PM tofu if you have a problem with my posting. But the bottom line is that my posting is fairly clean because I do make an effort to comply with the rules. It's not my fault that there's an endless number of posters who flagrantly break the rules because they disagree with me.
That's not a myth, that's alternative facts

How little suffices to satisfy the masses. Make a gesture possibly without any practical implications and people are happy

Nothing at the moment but as one of the main right winged posters xDaunt's often involved in arguments that happen and some people were not happy that they could not report him if they believed he crossed the line.

It has nothing to do with it, I didnt mean it like that. There are a lot less right leaning posters in the thread compared to left. Leading to those who do post frequently (like xDaunt) to be involved in more of the arguments.
As for their thoughts I don't know. I never had a problem with no report button. Easy enough to PM a mod if I believed something required action.

Well, I regularly heard complaint about the fact that a non-right leaning mod was abusing his powers and couldn't be reported, so yeah

Speaking of which, the 90 day-ers will be unbanned within around two weeks. Then the trouble will start.

Do you mean Kwark and P6?
Damn I thought their banbets were 6 months.

That you can PM a mod is not the same thing as a report button that all the mods can see. Afterall mods are people in contact with each other and people form friendly relationships with each other. Unless you can somehow pm all the mods and they decide to create a post on it. Anyways, I've noticed that writers tend to abuse their unreportable status, but once they are mods, they tend not to do so. Not sure why though.

all these complaints are amusing to me. people should be happy they cant report them since it will just ruin their report stats. one of the few things greenhorizon and i agree on is that you cant trust the establishment to police itself. =P

xDaunt was never a mod, btw. He was a writer.

I'm pretty sure p6 wasn't even a banbet he just requested a ban until year end and got the smallest ban that fulfilled that
he could come back if he requested
E: apparently he requested precisely 90 days but you get the idea

yep, plansix requested the ban right after the results came out. Kwark is also on 90 days banbet, should be coming back soon. As tofu mentioned, xdaunt was a HoTS staff, not a mod.

Can we get a short statement on why ?

Given the history of controversial staff on tl, we're going to get hyped that haha he shit posted so hard he got kicked from staff and the find out he stepped down out of self awareness or lack of activity. The only time I can remember someone got destaffed for being a asshat was some graphics dude who plagiarized hard quite a few years ago now.
