Moderation and assessment of character are not the same thing. I never claimed intuition was a bad thing, only that it's not how one should moderate. If I were a mod, I would not use my mod powers to prevent you from becoming one. I'd only make my wariness known, as I have. Likewise, if Tony were a mod he would be perfectly free to sympathize with Pink. He would not be free to abuse the rules of the forum for her. Which is exactly what he just said he would do. Your comparison is flawed.
So you're going to moderate off of intuition, instead of facts? Pink claimed it was not her information. She did so loudly and often, with great conviction. By the rules of the site, she was not in a position to have it taken down. Taking it down upon her request would have been against the rules. What you are saying right now, is that as a moderator, you would have broken the rules of the site, based on your whims of intuition.
VOTE TONY FOR MOD : P
I honestly don't see why you would be weary about me.(Yes, I read your description of me, it's unfounded considering we have never had a serious conversation and you haven't tried to get to know me sobs) I'm harmless. I love this place. I want it to live, to grow, to be happy!. Not crash and burn.
