- 5:04 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: im here
- 5:04 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: hello
- 5:04 PM - Tyrant Mouf: hi
- 5:05 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: ok so i guess i will start.
- 5:05 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: sure
- 5:05 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: i don't think there is any room for argument that tyrant and i do the absolute most on the site
- 5:05 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: the mod logs alone prove that.
- 5:06 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: but even with as much as we do
- 5:06 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: this site is slowly falling appart.
- 5:06 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: every other admin has done almost no work in over a week
- 5:07 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: 2 meetings were scheduled this week
- 5:07 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: both were missed by people without warning or communication of any sort
- 5:07 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: we even discussed site communication at the meeting
- 5:07 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: which i spoke individually to all admins who missed the meeting
- 5:07 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: made sure they were caught up on what happened at that meeting
- 5:07 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: everyone agreed they were caught up and read the logs
- 5:07 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: and yet
- 5:08 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: the second meeting was missed by everyone
- 5:08 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: despite me pming every person individually
- 5:08 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: and them telling me they would be there
- 5:08 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: no one posted their logo top 5 like was requested in the meeting post
- 5:08 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: nothing.
- 5:08 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: this site has 0 communication
- 5:08 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: period
- 5:08 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: we have tried to fix it
- 5:08 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: we have talked about it in meetings
- 5:08 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: and nothing gets fixed or gets done.
- 5:09 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: so frankly the only solution tyrant and i can see to this
- 5:09 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: is either we get more solo decisionmaking power
- 5:09 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: so we dont have to keep asking all the admins for permission to do the things we need to do
- 5:09 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: since no one shows up for the discussions we pre plan to try to get answers
- 5:09 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: or we will both be taking our leave from the site
- 5:10 PM - Tyrant Mouf: Indeed.
- 5:10 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: this has reached a level of frustration that is absolutely unacceptable and neither of us can deal with it any more.
- 5:10 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: we discuss almost everything with each other anyways
- 5:10 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: we work together very well
- 5:10 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: but trying to round everyone up
- 5:10 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: to vote on every decision
- 5:10 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: and no one showing up
- 5:10 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: just delays our progress
- 5:10 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: for absolurely no reason.
- 5:11 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: BUT
- 5:11 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: we do not believe
- 5:11 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: every admin
- 5:11 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: deserves the same solo decisionmaking power
- 5:11 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: we dont think its something that should go to all admins accross the board
- 5:11 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: only ones that have proven their worth
- 5:11 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: like he and i have.
- 5:11 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: you can deal with that by either making us head admins
- 5:12 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: or having a meeting and announcing we will be granted that power
- 5:12 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: i dont know how you prefer to do it
- 5:12 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: but it needs to happen and it needs to happen asap.
- 5:13 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: ok, first of all, define decision making power
- 5:13 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: cause you all got ur decision making power already
- 5:13 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: leon
- 5:13 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: we had to have a meeting
- 5:13 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: to decide
- 5:13 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: but tell me exactly what ur looking for
- 5:13 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: to delete 2 trash subforums
- 5:13 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: which were obviously stupid
- 5:13 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: lol dana
- 5:13 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: we had to have a 15 minute discussion about it
- 5:13 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: that shouldnt need to happen.
- 5:13 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: u dont need a meeting for that
- 5:13 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: we also have to run all our decisions
- 5:13 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: about the mods
- 5:13 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: by all the other admins
- 5:13 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: which is stupid
- 5:13 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: when i saw the logs, i thought it was stupid
- 5:14 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: because the other admin know nothing about it
- 5:14 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: they dont read the rules me and tyrant stay up until 3 am to make
- 5:14 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: they dont have any experience with the mods
- 5:14 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: only decision about the mod is how many we are adding
- 5:14 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: and who they are.
- 5:14 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: not really
- 5:14 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: and who to fire and who to hire.
- 5:14 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: thats up to you
- 5:14 PM - Tyrant Mouf: Not so.
- 5:15 PM - Tyrant Mouf: You said yourself when I was trying to hire mods that it was your decision.
