    If she has the support of the administration here on Sci, what's the point of this thread?
    Shut this thread, ban wellcooked for his insolence and rule Sci like the dictatorship it is.

    I was being serious. I like the dictatorship on Sci.

    What the hell are you trying to say? Run your stuff through a grammar check if need be.

    "You can be the sacrifice for our forum god." I, too, once questioned WellCooked about
    his misuse of a word, but I didn't realize he was not a native English speaker at the
    time. A delayed apology for that, WellCooked.

    I although I don't agree with some of Xev's views, I see most of her sentiments that people tend to complain about as being a netiquette character of her creation.

    The entire reason why she problem says things that some of you lot dislike is down to the number of males on the internet that think its a ground for trying to get porn from.

    Her harsh attitude is probably just to get you dogs to lay down. WOOF! WOOF!

    Although Xev is a self confessed Racist, I don't exactly see her spreading website addresses of the new dawn of the third Reicht, or perpetuating the downfall of one race over the superiority of another.
     
  12. Are we asking weather we like her or if we think that she should be allowed to do her job until she is proven to be doing poorly at it? Leave the kid alone until she does something to some ones post which is unwarranted. We all have unpopular opinions on some issues. You should not punish some one for bad thoughts.

    I think Xev is ok. Don´t know why you dislike her so much. Ah, but most of you have been here longer than me, perhaps you are right.

    But for now, Xev has my support.

    Although I consider Xev to be a complete self centered bitch who's only success in life was to rant and complain about the smallest shit in the world, I think she should stay, I mean comeon, its not her fault Menopause started right?

    Really, she's the perfect example of how not to respond to posts if you want to say something intelligent or civilized, therefore we must keep her as a reversive rolemodel to keep things on these forums in order.

    My objection to Xev is that she will continually ad hom people with one and two line posts, and then scold you in another thread for exactly the same thing saying that it's not a chat room. As a moderator, she should not make different rules for herself while enforcing rules on others. It sets a bad example and it's hypocritical. I do think that when she edits a post, it should state that she herself has edited it no matter what the case. We should know when people have been edited by a moderator that has shown poor judgement and immaturity. Despite the fact that I think Xev is extremely intelligent, I find that she is a poor moderator at best for all the reasons I just stated. Her presence there is one of the sole reasons that the posts there are not as intelligent, or in-depth as some of the other forums on this site. When people are repeatedly held to different standards than the moderators and are edited/deleted when and egoist sees fit without connotation of the fact that they were edited or why... it does defeat the purpose of having an open forum.

    Most of the very intelligent people simply don't post there because there is no point in arguing with the retards that stay under the radar in that forum and don't challenge Xev. Because of Xev's attitude and actions, that forum in particular has been a haven for morons and retards despite Xev's intentions that it become more intelligent. Good debates go horrible wrong because of people who are protected under your "free speech" stuff and Xev seems to have it out for the more intelligent of the people with her abrasiveness. The only ones who stay are the ones with enough "balls" to put up with Xev... that's not right. So now you have a bunch of Egoists, and a bunch of idiots all duking it out thinking they all know philosophy.

    I wouldn't agree that Xev does her job at all, let alone does her job well. Perhaps I am wrongly assuming what a moderator does here. As moderator is defined, she certainly is not doing her job. Her comments are inflammatory, not moderating. Perhaps we can list, or itemize, the duties of a moderator, then evaluate Xev based upon what she does relative to what she's supposed to do.

    ... or perhaps specific examples of her failings?

    Note the end of the conversation, where she threw a few ad homs at me in particular, in a chatty and fairly catty sort of way. Then note this;

    http://www.sciforums.com/showthread.php?t=34869&page=3&pp=20

    On the same day barely an hour later, in another thread where she reminds people that it's not a chat room.

    It's this kind of hypocracy that I am speaking of. I think her ad homs in most of her posts shouldn't be hard to find, and her immaturity is pretty prevalant as well. Humiliating people is not a good way to moderate.

    those are quite funny but do you have examples of her abusing her power?

    Hypocrisy is not a crime, accusing someone of being wrong because of it is a ad hominem in its self.

    my point is that these are not moderating statements

    moderators should moderate, not inflame

    if he wants to be inflammatory, let him do it as a member, so i can ignore him, not as a moderator

    no one is arguing whether he is right or not. the question is, should he remain moderator based on performance? i say no.

    again, being a moderator here may be different than the rest of the world. so i repeat my previous suggestion; list the duties of a moderator and evaluate xev on the basis of what he's supposed to do as a moderator and compare that to what he actually does in the moderator position.

    So you think humiliating people on a regular basis is a good way to moderate? That humiliating people repeatedly, isn't an abuse of power? There are people that refuse to post in her forum from fear of attack. People don't like to be repeatedly insulted, especially by a person that is supposed to be in charge.
