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

Tbh, i think its just honestly really lazy of cody to just mod some people who he thinks are working hard when theres a high chance they would snap and harm the site

Arcbell literally threatened to dox the site 2 months ago, like he has no capacity for change comeon lol

Especially when they're a known pedophile.

Leo, I hope you know that the things you send mods don't stay hidden when you tell them a lie about me. Why do you think Zayn is allowed to still have that on his profile? Right.

Stop being a child, and stop derailing this.

Sensationalism.

Don't join in on the revisionism Vancy, you've been around long enough to know most of the antics.

I was referring to this picture being painted of Cody, not Sammie. I know what you're speaking of very well.

Apologies, I fully agree with you then.

"I know you hate me, but there's no need to be extremely civil."

The "but" doesn't belong in your line of thought, unless that's a schizophrenic line of thinking.

Leo, you hate me. I couldn't care less about fighting you online and holding a grudge that would affect me emotionally, which is what happens when you carry baggage. You report me for camping you, you report me for harassment, you send false skype logs to moderators, you go to moderators to get them to talk to me because you're scared of me. Don't get it twisted, ole pal.

Please don't derail this. Also that false skype logs... what.

Anyway, Cody, are you going to apologize or just attempt to shove this under the rug?

User x maybe posted child pron 5+ years ago when they were probably an Internet grown 4chan adolescent

5 years later u guys label them a transexual pedo

last time petri had a mod account, he did a ton of reports and presumptively was being a good mod, then he had a mental breakdown and took down the forums for 2 days whilst simultaneously modding random people and posting anime loli

That's a better argument against than he posted child pron 5+ years ago.

Cody says

I believe that the motivations that she had then and the motivations that she has now are dramatically different and that there is no chance that, put in the same situations, she would do it again. Perhaps I am too willing to give people chances, but when someone shows me that no facet of her behavior points to a proclivity for harassing, provoking, or antagonizing other EM users, the logical conclusion for me is that she is not a threat.

I understand that I cannot possibly have the same perspective as the people who have had to deal with what she has done in the past. I know that she broke some bridges that will take a long time to repair, and some that she can probably never repair. But I don't think that she should be denied a chance at attempting to do so.

I don't want this to come off as a threat, it's certainly not my intention. This has happened so much in the past that to have one of your mod team use the excuse of it being "trolling" is laughable. I have no issues with how Petri identifies or acts, but there has never been an apology for such actions or even remote proof of redemption.

I'm not calling her a paedophile, or that she's impossible to change, but I am saying that this is far too irrational without any prior research. I don't want to see anyone else burnt by someone who can't apologize for their wrongdoings.

I understand your concern for me and I appreciate it. I believe that this is a good course of action going forward and I will speak to her about it.

JeffreyAaron says

You say Cody inadvertently excused Eth's past, yet then say that he knowingly modded a pedophile. I get you want to use big words and all but you are dragging yourself, mate.

He got new information suggesting that Cody did in fact know Ethereal was a pedophile beforehand.

This was not contradictory.
