Thanks, fair enough. I figured if a majority of the site didn’t want him reigned in, that a large chunk of those would vote against me if someone started a poll (which hasn’t happened and maybe won’t now), and thus I’d have a hard time hitting the two-thirds (or whatever number was decided) majority I needed. But I honestly don’t care whether I’m a mod or not, I’m willing to do it to help out and pitch in, but it’s far from my favorite thing to do. I just won’t ignore my principles if I’m doing it.

Im backing your decision to 24 hour temp bad NBZ, if people want you de-mod for it then they can de-mod me too.
Thanks Smacc, appreciate it.

I do not agree with a push for a perma ban because I do not think he deserves it and all-in-all NBZ was a decent poster in the old site and after reading the thread you created I agree with most of the positive comments towards NBZ for not banning him.
I don’t want to ban anyone tbh unless it’s obvious because I believe in giving the new site time to bed in and that I don’t live in the US and tbh don’t fully understand NBZ’s pains of the Trump era.
Yeah I don’t want to permaban people, and I hope NotBruceZ will tone it down a bit and we can all move along happily. He does contribute a lot of value to the community when he’s not posting the type of rhetoric that I think is uncalled for, so it would be a shame to have this be an ongoing problem.

As I’m a far left poster on here, this site has helped to pull me more to the centre and I’m better of for it because it could have been me posting the NBZ takes easily, and it’s why I hate to see you and Nunnehi argue because I really don’t want to not trust the system if that makes sence.
Makes sense - but don’t trust the system too much ;).

I hope this post makes some sence @anon38180840 and 1 day maybe I can write 10% as good as you and Nunnehi
10% as well. Sorry, couldn’t resist!

As I understand the situation, though, cuse isn’t saying he’ll BE demodded. He’s saying that he doesn’t WANT to be a mod if the community stands in favor of letting posts such as those in question continue without the threat of being banned if they continue.
That’s about the size of it, yeah. If the community standards are too low IMO on what is allowed, I just won’t be the one enforcing them. I’m willing to take a stand on this because I think it’s really important and the community entrusted me with the power to make this decision (for now) and can easily remove me from having that power if it wants to… So I think it’s perfectly fine to take a stand and see what happens.
I’m not trying to be a drama queen with the “Vote to demod me then” stuff, I just won’t be a mod if I have to look the other way on rhetoric that I think is wrong and can actually be dangerous.
I like raisins, candy corn, black licorice, tootsie rolls, and even those fucking pumpkin things.
Fuck those malted balls tho.
Come at me.
Candy corn is disgusting. I’ll take a stand on that one too.