- 5:15 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: also the whole choco firing thing
- 5:15 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: i didnt said a word about the 2 trial mods, and when i talked to you thought empathy had the same hours as ari and all of us, then i figured out that he actually had the perfect hours for us
- 5:16 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: honestly, it was stupid we even had to discuss that with aces to be honest
- 5:16 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: he had no idea what was going on
- 5:16 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: choco firing was literally YOUR (both of you) decision
- 5:16 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: the entire situation had to be brought to his attention
- 5:16 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: no
- 5:16 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: i just said... ok
- 5:16 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: it included aces!
- 5:16 PM - Tyrant Mouf: When I picked the trial mods, you approached me yourself Leon
- 5:16 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: aces?... aces said the same i said
- 5:16 PM - Tyrant Mouf: after you returned from your trip
- 5:17 PM - Tyrant Mouf: To ask me why I went ahead
- 5:17 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: ya, i did, cause you guys were adding ppl like crazy tyrant
- 5:17 PM - Tyrant Mouf: and picked mods without letting you know
- 5:17 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: and we needed to discuss how many ppl we needed to ad
- 5:17 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: add
- 5:17 PM - Tyrant Mouf: We added 2 people Leon
- 5:17 PM - Tyrant Mouf: 2 people
- 5:17 PM - Tyrant Mouf: The plans were different, yes
- 5:17 PM - Tyrant Mouf: but aat the end of the day
- 5:17 PM - Tyrant Mouf: it would be 3 people picked
- 5:17 PM - Tyrant Mouf: then I had it lowered to two
- 5:17 PM - Tyrant Mouf: per your request
- 5:18 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: ya
- 5:18 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: number of mods added
- 5:18 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: only that
- 5:18 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: if we are the ones who have to do all the work leon
- 5:18 PM - Tyrant Mouf: But you didn't come to me to hear the original plan first
- 5:18 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: shouldnt we be the ones who decide
- 5:18 PM - Tyrant Mouf: you heard it elsewhere
- 5:18 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: how much help we need?
- 5:18 PM - Tyrant Mouf: without asking me what it was
- 5:18 PM - Tyrant Mouf: even though I created the plan with aces
- 5:18 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: at the end of the day should that not be our decision?
- 5:19 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: let me answer one question and them move to the other one
- 5:19 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: tyrant first
- 5:19 PM - Tyrant Mouf: The plan was to go over the apps, sort it down to 5 trial mods, and from those 5, 3 are chosen perma
- 5:19 PM - Tyrant Mouf: This was before the change you requested
- 5:19 PM - Tyrant Mouf: when you came to me though, you had already heard the plan who knows where
- 5:19 PM - Tyrant Mouf: and assumed we were hiring 5 mods
- 5:20 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: when you guys did that, we had a complete chaos going on... we needed to discuss how many mods we are getting, and also we needed the list i made, we cant just add more ppl into the bucket
- 5:20 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: so yeah, i approached you and told you that u needed to discuss that with me
- 5:21 PM - Tyrant Mouf: I tried to, but you were on vacation remember?
- 5:21 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: and you still need, if you gonna add another trial mod, i wouldnt care
- 5:21 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: BUT
- 5:21 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: if u wanna add another MOD
- 5:21 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: ya
- 5:21 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: u need to ask me
- 5:21 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: ok
- 5:21 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: so that takes us to my question
- 5:21 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: why should we need to ask you
- 5:21 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: tyrant and i are the only ones
- 5:21 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: who are modding the site
- 5:21 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: we do all the work
- 5:21 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: scarness never touches his sections
- 5:22 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: aces barely had time this week to touch any of his
- 5:22 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: why would that decision be anyone but mine and tyrants
- 5:22 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: if we know how muchindividual work it akes
- 5:22 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: and therefore how much help is needed.
- 5:22 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: why would that decision be in your hands if you do absolurely no moderating
- 5:22 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: and therefore have no idea how much is actually needed to run the site efficiently
- 5:23 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: it is already our responsibility to supervise them and train them.
- 5:23 PM - Tyrant Mouf: You're the owner and all, but you haven't taken the time to meet the mods, interview them, go through each section of the app with them
- 5:23 PM - Tyrant Mouf: get proofs
- 5:23 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: how can we do that properly without the authority to hire and fire them as well as needed.
