Question RE: Ethereal

Giga13about 10 years ago

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

Himiko - that link didnt work or u can just summarize it for me
Okay, I will.

Basically, child abuse reports are rising in Japan with child cases also rising. They have no national law preventing sexual depictions of minors in cartoons, etc.

Ends with, "While the NPA continued to maintain that no link was established between these animated images and child victimization, other experts suggested children are harmed by a culture that appears to accept child sexual abuse."

Going by the dinosaurs with two digit userID's you get to choose between being a rampant misogynist or a doctor of programming

I still remember when Riot dated Kassa. I bet Cody doesn't know that.

TL;DR: there is a big difference between someone who is attracted to children sexually (or other things like animals or certain sexual practices like bondage) and someone who acts upon their addiction/attraction
I personally agree with you, but this definitely should have been looked into more. The community should have been asked, given it has minors in it, if a pedophile should have been promoted.
Nah, it's not that black and white. That's like saying someone who plays violent video games, or watches murder flicks will become closer to being violent.
ok but it's the drawings of little anime girls, not dead ppl

We've got people who have faked their own death, threatened suicide, broken the sites code, wildly harassed people on another lobby ( does anyone else remember Dangan Mafia bc hoooo boy ), and got an interview with The Guardian.

Pedophilia isn't even that surprising anymore.
Sure does make the rest of us underachievers in comparison!

yes, that'd be a great idea but since we're talking about petri, we should ask EM community if they are a pedophile and make a decision whether they should be on the team or not
once again blister made a complaint thread and over 50 ppl signed a petition to demod them

it was moved to mod forums
