The problem is that you don't understand what a straw man argument is, so you cannot recognize it when one is being used. Attempts to explain it have not netted any positive results in the past.

But yes, in your suggested scenario of madness where Kerotan or you were made a head mod, nobody would have any faith in the judgment of the mod team anymore. You got at least that portion right.

Your previous post offered nothing of substance. You didn't properly address my post and you merely reiterated things that you've said before, so you shouldn't expect anything in response when you made no effort to make progress yourself.

Subjective interpretation can only be a flaw if incompetent people are in charge; which would be the case with you or Kerotan in charge. Such incompetence includes the lack of understanding what a straw man argument is or being unable to tell the difference between an actual racist and a satirical post. There are more things that could be listed as reasons why neither you or Kerotan should be moderators, but the point should already be clear enough. Since most, if not all, of the current moderators probably don't fit the description of "someone like Rol", your assertion that someone like me would have to be in charge would necessitate that you believe that the current moderators are like me. After all, I would trust the current team's competence when it comes to dealing with what is discussed here.

People who attack this site's numbers are usually held accountable. Anyone who calls the numbers worthless has to justify themself because that's how site criticism is handled. Similar things hold true for accusations against the mod team. It would be great if users were being held accountable for a broader range of topics. Essentially, everything that falls into a category of fact-based discussions, so you can save yourself the time of bringing up religion again, or proposing similar topics such as "Does karma exist?" or "Is everything in this world predestinated?" where definitive answers don't exist.

'fraid not.

No dice.

Not too much nudity and try to avoid things being so sexually suggestive.

I removed the url. On to figuring out the next I suppose.

The example of "being unable to tell the difference between actual racists and satirical posts" was a reason why Kerotan shouldn't be a mod. I didn't use the word 'respectively' in my previous post, but you've been constantly present in this thread, so you should be familiar with the incident and correctly assign it to Kerotan on your own.

I care a lot about the mod team and my intention with the topics I bring up here is never to beat the team down, but to make suggestions how things could be improved or how tricky situations could have been handled better. I also remind them of basics like trying to look at things from the perspective of the involved people or that mistakes are only human, and the only real mistake is the refusal or inaction to correct a mistake.

The reason why I want more accountability is because it will benefit every user who values facts and truth. That's a pretty important ingredient on a website that is built on sales data, and said data stretches beyond VGC's own estimates. Whether or not I become a mod is completely irrelevant.

Incompetence is far from being completely subjective as you try to assert. Incompetence is determined by the results that were produced. For example, if a football [soccer] coach is in charge of a top 5 club in terms of budget, but is on track to finish outside the top 12 in a league of 18 teams, he will be deemed incompetent and fired. Related to this example is the search for a new coach where the club manager will go through the resumes of candidates and pick the one with the highest level of competence. Competence or incompetence are determined with the analysis of objective values, like winning percentage, getting the most out of a team, or having the ability and knowledge to lead a team out of the lower regions of the standings.

The above line of thinking is applied to candidates for the moderator position on VGC everytime there is an open position. Since things such as posting history and moderation history are taken into account, it rarely happens that the hired mods turn out to be complete letdowns. This in turn means that the core of the mod team on VGC must consist of competent people, unless you want to write off all those years as dumb luck. Since I don't see an Aeolus or Kerotan on the current mod team, I have no concerns that a higher level of accountability would increase the unjustified number of moderations.

So in summary, the main point of contention at this stage is whether or not you deem the current mod team competent or incompetent. I consider them competent enough to pull off the proposed new direction.

This started with an unsubstantiated opinion about which games Nintendo releases. Nintendo's softography is factual, so any opinions on it can be proven right or wrong.
