Cameron Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Since it seems to be somewhat of a tradition for me to bring you bad news (or at least be blamed for it), here we go. Six or seven Distinguished Members were demoted to regular members because they recieved less than 30% of the staff's votes to keep them as one. The main factors were activity and "distinguishedness," so most of the folks that were demoted we haven't heard from in a long time. Topics about this issue will be deleted, so don't post them. DMs: One of the demoted DMs had a full inbox, so if you're that one, ask me if you want the message I sent to all the demoted DMs. Edit: By the way, "w00t first post pl0x" isn't really appropriate here.

Wiseguy63000 Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Is there a list? Or do we have to guess and figure it out. That's really too bad...
King Of Monra Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 (edited) I don't think that the people who got demoted bothers to much as they surely havnt worked to keep themself distinguished. and about the list. there probobly is one and i guess us dms should see it at the dm place? Edited January 24, 2006 by King Of Monra
Steve Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Sorry to all the DMs who have lost DMship. Im not quite sure what they did in the first place, so I guess the voting was on popularity?
Cameron Posted January 24, 2006 Author Posted January 24, 2006 Is there a list? Or do we have to guess and figure it out. That's really too bad... :P I thought it might be a form of adding insult to injury. :\ I don't think that the people who got demoted bothers to much as they surely havnt worked to keep themself distinguished. and about the list. there probobly is one and i guess us dms should see it at the dm place? Wow? I Wonder Who Got Demoted?... ~Teknikal I can post it for you guys.
Sey Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Not Exactly... De-moted because they wern't exactly "active"... ~Teknikal
Julz(DJ)4433 Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Well I know am I aloud to tell? Cameron?
Wiseguy63000 Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Sorry to all the DMs who have lost DMship. Im not quite sure what they did in the first place, so I guess the voting was on popularity? No way! He said the staff voted to demote them because they weren't holding up to their responsibility... @Cammy: I can understand not posting a list...
Steve Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Not Exactly... De-moted because they wern't exactly "active"... ~Teknikal If it was a vote by the staff I think it was a popularity contest. Yes, activity was probably part of it, but I think mods wouldnt vote for their friend to lose DMship
Arrogance Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Does this mean more will be coming soon? :o I.E. Replacements?
King Of Monra Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 (edited) Not Exactly... De-moted because they wern't exactly "active"... ~Teknikal but I think mods wouldnt vote for their friend to lose DMship :o Then Why do I still have Dm? I'll tell you why . Because they dont vote for theyr "friends" sure i know a few people on the mod and admin section but that doesnt make me and larger then the other dms that maybe doesnt know to many mods but when you have been here a long time its normal that you get to know the mods and admins. but your statement is goofy Edited January 24, 2006 by King Of Monra

Yes, activity was probably part of it, but I think mods wouldnt vote for their friend to lose DMship :/ You aren't making sense here Steve... What were you expecting to happen? :o Cameron himself to choose? That would be even worse as far as prejudstice goes. They simpley voted about who they felt didn't deserve the "distinguished title"
Steve Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 (edited) Thats Pretty Steriotypical Steve... ~Teknikal Lets say you were a mod, and, say, KOM is a good friend of yours, but he isnt very active. Would you vote him out of DM? EDIT: I got an idea. Ill shut up :o EDIT 2: Oh just for the record I only know of one person who lost DM, I dont really know him either. So Im not trying to stick up for anyone Edited January 24, 2006 by Steve
Sey Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Exactly What Wiseguy Said. Also, Im Not The Friend Of Many Mod's Around Here, So Why Do Am I Still A DM?... NOTE: Before This Goes To Far, Remember, No Flaming Allowed. ~Teknikal
Beeboy Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 I don't have my DM anymore... And so it seems :o I probably don't deserve it (or so??) , and yes, it doesn't affect me... I know i didn't have the time to get on the forums... My breakdancing and game project is ripping off all my time. Anyways... Oh and, Ive got the full inbox.
Steve Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 (edited) Julz it would be best if you didnt. If someone wants it known they can post themselves. Edited January 24, 2006 by Steve
Sey Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 No Julz. As Cameron Said, That Would Be Adding Insult To Injury :/. Sorry Beeboy :o. ~Teknikal
Arrogance Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 That just named someone. :o Adding insult to injury speech? :/ You forget?
Joe Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 As sad as it is...i agree with the decisions of the mods... Some of the DMs were less active than normal pledged members... Just because you are a DM does not mean that you can sit back and not be active... It seems to me that even if they are as active as a normal member...this would not be happening... This should really unify all the present DMs... onlyjoeiknow
Julz(DJ)4433 Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Yeah I guess but it would stop spamming. People making topics and such
