Mixed feelings on Seece leaving. He did run some good threads, but he was a bit of a jerk and definitely one of those stealth trolls that really undermine discourse on here.

A not-so-nice person who did good things, where does that leave him?

I was being polite in my last comment because I thought I was the only one. I agree.

I hate how he could get away with anything because he was best friends with the head mod as well. Their friendship is on of the reasons why I wasn't so bothered about Machina leaving, the head mod shouldn't be friends with one of the most frequent argument starters on the site.

They were friends long before Machina was head mod, and I'm pretty sure before he was even a moderator (and when Seece was a great deal worse. He was positively mellow recently compared to then). You don't abandon your friends because you receive a promotion.

The idea that Seece got special mod protection because he was friends with Machina, on the other hand, is ridiculous. Machina isn't here to see what I'm saying, and knowing both of them, I still maintain that point of view. The reason it seems as though he got mod protection is that while much of what he said was (considered) inflammatory, none of it came close to breaking the rules. It's an art that one seems to pick up after four years on the site

This actually makes a lot of sense thinking back to his comments, and it's one of the main reasons why I agree with Mr Khan's first comment.

Still, there were a few times that I thought he crossed the line further than many other people who were banned for little offenses, and I always felt that it was because of his friends and his status that he never got banned.

I didn't know that they were friends before though, so that's fair enough, you can't just drop your friends like that for the comments they make on a website.
