User blog comment:John Breasly/Demotion Request: Tama63(Declined)/@comment-3112181-20120212061429/@comment-2040576-20120212083404

Pencil, being a smart-alech ( which I don't see Tama doing ) is not a major offense and reason for demotion. Garland, I think I know the answer to your question: New and inexperienced users dont understand the rules and how things are run and act immaturely and get angry when Tama enforces the rules, I have had this happen to myself while being a chat mod. Tama is probably the most active admin and is often the first to act when a rule is broken ( good use of powers there ) but people get upset because they can't face the facts that they have broken rules and go along and call him corrupt. He is seen as the big scary guy who punishes everyone who breaks rules, when really he is just the fastest. The new users don't care if he changes the theme without asking because they don't know much about it, which leads me to the conclusion which I stated above. Some of the older users seem to have grudges or actual quarrels with Tama because of his brashness or some conflict they had in the past.
