my opinon

Why did werdna get demodified?

No-one knows - it was never made public.
Werdna made a thread I think: "The creator can't run his own creation..." but that was locked ASAP

It seems public criticism and discussion of questionable mod/admin action is strictly prohibited.

Go figure.

My demodding was partially the result of my comments in this thread: http://vce.atarnotes.com/forum/index.php/topic,36107.0.html

And yep you're right ATAR, I did make a thread after the demodding.

We respect werdna's privacy, and so we chose not to make public the reasons he is no longer a mod.

It was not our original intention to "de-mod" werdna. There were certain things we were unhappy with, and so we offered him a probationary period to give him a fair chance to correct these things. It was werdna who declined our offer of a probationary period, and chose to no longer be a moderator. We were sorry this was the outcome... please let me make it clear that werdna is a valuable member of AN, and we're grateful that he continues to put a lot of time and effort into his fantastic essay marking initiative.

I was the one who locked werdna's thread. I did this because werdna suggested it be deleted, but I didn't think that deleting it would be necessary. However, I felt something did need to be done about it, because I didn't want certain comments made about werdna being immature spiraling out control... werdna's choice was his, and he didn't deserve to be questioned about it. No moderator deleted that thread; I can only assume that werdna deleted it himself for his own reasons. If this was not the case (which honestly wouldn't surprise me, given AN's volatility since the upgrade), I can ask Nina to try and restore it.

I'm more than happy for you guys to make the situation public if it will put an end to comments like this:

It seems public criticism and discussion of questionable mod/admin action is strictly prohibited.

If outlining the reasons for my 'de-modding' further will benefit the community in some way, then I honestly don't mind. And yep, it was me who deleted the thread.

I honestly don't think the community would benefit from us discussing why you're no longer a moderator... I really only intended to explain our actions to the community if you specifically wanted us to. Thank you though, werdna. Giving us permission to disclose this issue was very generous and selfless of you... opening yourself up like that for the benefit of the community.

I have, however, seen to it that your thread has been restored: http://vce.atarnotes.com/forum/index.php?topic=36134.0
I think it best for it to remain locked. If there was a specific reason you deleted it (other than the "clutter" factor), and you wish for it to remain deleted, please PM me about it. Hopefully it will satisfy everyone's curiosity, without compromising your privacy.

[werdna]

Offer's still there Fyrefly, so yeah if you (and the admins) feel the need to finally disclose the issue once and for all, by all means go for it.

[ninwa]

It's very noble of you, werdna, but it's clear you really want your privacy respected, since you deleted the thread in the first place. Thank you for offering though.

[zomgSEAN]

I'm sensing some deep corporate issues.

I honestly don't get what you mean by that

Werdna got into a fight at a pub with some guy, turned out it was enwiabe.

Is this thread unlockable because it would be ironic given the topic?

LOL! (to both statements)
