Hello, there is something that is bothering me.
Something is wrong with the system. Well, it is broken. As you may or may not already know the Admin abuse section of the forum has been shut down after Nuffen lost his powers on vote by the community.
A new thread has been started, the name of the thread is EU Admin Applications. The first poster applying to be an admin is the same Nuffen that lost his powers yesterday, even chadz has voted for him.
These are facts.
Now lets discuss this: I am personaly dissapointed at this development. It seems to me that you can get away with everything if you are good with the right people. Wookimonsta was an admin that lost his powers in the same way as Nuffen did. There was no hype. He abused, people voted, he lost his powers. Perhaps Wookie didnt spend so much time on irc and wasnt so good with the right people.
I personaly believe if Nuffen gets his admin rights back now that the system has failed. If chadz (or whoever is in charge of admins) didnt want admins loosing their power by votes of the community the system shouldnt have been implemented in the first place.
It is my observation (and it may be wrong) that the higher ups think that we were just trolling Nuffen and that we werent serious about the abuse or the vote. What the higher ups dont understand is that we werent trolling. I have spoken to numerous people, we believed in the fairness of the system, we believed that if we were mistreated by an admin that we could use the power of democracy to remove that admin from power. We were fed up with Nuffen so we made a thread, we voted and he lost his powers by votes of the community. I will not say anything about the conduct of any side. There has been bitterness on both.
What we now need to think about is the system. Will it be obsolete if Nuffen gets his powers back?
I personaly believe, if Nuffen becomes admin again, that the higher ups just dont care about the community. The statement that they are making (It will be subtle, masked by the EU Admin Applications and the possible acceptance of Nuffen) is: We decide and we dont care what you think or vote.
I would be fine by that if we were told so directly. If they didnt try to mask it. Giving power to the community trough votes and then taking it away by being biased.
These are my observations and my concernes. What do you think?
