Lanny has already shown he can't be trusted with any kind of authority. I mean, what mod bans a member who has broken no rules over three thousand times just because that member has an opinion or thought that creates personal butthurt? I mean, if the person was spamming or flooding or posting PI or CP, the sure, ban that person. But reading a person's post and not agreeing with it and whipping out the handy mod control panel to "take care of that person" is simply the height of abuse of authority, not to mention incredibly lame. This is what Lanny did. Regardless of his technical knowledge, Lanny has the mindset that killed both &Totse and Zoklet. He has proven time and again to be a real lousy person to give any authority to. His own "friends" booted him off the staff and even went as far as to ban his lame ass right off the site permanently. And you want this proven loser to have a staff control panel here?? Riiiight.
DaGuru and Slave of the Beast are the best mod material you could ever get for this place, and yet they are looked over. That is an incredibly stupid move and only hurts this place. Here we are discussing known and proven power abusers like Lanny, while members with everything it takes to be a great staff member and more are looked down upon? Makes no sense! But I guess that's par for the course for this dysfunctional and backwards community, so I guess it should come as no big surprise really.
