At least the spelling and grammar is correct, though. |

He should have had a comma after feedback, but yes. |

oh yes, clearly his conduct of judging something before trying it is inapropria- .. .. damn... I was hopping to site some area where you prejudged something, but I'm not willing to go through 50 pages to do it. My intuition tells me your human... but I'm not willing to back it up. you win this round.

ehh, what he did isn't great, but if you ask me the problem here is simply that he said something, without downloading. How can you really truly make any for of critique or judgment before you even try? The problem i see is that the people who start hooting about a mod before they play it are just as guilty as the people who flame a mod before they play it. Both are making unsound judgments. Personally i don't blame someone for not wanting to be flamed... annnd i don't blame someone for changing their mind based on evidence to the contrary. In fact i think the only time people are REALLY at fault is when they do something that they would not want have happen to them. unspoken hypocrites you might say. or maybe i've misinterpreted your post? Did you mean to say that because a number of people contradicted him, he changed his opinion rather then stand up for it? |

He posted negative comments without having even downloaded the mod. |

Positive feedback doesn't make people angry. Constructive criticism is helpful. |

Ladies and gentlemen, I believe we have just found our cause of Grif losing his modship. Also I think that if someone doesn't think a mod looks interesting, then he may not download it, furthermore, they can criticise it, if for example, they believe the mod has bad sprites, and make this judgement based opon the pictures of said mod, but they may not say "this mod sucks!" or "I hate this mod" without testing it first. That 'tis all.

Actually the reason I was demodded is because I was (quoth our resident speech-impaired administrator) "fighting with Daman" despite the fight being in Mod Chat, already OVER by the time he saw it, and also not an impact on my ability to moderate whatsoever. I do however think you qualify for the "totally missed the sarcasm" award. |

It turns out that wasn't even the last opinion he provided prior to actually testing that mod. |
