New page

The Samwell Incident refers to the auctioning of a CP Sysop account:[[Samwell]].

==The auction.==
As there is no record of such an auction on [[RationalWiki]] or on the forum this (shameful?) act must have taken place in the [[cabal]].

A subsequent post on [[WIGO]] stated:

*A day that will live in infamy, as "Samwell," whom Andy had generously given blocking privileges, turns out to be a RationalWiki user and blocks nearly all administrators (!). The account was "auctioned off" to the highest bidder in the first RationalWiki fundraising auction. The winning bid - $10π.

Based on a comment on his talk page it seems as though the sock was originally fed and watered by [[Cracker]] although it is not clear who pulled the trigger.

==Consequences==
The auction provoked [[Headless Chicken Mode]] level two or three and led to the departure of [[Jazzman831]].

[[AmesG]] has subsequently claimed that RationalWiki has apologized for the incident, but it is not clear where this apology can be found.
