Alright, everyone's least favourite ex-staff member will now add his two cents which hopefully some of you will listen to.

My banning on the site is missing a crucial part, which was how it started. I said a general statement on how reviews can be flawed as human emotion and thought process can sometimes get in the way of our judgement of the task at hand. I didn't insinuate anyone. Sel pops in and takes it as a personal insult. I distinctly stated: "this is my first day back. I REALLY don't want to do this right now." What it escalated to you have seen.

I believe that sel can be an invaluable member of the community. She knows what to do in terms of rules. However, as a reviewer during her rule. Something which really grinded my gears was the extensive change of rules without my own, or Amet's knowing. Our reviews became flawed due to the fact that we were not notified of the rules being changed and we were forced to literally learn again from almost scratch. I took a hiatus for three weeks, popping in from time to time to show my activity. But I was considered "chaff" and removed. I wasn't even given the respect of a thread like this. Imagine how that feels. As for the fact that people have bad days. I can't speak for you but I am terrified of being in chat at the same time as sel due to the fact that I know that if I start getting yelled at I'll counter because that's just the way I am. However, I'll never be overly abrasive and rude until the other party is so. It's not a good trait of mine I'll admit, and I'll admit to getting angry at times, but I don't turn into a complete asshat for no reason. With sel, it's not like that. Instead of walking on eggshells, it's like the eggshells are already broken and I'm trying not to break them further. It's just something that I personally feel. Now. Sel can be a great member of the community, but due to her extensive abrasive behaviour and condescending attitude, I do not feel she is worthy of her position. Bending and using the rules to her own benefit and ignoring and breaking when it inconveniences her is not an admirable trait in a beaurecrat. If she wishes to remain in her position. Put her on a temporary basis to show her worth and to show she can change. Otherwise. I vote for the demotion of SelenaZephyr.
