Actually i am a local moderator of 2 boards and a toribash blogger. I dont really care anyways because you took the quote out of context.
I was frustrated at rittu's demotion because he is a cool guy and a good moderator.

That kind of proves his point. :P
Anyhow, rittu became smod again so I guess that is a good compromise.
There was too much drama and they probably had more reasons to remove his adminstrative position than this one incident.
He can still prove himself to be helpful and a valuable part of the staff .
How are you?

If you go back and look again, I realized exactly what you were arguing, and shifted the topic to what we could do to prevent it; or, the lack of actions to do. Then it got closed, go figure.

I was told by SkulFuk that it was one of the reasons, via query. Seems pretty valid to me.

It's ridiculous to compare the activity of the guy who runs Wibbles to a guy who administrates, say, Market. In Market, there is always something to do, and always something to get done. In Wibbles, I have to recruit Wibblecops. Make sure the Wibblecops are doing their jobs. Replace old Wibblecops. Moderate along with the Wibblecops. And that is all I have to do. Ever notice how often leaders of groups of people or things other than market are removed/replaced? It's because the higher-ups compare their activity to Market admins. And I will be bringing this up again.

Being demoted due to a lack of communication, then not being fully reimbursed for it? That's fair? How exactly do they expect me to do any admin-related activities in Wibbles, ask another admin? No, that's asinine, and a bother for all involved.
