Moderator Replacement

IntroductionThis is in concern with the recent events which occurred in Miscellaneous forum. I created a thread 100th comment wins, this thread was created as a fun game. In this game some players took interest especially Zmikecuber. This player counted the number of posts till the 100th post, unfortunately he wasn't the winner. The user named KC applied some brilliant tactics and won. Ore-Ele who is said to be this sites moderator behaved inappropriately, deleted some posts using his moderator privileges and his/her post became 100th. I was offended by this act and asked Airmax for justice, Airmax who is another moderator of this site is well known to solve any kind of complex issues didn't act in appropriate manner this case. My thread was deleted without any pre-intimation. I was outraged by this act and created member attacking thread which included the sites moderator. This was unfortunate.Why Ore_Ele should be replaced?1. Airmax is mature and handles the case in a best possible manner always but mistakes do happen. However, Ore-ele is different he/she is immature. Most people don't even know he is moderator of DDO.2. Ore_Ele is fake. Most users confirmed Ore_Ele is a man but his profile gives wrong information to users which says Ore_Ele is female. Moderators should be faithful and should create a sign of trust among users.3. Ore_Ele doesn't work.I have never seen Ore_Ele working as moderator, Most of the mod work is done by Airmax. Ore_ele just comes here for fun which is confirmed by himself.4. There are other users who can be moderator.DDO has some best debaters. Some may be interested in becoming moderator. Roylatham, Ragnar, Whiteflame, Wylted and many more may suit for the role.5. Many other users demand for change"Ore_ele abused her privileges. It's not up to the moderators to decide which thread is "more important" than other threads. Even if Ore_ele considered Krazzy_Player's thread to be unimportant, she clearly was using her moderator abilities as a form of trolling. Moderators shouldn't do this. Period. It's unprofessional. They should moderate, not troll.I don't know about what happened with airmax. I'm assuming that he was just trying to keep a big fight from erupting. I don't necessarily think that was the right way to go about it though.So I can understand Krazzy_Player's anger. While I think he may have over-reacted, I do think that Ore_ele acted inappropriately, and that she abused her powers."The above words is said by Zmikecuber and few other users have the same opinion and you can check here if it's not been removed. http://www.debate.org...ConclusionModerator's job is to ensure the smooth running of any site. If any problem persists, Mod's should solve. Mod's should help other users. Airmax does this pretty goood but not Ore_Ele, Ore-ele trolls other users for his/her personal fun and doen't work as moderator at all. http://www.debate.org...Users like Roylatham,Ragnar etc best suit as moderators and there is a hope that if these users becomes moderaotor, they may handle the issues like Airmax. For all the above reasons change is necessary, even if Ore-ele can't be replaced, he/she should be brought down as a modertor and his/her moderator previlages should be withdrawn.These are some words by another user Ore_ele abused her privileges. It's not up to the moderators to decide which thread is "more important" than other threads. Even if Ore_ele considered Krazzy_Player's thread to be unimportant, she clearly was using her moderator abilities as a form of trolling. Moderators shouldn't do this. Period. It's unprofessional.

While I think he may have over-reacted, I do think that Ore_ele acted inappropriately, and that she abused her powers. I like the cut of your jib. The problem is Krazzy is deliberately attempting to provide further moderator action which undercuts the issue here. This is also provoking other players to respond by feeding the trolling behavior or otherwise mock or attack Krazzy, which also undercuts the issue. Outrage and hyperbole can be an effective tool, but it seems that Krazzy either has no specific goal in mind, or that goal is to get himself banned, neither of which are effective to addressing the issue here. Regardless, I offer my thanks to this post of yours. At 3/27/2014 8:30:51 PM, airmax1227 wrote: Ore and I have talked about this at length. I take a very professional attitude towards being the sites moderator (though I wouldn't say Ore is the opposite exactly in his role, because his activities of this sort are pretty harmless) and I expressed my concern with his joke in the 100 post thing before it was even an issue. While I don't think it was as big of a deal as has been expressed in this thread, these types of things concern me and Ore appreciates the position I have stated about it.With that said, the reaction in this thread is extremely inappropriate. Ore's fun may not have been done with the best wisdom, but I wouldn't call it a misuse to the extent warranting this thread or in questioning his professionalism as a moderator in general. Ore is a valuable asset to the site and I'm personally happy to have him continue to be, but it's clear that things got a bit blown out of proportion here. I find issue with Krazzy being labeled as inappropriate but Ore being labeled as "harmless fun." Your use of euphamisms to downplay what happened here is disturbing, frankly. It's not up to you, or any moderator, to dictate to other people whether the threads they create are not a big deal. Ore used his moderator powers not to moderate, but to win a game. That's abuse. It isn't harmless. And it isn't appropriate. At 3/27/2014 7:16:19 PM, Ore_Ele wrote:Moderating is something we do to help out since when Juggle tried to do it themselves, it did not go well. As people, we enjoy playing and having fun. Sometimes that means playing harmless jokes. Explain how your moderation of this thread in this manner was in the vein of helping out juggle? I get that you like playing jokes as much as the next person but it's not appropriate to use moderation powers, deleting people's posts just to win a game. Would you do that in a Mafia game?

The problem is, if you don't cause a fuss over the small things, it can just give the impression that the behavior, in general, is allowable. It's a slippery slope and I'd rather have a large reaction over something small that forces the moderators to think twice when they try to do it again, than to ignore such behavior until it is a not-silly thing and try and argue it then. In my opinion, the *best* time to talk about these issues is in cases like these because you are afforded a better opportunity to talk about the behavior itself, rather than its effects. I disagree that we should wait, silently, until the misuse of power because gross and overt to discuss whether moderators should be engaging in it.
