F22 Raptor removed from 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.

I don't want to go against you Weaver, but this has been proven to be untrue so many times.

Deluge got warned by Reaver for TWD squad spamming earlier that day.
The ban F22 put on Deluge was for the same reason, since he didn't stop with it.

He got warned for an offence, then banned.

I'd like to see some inmistakeable evidence. Untill that point then this axe was shadowy and doubtful at best.

I can agree that F22's behaviour around the ban wasn't that good, but we've seen several rightful banned being issued in unproffesional circumstances before, and this has never warranted an axe.

Where's the evidence we were promised in this thread? Now the axe smells even more fishy.

Why would such a dedicated staffer, with a spotless record, suddenly do something he'd KNOW he'd get axed for? It doesn't make sense.
If the logs of a notorious TW criminal is the only thing you have to back up the axe with then this entire situation gets even more fishy.

that sucks, oh well welcome to the intraweb, gl f22

Since everyone has to always act like it's a top secret, he was axed for banning Deluge after he axed him from Sake.

F22 is a good guy, but this was a dumb move. Even still, if this was all that he's done, I think he should have got a second chance.

Well said Weaver. And for those who didnt know. F22 had his birthday on the 8th. I wish him a better year! And hope that He will remember that he has touched many of our lives. Be it in game or IRL, and that he WILL be missed.

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.
