I agree, and I actually had no problem with GNT up till he started to annoy even myself with thread locking, thread moving, etc... That's been just within the last few months really that I've "had my fill", so to speak.
Things won't get too out of hand here, but there are two keys here that I see.
1) "He brings it on himself". That he does... I was willing to let him prove himself, and sadly he did, but he proved that he wasn't going to shy away from his past too much. Even if he were a 50/50 mod over with you guys Josh, I'd be more forgiving personally. Sadly, he's a below 50/50 mod at best I think. To most of us who DO frequent over there, that's disconcerting that he's still a mod at all.
2) His actual level of power there allows any criticism to be curbed immediately. Criticism he deserves, and MAYBE could learn from as someone in authority, but criticism he chooses to simply cease because he doesn't like to be crossed.
That's pretty BS to me... I think that's why people are venting here and not much is being said otherwise. I mean, even some of your staff see the same issue we do, so there's a problem I think.
And on a side note regarding Scum, Josh, and myself: I apologize for you having to step in on that thread about Editing over there Josh, but I think my words ring true there. I think you agree with me even. Hell, GNT agreed with me on the topic too I believe... His point was pretty valid too. That topic went off-topic from the start though, sadly, when nobody would answer Durge seriously, but just sarcastically with one-line posts and a
graemlin. Typical.
