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

ITS ONLY GONNA GET WORSE FROM HERE.
Damn. And it had been improving so much in recent years!
Nothing improved as long as there are not an admin who does not change for a longer time than 3-4-5 months.

WE NEED SOMEONE TO STAY WITH YEARS.

Hats off man, you managed to turn paedophillia, user harrasment off site and cheating into 4 years of trolling. I'd vote for you in the next election.

I just think it's funnier that there are mods from around that time, one older than me, who seems to think Petri was a troll for that whole stint.

Like come out and apologize, but believing it was 4 years of trolling is probably the best joke of them all.

Oh SHUT THE FK UP ALREADY.

This aing gonna be fixed. THIS TRASH is adding more and more ROLE MODS to the team. ITS ONLY GONNA GET WORSE FROM HERE.

I know the forum wipe removed a lot of history but man the revisionism in here is amazing.
It's EM, what do you expect?
Yo you should check out the other Bearguru thread.

Like no one is giving grief about Petri's orientation (or whatever the correct term is, I'm horrible with this stuff), so don't try and turn it into that. You don't see me pulling antics based on myself.

listen i understand both sides of this, but honestly, i care more about someone who's willing to make the community a smarter and better place by removing toxic, annoying, and trash players. that's just me
as i said in the other thread, i refuse to believe that there were no better (or perhaps, safer) options for doing said job than sammie and arcbell
ethereal isn't a bad choice at all, arcbell is.
you can apply the "safer choice" to ethereal then, because even if she's good clearly it caused quite a stir that could've been avoided with other people being chosen
i understand

I've applied to be a mod 3x over different admins in this past year but nobody knows me because I don't circlejerk competitive.............

There can be those people and they don't have to be pedophiles, cheaters, and hackers.
you're no better than these cheaters and pedophiles, don't get ahead of yourself
