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

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.
What cody should do is selfdelete and let me replace him.

ITT: We should let minors decide if they want their mod to be a pedo or not.

Keep it up and you might one day live up to the reputation of your "evil hacker" Arcbell.
lol
So I was right! You are a hardcore Arcbell fan. If you want I can go to the modchat and ask him if he'll take time out of his busy hacker day and speak with you.
IAmNotABCabout 10 years ago
I support you for that. ABC catching cheaters is really good thing to do.

Your icon is from Warrior Cats. Your opinion is invalid.
It's not Japanese so it's ok.

You also recognised it; thus invalidating your own opinion too.
Well.

You got me there.

oh? then i blame b......that...person....for false information (about watching CP)

but yes, lolicon could turn a person into a pedophile and pray on real little kids. lolicon = an attraction to most types of lolicon is a decided indication of pedophilia. that said, it's still entirely possible that a person would be attracted to that and NOT real children. if right now peptri is looking at drawings, it's possible (but not certain) that they tastes COULD evolve into something even less savory.

If you really don't want Ethereal remaining a moderator, look at their history of cheating, trolling, and abusing the site. That's a much better indicator of their unreliability than fearmongering.
someone's behavior as a user isn't necessarily an accurate representation of their potential as a moderator

look at all the mods who were former cheaters, trolls, abusers, etc.
They still should have asked when they found out. Cody not looking into it just made him and the entire mod team look like fools, given how it blew up.

To be fair, these are all things the public has complained about...

Is calling someone an invalid HC? I need to add some insults to my repertoire
