That was disgusting. You guys disappoint me on so many levels. I read the whole log. Nehpets is totally completely without question and without the slightest doubt 100% in the right! I can't believe you guys. You should be ashamed of yourselves. If I witnessed this on stage in real life I would stand and applaud Nehp and give him a hug for his valiant effort, even if the rest of you sat and booed and threw rotten veggies. The amount of insults this poor moderator took without complaint is mind blowing. He even managed to keep a touch of humor in his replies. You were just too caught up in the moment to realize it.

Nehp absolutely did not start any flame wars, nor make arguments continue or ignore requests from an admin or do any other sort of harm in the least. That's ridiculous. Anyone who can read English can plainly see it was the other way around. He did his job as moderator as perfectly as anyone possibly could. A prime example of excellent judgment. Not sure I would have done a thing differently. He nostalgically recalled the good old days of chat when everyone loved the quality conversations. He stepped in and KINDLY warned people the chat subject was going too far. And simply answered questions people asked him! Later with a hint of due frustration, he said a little bit more. But by no means was he the one continuing the disruption. Is no one allowed to disagree with your opinions these days?! Or is it only the mods? =\

For crying out loud people, take a chill pill! ...or a few. xD And while you're calming yourself, look yourself in the mirror and reflect on what you could have done better in that situation. Pm would have been an excellent option if you really had to continue such discussions.

Also, Nehp was clearly not alone in his opinions of the poor and uncomfortable direction the conversation was leading. I saw two mods and an admin speak up (one before Nehp even said anything) and a couple users as well.

I found nothing whatsoever to be offended at with anything Nehpets said or did. The only problems I see are how vivid the conversations turned and how harshly you spoke to those who protested. I've heard talk of how the mods sometimes "tear users to shreds," well I see a very different situation here. The mod was the one being kicked down. =\

Is this really how you like treating people? The kind of reputation you want this wiki to have? Please, something needs to change right now because we can't go on like this forever. I'm tired of it all. If this is how you treat the very mods who try their best to keep YOU safe, then I want no part of it. I don't want to be a mod in a system like this. But you have the power to change it you know. Find a little kindness and respect in your hearts won't you? Please?

You guys are my friends. This doesn't change that. I hate to scold, but you see, this kind of behavior really bothers me deeply. Some things are only humorous for so long before they slip over the line and go far too far. And treating anyone (especially someone doing a hard mod job) the way you treated Nehp, is just... sad. Sad sad sad. I expect better from smart people like you. I expect better from my friends. So let's all be a little gentler, okay? :c

Thanks for listening guys. I just... yeah. I couldn't not speak up. 3: I'm having trouble finding the chat logs. But there were several CMs on at that time that will all agree that Nehpets was refusing to heed any requests. I myself had told him to stop several times to no avail. My issue is not with Nehpets' opinions. (Which I don't agree wth, but he is entitled to his own opinions) my issue is with his blatant disregard for the rules. In this case refusing to listen to requests to stop. This whole situation put myself in a very awkward situation, the argument was disrupting chat and, though this is concerning Neh, neither side listened to requests to stop. But I couldn't very well discipline one side without disciplining the other, as that would just disrupt chat more, and I was unable to take any action against Nehpets.
