Yep, another Demotion thread. This time for a chat moderator who has stepped over the line one too many times.

Chao has incited drama in chat and abused his moderator powers several times over the course of the past few months. This latest event, however, has crossed the line enough that something needs to be done. As you know, he had a large scuffle with me back in March, in which I intended to have a demotion thread made then, but Nick convinced me otherwise. (The resulting scuffle led to block codes on each other. I have since removed mine to make sure that his behavior can be moderated when I am in chat.) However, this time, Nick has agreed that a demotion thread is needed - Chao has once again intentionally incited drama with a user called Scorch993 after they talked about piracy. You can see the part of the conversation where Nick and I decided this here: http://prntscr.com/3fbn60

Now, Scorch had been banned for insubordination. However, he managed to turn things around, causing Nick to unban him after their conversation. http://prntscr.com/3fbnii

Nick and I both looked into it. I spoke to a certain person who reported the incident, as did he, and he spoke with Scorch and several other witnesses. Fatal Disease also has said that he seen some part of it. I in fact also have a record of the conversation between Nick and Scorch on the matter.

There is also a screencap RELATED TO the situation, which can be viewed here, after Ahri brought the situation back up. http://imgur.com/a/8kqFQ

Chao has had a good modship - at first. However, since then he has grown power hungry, and seems to think he has "immunity" to the very rules he's supposed to enforce. He has a habitual way of disrespecting and arguing with administrators who stand in this way, and he also apparently told Cas "Anyone who thinks differently can fuck off" when he was demoted by Nick for "just doing his job" (which is apparently inciting the very drama that makes chat cancerous).

The simple fact of the matter is, if this isn't enough, Let me say this: How come it was enough for Pram? Enough for any other moderator to suffer a humiliating demotion, no second chances (which I may mention, Chao recieved.)? Chao is by no means immune to the rules as any other moderator, and if they did half of what Chao has done, they wouldn't be moderators. I think that it's finally time that some justice was done.

'NOTE: Although this is a chat moderator, he is still subject to the demotion policy, which requires a thread and a community vote. As this is a community vote and discussion, please do not alter, close, remove, or delete this thread. It will be moderated.'