- 5:23 PM - Tyrant Mouf: this is the kind of work wuvs and I do regularly
- 5:23 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: by regularly he means at minimum daily. if not hourly he and i speak
- 5:24 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: and communicate
- 5:24 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: about anything and everything that we see that needs fixing
- 5:24 PM - Tyrant Mouf: We literally spent hours on end creating the rules and responsibilities, going over them with each other, suggesting edits, implementing changes
- 5:24 PM - Tyrant Mouf: then once posted
- 5:24 PM - Tyrant Mouf: gathering feedback from mods
- 5:24 PM - Tyrant Mouf: and making changes even after
- 5:24 PM - Tyrant Mouf: We do that Leon
- 5:24 PM - Tyrant Mouf: Not you.
- 5:24 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: literally
- 5:24 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: we stayed up until 3 am
- 5:24 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: making the rules
- 5:25 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: editing them writing and rewriting
- 5:25 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: then
- 5:25 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: we gave it to the mods
- 5:25 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: made sure they read them
- 5:25 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: got their feedback
- 5:25 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: discussed that feedback with each other
- 5:25 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: then reread and edited.
- 5:25 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: and re sent it to the mods
- 5:25 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: for more feedback
- 5:25 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: that all happened
- 5:25 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: within a 24 hour window
- 5:25 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: i know, u linked me those rules dana
- 5:25 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: let me finish with your questions
- 5:27 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: everyone has their jobs dana, right now we need the mods to start working, so you guys can stick to your job only... both of you already have enough decision power, i cant see the problem here... you can hire and fire ppl like i already told you, but about how many ppl we are adding, well, thats another story
- 5:27 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: we agreed 2 ppl
- 5:27 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: if u wanna get both of them fired
- 5:27 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: do it
- 5:27 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: and get another 2
- 5:27 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: sure
- 5:28 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: but the number of mods, is something WE need to discuss
- 5:28 PM - Tyrant Mouf: This isn't what we understood though Leon. From what we got from you
- 5:28 PM - Tyrant Mouf: Aces and I were under the impression you made the final say.
- 5:28 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: as was i
- 5:28 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: about the number... yes
- 5:28 PM - Tyrant Mouf: Or at the very least that it should be run by everyone
- 5:28 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: that we had to run these decisions by you.
- 5:28 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: and get your ok
- 5:28 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: before making them
- 5:28 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: not really,
- 5:29 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: that is what you told all of us.
- 5:29 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: i literally laughed when i saw the logs about the prefix thing LOOL
- 5:29 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: the convo about choco
- 5:29 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: with aces
- 5:29 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: took 20 minutes
- 5:29 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: a convo
- 5:29 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: that should never needed to include him
- 5:29 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: because he had 0 idea what was going on
- 5:29 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: nah
- 5:29 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: we should not have had to contact him about that
- 5:29 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: or scarness
- 5:29 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: how much time took that convo with me dana?
- 5:29 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: 1 min?
- 5:30 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: maybe 2
- 5:30 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: it shouldnt need to be had with you leon.
- 5:30 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: if tyrant and i are the ones with all the information
- 5:30 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: it shouldnt even need to be discussed with you
- 5:30 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: we should tell you our decision
- 5:30 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: to keep you in the loop
- 5:30 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: and thats it
- 5:30 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: we shouldnt need to ask permission to do it
- 5:30 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: that is the difference.
- 5:30 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: thats what im trying to tell you... if u come to me, and all i say its ok...
- 5:30 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: thats stupid
- 5:30 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: yeah it is stupid.
- 5:31 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: you trust us to make the decisions
- 5:31 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: 5:30 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: we should tell you our decision
- 5:30 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: to keep you in the loop
- 5:31 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: but we still need to ask permission
- 5:31 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: basically
- 5:31 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: tot ake actions
- 5:31 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: that was the convo with choco
- 5:31 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: on that decision we make
- 5:31 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: the number of mods we decide we need
- 5:31 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: is the exact same thing.
- 5:31 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: it should be in our hands to decide
- 5:31 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: we are the ones
- 5:31 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: most aware
- 5:31 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: of what this site needs
- 5:31 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: in terms of people working
- 5:31 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: and how many mods we need.
