moderators who don't take the job seriously are historically the best ones, while moderators who try to censor their mods by flexing their lucid-given authority are usually the worst

Vancy was a pile of hot crap as an admin. He was knowingly letting cheaters trophy

Sims says

vancy was the type of guy to flex his authority and say things like "I am telling you to do something. You are my subordinate." i say this because i have a quote of him saying that

This was because Slow was at a point where he made bad forum posts for a mod, after he had been told to tone it down. I agreed with Vancy when he said this. Slow wouldn't do it, so Vancy stepped in to show him what he could do. I honestly would still back him for it.

Vancy sounds like he'll get far in life.

i have plenty idea what i'm talking about, or i wouldn't be posting about it. bear made it clear how he operates: he didn't want to limit himself as a person or poster by being a moderator and instead of saying "okay, well i don't agree with that, i'm going to demod you because i don't think you fit as a moderator" and instead went behind the scenes and did, in YOUR words, "told other mods to act more professionally so he could demod bear for looking worse in comparison"

Bear was not treated like the other mods at the time. Vancy did not like him and he did not like Vancy.

That is not at all an excuse to call him a POS. I cannot even believe there are people who think so.

Back to yourself and play "find the contradiction"

Judging by his last post I really don't think he is

well, i've got to disagree with you there. vancy was constantly flexing his authority to slow and took his cheating investigations for granted.

vancy is definitely not a piece of ****, that's for sure. he's a lovely guy. but what bear went through shouldn't be downplayed in the slightest. he was treated like crap

If you can't refrain from being rude to people while in a position of power, you shouldn't be a mod. It's as simple as that.

Vancy was not a piece of **** in the slightest. Vancy never asked Slow for a lot, all he asked Slow to do was to stop being rude to people while he was a mod, because he wanted to keep everything professional looking at least. Slow just kept saying things like "I'll meet you half way" and never stopped his posting. Toward the end it wasn't that bad and I agree Vancy may have nit picked it, but definitely when he was first implementing it, it was a problem.

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Vancy is such a nice guy and I honestly can't believe you even think otherwise.

vancy is a nice person to people he likes, so it makes sense that people like him too, imho

i like vancy but he isn't a leader and shouldn't be in a leadership position

"to be fair" rutab, vancy was a piece of sh*t and none of us were going to talk about it any more because vancy is gone and it's not worth talking about. you can't accuse someone of having a problem with authority when that authority has it out for you. it doesn't work like that

To be fair, Vancy was never asking for a lot and Slow did have some trouble with authority while he was a mod.

Be nice. He's really got his life together.

slow was the detached husband and vancy would pound down a few shots of Birthday Cake flavored vodka and cry in jasper's shoulder

Sims says

i wish zovea was here to show you what a real bad person is like. zovea sucks

the fact that he's not here hopefully means he's stopped being such an f'd up loser

Were they romantically linked? That sounds like some lovey dovey issues.

vancy would threaten slow to stop posting on the forums and then cry to jasper when slow didn't listen. the vancy days were weird and uncomfortable
