We all know Sarah. Lesbian Fox, Invalid Scrabble Move, (´･ω･`), Temmington, Businesscat, etc.

She quit. Once again.

Now, is a person like this a good Moderator? Keep in mind that I personally haven't seen every single moment, but these are some tiny snippets that hint that every time she quits, it is because things aren't going exactly how she would like them to go.

First image, taken in April 21th:

Is this the behavior of a Moderator? To call the whole chat "fuckers", and saying it is going to shit isn't an example of goode Moderatorship. It is true that in that moment the chat was, as an user said, "imbecilic", but that doesn't change a thing. A Moderator is supposed to be calm during times like that, and lead towards fixing the problems that may be happening in that moment. This is not calm.

She was hereby warned of this behavior by LOLSKELETONS.

Next incident: May 17th

Chat was there, okay, the usual. I can't say I remember exactly what was going on that day. Then...stuff progressively got more heated, as Sarah started overusing caps lock, coupled with ASCII. Keep in mind that the ASCII rule in that moment was that no ASCII was okay, andthat caps lock was used only in emphasis or in minor amounts.

Sarah posted line after line after line of caps lock. She disregarded my warnings, and ignored the complaints of at least another three users who said that excessive caps lock was annoying and that she should stop. She continued. Finally, after who knows how many attempts of asking her to stop, she ended with a two hours ban, given by me.

Her reaction? Blanking her user page, her talk page. And leaving these messages in my talk page. This reply from JackFrost summarizes very well her behavior:

-

Sarah, you know why you were banned. First off, you were constantly spamming caps, and kept on saying things like "FUCK THE CAPS RULE!" You were also arguing about the ASCII. ASCII is ASCII. Whatever amount, it's still ASCII. And it's a ban. No matter HOW MUCH there is. And then you go on Reading's talk page, and you whine about it? Oh hell no. HELL TO THE NO. And then you blanked your page. THE FUCK?! Sarah, you deserve this ban. Just face the facts.

Her response?

I said I quit anyways. You can all leave me the fuck alone now. (´･ω･`) 23:50, May 17, 2013 (UTC)

Again, is this the behavior of a Moderator?

It is true that Administrators and Moderators have a certain freedom in terms of how much they enforce the rules, but completely disregarding at least two, ignoring complaints and plainly refusing to stop is not good.

So she quit, and like a day later, she was back. It is true she apologized, but the point still stands.

And the most recent happening. Today:

There were two users around, breaking a rule. Sarah enforced the rules and kicked, well done! They came back and argued. So far, okay. One of the users wasn't exactly civil, but the other one was arguing in acceptable terms. Her reaction? To try to ban them for a week. I mediated and proposed to leave it as a warning. Things stopped, everything calmed down.

I came back to the chat about two hours later, and I came back to hear Sarah quit once again. I check the logs.

It looks like a discussion happened about teachers, and a handful of other minor matters. An user was kicked...I missed exactly why, so I won't meddle with that. But what isn't acceptable is her behavior when quitting. It is true that chat can make one blow the lid off, but this isn't good. Are things like these acceptable?

18:31  I quit,, bye fuckers.

18:33  Exactly why I'm fucking quitting, most of you are cunts.

18:33  And again, fuck off.

And once again she repeated her behavior from April.

This is turning into a monthly routine. Something happens, Sarah quits. She comes back. But damn it, since when is this okay?!

The constant quitting causes a lot of unnecessary drama, both from herself and the people around, including me.

So, once again, is this correct behavior for a Moderator? She was already warned, at least once. This can't continue like this.

So, opinions, people. Are you willing to give Sarah one last chance, or is it time for a more definite demotion?
