    I'm sure I'm not the only one who's noticed that our favorite and most amusing admin has been removed from his position. If you haven't noticed this, please come out form under your rock.

    Now, this thread is pretty easy to get. I feel it was unjustified to remove Vash from his place: he's worked for this forum for over a year (approaching two even). He's donated a lot to this site (yes money isn't everything and Raven expends more to this site, cheers Raven :D) but that sort of commitment should qualify for something as well. Further, having someone of Vash's nature - i.e. someone who is not afraid to speak his mind openly - in an admin position is possibly the best situation possible in my opinion.

    Yes, he can be immature, but rape jokes are amusing.

    Yes, he can be abusive, but oddly enough, only to assholes. Don't take that the wrong way! >_<

    And yeah, he can do some shit that costs Raven time - he's knows what I'm talking about >_> - but how much time and effort has been saved because Vash was here? How many hours of your life have you not spent here sorting shit when Vash has been doing it for you?

    In short >_> bring Vash back. That is all.

    I quite agree with being replaced. I never objected to my removal. It was that, apparently having broke some uber rule. Great. Am I such an exception to the rules that I don't warrant being given a warning for doing something I shouldn't? I had always thought that the staff was held to the same standards as the standards. So where was MY warning?

    Now, let me be an egotistical ass a moment. GIVE ME MAH POWAH BACK!! I must abuse my lessers to validate my existance!!11oneoneshiftuno

    Ahh, Dwitty. The petition. Wondering when that would happen.
    Anyways, I'd say that you're not totally wrong. And I'd sign your petition.

    But still, we probably ought to let everyone, ahh... cool off a bit first.
    And he could be just a Mod, rather than an Admin. Or something. ^_^
    lol, Vashy, Sera.
    Warnings are cool. Useful. NEEDED, even.

    Fuck Yes

    We need a Mod that isn't afraid to ban those who deserve it - and is active.


    Raven and Zev make the site run well and keep it trim, the Mods do a lot to keep all the topics on track and delete the stupid ones, but it's people like Vash and Mid that ban the fuck ups when it's needed - that's the way DLP works, or did, and works well.

    ...and before someone brings up Nukular Winter, that dude brought up a discussion that Vash said explicitly not to again - and when he brought it up, it wasn't even DLP related, it had to do with someone who happened to be a member.

    As Sree said, the staff (I think) are all for joking around, but when they need to lay down the law, you can't go off and contradict them.

    I've gone off on a rant, but whatever, Vash served a good purpose in his job and should be reinstated.

    <UN.Giovanni> Stands corrected.

    <UN.Giovanni> Still thinks that this thing is likely to be locked at some point or another.

    <UN.Giovanni> Imposes Economic Sanctions on random 3rd world country. . . Err I mean noob.

    I don't even know what U.N. means guys; what are you talking about and why isn't Vash back yet and why did anyone vote against him? Don't we want to be a big, happy family again I don't understand.

    Why are we divided/!?!

    I was mildy amused when I was linked to Vash's little Shut Up thread. You want to know what I think of this situation, Darius? Absolutely nothing. It wasnt my decision, I wasnt involved, and honestly, I really don't give a shit. I'm curious as to why I've been dragged into all this when I havent spoken to Vash in about 2 weeks.
    So bring on your petty little insults, Xiph. I'm sure it'll be a laugh.

    Wow, you actually posted. I'm a bit surprised actually. I though you would get someone do it for you. I mean really, that's what whores are for aren't they?

    Everyone knows you were involved, in case you didn't see the YIM transcript in the "Vash Shut up Thread". No, you weren't involved, you just knew before even Vash himself did.

    Damnit, someone must have hacked your account.

    <UN.Giovanni> Cervus this is what I was talking about -- this is why we needed the Sanctions.

    <UN.Giovanni> Imposes sanctions on Darius for being an ass.

    <UN.Giovanni> Imposes sanctions on Missy for egging them on.

    <UN.Giovanni> Imposes sanctions on random noob for posting a post in l337(aka: Retard)Speak.

    <Darius> Imposes sanctions on Giovanni for being an uppity bitch and acting above the whole thing.

    <UN.Giovanni> Is a Legislative body and cannot have sanctions imposed.

    <UN.Giovanni> Is wondering if Darius' post was in any way related to the goal of the thread at hand.

    <UN.Giovanni> Invites Darius to read the UN's posting history on the issue here neutrality and bland watered down messages of reconciliation and sanctions are given out.

    Okay...it's about time to cut out the <UN> bullshit.

    This thread has a serious point to it, it'd be great if that wasn't degraded by people horsing around.

    Well aware of it being a serious thread topic, but I'm trying to keep it at least somewhat civilized.

    And what's more civilized then the United Nations?
