F22 Raptor was removed from his SMOD position on the 6th of February for abuse of his powers. I won't go into the details of the situation as I'm sure those of you who are interested in what happened have already found out.
I would like to say a few words in response to the active forum threads on the subject.
F22 spent nearly 4 years on staff without a hitch. Almost every map that has been put up in TW over the last few months went through his hands first for review. He was a pleasure to work with, and I think most everyone would agree with me when I say he has been an asset to staff. Considering what he has given to the zone over these past few years made the decision to remove him all the more difficult.
Unfortunately for F22, and as hard as it may be for some of you staff critics to believe, we do take staff abuse seriously, particularly when an SMOD is involved. F22 did not only a disservice to the community, but also to the staffers that he has worked closely with over the past few months. In a staff composed entirely of anonymous volunteers, we rely on trust and honesty. If we can't trust or believe you, then how can we be expected to continue working with you? Trust and honesty are the keys to a functioning staff. It's not about what you've done for the zone in the past; it's about what you do every day you login.
All things considered, we should not be quick to forget the time and effort F22 has put into staff over the years. I wish you the best of luck in the future F22 and I hope you stick around in TW.
