You guys aren't going to get anywhere if all of your arguments consist of calling anybody who disagrees a mean word.
I have moderated for two different online communities, and, just as Ephialtes says, it's a thankless job. You get these people who make stupid posts and then act totally surprised when they get removed.
With all my experience, I can safely say Ephi's actions are entirely justified.
If there's a megathread for something, keep discussion to that thread. That includes downtime. You don't make a new topic saying "ogm fav musician is ded" if there's a megathread for that musician.
It didn't work the first time, and it won't work the second time. If anything, this will just get Badspot to make an official statement on these threads.
Kalphiter's posts are being automatically deleted (within 10 seconds) by Ephialtes, so I'm posting this topic for Kalphiter.
I don't believe it's a rule here, but where I come from, posting stuff for somebody else would get you a ban.
It's pretty clear the community wants Ephialtes removed from his power.
Poll says otherwise.
