Eros - Removed as Ombudsman

[smooshable]

I'm sure some of you are aware that Eros has been Ombudsman for aobut 24 hours but the arangement has not worked out. I am making the thread where the alleged 'calling him a woman' incident occurs.

Jack scored equal second on the vote and is going to get a two week trial in the position.

The unedited thread from the mod forum has been moved to here.

The accusation thread is here.

The was Eros a good ombudsman thread is here.

The are the mods good thread is here.

The come to the mod meeting and complain thread is here.

Smoosh

Pathetic.

[Mystake]

can I be ombudsman again?

Nah, just kidding.

[Ero`Sore]

Note I didn't call Spacey out on it right away because I wanted to make a good first impression on the other mods and talk to Spacey on MSN.

Things failed, I called him out on calling me a Woman, I got fired. Woot! Nice Job MODS!

Pathetic

There was nothing to call him out on, I've read the entire thread you posted and the entire mod thread, and I have to say it was quite clear what he was saying in the mod thread...I personally have no attachment to Spacey, but I'm going to call it like I see it.

Congrats Jack. good luck...

And ill state this now. I hope this position gets filled and stays filled. Not a revolving door.

Now I don't mind about the whole Woman Issue. He took offense/He didn't take offense, It was PC/It was an underhanded comment. Personal Grudges/reading things that aren't there.

The thing that gets me is that the Administration removes a publically voted Ombudsman WITHOUT any sort of Public consent or approval.

It is a position *For* the public, not a position *for* the mods. The Public chose Eros to represent them so if the public feels that he no longer represents their best interests, then it should be up to them to remove him, not at the whim of offended mods.

As for replacement Ombudsman, do the other places truely represent who the people want? If Eros wasn't a choice, would they still vote for whoever is going to replace him. I'm only saying this part because the poll was so one sided, getting a replacement Ombudsmen that was so far behind is not turely representative of the community as a whole.

If you want a new one, let the people revote.

Balor I think Jack will make a fine ombudsman.

Maybe he'll only get the spam temple remodelled with stainless steel appliances, but I think it's a good idea to let him in.

@ Balor : Actually the mods chose him...

<3

And if hes going to act the way he acted, your better off without him and you know you are.

yeah i agree....i can see how he could take it the way he did...but i think he went a bit far after by not listening to his explination....

[Ero`Sore]

The explination was only an excuse.
It's like me calling Spacey a *SELF MODDED* and then 2 hours later saying I didn't mean that.

If the explination was in the same post, things would have been different.

[buck]

Eros, Your wrong.

How can you fail to see that? The more the carry on these merry dance the silliyier you look.

You know how confused I get on forums outside of the GC and how much i just love clicking on poll options. Someone needs to invent a poll on polls methinks.

@Mystake: I'm not saying Jack is a bad choice at all, I don't venture far from the GC and so not well aquainted with the vast majority of the community. I'm just saying when you have someone who had 5 times+ more votes then everyone else put together getting kicked out, thats a lot of votes to redistribute which could significantly change the voting tally.

All those voters now have their vote nullified and the majority of the community are now no longer apart of the ombudsman poll. Is it truely representitive then? If it were a more even poll, I wouldn't be fussed but you have to admit the lack of balance.

agree.... but also he is in a temp position...so anything could happen...
im sure if he does a good job he will stay onboard...if he does it will probably be voted on again....

man must be a really boring day for me as i NEVER come and troll the forum unless im bored

[Asami Ayano]

At first, everyone thought your thread was a joke, and voted yes. {including me} When Spacey wrote a rule, with "ombudsman/woman" like "postman/woman" etc. he assumed everyone had a comprehensible understanding of the English language. Perhaps Spacey erred on that.

But then going onto flame the mod and make a public debatable about it is pathetic. The community clearly did not support the view that you were taking.

Furthermore, I don't see why being associated with the opposite gender is so offensive?

Lastly, Congratulations to Jack! Hope you can last longer than 24 hours!

Balor:
Eros's votes were mainly from ONE alliance that voted en mass. Some of the forum accounts are practically inactive. So you can't really say the voice of the community was nulled.
