We all now are fully aware of the controversial recent move where Meta permamodded Operator. This was not done with my opinion in place. Being as Meta had told him he could keep the rights, I was stuck in a dilenma.

I allowed, under certain conditions, for the rights to be kept. However, Operator was demodded twice.

There shouldn't be a controversy over this, but now, apparently, there is. So, whereas I normally would not put this in a forum post, I want all evidence, whether for or against Operator, posted  here,  with the exception of blocks or chat bans from other wikis (if they mattered here, Rick would be blocked, let alone not be a chat mod.)

Whether Operator is allowed to reapply now, later, or not at all will be up to me. Before you shout out "Hey, that should be discussed," let me say that I'm probably the only one involved who is neutral enough to make a completely unbiased decision and currently have no opinion at all in the case, even though I did not want Operator to have a permanent modship without going through the rules in the first place.

From what I have seen on this chat, Operator does, in fact, enforce the rules. Therefore, I will need more evidence that he is unfit for the position. But, he will have to reapply and the application put to a community vote before his rights are regranted.

I looked at the evidence posted on my talk, by both Operator (despite the drama) and SOMEGUY. He did, in fact, change the post on Ghettonet's TP Chat Mod application not ten minutes after the original.

Other things, however, will also be adressed.  DO NOT   promote anyone without them having filed a request and it having been voted on in the Request Pages. Temporary Modship is fine, but permamodding someone is out of the question (I do  not  want to do this again). I don't care if they lost their house to a fire and the only possession they have is their laptop.

Temporary Mod rules will also be written.

As an admin, it is your responsibility to make sure the rules are upheld, regardless of your opinion on them. If you have a differing/bad opinion on them, why did you agree to them or propose them in the first place? It is also your responsibility to enforce global policy.

This thread will be closed before the admin's meeting, which set to be rescheduled due to one of our admins being unable to make it. I will make my decision after that. (It was shceduled for Thursday.)

As well, just to make sure,  'ARE WE CLEAR? '
