i think causing 8 mods to quit for being a terrible admin is worse than cheating and being modded. if TKN wasn't allowed to be a mod, i don't see why arcbell is. i get they aren't comparable, but the whole rehabilitation thing is bogus either way
everyone wanting jericho demodded doesn't mean anything because frankly there was no need for him to demodded after such a long time. he was fine as a mod and people (iirc including you) were trying to pin him down for lying about cheating because they wanted anything to shoot him down with. iirc jericho's cheating was taken into consideration when he was modded and calling for a 6-month? late do-over was honestly the most stupid 100-page long thread on this site

aesop never has any valid opinions
We should all refrain from this kind of posting especially since this was a cool discussion before that
i don't really care if he was rehabilitated or not. if i didn't think he was i'd have complained earlier. i don't think he should be a mod regardless and whatever reason they modded him for, they could have chosen a million other people.
i talked to arcbell semi-regularly. there was a period of time where he was clearly angry about what happened and once that time passed it was clear arcbell was feeling less cynical about the site as a whole. he stopped looking for toxicity within you and riotkiller and was able to relate to the goodness he saw in them, even if he disagreed with a lot of their actions and beliefs. arcbell is clearly someone who is more willing to forgive and sees good in people more easily than i can and that's why i think he's a good person. it's obvious he's smart as well, which is why i think that no matter what he did, there's no way a good guy like him can be a bad moderator because he's not going to frick up and he's not going to Turn Bad
jericho was rehabilitated, everyone wanted him demodded. anthony was rehabilitated, he was demodded. thekillernacho is a giant loser but was arguably rehabilitated, he was demodded.
Clearly it was to just get him through a temporary modding to avoid a big fuss from the people who would make a big deal out of it. They thought it would be less of a fuss to have him secret than to have him mod on his main account.
i don't really care about why. he either wanted to stay hidden because he didn't want people to know he was arcbell, or he wanted to play a joke. i think both options are self-righteous

I figured it was Arc instantly and got it confirmed by pretending I already knew.
Jasper was around before. He knows what happened. If you think Arc will screw up then you're essentially saying you think Jasper's judgement is bad. As of yet that's not been proven, so why assume it?
It's not the first time someone has been rehabilitated, nor will it be the last.
