Stevie said it was OK to talk about his situation, so here it is. Normally, we would not talk about details about someone, but in this case permission was given.

The issues with Stevie as a moderator has been under review for awhile.

Mostly it has to do with language on many boards all over the BrainKing site. Most of the time when he uses foul language, he knows it is wrong and is just waiting for another moderator or Global Moderator to remove it. This is not how a moderator - someone who was picked to help represent this site should act.

The "word" in question is just the last straw. This "word" was something he just got hidden/baned for using the day before, so he KNEW it was something he should not use on a public board. Even knowing all this, he posted using this "word" on the board he moderator - I guess hoping that it would not get edited/removed since it was on a board he moderates.

His post with this "word" which he already knew there was an issue with was removed by a moderator. At this point, the discussion went on with the Global moderators - and it was basicly a "last straw" type of thing - where Stevie purposly posted this "word" already knowing that he should not post it. At this time, the Global Moderators agreed that he should not be representing this site as a moderator, and he was removed from his moderating duties.

And even though this "word", many people may not have a problem with - this is a global site so sometimes what does not bother one person can bother another. And I can see if he was not warned about it first - but he was just hidden/banned for using this same "word" the day before. So he KNEW he should not be using this word on the public boards. Again, he KNEW he should not be using that "word" on a public board.

Again, Stevie gave permission to talk about his issue.
