i get it now and it is funny 
I'm not really sure why this reorganisation of forum moderators needed to be done in this very public way. Why not just do it behind the scenes then announce the changes, rather than making it such a massive issue. The vast majority of posters here, i'm sure, really couldn't give a monkeys, and the whole thing comes across as farcical and rather embarassing.
Credit where credit's due but i don't get it. There's a business attached to this forum and this, to me, looks incredibly amateuristic.

It has been done due to it being the best way to do things.
The other option is lots of people go crazy and get themselves permabanned because they feel hard done by.
Worked out really well doing it this way and everyone who needed to know what was going on has been well informed where the general members who it does not necessarily concern have been given the opportunity to get a basic grasp of what is happening although not the reasoning behind it.
Personally I think this is much better than having it all completely in the dark.

Did you not see the chaos less than 6 months ago when the last shuffle occurred? All anyone saw on the forums was that Dons they liked and appreciated suddenly were without jobs and there was a number of protests and suspensions taking place. The explanation for the changes occured too far after the fact. This time around things have been done differently by way of (I presume) trying to avoid the same happening again; though admittedly we've still no idea for this change. Yet despite having been done more publically this time people are complaining that its been done so openly.
In other words no matter what happens, the admins can't win here.
sadly the people of GD do care about stuff like this and no doubt as soon as they seen changes wed have threads or mass thread derailing along the lines of
"whys gilly an admin hes a gayer"
"i should have been admin im a l333t haxor"
"why isnt such and such a mod anymore"
"did such and such get banned"
those threads would spur threads along the lines of
"why did my thread get locked"
"why was my other account banned"
"why is me mate dave banned"
"dictatorship 10101021ld om !~!!!!!!~~OMG WTF "
" insert mod here is a ******"
i think we get the point
its happened loads before and makes GD even more of a mess than it is

Thanks for all your time and effort modding SC, you managed that thankless task with style whilst at the same time being one of its most eloquent posters.Dolph said:Dolph has chosen not to be on that list, in all honesty I don't have the time I used to to devote to moderating like once I did
I'll still be very firmly around the place, there's no conspiracy theory here. This is my choice to take a step back after a long time on the team, this change perhaps gave me the chance to think about it properly, but nothing more
Apologies on behalf of the current team for that. It was nothing on you personally, the team was made aware in the SE/DR before any changes were made.Dutch Guy said:A few days of work and celebrating Christmas in the UK, I come back to OcUK to find I am a Wise Guy again instead of Underboss
Should I have gotten an e-mail about this

I figured that you meant title but I don'tget the relievence to Gillys or Dutch Guy's posts. Something changed on his account and he wanted to know why, that's understandable isn't it?