- 5:31 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: so the logic is the same.
- 5:32 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: sorry dana, those things would need to be discussed
- 5:32 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: then give us a reason why,
- 5:32 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: you have no idea what it takes to mod this site
- 5:32 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: because you dont do it
- 5:32 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: why would you need to be included in that discussion
- 5:32 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: if you dont have the information you need to be in that discussion?
- 5:33 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: cause im basically the head admin and owner dana
- 5:33 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: i need to make those decisions
- 5:33 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: you dont need to make those decisions, you need to be aware of those decisions.
- 5:33 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: making those decisions is why you both are here discussing with me instead of asking gae or scarness stupid things
- 5:33 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: same as the choco firing
- 5:34 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: we arent talking about admins. we are talking about mods.
- 5:34 PM - Tyrant Mouf: Why Leon? Have we not proven time and again we can handle those types of decisions?
- 5:34 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: ya i know dana
- 5:35 PM - Tyrant Mouf: If it's about feeling like you're the head guy and owner
- 5:35 PM - Tyrant Mouf: We get it
- 5:35 PM - Tyrant Mouf: you have that title
- 5:35 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: yes tyrant... but as you can see, every other admins wanted you both demoted, and MY decision was NO
- 5:35 PM - Tyrant Mouf: you started the site
- 5:35 PM - Tyrant Mouf: everyone knows it
- 5:35 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: thats what im trying to say
- 5:35 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: i dont make bad decisions at all
- 5:35 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: maybe some mistakes
- 5:35 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: but not that big
- 5:35 PM - Tyrant Mouf: but you aren't involved in the required topics to feel the need to be involved.
- 5:35 PM - Tyrant Mouf: Period.
- 5:35 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: exactly
- 5:35 PM - Tyrant Mouf: We know it best cause we do it every single day.
- 5:35 PM - Tyrant Mouf: Don't get me wrong
- 5:36 PM - Tyrant Mouf: Not trying to offend you in any way
- 5:36 PM - Tyrant Mouf: Just stating simple facts
- 5:36 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: ok
- 5:36 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: lets put it this way
- 5:36 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: you want me to take care of applications and training the new mods?
- 5:36 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: cause i basically trained both of you
- 5:36 PM - Tyrant Mouf: As far as every other admin wanting us demoted
- 5:36 PM - Tyrant Mouf: Look at them now
- 5:36 PM - Tyrant Mouf: Sitting back and relaxing
- 5:36 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: no you didnt leon.
- 5:36 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: cmon dana
- 5:37 PM - Tyrant Mouf: You know who trained me?
- 5:37 PM - Tyrant Mouf: All those forums years ago train me
- 5:37 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: years of modding sites
- 5:37 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: and running teams
- 5:37 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: a decade of experience in this
- 5:37 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: trained me.
- 5:37 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: ok, well
- 5:37 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: you want me to take care of those?
- 5:37 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: no we dont.
- 5:37 PM - Tyrant Mouf: I can easily tell every member that breaks a rule to "Eat a fat dick." and ban them and call them "N00bz lozrs haters" and all that.
- 5:37 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: ok
- 5:37 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: we are not asking for less responsibility
- 5:37 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: we are asking for more.
- 5:37 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: more decision making
- 5:37 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: because we deserve it
- 5:37 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: but more importantly
- 5:37 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: we need it.
- 5:38 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: it is essential
- 5:38 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: to us doing what this site needs
- 5:38 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: to get back on track
- 5:38 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: we need to have the ability to pick up more mods if we need to
- 5:38 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: because we feel it is necessary
- 5:38 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: because no one
- 5:38 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: and i do mean no one
- 5:38 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: you already have more than enough dana, of ALL the things you both are complaining about, the only one who you cant do is decide numbers of mods added
- 5:38 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: knows more about what this site needs in terms of staff and hours put in than me and tyrant
- 5:39 PM - Tyrant Mouf: It's not specifically about numbers Leon
- 5:39 PM - Tyrant Mouf: This is all going way over your head
- 5:39 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: 5:38 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: we need to have the ability to pick up more mods if we need to
- 5:39 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: numbers of mods to me
- 5:39 PM - Tyrant Mouf: It's about the fact that we want that same trust to make those types of decisions because we have earned them time and again.
