I think that this thread serves as an example of why discussions regarding applications involving the most drama-oriented area of the community are currently being held between admins. The admins’ discussion regarding Laced becoming web staff was civil and reasonable, with people who each view and associate with Laced in their own unique way. 

I think that you are right to a point. In all honesty, if this whole thing wasn't regarding a web moderator I feel as though the staff would have a much easier and 'unbiased' time dealing with the situation in the right way. I do however think that public input is insanely important --- especially when discussing key roles within the community. Maybe the next time something like this happens, and if we have more web staff, they can do a lot of the moderating of posts prior to them being made. Similar to how people with high warn %'s get moderated. It's a tough one and I commend the web staff for handling it as well as they have been able to.
