I can't believe my eyes, honestly. This whole situation is completely ridiculous. Let's see, first of all, there's jason.autos. He attacked me via PM (this is a whole thread on this here in the Mods forum) and he continues to repeatedly attack all Mods in general. He was one of the driving forces in why we lost one of the best Mods that we've ever had, David (Manu80). And I won't even begin with whosurdaddy, we all know of his reputation.
If these two are going to be AEs permanently, this is the last straw for me. I thought good things were going to be happening with Ian's new system (which I do like for the most part and it was a great idea). But now TMs are being promoted that don't serve any purpose and it seems like any and ALL behavior is now tolerated here (be that selling fakes, posting fakes, members being insulting and rude to other members without any ramifications). This site has gone downhill in a hurry and I am definitely not the only Mod to have realized that. This is just one more shining example of what's going wrong.
I believe moves like these are the main reason the moderators are leaving, has anyone else noticed how few active mods are on the site now? not many
whosurdaddy takes shots at the mods every time he gets a chance, I remember him saying a few times the only reason he comes to this site was for a good laugh
Guys, I know that you're quite upset at those two being made AE's, but I assure you that if they continue to act in the way that they have in the past, Admin will remove them. As of right now, it's just a temporary move. If they exhibit any inappropriate behavior, please do let us know.
I guess that I'm a believer in second, third, etc. chances. I do believe that they have good intentions, only that they oftentimes their true meanings get garbled by their "rude" comments. Just give them a chance. That's all I ask. If they continue to be rude, I can assure you that they will be demoted.
Just give them a chance in the meantime.
Andy, we are still discussing the details of the forum. It could take a bit of time.
