaryforum.createaforum.com/history/new-way-to-appoint-new-staff/,<br
/>a new way to pick new Moderators was implemented, where if you
helped the community within the requirements consistiently and
continusly caught a Administrators eye, you could be invited to
be a Moderator, this system was quickly removed and changed to
an election.
Fang’s April fools prank
On April fools, Fang decided to create an announcement that
Facediary was going to be deleted and was acting very distraught
about it, Fang then gave a link to a video in the gallary that
he posted that was a troll song and said for them not to give it
away and play along, some users played along when others gave it
away:
HTML https://facediaryforum.createaforum.com/history/facediary-is-going-to-be-deleted/.<br
/>
Facediary Welcoming Committee
Thanks to a suggestion by Jayfeather894, the FWC (Facediary
Welcoming Committee) was created, a group of normal users and
Moderators that have a mission to make sure every new user to
Facediary gets a warm welcome to the community and to teach them
the basics, Facediary Welcoming Committee Helpers are invited
when they are needing new Members and they are asked to help
with Welcoming some newer users to the forum, if they are
successful they will become a Member of the Committee.
The Alpha version released!
The Alpha version of Facediary had been released! The
Administrators added many new features which you can see here:
HTML https://facediaryforum.createaforum.com/announcements/new-updates/<br
/>
A History board
Thanks to a suggestion by LunarGolden here:
HTML https://facediaryforum.createaforum.com/history/a-'history'-board/,<br
/>the history board has since been a part of Facediary where any
outdated or implemented/unimplemented or inactive threads will
be moved to for any users who are curious in the future which
all the newer Moderators are incharge of it.
A Forum games board
Thanks to a suggestion by LunarGolden here:
HTML https://facediaryforum.createaforum.com/suggestions/a-forum-games-board-,<br
/>the Forum games board has been added to Facediary where any
users are welcome to come and play some games! This has also
been named the best way to get posts.
The final Moderator Election that has been said for Several
years
Afew days ago, Jayfeather announced that the final Moderator
Election would take place this month which went back to the way
they chose Moderators where if you helped around the Community
you had a chance to be invited, the first moderators to be made
were:
☁ Dawnspark ☁ and ★ LunarGolden ★, they
are still looking for Moderators here:
HTML https://facediaryforum.createaforum.com/announcements/congratulations-to-our-new-moderators!/,<br
/>The new Moderators from the previous election were: Bluestar2
and Fading ★ Light!
☁ Dawnspark ☁’s Promise
Today, Dawnspark one of the newest members of the Staff team
decleared that Jayfeather should watch out, and she swore she
would do anything she could to beat her in posts, Jayfeather
took the challenge onboard and told her that they weren’t
playing soft and that she would make it hard for Dawnspark here:
HTML https://facediaryforum.createaforum.com/general-discussion/i'm-on-a-mission/.<br
/>
And that leads to today, our community has reached unimaginable
heights, because of you, the staff and I thank you to everyone
who has changed Facediarys future for the better, we would never
be here without you all!
Special Thanks to the users who helped me with finding all the
posts/threads and also all the users who were around at these
times who told me about them…
Jayfeather894 (Finding posts and threads.)
☁ Dawnspark ☁ (Finding posts and threads.)
Bluestar2 (Telling me about old times of Facediary)
Octopuppy (Telling me about old times of Facediary)
Purplewolves (Telling me about old times of Facediary)
Developer Fang (Telling me about old times of Facediary and
hidden details)
You guys were a massive help!
Thank you everyone!
