Since we are giving our opinions on Moderators, I'd like to say that even though I think 3J is a cool dude, I don't think he's been cys' best mod. Always thought Seth and BZ did the best, and most consistent moderation on the site. Sometimes it seems that 3J does an action without consulting other mods or acts as a final arbriter, while moderators should be mostly equal (with admins being on the highest level).
Not to say I disagree with the decision, but I think it could have probably been handled more effieciently.
Well, considering that you're not really privy to behind-the-scenes talk, this sounds like a very uneducated decision. I'll admit that I mostly acted alone this time, but in general, a lot of consultation dose take place. Before the 'New Site Guidelines' for instance, there was talk in mod central. What is true though, is that I don't mind playing the villain and taking the brunt of the popular ire, apparently yours included. I think that's an efficient way to run a site and it's very deliberate.
True, but the problem is that he doesnt act that way at all. He disapears wit no notice throuout the year. And then whenever he shows up, he shakes up what the other mods were doing. Which is just beyond silly. (Still lub u 3J)
Yep, disappearing is bad. However, everytime I show up again, things seem to have gone off the rails. I'm definitely partially to blame for the mess (for disappearing) but the 'shaking up' isn't 'beyond silly' because it does right the ship. A WC/racist free CYS is a better CYS.
