To be fair, I did ask a few people that weren't from the anime thread a few months back and they declined. It's a catch 22, I have to give the keys to someone I trust, but if I do it to someone and the A&M thread then I look like I'm playing favorites. Coincidentally, I got turned down by most of the people that I trusted who weren't from the A&M thread because they understandably didn't want to do it or had things going on.

It also doesn't help matters that there is a delete forum button on the Admin Panel (for some stupid reason).

I just think you guys need to find someone who's actually good at reading others or something. I mean, I know not everyone is perfect but a lot of stuff that could be considered banned worthy is harmless. Like when there's a debate, sometimes people get triggered that they were cornered and instead of accepting it, they whine to a mod and the mod acts accordingly without even viewing the situation to a full. I'm not out right saying that it's full on nepotism but it's just the way a lot of people feel. I kept thinking that you or the others would go for people who've been around a while and are close with a lot of people here but also hold the ability to remain unbias in moderating acts.

Please don't make this an us-vs-them thing.

I'm not gonna come in and just ban all the Ghosts in one fell swoop.

It'll happen gradually over a week or so.

I would very much hate it if it became a us-vs-them thing.

Especially in the case that you seem to be bringing up, Johnie, I actually acted pretty much alone throughout that whole thing, and I'm not exactly proud of mixing up some posts with others.

It's not an us vs them thing at all, I'm just saying what a lot of people are thinking, anyone who has the perception of a deaf bat can see that some weeaboos hold animosity towards Ghosts and perhaps vice versa. I'm friends with people on both sides (Dio Demon is my niigga and so is Heretic for example), thus I'm Switzerland hence why I feel the most comfortable to shoo the elephant out of the room. No reason to freak out and assume the worst.

Look here my man, I told you to be rid of them in three days max or I pull the plug.

Hey you never asked me! I'd gladly accepted!!!

Holy shit what a dark ass author though.

Brb, gonna give you a Steam nickname as Manfred.

Vroom, thank you for your work and efforts here - they are well done and appreciated.

Puddi, best of luck walking the fine line of enjoying a forum and forcing yourself to act impartially when called upon.

I wouldn't want the job and, at the same time, seek to cause the least amount of situations where moderation would even be needed in the first place. So huzzahs all round.
