Woooow. What an absolutely spineless decision.

So, not only are you gonna keep the guy who abused his power on the mod team, you are now essentially only punishing the person who was wrongfully kicked in the first place?

You do realize, that Sleek basically just exposed Triple for the absolute f**king clown he is, and you are STILL keeping him on the mod team, and are essentially going to wash your hands off of this entire situation, moving on as if nothing happened?

If you truly cared about the "witchhunting problem" you would've removed the original post immediately, and continued to solve it internally. Instead you let the post gather 2000 upvotes, where most of you say that you agree with Sleek.

Absolutely incredible. Shame on all of you.

Look snuffle, I don't know what to say to you. I know nothing I say can change your mind but we are really trying to be fair and bring an objective decision. Triple does so much behind the scenes for the community, and losing him would lose a lot of spirit. I know it's hard to believe that as he comes off as prick often, but he really cares.

The post stayed up because we didn't want to make it out for her to be censored. Do know that before posting, she consulted with some people on the mod team and it was explained to her that her post is valid, but witchunting people personally isn't okay and would likely lead to the events we are in now. She knew what the consequences of a public attack on a person would be, and decided to go with it, which is also partly why we kept up. If she was so determined, she had a right for her post to stay up.

In short, Triple doesn’t get punished for his actions but multiple people who have been unfairly unmodded or banned stay that way. Yikes

Triple's punishment was to lose his executive status. He now has no power to kick anyone, literally. However, he does care about the community greatly and strives to improve it as he knows how, which is why we kept him.

Sleek, while originally a victim of Triple's impulse decision to kick her, didn't act as we'd want a moderator to act. I do not wish to badmouth anyone, as I feel like everyone's trying their best at all times, but there was a plethora of better ways to handle the situation, unrelated to Triple.

This doesn't even seem like the bare minimum to be frank. You're going to keep someone with a track history for abuse on the moderation team while leaving the punishment in place for the victim. I understand you're saying there are other internal matters affecting this decision, but you can't just expect us to accept that with the circumstances. That doesn't invite confidence or feel transparent. It feels like just doing something on a whim to shut people up.

I understand the place you're coming from. This decision was not made lightly, and definitely not to "shut people up", as it's a very controversial one, and we knew that. We discussed this for more than 5 hours today and came to what we think is a fair solution. If you have any questions about the decision process, feel free to ask.

If you ask me, after seeing how certain parties behaved upon our decision, I feel it was the right one.

Hey Savvy, I'll be happy to reply to any problems you might have with our decision. I know Triple has done you wrong in the past, however I'd encourage you to ask publically (or privately, whatever you prefer) on what your issues are with our decision so I can try to explain our viewpoint.

Triple should have been ousted fully. He abused his power and clearly didnt care about your input or opinions- he doesnt deserve a seat on the table anymore. As for his victim(s) , they deserve more of an apology than “ sorry he did that, he be crazy lol” . Keeping him in a position of relative power is still a slap in the face to everyone he’s wronged. For shame, all of you

He did abuse his power and ignored our opinions, that's true. And we were all incredibly mad when we found out. Therefore his punishment was to no longer have that tool available to him. But its really hard to miss how much work the guy does. He is the first one to organise stuff for the community when the need arises and he really cares about it. He knows when he's in the wrong and is rude to someone, and is something that he takes criticism for and tries to improve himself on. That's why he's still in the mod team.

On the other hand, Sleek went the wrong way about this. She should've criticised Triple for what he did, and not bring up unrelated, completely consensual interactions between those two. There's extra stuff behind the scenes but I wish not to comment on them in the current time.

We really do try our best and we thought about this for soooo long. We really try to be as fair as possible.

It's really more than that. Triple was demoted significantly, and is being reevaluated for his actions. However, him "acting like a creep" is not a valid point to make. Their relationship was at all times consensual so we cannot accept that as a point.

As for Sleek, we aren't "taking her back" because she exposed him. The way she went about it was wrong, and lead to him getting threats.

Personally, I really don't agree with this. While on the mod team, Sleek was having issues with being harrased, and she was given special permissions by Triple so she could avoid that harrasement. However, she is now the one to direct harrasement back to him which honestly isn't quite fair. Constructive criticism is welcome and needed, but witchhunting is wrong.

I'll try to reply to as many people as I can before I go to sleep, but I wanna make a quick statement here.

I know how this may seem from the outside, but we did what we thought is fair based on all evidence we have. What sleek provided was her part of the story, but there are a lot of factors that went into this decision. In total, we spent about 5+ hours today talking about it without Triple or Sleek. We spent a lot of our time trying to reach a solution that is fair.

Now I'll say my personal opinions. Sleek was a good mod. BUT, so is Triple. Triple screwed up, big time, by removing Sleek. His punishment was that he no longer has an option to do so, at all. He is at the bottom of the mod list, which means he can only kick SmiteRobot if he wanted to. However, he does care about the community. He is the first one to organise community events around the sub when needed.

Sleek, on the other hand, is also a really good mod. However, what lead us to thi...

This was specifically designed in response to a reddit thread that listed these exact gods where people were angry they didnt get a skin.

Its specifically gods who didnt get a skin in S7 - its not really meant to apply to "low skin count gods" as a whole - thats could have been written better on my part

we know the difference.
