I've never done this before so be sure to give your friendly neighborhood Llama-Man a call with the Report button whenever something smells!
oh BOY I ALWAYS WANTED NEW FRIENDS
SORA I HOPE YOU WILL BE MY FRIEND TOO. I WILL WRITE OFTEN.
I was just being an average person in the Cutstuff Community Chat on Skype when some people singled me out; a certain group of prideful people: this group included (but is not limited to) LlamaHombre, Kenkoru, Roc's Creation (Tesseractal/Ice-IX), Red (Red Eyes/Lag Man) and thatguy74.
Around the time you joined, I actually advocated those people to give you a fair chance. I didn't get "in" to this community on my own, so why would I expect anyone else to? You'll notice I was fine with letting you participate in my tournament (among other things) since I figured you would outgrow the "awkward new person phase" that others have gone through. It wasn't until your April incident that I decided you weren't going to change. I don't really believe in actively targeting people at this point; there are far more than I could handle if I wanted to "control" the community and I've already learned that. Of that group you listed, none of them like me any more except for one. (And me, I guess. I don't really count.) I rarely identify with any group here. If you want to pigeonhole others into a group like that, go ahead. I'll let them speak for themselves.
It's common sense that any sort of issue that may call for community moderation should be discussed with peers, not with preferential people such as friends. Then the question would be: can we trust Llama? Can the other moderators trust Llama to take decissions and use such power with extreme prejudice and conscious responsibility?
The answer to this question (although not obvious) is: No. We don't trust Llama. He's younger than us, he's part of a group of "prideful" people, you don't like him, and he attacked people in the past.
The real question you should ask is: Do we trust
Ivory? All of the previous moderators have been nothing more than feral dogs who run wild outside of Ivory's command. Do you forget how easily users were banned for forum games, or how users' IPs were posted on the forums? Why would this be any different, except now that
Ivory chose the mods? Ivory is the only person
I trust around here, so even if one of his picks is a little shaky, I expect him to hold them together.
then why is [brotoad] a mod
he does NOTHING RELEVANT TO BEING A MOD
He actually was a mod so that he could have a green name. brotoad was never interested in the job.
