I am iffy on the second chance. Jarod, it was not the joking around that caused this, it was linking an underaged user to a pornographic site. I am a teenager and I can take these things with maturity, but that doesn't make them right.

Maybe I am just crazy but where is the joke in linking someone unwillingly to a porn site? Why on earth would he want to do that as a joke, a prank or anything? I don't think we should have mods who have to fight the urge to do such things, it is not right. I personally can not think to look at the users and say that if you are in a position of responsibility it is okay to link to porn once in a while, we will give you 1 or 2 chances. I feel giving him another chance is not right, we should have mods that don't do this in the first place. Has Sharple ever done something similar? Has Law ever done anything similar? Has Benjamin ever done something similar? Have I ever done something similar? I can not express my words perfectly right now, but I am trying to say that I have no idea what would entice a chat mod to randomly link someone to a porn site in PM!

Step and others have warned Davy about this, and he knows the rules well ( I should hope so as he is supposed to enforce them ), so there is no excuse for this.

I also see no defense coming from Davy, nor apology to Marc and the other users or even admins. When there were other cases of mods/admins who messed up, they would often apologize to the user soon after or make a blog apologizing to the community. I fail to see this and therefore a reason to forgive him, as well as any sign of regret from Davy's side.

This is very unlike Parax. Hermit makes some dark jokes and allows a bit of naughtiness in good humour on chat, but as soon as major rules are broken, people begin to insult each other or anything of the sort he jumps in and puts them down. This is what I like about Hermit. I would not dare compare Hermit's humour to Davy's as Hermit doesn't link to porn and cackle, Hermit links to funny videos expressing some reaction he has at that moment, which is hilarious. So no, this can not be justified as a joke, nor can it be compared to the comedic stylings of Hermit.

Therefore I stay on for the demotion, but I am not set on it. Should I see a few things, that I will not name and that meet a certain category, I shall change my vote. But sincerity will need to win me over. I hope the rest of you can see where I am coming from :P
