[QUOTE=garry;28346208]I really don't understand this. Like the forums are gonna fall part because there's 2 less moderators? Really? It makes no difference. Stop being so dramatic.[/QUOTE] Umm 5
[QUOTE=garry;28346179]Sorry, I'm not going to demod one of my mods without good proof that he's doing a bad job. People need to PM me evidence. If I see evidence that he's doing something wrong then I will demod him. Everything I've seen so far is debatable. If he was doing such a bad job it would be REALLY easy to show me the proof.[/QUOTE] While the evidence presented before you may be subjective, a democratic view is beneficial in this situation; sure, Benji is fulfilling his job description, but he's doing it in a way that leaves a trail of bans because of bans and general disdain. Rilez truly hit the nail on the head with his post earlier, and he made points that many of us agree with.
[QUOTE=garry;28346208]I really don't understand this. Like the forums are gonna fall part because there's 2 less moderators? Really? It makes no difference. Stop being so dramatic.[/QUOTE] I agree with you here. If we hadn't been dramatic we'd still have those two mods, and perhaps Hezzy too, nobody would have been perma'd for silly things, and we'd all be great.
[QUOTE=SHOH;28346186]To be brutally honest, If Garry does not change his mind/sort shit out, then there isn't really much we can do about it, at the end of the day it is his forums, and he can treat it how he wants. And no, I'm not saying whether the way he is treating it at the moment is good, I'm just saying that his word is the final word.[/QUOTE] And you said that the other dude wasn't contributing to the thread, you're just speaking the obvious. Of course isn't much we can do about it, it's his forum. That doesn't mean we have to like it, and that doesn't mean we can't question it

[QUOTE=Natrox;28346131]Garry, what do you think you achieve with this nonsense?[/QUOTE] He is giving you the option to post on his forum or not. If you don't like his decision on his forum then go somewhere else. No one is stopping you. Hell if you stop complaining maybe you can see that nothing is wrong and we can continue on post just as normal.
Garry why do you keep the forums running? What benefit are they to you? I presume server costs are much higher than any profit you make from ads and whatever.

If he was doing such a bad job it would be REALLY easy to show me the proof.[/QUOTE] Maybe he wasn't that bad of a mod in your opinion and that is completely fine. But it is undeniable that him being allowed to moderate is tearing this community apart. As others have said, this should be taken up with the other moderators and you.
Interview with Hezzy is about done now, I'm getting to work putting it into an organized post. Expect it within the next hour, should be less.
I bet all the outside observers are laughing at all this drama
This whole thing reminds of that scene in the Shawshank Redemption where Andy calls the warden obtuse, and the warden throws Andy in solitary for 2 months. :v:

And what's the point of a decision if it only makes things worse?
[QUOTE=Generic.Monk;28346234]So what was that with all the other mods you demodded?[/QUOTE] Sorry, let me re-phrase. I'm not going to let you demod one of my mods without good proof.
[QUOTE=garry;28346208]I really don't understand this. Like the forums are gonna fall part because there's 2 less moderators? Really? It makes no difference. Stop being so dramatic.[/QUOTE] To be honest its always been like this. There has been a constant cycle of mods over the year, and to be totally honest I have no problem with this change is good. But What I don't like is the permabans for little things.
[QUOTE=BANNED USER;28346254]How did you miss PacificV2?![/QUOTE] Last time I saw him, he still had mod-ship(??) when did he resign?:smith:
[QUOTE=garry;28346292]Sorry, let me re-phrase. I'm not going to let you demod one of my mods without good proof.[/QUOTE] With all due respect, Garry, this is hypocritical.
[QUOTE=garry;28346208]I really don't understand this. Like the forums are gonna fall part because there's 2 less moderators? Really? It makes no difference. Stop being so dramatic.[/QUOTE] They're not but the reason why people hate you so much now is because you demodded them for absolute shit reasons or no real reason at all. Why can't you just admit that it was pretty dumb and we would have had a great community manager back who [b]also[/b] contributed on getting your forum this far.
[QUOTE=garry;28346208]I really don't understand this. Like the forums are gonna fall part because there's 2 less moderators? Really? It makes no difference. Stop being so dramatic.[/QUOTE] No, but look at what a chaotic mess it's created in this thread and how it's affected people's opinion of you.
[QUOTE=The BoxDog;28346295]Last time I saw him, he still had mod-ship(??) when did he resign?:smith:[/QUOTE] Hello me and TH basically started this whole thing
[QUOTE=Natrox;28346286]The people I like are here, not elsewhere. And what's the point of a decision if it only makes things worse?[/QUOTE] Arguing about garry's decisions pertaining to Hezzy only caused more problems in the form of permabans and demoddings. No one here can say that garry is only to blame. It's everyone's combined idiocy that has caused this. Also, 'this' is inconsequential. Just move on with your lives.
[QUOTE=garry;28346292]Sorry, let me re-phrase. I'm not going to let you demod one of my mods without good proof.[/QUOTE] Would you not be willing to look at it if there was a majority opinion on the mod in question by the other mods? ie. Over 50% (or most) of the mods agree that they do not deserve the position? If so, this could be arranged.
[QUOTE=Natrox;28346286]The people I like are here, not elsewhere. And what's the point of a decision if it only makes things worse?[/QUOTE] Then if you want to stay then stay. Conform to the changes (which really are not that bad).
[QUOTE=garry;28346292]Sorry, let me re-phrase. I'm not going to let you demod one of my mods without good proof.[/QUOTE] While that may be morally reprehensible (not to mention a little unfair) at least it's the truth.
[QUOTE=PacificV2;28346311]Hello me and TH basically started this whole thing[/QUOTE] Last time I heard was that you were just thinking about it.
[QUOTE=O'10er;28346252]And you said that the other dude wasn't contributing to the thread, you're just speaking the obvious. Of course isn't much we can do about it, it's his forum. That doesn't mean we have to like it, and that doesn't mean we can't question it[/QUOTE] I never said we had to like it or not question it, all I'm saying is that all these posts involving drama aren't really going to make a difference. The only way we could try to make a difference is if we get some decent points across that he accepts as decent and truthful points. At the moment is he disagreeing with most of these points.
[QUOTE=nerdygamer;28346331]Then if you want to stay then stay. Conform to the changes (which really are not that bad).[/QUOTE] All these changes were very unnecessary.
It doesn't matter whether you understand it or not, Garry. An objective resolution must be found quickly, as this is quickly escalating into something that could end horribly.