- 5:39 PM - Tyrant Mouf: Even something like number of mods.
- 5:39 PM - Tyrant Mouf: If we decide we need more mods, we get more mods.
- 5:39 PM - Tyrant Mouf: That simple.
- 5:40 PM - Tyrant Mouf: We know the community back to front by now as far as the site goes.
- 5:40 PM - Tyrant Mouf: Cause we're doing this every day.
- 5:40 PM - Tyrant Mouf: So we deserve that decision making power.
- 5:40 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: i went away on a business trip
- 5:40 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: and i was STILL modding the site
- 5:40 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: while i was away
- 5:40 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: i went on vacation for a week
- 5:40 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: and i was still checking in on the site.
- 5:40 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: and doing my part
- 5:41 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: less frequently than when i am home, but still doing it.
- 5:42 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: like i already told 1000 times, im making the big decisions on the site, you both has enough decision power, and like i just demonstrate, you both thought u had less deicision somehow
- 5:42 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: im very flexible with both of you when it comes to big decisions
- 5:42 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: and i think u both know that
- 5:42 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: so again
- 5:42 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: i dont see a problem here
- 5:42 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: maybe some lack of communication
- 5:42 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: cause like i said
- 5:42 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: you both thought that u had less decision power
- 5:43 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: we will get to lack of communication eventually
- 5:43 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: not going to have that conversation if we havent come to a decision on whether or not we are staying
- 5:43 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: because you have in no way convinced me that we dont deserve that right and that decision making
- 5:43 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: you havent given us a rational reason against it
- 5:44 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: you just repeat that you want that decision making power
- 5:44 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: well dana, if u both wanna leave cause u cant decide by yourself how many mods we are getting, or another owner/head admin decisions
- 5:44 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: its ur call dana
- 5:44 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: which is the dumbest thing i have heard since we have proven over and over again that me and tyrant know the most about it
- 5:44 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: omg you are still stuck on the number of mods.
- 5:44 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: leon
- 5:44 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: we are communicating a concern to you
- 5:44 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: we gave you one example
- 5:44 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: of how to fix that concern
- 5:44 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: you are stuck on the example
- 5:45 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: and not focused on the major issue
- 5:45 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: which is our concern
- 5:45 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: dana
- 5:45 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: ur not understanding
- 5:45 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: i already prooved that the only thing of ALL you are complaining about
- 5:45 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: yes
- 5:45 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: that u cant do
- 5:45 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: is THAT example
- 5:46 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: and u are basically telling me that ur leaving
- 5:46 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: so tell me
- 5:46 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: no leon
- 5:46 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: you are not listening
- 5:46 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: you don't want to understand
- 5:46 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: so you arent listening.
- 5:46 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: give me
- 5:46 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: 1 good reason
- 5:46 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: that me and tyrant shouldnt have full decision making power
- 5:47 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: when it comes to mods and community managers
- 5:47 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: that includes but is not limited to
- 5:47 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: number of mods at any given time on the site.
- 5:47 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: which are mods and which are community managers
- 5:47 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: promoting and demoting within those 2 staff groups
- 5:47 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: assigning their roles on the site
- 5:48 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: and any and all other decisions that have to do with how this site is moderated and run
- 5:48 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: since it has been proven beyond any argument to the contrary
- 5:48 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: that the only 2 people
- 5:48 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: qualified to make those decisions
- 5:48 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: are me and tyrant
- 5:48 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: big decisions are made by me dana, you already have enough decision power
- 5:48 PM - Tyrant Mouf: See Leon
- 5:48 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: give me more examples of decisions you would want to make
- 5:48 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: see.
- 5:48 PM - Tyrant Mouf: The problem is
- 5:49 PM - Tyrant Mouf: you're downsizing our problem because you're sticking to the statement that you are the boss and you make those calls
- 5:49 PM - Tyrant Mouf: even after we have presented you with proof and examples of things we need
- 5:49 PM - Tyrant Mouf: EXAMPLES

- 5:53 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: how many hours a mod is required to work a day

- 6:20 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: 5 of them

- 5:53 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: i gave you them

- 5:54 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: and continued
- 5:54 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: see
- 5:54 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: the only one is... how many mods
- 5:54 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: now i know YOU are not listening
- 5:54 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: because the first thing i listed
- 5:54 PM - Tyrant Mouf: Leon
- 5:54 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: we have no decision over.
