Half of those voting options are a joke.

Hopefully not me =/

Especially you. This poll is a joke even if it doesnt change anything.
All jerkers should be left out.

The reason why Mr. Psychologist and LC are getting the most votes is because they've consistently displayed good ethics and character not because of circle jerking.

I know.

Well.... GOOD! c:

Whereas users like Vien, who, while funny, posts as a roleplay (You don't want staff members posting nearly naked elites as "their thing"), Nasty, who himself said isn't mod or monitor material.
And Death, who I talked about on the first page of the thread.

But yes, most of those options aren't from a circlejerk.
Although Cheat shouldn't really take polls into account where mods are involved.
Look at Kiyo, whether she has antagonised people or not, she's done a good job of being a mod, yet she has less votes than Nasty.

The community itself isn't a good judge on character for the most part.

Nothing personal against you, because you hopefully know that I do not hate you or hold grudges against anyone. You should not be a mod though, neither should Korra, or half of the people on that list. This is once again, not a popularity contest. Mr. Psychologist and Commissar are in the lead for a reason. Slash is a mod because of a previous popularity contest.

Well then what makes a good mod? Face it, Psych and Commisar are both very well liked. I'm not denying their ability but you have to admit they're apart of a popularity contest as well.

Eh I would say that the community does have a right to say who their mods are. I don't believe in that theory that mods are supposed to be hated. Look at b.net the majority of the mods who are active i.e. bobcast, Duardo, Recon, and Slayer are generally liked by the majority of the community. Cheat like any site owner wants to keep his community happy and is trying to do so with this poll.

I see what you're trying to say, but I never said mods should be anything but good at moderation.
Actually, I didn't even say that.

I said what you don't want for mods.

Apart from Kiyo getting bashed, all I've seen is pointing towards you (current mods) being cool guys that do a good job.
So Cheat is doing a good job.
He just needs to make sure he plays with his head, over his heart here. Or bad things will happen.

Why? Kiyo wouldn't be a mod if we didn't have the first poll.

Neither would Slash. I fail to see your point. When the site is first starting, it makes sense to go that route. Months later though, Cheat has a better idea of what most of the frequent users are like and can judge who would be best to fill those positions. That is why I am glad he is not only going by what the community says.

You're putting words into my mouth. The community should have some say.

Oh well I voted for Flee, Zizzy, and Icy btw

Woo, stickin up for the little guys.

Well its pretty useless to vote for the current Ninjas and I try to be unbiased in my votes and not play favorites. I've heard you voice your distaste for my moderating on a few occasions and always got the vibe that maybe you don't really like me but you're a good unbiased member and deserved that vote. I wouldn't mind seeing you as a Ninja later on.

I don't dislike you, I just don't really hold back when someone does something I disagree with. I do it with everyone here, it doesn't mean I don't like you or have any negative feeling towards you at all.

Quote from: Officer Nasty on October 06, 2014, 04:44:11 PM

Wait, so going by the results of the poll, I'm regarded on the same level as Kiyo?

Not sure if I should take that as a compliment or an insult 

Yeah good to see you made 10 alts, fgt.

oi m8 i dont even have 1 alt

Slash has banned me twice and warned me once. He's very good at his job as a mod and people voted for him because of that. It's not a circlejerk; I'm sorry that nobody likes your friend being a mod but she is getting called out for a reason. It's why DeeJ gets called out: Because he's incompetent at his DUTIES, not himself or personality. Same with Kiyo as she can be a good member but that doesn't mean she's fit for the duty of being a mod

Please don't twist the facts, you know next to nothing about the moderation log.

And I was also not the only mod calling people out, yet you ignore that fact because the other mods happen to be "friends" of yours.

I've stayed pretty quite about this and every other time you assholes have attacked me, I put up with more shit than any other staff member on this site simply because I am not liked, just because most of you don't like me does not mean I am unfit to be a mod, I have moderated this forum fairly without bias and apart from that single incident in Anarchy I have not held my powers over any other member of this site, if people only wanted their friends to become mods instead of people who are qualified this place would become worse than saphire.

Every time I have tried to defend myself or calmly explain my side of things you all brush it aside (like you Icy who berated me unfairly then told me to "take it up with Cheat" when I explained my side of things).

I should not have to stand here and be held to a double standard than the rest of the other Mods on the fourm, just because you have a personal dislike for me.

You view both DeeJ and Kiyo from the same perspective. Which I believe it is wrong. You can't judge DeeJ's job from the perspective of a fan, but neither you can judge the work of a moderator from solely relying on the perspective of any user.

Which sadly, was a huge breach of trust between the established consensus of the staff and the rest of the community. Yet, you do realize your mistake, so I do not think it's warranted to further harass you about something that's already been covered to death.

Others maybe do not. Such huge breaches of trust are taken differently by different people with different walks of life and views. That does not however, work as a justification for some of the behavior that's been going on with people branding sides and simply throwing oil in the fire.

Again I was not the only one who breached that trust (not that I am excusing my mistake, I admitted it was a terrible fuck up on my part). The issue was put to bed, Cheat removed our IP viewing powers for Anarchy and warned us.

And without revealing too much about what Mods can do, we have held far more personal information than just whos account is behind what anon, not a single one of us has exploited or relieved any ones personal information. So I can assure you that we've been a lot more trustworthy than this incident is making me look.
