hi. this is a thread. it's hard to keep up with who's cheated so i'm making a list. i'll add a few names that come to mind but if you've cheated please post in this thread and i'll add you. you can also post the name of someone else who has cheated. i want to make this comprehensive so please don't hold anything back
I chose to avoid addressing this last night because I felt that the hostile mob mentality that I would have had to deal with would have drowned out logical reasoning from both sides of the argument.
Everyone is upset because you modded a pedophile.
First: I'm here to serve the community. I intend to make each important decision based on what I think is in the site and its community's best interests. There's clearly some dissonance between what I think the community needs and what a vocal minority of it thinks it needs, and I'm willing to address that.
Blister's petition was going wonderfully well, certainly not a vocal minority. I feel the topic was moved not because of the sensitive subject but the fact that the petition was doing so well.
Second: I believe that people can change and reform. What someone did half a decade ago as a teenager who thought she had anonymity online should not be held against her this far into the future, especially when her behavior in the last year shows that she has changed significantly for the better.
While fair, she still said what she did and she thought that the anonymity made it okay to talk about the things she was into. We have no idea if she still does that or not today.
Third: If you strongly oppose her being a moderator, then you should send her a message addressing your grievances. She has the capacity to step down if she believes that the community that she serves feels threatened by her, and you will have voiced your opinion in a much more civilized manner compared to what happened in this thread last night.
I've gone and PM'ed her myself but I doubt she'll listen to any of the PMs. We're getting you involved, asking you to take action, not her.
