As in, for something they did and not because they voluntarily stepped down and didn't want to be a mod anymore.

It has happened in a few cases. Usually the mod gets fed up with the site and wants to go out with a bang.

Most of us were just "Eh, I'm done."

Literally 89% of dem

The vast majority of mods just step down due to not having the time, or interest in doing it anymore.

I remember a few years ago there was so no-name mod that got buttflustered in an argument and started using private info to try to win. Someone linked the topic that they were doing it on to CE and they got demodded within a few hours. Then he came over here and made a public apology for being such a nerd.

One mod said something racist against black people and got demodded. It was either The Admiral or Basemen. I forget which.

It was baseman. And not because he was saying racist shit (like come on, Addy didn't get demodded for that either), it was because he was making a spectacle out of it.

That was a newbie in like their week or so I believe? The absolute best part is that he didn't even read the page right and gave incorrect info anyway. The attempt to post usermap info, even if done wrong, was more than enough to get instantly booted from the team though.

There was a mod on the LoL boards that did something controversial. My memory is a little fuzzy on the subject.

Looks like most frequently it happens because of sharing mod only information. The baseman thing was an anomaly.

Baseman posted something racist, he was told that it was not acceptable. His response to being told that is why he was demodded.

Yeah bover got demodded because he had actually used an account he stole to become a mod.

Admins sure tried their hardest to ignore that situation though, holy shit.

When the information about that made it to the administration they reviewed it and then demodded him and closed the account he stole. I don't see how you can say they tried to ignore it. The site can't have someone who stole an account be a mod for quite obvious reasons.

I sure as shit wish he didn't do it though as he was good at the actual modding part. =P

I'm honestly not satisfied with the resolution to that mess. It was essentially an admission of deliberately ignoring the account sharing rule in some cases but whatever.

Yeah but it took weeks and Krystal kept shutting down almost all discussion regarding it. I don't know when Allen stepped into it but from a user perspective it was handled fairly poorly.

Right, but she was part of "the administration" and was actively an antagonist to the whole thing the entire time.

Nope. An arguments she was having with Error on hellhole a while back revealed she was let go. The mods were extending professional courtesy for her, she put her foot in her mouth.

I figured that was the case all along. When Allen said Just posting only to confirm this isn't a glitch or anything, we have parted ways with Steph, it didn't sound like a positive departure.

Cant speak for her involvement on the backend, but Krystal was a little too unaware and clueless about the GameFAQs community. This was made obvious when she offered LUE access as a prize in one of the GameFAQs contests (although improbable, it was still possible to win), and kept bickering with CE for most of her time as a Community Manager.

Common sense would tell you to know the waters in which you swim, so you either test them out, or get a lifeguard to show you how to swim the waters before you attempt to do a free dive down 20 meters.
