Alright, looks to be a good thread here. Let's get started shall we.

I'm going to look at this from two levels, a personal one and a professional one.

Personal: From a personal perspective, I see Sel as a someone who does care for the fanon and is doing her job well. She can be friendly and kind at time, but she can be withdrawn and angry. Like all of us if you hit that nerve that ticks her off, she will get mad. She has people she hates and people she favors, but beside this she can be nice to everyone. She has her favorite topics to talk about, and a life behind her Crat-ly and reviewing duties, though she sometimes brings it into her job which is a terrible idea.

Professional: Sel has both displayed the admiral intentions, the bad personal traits, and the power abusive traits in her two positions. Let's start in chat: She has broken up fights, done the job of getting rid of trolls, and given advice. She has also abused her powers to expressed her hate, turned the rules she's broken apon others to put her on top without taking a blow to her reputation, and plays favortism to some while putting down others who don't deserve it. Let's move to her reviewing next: She is spot on in her reviewing, following the rules to the T and giving excellent reviews and feedback at times as well as doing a job well of cleaning out pending. Oh, but what of those rules do we have? Within the last two or three months there has been changes to the rules, some of which weren't approved by the reviewers, admins, and crats but by one person: Sel. I'll take for example the new "addition" to the color rule which excludes Pronouns. Now, it's easy to see how using pronouns would have a negative effect, but when even the name of a river or a type of grape is considered a Pronoun is where people start to draw the line at unfair. Sel purposely made this rule for some reason, my thoughts on her reasoning being that she was trying to fill a "loophole" that isn't really mentioned in the color rule which Monty, creator of Rwby and the universe we Rp in, posted on twitter to help up Oc makers. Honestly it seems like a way to just make things harder on us. These "rule changes" seem hardly unfair, especially if Sel is misusing her crat powers as a way to just bend the rules to her ways. On that note let's Tie that over to her Crat duties. As a Chat moderator, I don't see much of what happens in the admin backrooms, so I'll leave that interpretation to those who have, But I do imagine that she brings personal ties into it. Doing so makes you biased which means you will have more inclination to some than others. Case in Point: Sel favors most of the admins/crats over Amet. I should know, I;ve seen the posted argument between them first hand. As for her other Crat-ly duties, she misuses her powers to aid her other duty (the whole situation I mentioned earlier with reviewing rules).

Overall, Sel is a Double edged sword, except the side that hurts yourself is serrated. She does the job both well and badly, she's both a nice but sometimes intolerable person. She knows how to use her powers wisely but will willingly choose to misuse them for personal use. So, looking at all the facts, personal experiences, and professional experiences, I wholeheartedy agree with the Demotion of Sel from her Crat position. As for her Reviewer position, I believe she should stay where she is as long as the rules are fixed to before she integrated  her "personal" rules.

She is an excellent reviewer but a bad Crat, so my decisions would be a demotion from Crat to just a reviewer.
