Question RE: Ethereal

over 8 years

The question posed in this thread is not necessarily one of the moderation team, the site owner lucidrains/Phillip Wang, or other moderators/admins on the moderation team of this website.

People are calling for Ethereal's head because they were recently promoted from role moderator to moderator. The people calling for Ethereal to be demodded are generally viewing and accusing Ethereal as a predator.

My question is, if you guys care so much about Ethereal being a potential predator, should you not be arguing that Ethereal should be site banned? (Personally, I don't think Ethereal should be site banned. She has done her time for being banned and is currently a very big help for the moderators and cheating investigation team, in my opinion.) Your argument seems to not want to rid the website of possible predators, but to just make sure they don't become moderators. It doesn't really make much sense to me.

And even if Ethereal is demodded, guess what? She's still going to help with Cheating cases and finding banned users... nothing is going to change (except that she won't be able to do reports). Is that really going to be a sigh of relief for all of you?

So if Ethereal is demodded, what difference is it to you people if she's still allowed to be on the website...?

EDIT:

I am in favour of demodding Ethereal to please the community fwiw (I was before I even made this thread), but if we do that I don't really get why they are even allowed to be on the site anyways. I'm seeing these arguments I just don't agree with them; potential is potential at the end of the day, and I believe Ethereal should be allowed to stay on the site

[6/1/16, 10:00:49 AM] Jeff: Die in a fire.
[6/1/16, 10:00:59 AM] Leo: Please, be my friend!!!!

If you want to report moderator misconduct, it will be reviewed.

But I don't think the Skype logs in the original pastebin are enough to label them as a direct danger to the site.

One important aspect of this vision is that mods are not seen as "enemies of fun."

Nah. Leo and Jeff ended. Leo got called out for faking logs and 3 mods all confirmed it. So that's that.

Next up: Why Leo felt the need to throw Mori under the bus behind closed doors to Ian because he still wanted to be friends with Mori, but still wanted her dragged. Because, ya know, that's what friends are for!

Hope you and johnreid made up, still rooting for you guys!

Cody why do you even want to take that risk, are you willing to take all responsibility for whatever ethereal may do if you are wrong about their intentions?

Because if you are kudo to you, i wouldn't want that blood on my hands. same goes for arcbell tbh let's not lose sight of the fact that arcbell was also an awful choice.

I made the mistake of not considering the community's reaction to the people that I appointed, but I believe that the reasoning that I used to arrive at the decision at the time was solid and justifiable. It's somewhere in the 100+ page thread, but the main points are that they had both demonstrated the qualities that I want moderators working under me to have, a short list of which include: having time to dedicate, ability to make reasonable verdicts on reports (competence), teamwork, and a commitment to a vision of where I want the site to go.

One important aspect of this vision is that mods are not seen as "enemies of fun." I want to break down the "mods vs users" mentality that's been around on this site ever since I joined. There's a few concrete ideas I have as far as realizing this vision; I'll save posting them for another time.

i think we're all on the same page that ethereal did in fact lie and their pedophilia was not them trolling

and with that my work here is done, i don't care who mods the site even if it's petri, who wants to play battlesnakes

Jeff, for the love of god, stop derailing this. I have no idea what you're talking about, and I don't want to know anyway.

Cody. Are you going to apologize?

Leo, I think the child here was you when you sent 3 different mods fake logs of me saying I was going to "kill you". P.S: Your error was that all the logs had different timestamps and different wording because you didn't think through your lie enough. Bye!!!
