I tried to make a petition about this some months ago, but that never really got anywhere (mostly because Ale removed it. I was told to do this this time, by an admin, so don't remove this Ale, I KNOW YOU'RE READING.) Nehpets7000 and Avalair have again started problems on chat, during which their possession of chat moderator impeded upon the defusing of the situation. They broke the policy, trolled, started a flame war, and refused to heed an administrator's request to cease their behavior. This is extremely disappointing to see coming from two moderators, but questions have been raised previously about whether they are fit to hold their rights. Hopefully a decision can be made about that today.

Cutting to the chase. Neh started a flame war on chat today. The first thing he did was begin lecturing us on how we're all weeaboos and can't have quality chats.

10:03 Nehpets7000 We used to have such quality chats here once. They were actually funny and entertaining and one of the best things about this place....and now...now it's like everyone is a weeaboo. And in an even worse way than they should be. It's not even like you guys are obsessing over anime...but you're still being weeaboos. http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/903/715/570.gif

This didn't start anything, though. And it wouldn't have if he hadn't continued it about five minutes later:

10:09 Nehpets7000 It's just...I'm honestly disappointed. I wouldn't be saying this if it were a one time thing or once in awhile but it's like these conversations are all we have anymore. NIGHT CHAT on here is more sane than day chat. I mean, I can be silly and enjoy that but we've taken it to to a horribly stupid level.

10:10 Vonness11` says the guy who says "BEING HOMOSEXUAL IS GAY!" all the time

10:10 Nehpets7000 Well, Von, maybe I wouldn't say it if everyone on here wasn't being super gay all the time. :P

Several users continued to point out how he regularly engages in these "low-quality chats".

10:12 Nehpets7000 Mhmm, I try to add some humor value to it but I'm hoping you guys can actually read through the lines, beyond that.

10:12 Nehpets7000 I really don't know why I'm even bothering.

10:13 Nehpets7000 Well, I like to try and stay to be a moderator in this chat and be a decent influence for everyone.

By this point a flame war had started. Von pointed out that his hypocritical use of "weeaboo" and "gay", and his response:

10:14 Nehpets7000 I only say it when people are being that way. Like not even in a way where it would be....but in a way where it's...this.

10:15 Nehpets7000 "foolish, stupid, or unimpressive." -an actual dictionary definition of gay.

He's been around far long enough to understand how people would react if he were to use that definition of gay. It's hard to see it as anything more than deliberate trolling.

10:17 Nehpets7000 Ohh yes, I'm such a troll, I'm trying to be serious for once and stop being super foolish for once. I'm really just saying this to make you all angry and feel bad.

At this point Mad stepped in and told him to stop. The argument ceased for a time, but Avalair provoked it again.

10:30 Avalair You guys are too much

10:30 Avalair Calling someone a troll for stating their opinion

Mad requested that he stop. Neh joined the argument again, and they continually failed to heed her requests, but eventually the issue died off when the trolls were no longer being fed (For the lack of a better phrase.)

A more complete log can be found here; do note that the first few minutes of the argument (between 12:03 and 12:06) are missing. The issue lasts until around 12:35.

The situation would likely have been defused much earlier if Neh and Ava were not mods; kicks could have been handed out and hopefully this would have solved the problem. Unfortunately, this could not happen, and the argument was perpetuated as a result. This, combined with the harassing and immature behavior each of them have shown in the past, sparks valid concern as to whether they should have these rights.
