Who is he, why was he hired, and why is he still here?

I hired him, thought he was suitable for the job, and I think he has justified my decision.

Do you not think so?

I'd like to add something to this. http://pastebin.com/TVtBq5ph

 

The beginning of the log shows clear immaturity, and when you factor in his age (being older than most people in staff), I think this is considered unacceptable for a staff member.

 

Although I agree we were being somewhat harsh on him being new to IRC, his general attitude of taking things so personally is not a desirable trait for a staff member to have. His constant arguing with people like Silverfin and Dafix is rather irrational as well, as neither user repeatedly said something that might have been interpreted as offensive.

 

I believe that he should be removed on the grounds of misconduct, inexperience in the IRC, as well as his poor attitude and his inability to 'take things as a joke' or to let things go. In addition, from what I've seen in his posts, everything is based off his one mod topic, and to be honest I haven't really seen him online or on the IRC.

 

In addition, I just recieved this:

Unban me. You have 24 hours.

Do not trifle with me.

 

>wasn't even the one who banned him

 

His belief that making threats around here will get him somewhere is another thing that hurts his ability as a staff member. His personality, behavior, and attitude towards others is rather poor, and I believe it needs some serious work.

Interesting read, I'll have a talk with him later, which should result in him being removed, if not given a final warning or so. Well, I don't know, but I think a second chance should be offered as he is a suitable moderator forum-wise. About his posts, I asked him to post more in the Mods section, so that's not a surprise.

 

Given by what I've seen, he's rather a different person in the IRC than in the forums..

I'd also like to point out one of his most recent posts:

 

Seems legit.

 

If you think I purposely did this, why do you think:

 

A) I would be public/candid about it?

I would type an apology?

C) I would willingly risk my status as a GLOBAL MODERATOR to cheat? You don't think they allow hackers to admin this site, do you? Ever heard of "setting the standard"?

 

If I really did this, don't you think the more logical thing would be to stay quiet, lay low for 5 days, and act like nothing happened?

 

But go on, Sherlock. Tell me more.

 

Overkill has this attitude that any sort of hostility towards him must be defended, and he has stated to me on the IRC that 'he's not going to take this shit'. I'd recommend for a removal, as a final warning would only leave him in a bitter mood along with compromise his moderation with the thought that everyone in the staff is his enemy.

Now seriously, we all know Silverfin is a dick and an amazing faggot, specially when he is properly motivated. It is a matter of knowing how to handle and act in front of his faggotry. If overkill can't stand that, he should rather leave. Otherwise, forum-speaking, I haven't seen any problem with his "moderating abilities". Yes, imo he does a decent job. But as you've stated before, he should learn to relax and taie things not-so-seriously.

 

As a side note, if I had been on the IRC chan by the time that discussion took place, I'd have banned all of them for a couple of hours.
