So you think that they assume that mine is the most intelligent unbiased post?

I put a lot of thought into that post.

i personally don't like you. i don't post on this forum much, but i read a lot of it, and you really seem to have anger problems. i remember when i joined i had recently bought a ddr pad and computer hookup, and was asking how to make the computer recognize the pad as keyboard keys, so i could play ffr with it. you went ahead and said that ffr was for hands so there was no point in the thread. i then made a semi-snotty and sarcastic post, and then you just lost it. you were cussing and whining and i actually thought of you then like a little baby. i couldn't believe it when i found out how much you had done for the site, because i didn't think anybody would let someone that's such a jerk do that sort of thing.

well, that's my two cents.




Wait! My pennies!
They're gone.

Spec has a point. A very good one. Several very good ones, at that. Back when people were rallying for more mods, I remember that I was the only person who said "but who could be a mod?" I view the moderators in a certain kind of special light. A light where they always seem to know what they're doing, they're smart, funny, active, and in definition, the perfect poster. I remember saying that the only person I really viewed in that light was Cenright (and Freak at the time). Cenright got modded, and I couldn't have picked a better person myself.

But...I have to say, I never viewed Arch in that light. There's no doubt you've been an effective mod- stupid topics were locked, idiots were silenced. You ruled the forums with an iron fist. But the forums need a pen of steel, not a fist of iron. I felt that more than a few occasions you went completely out of line. Whether it was undermining the mods, flaming people or throwing around unfounded accusations, quite a lot of what you did destroyed that golden image of Administrator.

I don't think you're trying to 'rally your troops', so to speak. I think that you know you've been out of line, and you're trying to see how much it bothers people. You're testing the water to see if you should jump out. The Robbyzero and Kenzya issue, unlocking topics locked by mods or locking topics left open, flaming...popular opinion has been down as of late. As 87x said, during the beginning, you were terrific. But as 87x also said, you need to be more detached and stop letting your emotions control your modding, as well as control your tongue.

I'm not going to vote, because I don't believe in looking at this as an election. I don't want you unmodded. I don't necessarily want you to stay modded either. I just want you to be the best mod you can be, for the good of the forums.

well, you have a less than 50% acceptance rating. As I've always felt, you should not be or ever have been a mod.

I'm not going to vote, because I seem to be looking at this whole situation from two sides.

Arch0wl does an awesome job as a mod. He locks what needs to be locked, he gives justification to why they're locked so that the n00bs shut up. I've noticed that there are some other mods (I won't name them) who simply lock topics, and don't even bother to reply to them. This causes people to start MORE threads asking "OMFG WTF BBQ WHY YOU LOCKY MY THREAD?!" which results in a flamewar. One small problem. There are times, when justifying why he locks a thread, he goes overboard. He goes to extent of insulting one or more people/posters, which is wrong. When posting, all he really needs to do is state what went wrong, and ask NICELY (unless it's one of those problems that always repeat) for them to not do it again.

What I said above is basically the only thing that i see Arch doing wrong. I know there's a good hand full of people who think "Arch0wl sucks he is so mean blablabla" and I used to think that too. I was talking to him the other day and everything turned out fine. Communication is the key. People don't always act the same way at forums than they do on instant messengers/real life. Before saying somebody is 'unworthy' to be mod/admin, make sure that you actually know them well enough before you judge. I don't, that's forsure, which is exactly, as I said before, why I am not voting.

EDIT: BTW, to whoever mentioned it, that "Does everybody hate me" thread I started when I first joined was back when I was a n00b. I know getter than that now.

Many of you bring up valid points. Too bad I brought them up months ago, when no one wanted to listen. I'm not gonna say I told you so, but I told you so.
