It was not an admin vote to put those people on the list, rather it was a discussion and various admins dropped their thoughts. So regarding Thyr, just because his name was on the list doesn't mean all admins thought he needed that. But in fairness anyone an admin brought forth would be discussed, and as such when the admins discussed everyone brought forward, majority didn't see anything wrong with Thyr.
You all are acting like we collectively put him on the list, then turned around and made him a mod. You're wrong in that assumption. Just because an admin brought forth a name, doesn't mean we all felt the same way. So put away the pitchforks and calling "hypocrisy" when that is not the case.
Damned if we do, damned if we don't. Sorry for the negativity boys, but glad you two joined the Mod team.
Finn, I don't think there is much negativity directed at the new mods. If anything, most seem rather supportive. It is curious however, how different the perception towards various community members is among the Greens themselves. How could one Green feel so strongly opposed to a member so as to put him up for ban, while others think the same individual is mod worthy? It is understandable that each Green would bring their own perspective to the job, but there's a fine line between diversity of opinion and plain and simple bad judgement. My belief is that the latter was most likely the case when Thryzul's name was brought up for ban and that belief is reinforced now that he is moderator.
One guy who was recently announced to have been nominated for a permaban, who continued to show compulsive hassling of a member, and who repeatedly showed total disregard for other people because of his inability to budge out of his own limited perspective.
And another guy who got permabanned (twice?) in the past, who tried to take revenge on all the server by helping people to cheat, who routinely made trial by forum videos and threads, who shows complete disregard for anyone he has identified as a suitable victim for smeering and bullying campaigns, but who somehow manages to stay by melting admins hearts by big-eyed brown nosing, which he is very skilled at.
Maybe admins are trying to finally get rid of them by making them mods to burn out and lose interest in the game?
Or maybe they want people they know they can disagree with without shattering frienships, so that the admin team is not the tunnel-vision impaired clique they used to be for most of discos lifetime, of which the current team is harvesting the storm that was brewing for much longer than they were admins.
Either, its fine. There have been worse adimns than these two. In the end, what matters is not who is admin.
The only thing that matters is what people will let people get away with.
Having an admin who people take for an unassailable saint is more harmful than having someone who can be called out on if needed.
User was banned for: Karlotta.

Yes, about 5-6 years ago.

Which lead to said ban, which was served.

You will need to remind me which ''trial by forum videos and threads'' you are talking about and in regards to which individual or group. Because I am pretty sure if that was the case, said content would have been removed regardless of the intentions.

Well, no comment there. I mean, I cannot post as much stupid stuff anymore, that's for sure.

Dunno. I had my assumptions on how the teams work, but...yeah. Not really what I expected. Not sure if it is a good or a bad thing either, but then again I've been here for a day. A few things have taken me by surprise, that's for sure. I suppose if they allow me, I could do a ''behind the scenes'' sort of video for the fun of it, heh.
Oh well, thanks for being honest about me, anyway.
We have a moderator and an administrator on our game's forum abd server who both cheated and trolled in the past. They were both banned and served the bans.
As time went on they changed a lot and now i couldnt be happier to be on the same staff team as them - i believe in you. You wouldnt have been chosen if you werent worthy.
Then again, "maybe admins are trying to get rid of them," could be a thing. I mean we've tried it before xD

You were also a member and spokesperson of the DPC during the pandemonium they caused on this server and regularly condoned their actions / speaking for them / leader of the DPC Skype chat.
However I remember you quickly jumped ship seconds before they were all banned. Probably the smartest thing you ever did on this forum. But I knew what you were doing, you too do not deserve a forum mod position. You are a bad apple to the core
