Whoa you guys...

Im gonna help out, seems like everyone is forgetting something important.

Here's some background on me (you can skip this): My livelyhood depends on my ability to directly facilitate and lead employees everyday to achieve the needs of my department, the needs of my clients, managers and even employees who earn their bread everyday in a business that thrives in working with people of all kinds.

I dont need to repeat or explain what Sel is or isn't, I've read this board, the sources, the replies, and I've met Sel (and others like her type) and I know the people she interacts with.

This is a chatroom guys. You need to be thinking about the bigger pictures, your goal, this chat. We hop online to talk to people stress-free. Thats the purpose of a mod, to make it stress-free, not turn it into some beauraucratic debate.

You have a problem. A lack of leadership and common sense. Clearly the actions of ONE individual is at a tipping point for everyone. If this happened on my watch, after seeing all the details, its very obvious guys.. there are better people suited for these positions. Being a mod means you dont act on your own personal feelings, thats true for any position of power in life. You do not act on your "triggers", especially if you are "off-duty", you shouldn't have triggers in the first place. I'm not gonna watch one of my guys clock out of work and then turn to my employee and talk to them the way some people have been talked to here. You do not play a game of who respects who or develop favoritism to anyone at all. Don't bring problems. Not these kind.

Anyone can do this job, and you should expect the results that mods bring to the table. None of this "don't push the wrong button" attitude, that doesn't exist. You don't put up with this sort of negativity just because the job got done. You do this job right, selflessly without expecting anyone to "tolerate" that behavior. Trust me, theres plenty of people who can do so.. plenty. Yes, I can understand 1 day out of the year, but this is a pattern and its a pattern that isn't going to be resolved by accepting that some people like it and others don't.

HERE'S THE COMMON SENSE: This person lacks the proper attitude to make the chat what it should be, and it will not change. If she were removed, the chat would go back to normal and that would be the end of it (and nothing personal should be felt or have come out of it). Put your personal feelings aside. If you need someone to help with duties, get someone that doesnt come with negativities. The attitude of the mods is the attitude of the chat, and it needs to be unbiased.

Guys... Its a chatroom. We hop on for a few hours to talk to people who are nice, then we leave feeling relaxed. Don't turn this into a big convoluted game of "whos right and whos wrong, and what rules should we follow, and whos more upset than who". Put and adult, and an adult only, in charge.

Sel, if I were you, I wouldn't wait for a vote. Shutting it down is best contribution you could make.
