 Abuse of power is the least likely word that should be used; you of all people should know.

Sorry, can you please rephrase that?

Ok, yeah it's been a long day and my brain is a little jellified so bear with me.

Please rephrase that in a different manner because honestly I'm not following you.

Not playing games, just a little confused.

  EDIT: Are you implying that all DV mods abuse their power and so it goes without saying?

 So says the mod that trolls DV under various names and protects a certain person.

  The DV mod's words, are the least likely 'abuse of power' people, you should know.  You should ask your ex.[/DIV]

Sorry.....it was a silly post.  I was attmpting to 'word it another way' to come up with something amusing, but ended up with something more confusing. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/d010.gif" border=0]

I'm still confused.

But it's Friday so who gives a f*ck.

That's really not how I would describe the Orik situation.

It went on WAY longer than it should have and [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #dfffbf"]I don't think anyone was really happy or comfortable with the idea of booting a fellow mod. No one really opposed Orik's firing at the end (after all that had happened) but it wasn't a matter of ganging up and acting in unison either.[/FONT]

  The bottom line is that mods on DV may be called to task for things they do, but rarely for things they DON'T do. In other words, Academe and Orik were booted for actively abusing their power, but if a mod is simply refusing to re-ban a user who keeps coming back, not much is going to be done about it. That's just the way it is.[/DIV]
 I wasn't referring to Orik's getting demodded. That was a long time ago.



I was talking about the very recent banning where all mods dutifully kept banning him.



I think in the end they reached an agreement of some sort because Orik can post now.



And ever since then he's been doing a lot of ass kissing so he won't be banned again, but that's another story...

   Also, I think you made a good distinction here because what you're saying illustrates different forms of powertripping: One is the active kind. Whereas there's another form where one abuses their power by turning a blind eye to the activities of one individual, however other people are punished if they committed the same act.