- 5:54 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: 5:54 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: cause ur listing stuff where you have ALL decision power
- 5:54 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: and continued
- 5:54 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: see
- 5:54 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: the only one is... how many mods
- .0
- 5:54 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: let me write the next time dana
- 5:54 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: thats a problem
- 5:54 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: u need to let ppl write
- 5:55 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: so u can read
- 5:55 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: 5:53 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: ok, so now im sure that u didnt read what i said above
- 5:55 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: and with this
- 5:55 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: i mean
- 5:55 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: when i said that you can fire and hire ppl
- 5:55 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: that u could get choco fired without me
- 5:56 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: listing those things let me know that u are not listening
- 5:56 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: you can keep with the list
- 5:56 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: and im pretty sure it would be the same
- 5:56 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: listing things where u already have 100% deciision power
- 5:56 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: only one with trouble is the numbers of mod
- 5:57 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: what brings me again to the question... this is all about that?
- 5:57 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: is that why ur leaving?
- 5:57 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: as i have already discussed
- 5:57 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: cause everything else is already clear
- 5:57 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: the fact that we had to ask your permission about the choco firing
- 5:57 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: and the fact that we had to have ameeting and ask everyones permission
- 5:57 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: about the choco firing
- 5:57 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: means that this decision IS NOT mine and tyrants
- 5:57 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: it means it is EVERYONES decision
- 5:58 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: ok
- 5:58 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: can we consider that understood now?
- 5:58 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: look
- 5:58 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: or do i need to make it more clear?
- 5:58 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: this is what i think about that move dana
- 5:58 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: i mean
- 5:58 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: the choco firing move
- 5:58 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: when u made a meeting for that
- 5:59 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: 1. Aces... aces responsability on the site is limited, i know the decisions that aces can handle, and firing someone is something that i wouldnt ask for him
- 5:59 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: so asking him was kind of stupid
- 6:00 PM - Tyrant Mouf: We listed the responsibilities cause you asked us to. That's besides the major issue though Leon. I'll make it plain as day for you. It is NOT about the number of mods Leon. Even if it wasn't the number of mods and instead was some other decision, the main issue does not change. That issue is the fact that we do all the work on this site and we simply want more decision making power because we deserve it. We don't want to have to run anything by anyone because no one else has to. Even you. We'd run it all by you because you are the owner and still our boss, but that doesn't mean you dictate the decisions, because you wouldn't be able to. Because you do not do the work we do. You don't know the terrain like we do so to speak. This is the problem. You are further making it more severe by downsizing our issue and sticking to an example we made. However, we could have made the example anything else. It is merely an example. So please stick with the main point.
- 6:00 PM - Tyrant Mouf: It is not us saying that you do not do enough work.
- 6:01 PM - Tyrant Mouf: It's us saying that you can't make those decisions because you do not do that specific work we do.
- 6:01 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: ok tyrant... thats why im asking, if its such a BIG problem, then i can take care of that if u want
- 6:01 PM - Tyrant Mouf: Therefore the decision should lie with the ones who do that work.
- 6:01 PM - Tyrant Mouf: Us.
- 6:01 PM - Tyrant Mouf: Not you.
- 6:01 PM - Tyrant Mouf: We would let you know of our decision of course.
- 6:01 PM - Tyrant Mouf: But the decision would already be made.
- 6:02 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: let me finish the choco firing thing
- 6:02 PM - Tyrant Mouf: You're free to throw in some input, but the decision should still be in our ballpark.
- 6:02 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: and ill answer ur question
- 6:02 PM - Tyrant Mouf: Sure go ahead.
- 6:02 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: so well... 2. i wasnt there and even if i was there, i would say just... ok
- 6:02 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: so basically
- 6:02 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: that decision is YOURS
- 6:02 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: and im telling you right now
- 6:03 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: those deicisions are YOURS
- 6:03 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: so... problem here?
