Since some people seem to be suffering from memory loss and some others from extreme sarcasm, I might as well summarize and clarify it once more so everybody can get over it.
Old thread:
http://catgc.com/index.php?topic=647.msg6103To start off, Watsuda was right about one thing. I barely know anybody here so I treat everyone alike until they can prove their competence. In addition I was and still am skeptical about most of the current staff's competence just because of the fact I have this position.
Islu and Destructive complain to me about Noomie, Owen and Watsuda abusing the powers of the former two on them.
Although they provided proof it was way too out of context to be called that.
I message Noomie, Owen directly, asking them what happened.
Noomie and Owen tell me Islu and Destructive were trolling.
Watsuda adds me and describes the situation with exaggerated metaphors.
At this point it was pretty clear it wasn't anything serious so I invite Islu, Destructive, Noomie, Owen, and Watsuda into a group chat to ask them to stop messing with eachother.
(This is where it would had stopped, because I didn't see any proof from either side to push the blame just on one side)
Watsuda again speaks in exaggerated metaphors, then leaves the group chat and deletes me.
After that everyone else seemingly dismiss me as well and leave the chat.
Since it didn't seem like the point got across, I proceeded to demote everyone involved (Noomie, Owen) temporarily, and at the same time remove the inactive head staff (whom I had spoken with a few days-weeks earlier regarding their activity) from the roster.
Owen messaged me soon after and I assured him it was temporary and I'd revert it the next day.
The next day I find out someone had told Diivze I demoted a bunch of people for no reason and he had restored everyones' ranks.
And that is pretty much it. Was it unreasonable to demote people suddenly without any notice? Maybe. Was it unreasonable to expect people to cooperate with someone investigating a complaint?
I don't think I'm asking for a lot here, I like to think I'm a fair person, what I was expecting was everyone involved acknowledging they won't cause some sort of drama again and involve me without proof. I don't get any answers and get patronized.
Perhaps it's not the best comparison, but if you're a cop called to a pub about two fighting parties but can't figure out who's at fault, you're going to haul them all off to figure it out, I figured I'd let it slide since nothing really happened, but then one of the people decided to not cooperate and just leave. Now my sole purpose here is to solve problems like that, if people don't want to cooperate I'm not left with many choices.
Maybe I'm taking things too seriously, but if you think I'm so terribly irrational and incompetent that you're surprised I am even in this position in the first place, you can create some sort of community poll and vote me off, and I promise I'll never use any privilege higher than an average user's again for the common good.
I do hope you'll be able to get it out of your system at some point Watsuda, maybe even lose a few layers of sarcasm.
