Okay, yeah, I've been pretty lighthearted and jokey about this whole thing what with appending the two titular words to just about every thread I've made in recent days, but this time I want someone to actually acknowledge the **** that's going down here.
Dexter should not be a moderator. Sorry, but this is indisputable. Anyone defending him at this stage is biased and wrong. Of course, that's not to say many people are defending him right now, but regardless...
So, let's weigh up a few things against him right here.
1) Editing the posts of others. Case in point: NEMI.
[url=http://vgchat.com/showpost.php?p=520366&postcount=186]Example time![/url] Omni tells me that she actually stopped coming around VGC because Dexter was constantly harassing her to the nth degree.
Past case: Remember when Judge moderated the Off-Topic area? Remember a certain picture thread Sable Wind made years ago? Remember how he renamed it to "Ogle a Young Girl's Tits" or something along those lines? Remember how he was demodded within days? Hm.
2) Deleting the posts of others. Case in point: Yours truly!
I've already kicked up plenty of **** about this, so it's not exactly uncommon knowledge. After I stepped down last August (or sometime around then), whenever I came back around VGC Dexter would prune my posts for no good reason. He's been doing this consistently until a few weeks ago, and it's gone completely unreprimanded. Not even a wrist slap. He's got to have wiped at least 30 perfectly decent, serious posts of mine over this period. Dex, dear, trying to get me to be a "better member" by intimidating me into submission isn't kind, honest or necessary.
Past case: Admiral Anthrax. Back in the beginning of '05, he deleted two of my posts. TWO. His reasoning was that I "should have known my place". Dexter's reasoning is that I was "being a punk". After a few days of you-shouldn't-have-done-thats, he was demodded.
3) Random unwarranted bannings. Case in point: Your humble narrator.
I didn't have internet access for a week or so while I was away in eastern Europe in March. I signed on at some point and noticed I'd been banned a few days into my absence. Dexter was responsible. Strange! I've never been banned for nothing before! Around a week ago I was banned again on, admittedly, better reasoning - Despite this, I wasn't given an explanation, it was a two-year ban, and I did not break a single rules. As far as I'm concerned, a well-established long time member gently poking at the rules isn't really something which should be harshly reprimanded. Furthermore, since when did VGC have "unwritten rules" as Fate referred to them? (Note: Not dragging her into this at all; I just like the way she worded it.) What the **** is the point of having an invisible rule that people are expected to follow? And whose idea was it to severely punish anyone who even mildly transgressed such an unfollowable mess of a regulation? Oh, wait, Dexter.
Past case: It's a reasonless ban. Do you NEED an example?
4) Miscellaneous power abuse. Only one case right here, but I'm sure I'd be able to drum a few more up given the chance.

You stink Netman, go away!

"Are you ready to stop being cretins yet?"
hahahaha no.
Something should be done about Dexter, but chances are nothing will. Sad, really.
You need new material, not only do you not anger me anymore you don't make me laugh either. You ****ing failure.
Why is this thread back...?
Because Dexter is the great satan and we need to burn the online equivalent of an effigy.
Yeah, at the beginning when you went from a cool person whom I enjoyed talking with to a complete *******. It upseted and infuriated me. Much like Lurr.

Holy **** Jesse, CARE TO EXPLAIN? Why has no one else been noticing this?
wtf someone's been hacking my account
It looks like that's what you're talking about over in da mod board, about Arcadios!!!!
He's in the normal usergroup!!! My only guess is it's cause he started da thread!!! Yo, 'netman' can you delete posts in threads you don't make??!!
To any one else, go look for a thread you made in a board you don't mod. Can you do da same thing??!! Moderating your own thread is my only guess, but I couldn't find anything about that in da settings!!!!!
*er, thread hijack alert.*
Nope. I've never been able to delete posts in threads I make.
Seriously. :confused:
go back to bed klarth
