Most of your post is just your opinion, which is fine, but I have the tangible record of DDO to support my point.
Of course it's just my opinion, responding to your opinion. That's what debate is. xD
My opinion is informed, as indicated by the seat site you currently can't access.
Take my challenge. DDO is still open. Go there and tell me if you think hari or bully were not ban-able behavior. If you would allow such behavior here, then we are lucky you aren't mod here
Max isn't an active mod anymore,
How do you know? He posted TODAY with his mod Airmax account.
he has no real obligation to the website, especially after the influx of spam.
Nonsense. He has an obligation as long as he accepts the position of mod.
Max was a volunteer mod and was never paid for his job,
How do you know this? But anyway, he accepted the post, so whining about the lack of pay is dishonest.
though he's put more collective work into the site than the developers by a long shot.
I never saw that. He mostly made others like whiteflame work for him.
Point is, he is no longer invested as much in what happens anymore because the site is broken and the developers refuse to fix it.
Airmax is still mod of DDO.
Whatever's happened over the last couple months on the site behavior wise, max has taken much less notice or care of.
I know. Which is why he should have resigned and let someone who wanted to work, work.
I personally don't know either of those members or the behavior you are referring to, because you haven't posted any links, but it's a lot less likely for something to be done about their behavior now then it was before the influx of spam increased to the point of making the site virtually unuseable.
Dude! I'm talking about starting from 2 years ago.
If their behaviors are as toxic as you say, and this was brought up to him when the site was working more functionally, there is a good chance he would have looked into the situation and done something about it.
Completely untrue. I was not the only person who brought it up to him. The site was working. He called a filthy racist "problematic" and did absolutely nothing. Not even a "cut it out". No one asked him to ban anyone.
I have known Max presumably a lot longer than you have, and I think other members who know well him would vouch that he would always look objectively into any situation back when the site was working.
I doubt you've known him longer, but it matters not. He was a poor mod, and our present situation is the culmination of his ennui and incompetence.
You are mis-directing a lot of your frustrations to Max when it should be at the failings of the developers of DDO.
Both of them share fault. Max was the head mod. My blame on him is objective, correct, and supported by the sad state of affairs.
Airmax would not have banned rational madman. Even at 10 times as offensive.
This is blatantly untrue. Rationalmadman, if memory serves, was perma-banned back in 2013. He was banned and un-banned multiple times before that as well
If he was permabanned, how was he on the site yesterday? Several people on the site now make RM seem like a priest. You have no clue what you're talking about.
Max is no longer invested in the site now, so yeah trolls run rampant, but he did an amazing thankless job for years sheerly out of his own personal interest.
Trolls have run wild for more than 2 years. And no one forced him to take the job. He was a terribly poor mod.
We don't need to agree on Airmax. You like him, fine. I don't think he was a good mod. I do not need to justify that to you. And I would not divulge private conversations jus because you ask for them.
I am just saying, if you are going to make a broad statement like Max not being a good mod, and aren't willing to justify it, it's hardly a convincing case.
If the troll and spam eaten site doesn't convince you, nothing will.
You are here to debate you said, right? In debate is someone generally supposed to substantiate a claim they make for anyone to reasonable buy into their arguments?
The dead site is my substantiation. This thread full of ragged DDO refugees is my substantiation.
I'm glad Mike isn't him. I like this site. If you think Max is so great, go there. The site is still functioning.
This is a non-sequitur, I never argued that Max should be a mod here. Also I don't need him as a mod to enjoy a debating website. I am very good friends with him and talk to him almost daily outside of the website.
I highly doubt this. No one had contact with him for ages, not even juggle.
My point with all of this is that I think you are kind of an "anti-Airmax" ideologue, but again you are mis-directing your anger at him.
OK. And I think you are one of those people too easily influenced by a little power. A hanger on.
But we are allowed to disagree. I just think the current condition of DDO supports my opinion much better than yours.
