Make this is a sticky, this is the thread where mods are held accountable for their actions like mortal citizens of earth (what a querky concept).
First up, tiassa;
Tiassa has finally stepped over the line and deleted counterarguments to his posts in a discussion.
http://www.sciforums.com/showthread.php?t=77794
I can't post direct links to the incidents obviously, because they are deleted. He completely deleted entire posts which argued against his perspective, and left his posts there, happily carrying on and acting like they simply haven't been challenged.
That should be that really, I mean, what could a mod concievably do which would be a more severe abuse of mod power and responsibility?
That's the one thing you fear a mod might do one day, because they theoretically have the power even though it's by no means part of their role as a mod, merely a potentially volatile byproduct of their entrusted powers.
You laugh off the notion after initial concerns, figuring no mod would be quite so petty and pathetic to use their mod powers to win arguments, hahaha...
Well, we can now confirm that at least one unfortunately is that mental.
And perhaps, just as gun laws are often revised after a massacre, we need to rethink the false sense of security we wallowed in while mods subjectively deleted and editted other peoples posts at leisure.
They are merely human beings, and sometimes some of them fly off their nut.
This served as a real wake up call for all of us.
While we're at it I think Asguard has run his course as bait for troublemakers, anyone who hasn't gone completely fucking nuts on this infuriatingly illiterate buffoon by now is a saint, and we can surely move on from this provocative social experiment where we hand a mentally unstable oaf the reins of a community, allow him to recklessly and haphazardly discipline normal people on the back of his faulty whims, and then see how the people react.
I guess it was kind of interesting, I feel sciforums passed with flying colours. Look at me, I just wisely avoided him, I knew I would absolutely fucking lose it if he tried to discipline me in any minor way, so I managed to evade his cock eyed glances and flailing crazy fingers with the grace of a leopard.
And lots of people went one better, falling victim to the insufferable imbecile and yet still managing to maintain a cool head, calmly requesting the problem be rectified in a soothing bland monotone.
I'm really proud of everyone.
It reminds me of the time a large preying mantis flew onto my hand and in a panic dug it's claws into my flesh, drawing blood, I could have went ballistic and mashed it's fragile body, but instead I calmly and delicately pried it's trembling claws out of my skin and gently placed it in a hedge.
It's time to pry asguard off his subforum, ever so gently, lest he flies into a rage that requires more force. They have super human strength you know, it's a little known fact.
So anyway, that's 2 mods, this could be a really productive thread.
