I don't think you understand how this forum, or even Badspot himself works. I'm not gonna pretend that I know the guy, but I've hung around his territory long enough to know how he operates. He may need someone to help moderate, but he's not going to just go "hmm.. who's the best forumer we have? Mod." Ephi didn't get the job because he's a fantastic person who treats all equally and is extremely helpful. He got the job because Badspot was going to PAX and needed someone to cover for him for the weekend. When he came back, he just left Ephi at his post. If he picks anyone to replace Ephi, it's going to be someone that he knows personally because it's really a job anyone can do.

Well not specifically, anyone can be a moderator but it depends on the fact that if you do good at it.

Anyone can be the CEO of McDonalds/[Insert Big Company], but that doesn't mean they can do the job.

Comparing the CEO of a massive company to someone who essentially cleans up diarrhea in the hallway is absurd.

Anyone can be the janitor of an insane asylum, but that doesn't mean they can do the job.

Ephi wasn't even an admin, he was a moderator.

We survived fine before that, so we'll survive fine now.

While it's a shame he's gone, it ultimately won't make that much of an impact on the forums.

Kalphiter, obviously.

I was replying to your post. Quoting your post again does not counter my argument. Identifying something as rule breaking and removing it is a basic skill.

Bushido definitely

Look closely,
"Anyone can be the janitor of an insane asylum, but that doesn't mean they can do the job."

He probably had the ability to do what Badspot can do in terms of moderation.

Yes, that does mean anyone can do the job. The only requirement to being a moderator is being someone who won't abuse their power.

Regardless, my point wasn't that anyone can do the job. My point was that Badspot isn't going to pick the most qualified person for the job.

[Swat 3]

because it's really a job anyone can do.

Yes, I stand by that. It is a job really anyone can do. Everybody is capable of not abusing power, and my entire point was that Badspot would pick someone close to him. When Ephialtes said he'd cover for Badspot, he replied "Aren't you abusive?" to which Ephialtes replied "not really" and got the job. Again, you don't understand Badspot's attitude.

Either Greek or just leave Badpsot to run his own operation
