You can vote yes or no. You can also post reasons as to why you do or dont want him to have authority over you in this thread. Thread rule: you cant say hes a dirty stinky friend of the family or a horrible little jewish gremlin or anything like that. You have to post that kind of thing in FYAD.

I think getting rid of him would be even worse, ceteris paribus. You have to get rid of what turned him from ralp 2 years ago to ralp today.

I feel like Ralp has made choices in his career as an administrator that have not resulted in a better forums experience, and furthermore, that he carries a negative image that reflects on the forum moderation poorly.

I do not believe, necessarily, that the only way to fix this would be his removal as an administrator, as I believe that all people can change, for the better.

unfortunately, i dont think anyones ever going to "get rid of him". this survey isnt really going to change anything but you can use the results for it as a referenece when making various arguments for or against ralp in other threads. U can also PM the thread link to hjim and call him a gay gently caress tard with terminal soul AIDS, although u do so at your own risk.

Ralp posted:

Any of the gray forums really. Like, the GUNS forum is where you can post about guns. Posting about posts is fundamentally different from posting about guns, even if you're posting about POSTS about guns. Posts about guns are probably interesting to people who care about guns, but posts about posts aren't going to be interesting to anyone who doesn't already care about those posts, so those conversations just become rapidly completely insular and self-centered and unwelcoming. (This very thread is already very insular by its nature so it gets some leeway on that stuff, but maybe that is why it seems like a huge kneejerk crackdown when someone does step over the ill-defined line..?) I actually do like posts about posts which is why I like QCS and FYAD but please, I beg of all 186523 goons, don't metapost in the gray forums.

I understand that u may feel this way but I have to stress once again that this is not the thread to call ralp a dirty friend of the family in. Im sorry, but I dont want to encourage the kind of discussion thaat will lead to this thread being locked and the vote stopped before a big enough sample is acquired.

I feel like I don't have sufficient information to vote. Could someone give me a summary of the bad or good things Ralp has done?

So far I don't feel like I have enough information to call Ralp a dirty friend of the family but rest assured if I did, I would do it in FYAD, where it's OK to do that sort of thing.

Yes, but don't worry Ralp, only for the duration of this vote. Once the polls are closed you can resume your seat of power and then ban all dissenters. I think we can all agree that is fair and just.

If Ralp's duty to the forums is to be like a vacuum for the general dislike the userbase feels towards the admins, in other words to be hated by everyone, then he is doing admirably.

If it is anything else, such as deciding who is probated or banned, I don't think he should be the one doing it.

GET LOSE, YOU CAN'T COMPARE WITH MY POWERS
This thread makes me kind of depressed. There was a time when ralp was actually a good contributor to this site, why do people instantly making rash moderating decisions when put in power? Was the desire to ban people who made fun of him in the wrong forum always there, or is there something else going on? I feel like this is a portal into the future where everyone wants Koos to be de-adminned because he bans people for liking baseball or something.

EDIT: To be clear, I still think he is better than average at the task.

I think Ralp has made quite a few bad bans since becoming an admin and I'd like it if he took QCS a little more seriously, but in a website that has modded and/or adminned the likes of Abe, Toby, Brother Jonathan, Eggplant Wizard, et cetera and so forth, I can't really work up a whole lot of negative feelings towards him. I just wish he'd be a little less ban-happy and a little more serious about the role of QCS (not too serious though because then you end up like the aforementioned bad mods).

So I'm not voting because while I don't really like the guy I don't really dislike him either.
