[QUOTE=cpt.armadillo;37218166]Dis good?[/QUOTE]
heh, facepunch is better than ksp
and we are bigger
[QUOTE=wootmonster;37218703]Oh boy.
But one important question is: has he gone rogue or is he merely enforcing something which another mod put up and is therefore backed up by everyone else?[/QUOTE]
Do you remember when the minecraft forums mod started demanding that all new mods have a licence? It is basically like that with him editing others peoples posts to remove the word WTFPL (although my instances are still the same)

I think, judging by his voice and stuff from his videos, he's in his late teens or early twenties
We will NOT tolerate the disrespect of our forum moderators. Damion is following the wishes of Squad and you are blaming the WRONG person. Take this up directly with Squad.
Armadillo has earned a ban per the forum rules. Anyone else up for a ban? I've got all day.
working on a nicer and more vague callout mentioning personal mod action
Oh dear. It seems like DR needs a timeout. There is a reason why I never visit KSPF to discuss KSP or space. Where is Rayven?

Difference between disrepecting and and mentioning actions that seem counterintuitive

A moderator, any man in authority must tolerate criticism. If a man can not tolerate it, then power is not something said man should have. Simple as that.

Sorry skunky, but it isn't just this. I tried to call him out for him in general, utilizing recent evidence.

ty 4 this, adding to my thread
I am now complaining about him editing a post that was completely on topic only because it was the do what the fuck you want licence skunkmonkey. That is a valid thread and it needs to be explained. He could have done it in a more nice way but it is a issue that needs to be explained.

Having moderators censor a post with something related to the thread (In this case the [url=http://sam.zoy.org/wtfpl/]WTFPL Licence[/url]) is not acceptable. The above is the only recorded instance but it has also been removed from [url=http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/showthread.php/16814-Plug-In-s-and-Licenseing?p=234832&viewfull=1#post234832]this post[/url] and replaced with the CC licence (I do not know who edited this post but it was WTFPL earlier on).
I have commented about how it is a valid licence in that thread with sources from the Debian Mailing list (which quote someone from the Free Software Foundation).
Can we please have some clarification on what people with powers to edit other people's posts can and can not do so this does not happen again.[/quote]

For the record, most of us agreed that insulting him isn't the best course of action, and the first thread that was posted was already edited a lot to remove some of the anger present in the first draft. It's really tough to respect the guy with how he acts now. I get that he's trying to help the forum, but a lot of things, like editing posts that have facts he doesn't like, or locking threads where someone is bringing up a valid point about his actions, just seem immature (although we might be used to here on Facepunch where mods can't really do those things).
[quote]I'm not going to go as far as other users have gone. However, the fact that certain mods cannot handle strongly worded constructive critism in response to bad choices, and instead of remarking on the critism and attempting to change, instead harddel's the thread, goes to show that some mods don't really know what being a mod is.
Mods should never have moderator actions based on personal feelings. That is a conflict of interest between the forum's best interest, which mods are supposed to uphold, and instead being a personal vendetta. When mods signed up for this job, they knew they weren't going to be liked by everyone, and it seems like some of you are starting to forget that. When the line between personal vendetta and upholding forum interest begins to blur, the authority should no longer be held.

Bro, disrespect is not the same as criticism.
The way I see it, unless you can defend your position and explain how it is, you don't deserve any respect at all.
If DR is just doing what Squad wants him to, what's the problem with explaining that in the threads that were created, or just in the first, then there wouldn't have been a second thread?
It's not difficult to be open with people, and you definitely should be, especially when these people are customers that you provide a service to.

And ALSO especially when the whole problem to begin with starts with you not being open enough with people.