- 6:03 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: lack of communication
- 6:03 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: u didnt know that u could make that decision
- 6:03 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: now
- 6:03 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: tyrant
- 6:03 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: again
- 6:05 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: your decision power is pretty big, and it gonna stay like that, maybe now that u understand that u have 100% deicison power on 99% of the list you gave me its gonna be better
- 6:05 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: but decision power of you and dana, is staying the same
- 6:05 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: just understand that u are listing stuff where u already have 100% decision power
- 6:05 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: and thats my decision
- 6:06 PM - Tyrant Mouf: No Leon, it isn't about the specific decision. The fact is that you are denying us decision making power on something that makes no sense to deny it on
- 6:06 PM - Tyrant Mouf: and you list no reason for doing so.
- 6:06 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: tyrant
- 6:06 PM - Tyrant Mouf: What good does that do us Leon?
- 6:06 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: you guys have enough decision power
- 6:06 PM - Tyrant Mouf: None. It makes our job take longer, thus making our job harder because other things pend as well
- 6:06 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: is not
- 6:07 PM - Tyrant Mouf: Okay leon
- 6:07 PM - Tyrant Mouf: Tell me why you won't let us have as much decision making power as we need?
- 6:07 PM - Tyrant Mouf: PleasE?
- 6:07 PM - Tyrant Mouf: Please*
- 6:07 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: both of you came here asking for decision power on stuff where you already had 100%
- 6:07 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: no we didnt. we established we dont have 100%
- 6:07 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: already have the decision making power u need
- 6:07 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: maybe more
- 6:07 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: remember
- 6:07 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: cant choose how many mods = not 100%
- 6:08 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: you said that yourself.
- 6:08 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: i mean 100% decision power on THOSE stuff
- 6:08 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: means that u can totally fire a mod
- 6:08 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: not 100% of the list
- 6:08 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: its obvious dana
- 6:08 PM - Tyrant Mouf: And to reiterate, it isn't about not being able to do that specific thing, it's about the fact that this specific thing is being denied to us EVEN THOUGH we deal with that kind of thing firsthand
- 6:08 PM - Tyrant Mouf: in other words placing an obstacle and giving no reason at all so far as to why
- 6:09 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: like i said, i can take care of that if you guys think that u are too limited to run that
- 6:09 PM - Tyrant Mouf: How?
- 6:09 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: thats actually my question... how do you think ur too limited
- 6:09 PM - Tyrant Mouf: Would you let us have the final word on that?
- 6:09 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: no
- 6:09 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: i mean
- 6:10 PM - Tyrant Mouf: That's where the problem is.
- 6:10 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: i can take care of that job, if u think ur too limited to run that
- 6:10 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: thats the problem right there. that this needs to be explained to you
- 6:10 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: means that the decision
- 6:10 PM - Tyrant Mouf: But Leon
- 6:10 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: should be in our hands and not yours
- 6:10 PM - Tyrant Mouf: You can't
- 6:10 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: why i cant?
- 6:10 PM - Tyrant Mouf: In order to make that decision you have to do the tasks we do
- 6:10 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: exactly
- 6:10 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: and u think i cant?
- 6:10 PM - Tyrant Mouf: You have to see the situation first hand
- 6:10 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: we arent saying you cant
- 6:10 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: so?
- 6:10 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: we are saying youy DONT
- 6:11 PM - Tyrant Mouf: We're saying you don't.
- 6:11 PM - Tyrant Mouf: We do.
- 6:11 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: ya, cause i gave you guys that job
- 6:11 PM - Tyrant Mouf: Which is why we should be able to handle it.
- 6:11 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: EXACTLY

- 6:11 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: and u CAN handle it
- 6:11 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: if you wanted these decisions
- 6:11 PM - Tyrant Mouf: It's EXACTLY why we should handle it Leon.
- 6:11 PM - wuvs [dota2traders.com]: you should have done the job yourself!
- 6:11 PM - Tyrant Mouf: You just said why yourself.
- 6:12 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: ok
- 6:12 PM - Leon [dota2traders.com]: look
