Voting in favor of demoting Alex.

I tend to have the recent activity on a separate tab whenever I come to the Fanon, curiously looking over reviews, new OC's being made, watching you all as you sleep... etc. From a few of the times I've seen Alex review an OC, the writing seemed very hostile when it came to rejecting a character, hostility mostly aimed towards the user.

When a reviewer comes along to judge if your OC will fit into canon or not, you want the message to be received as, "You're so close! Keep trying!", "This needs a lot more work. Ask me for some assistance if you need it," or something along those lines rather than, "This is utter shit. Make it work or pack up and go." Not saying to be nice and sugar coat the review, but no need to be an ass about it.

Aggression scares people off, giving them a bad vibe of the community. Sure, the reputation isn't overly positive due to previous events, but there's no need to make anyone who wants to come in, and join the Fanon feel like they aren't welcome.
