| Have you ever had to Demote a mod? Yes or no? I have, twice now. One for being immature and breaking the rules, and the other for getting waaaay to power mad.   | ||||

| yes i have demoted about 2 mods. 1 because they didn't follow the rules including 'visit and participate daily' i wasn't strict on that rule, i wouldnt mind if they didnt visit evey single day. But it became a habbit, he started to miss like 4 days in a row, then it became 1 visit per 2 weeks and it just wasn't enough. It was'nt the easiest thing to do i must admit. Well, the other mod i demoted just dídn't pull his weight. Even though he is a mate and was highly active and helping the forums a lot, he just didn't seem to do things right when it came to moderating the forums. He would occasionally make mistakes, some minor but 1 or 2 costly. All was fixed but it just couldn't continue. | ||||

| I did it once. It was my fault though. I was overstaffed and it went to all hell.
