This probably goes for my WTF of the month.
I develop (more used to, although I am still registered as one Uni and my laptop getting dusty have made it a nominal title) for a Space Station 13 server. In Decemberish, a person (not naming any names, since I believe they are here or have been, and knowing who it was isn't important for the wtf) joined the community, and appeared to be a regular member of the community. In around march, they applied for adminship, were denied on the grounds of having done some fairly questionable things in the past, raged a bit about it and disappeared. No more thought was put into them.
At this time, another new member arrived. They played a bit, and eventually applied for adminship and were accepted, despite being relatively new to the community (it was thought that we didn't have enough admins at the time, so a bit of leniency was given, although one admin was fairly strongly against it on the aforementioned grounds). They ended up being an alright admin, a bit on the strict side and making a few mistakes, but being generally helpful and trialing a few people for adminship, a couple of which were accepted into that status. In early June, their adminship was revoked (very questionably, but the consensus at the time was that it was the right decision). Three days later, we received word that they had apparently committed suicide. This in itself is fairly wtfy, since it's killing yourself over having your adminship revoked on an online RPG. (Not banned, just adminship revoked.) Not particularly related to the first paragraph, is it?
A week or so ago, we found out about a new server being started, with a few of our admins and a new person who nobody had ever heard of (outside of one admin), but who seemed to have a rather indepth knowledge of the community. The server's thing was basically being the same thing but without the current host, lead developer and IRC admin (three different people, not just one). Naturally, there ended up being a fair amount of drama. During the course of this drama, it was found out that the new person was actually the person who had apparently killed themself! And they were doing this to get back at the top administration, likely out of anger at having their adminship revoked. But wait, there's more! During the course of the investigation, it was also discovered that this person was also the first person, who had been denied adminship in the first place, and they were probably doing this to get back for being denied adminship in the first place!
And now they're claiming they're going to DDoS the server or something.
