Howdy.

As Gabe said, he discussed Laced's addition to the website team with the other admins. As admins, we can see every post deleted and warns given by Laced, so if there's an issue, you can be sure we will bring it up with Gabe. Website moderator does not have very much power now since it's not the same position as before. From what I can tell and from what I've heard, Laced has been doing a good job as TTT staff which is one of the reasons why I gave my OK for him to be a web mod. If it turns out that Laced selectively removes posts he doesn't like or shows favoritism, then I'll certainly change my stance, but he just started in the position and so far I haven't seen anything that's a problem.

Gabe has made it clear that he would like certain threads to consist of good discussion rather than being overloaded with shitposting and comments deliberately designed as bait to derail threads. It's clear that some threads that are less serious will have "looser" moderation.

Your comment wasn't removed because you don't like that Laced was promoted, but in the manner that you expressed it.
If you had said something such as "I don't agree with this, here's why. 1. yada yada yada. 2. yada yada yada...", then it would still be up. I, for one, like examples when someone says something since as PH staff, I only loosely pay attention to past stuff from other parts of the community. It helps me form a better opinion.

Thanks Buttons. Also, you can always DM me with concerns you have, I'll make sure to listen.

EDIT: also I like what Bryan said. Good food for thought about how posts are removed.
