Well, I know that my say doesn't really matter much here, but I also know that this is ludicrous. When I heard that this thread was made, I was genuinely surprised and kind of irritated that it'd even be brought up. Goldtimbers has, for the most part, been a reasonable guy and a responsible mod, and you gotta realize that this is me saying that. We never really got along well at all, be it me trying to ban his friends or him calling me a whale.

Sure, I don't edit here anymore, but sometimes I'll visit this site to find an old conversation or page or whatever, and I always see oldtimbers in the chat. His presence is pretty much consistent, and even if he's afk, he can always just read chat logs. I think I know enough from past experience and my brief appearances here to at least know what I'm talking about... for the most part.

Your arguments, frankly, are laughably weak. "He isn't around 24/7 so he should be demoted D:" - Given the fact that this Wiki currently has a pretty low number of staff, the last thing you want to do is demote a mod because he's "not active enough." Granted, if the person is a vegetable or completely inactive, then sure, you can tell them that they'll be demoted if they don't start participating, but your argument is essentially that he should be there constantly and banning people quite a lot, otherwise he's a bad mod and should be rid of without even really informing him of your supposed disappointment in the quality of his performance. I was around a lot and I banned quite a few people, yet you people never liked me, so I don't understand the inconsistency here :3

Point is, you're saying that you need more "reliability" on behalf of your administration, yet you're proposing the removal of a moderator who seems to be much more active than you're claiming he is... how exactly will this help you? Don't pull the "we need to replace him" argument, because we all know that, if there were truly strong candidates for promotions, they'd have already gotten them. You can just as easily promote a new moderator with Oldtimbers still in his position. Jussayin, there aren't that many staff members right now. Removing one is not going to help at all.

Also, how can you talk about "making the administration look unreliable" when 90% of the people contributing have been here for years? Obviously you're short-handed, and everyone knows that. There's nobody to show off to or to "impress" with your so-called "reliability."

"(He's an active editor, but we're not here to talk about that)" Uh, what? If he's editing, then he's obviously there and can flip over to chat in two seconds. Not sure what you're smoking.

This is clearly a poorly-devised, desperate attempt by Mr. Neddy to try and play politics and dwindle down the staff so that he or a friend can probably try for a promotion. He'll deny it, obviously, but my job isn't to be the likable person here, my job is, in this case, to play Captainobvious2... that very lame, so I'm going to shut up now.
