DarkFrog ("
Ive came bearing news"). If he spammed them with many accounts, Deathcom3s and Void had all the right to ban him. First, because he's multiaccounting. Second, because he's spamming. Both are pretty explicit on «spamming with many accounts».
When you're trying to defend someone, violating the rules like DarkFrog did is the worst you can do. Nevertheless, Void is no longer on our staff, as you may already know.

PurplePoot. I do not see how his post is relevant to the topic we're discussing here: there are a few incompetent people on the staff who need to be demoted, the transparent moral about fixing what's wrong and demoting a few heads, Ghan sometimes stepping over someone's toes and breaking things instead of fixing them, a few explanations as to why there are no new moderators for a few Development sector sections and, most importantly, an advice about being criticized, which I think we should all listen to.
Back on topic, though, we're discussing power abuse and PurplePoot's comment does not seem to be related.

Destiny.Knight. I'm pretty sure I got back to Bounty on that one; I told him to mention all the details when posting. What he did there was a «quick review», and this is one of the reasons why I don't like «quick reviews».
Aside from that, I can only tell you that Bounty's comment, while short, mentions a few things that I don't think you need to be a genius to understand. «Horrible terrain», «unoriginal spells», «boring gameplay»... either you understand this and don't want to admit your flaws or you don't and therefore haven't played enough maps; and, come to think about it, how many successful authors created their project without playing other maps?

i_brg_doom. General Frank was indeed harsh here. This is what I was talking about when I asked you to come up with proof.
I think it should be mentioned, still, that i_brg_doom is the first to blame for not reading the rules.
About
Maedh. I remember him and I think I was inclusively the one to set him off like that when I deleted a few of his posts on the Map Development forum.
Maedh fails to understand the point of having rules in the first place when he asks «
What right do mods have to censor what people can and cant read?». We have no rights over what people can or can't read. Following that logic, we're prohibited from prohibiting pornography, spam or flaming on the Hive because we mustn't delete posts. To answer his complaint, though, I think (but am accepting to be proven wrong) that people do not want to go through dozens of «cool

», «waiting on this map!!» posts.
As for shutting censure behind closed doors, I do not agree with this either. I actually think it is preferable to have threads like these than to have them in Admin Contact, where they (and I know this because I had privileged access to it in the past, as you know) will likely go unanswered. You're vulnerable to be accused of making drama, yes, but this shouldn't worry you if it is the moderators you're trying to get to.

Firelord213. He did not explain his case in detail, so I will not comment it. As for the poll, while it gives an idea of what people think, it does not explain what the problem is and is, therefore, useless.

KaboomMaster. He did not provide any links nor did he mention any nicknames. It's hard to diagnose the problem when we've got nothing to refer to.
Still,
N.O, it is not too late to come clean if it's your mistake. Just go into the Admin Contact, admit your error and apologise. Nobody else needs to know. Every man makes mistakes, but only great men admit they did.
