My Biggest Fail of August

So yesterday on the Newgrounds Guide Chat, ilikeblamingcrap and I were messing with mod tools... seeing if we can ban other mods or give them time outs or kicks. We used time outs, but then the ban button was put into question. I decided to test it and banned NGReviewEater (which is my alt in UStream, but NOT my alt in Newgrounds). However, since the creator of the chat (me) and NGReviewEater shared the same IP, and UStream bans are IP-based, NGReviewEater dragged me to hell with him.

Which means I BANNED MYSELF FROM MY CHAT!!!!!

Normally I thought this wouldn't be a problem, but when I tried to log on I couldn't get in to the chat!!! Like WTF?????

So now the creator of the chat couldn't get in despite being the "administrator" of that chat... and he banned himself...

Now I had to use a lesser power, ilikeblamingcrap (moderator), to get my ass, the admin of the chat, unbanned. In Newgrounds that would be the complete opposite, but on UStream... just wow.

That is my fail of the month. Discuss.

Big fail indeed, you should have stopped at timing out.

Yeah I should.

Everything went wrong when I decided to mess with the ban.

Lol. that is a big fail. You could have used a proxy to get back in with an alt and save your sorry arse though, so not an ultimate fail which would have allowed mod takeover :P

But what would be the biggest fail ever, is if you did that but hadn't assigned any mods :O

The proxy was being a faggot to me. It didn't load the UStream page, nor the chat, so I couldn't use a proxy.

Actually, even if I didn't assign some mods, I can add some users to the permanent mod list to unban me.
