The Official Poll on the wicked Issue
Posted: Fri Jul 18, 2008 7:38 pmwicked losing her modship seems to have the community all riled up. I'm not sure if this is everyone or just a select few individuals so I have decided to make a poll on the topic. I think this is somewhat ironic as before her status was removed she was the most unpopular moderator among players which alone may have been grounds to"demod" her. There have been numerous complaints from players about the way she conducted herself so if you have only heard her side of the argument it might be a good idea to learn the whole story..
.. As for her side of the argument, as near as I can tell she is upset that the people above her had slow response times (which is a prime example of the pot calling the kettle black based on feedback dispute resolution/the time it takes her to respond to pms) and that Twill had a big ego (see the "pot calling the kettle black" analogy). For all of her hard work and good intentions she may have had, wicked caused a lot of disharmony on the site. If your impression of wicked or Twill is based off of wicked's recent posts alone you really haven't been around long enough to know the whole story. I personally have dealt with both Twill and wicked privately and I have found Twill to be laid back and easy to get along with while wicked would often be condescending if I got a response at all. Quite frankly I think wicked is taking the negative sentiment that she created towards the administration of this site and is now blaming it on Twill, quite successfully I might add.
While I can't tell you what the administration's reasons for nixing her were, I can give you a list of reasons why I think it was the right decision.
1. She was often condescending to other non moderator players as well as other moderators
2. She showed preferential treatment towards some members of the site
3. She would become biased towards other members and would unfairly make rulings against them (which were often contradictory to other decisions she had made)
4. Many members of the site complained about her and there were numerous calls to have her mod status removed
If any of this is news to you I suggest you check out my post here. It provides concrete examples of what I'm talking about..

Frankly this whole thing reminds me of the election this year when Hillary Clinton was about to lose but then she cried on national television and went on to win a couple of states which kept her in it. I think this has been coming for a long time and I think that the people who are just now learning about wicked (from wicked's not so objective posts) should take the time to study the background information. Regardless of my opinion, this thread is here to see where the community really stands on the issue so cast your votes so we can see what the consensus really is.

It must be that the woman is just so dumb she doesn't understand the "rules", either that or she just must be that awful "b" word
