    I've received quite a few emails and PMs recently regarding my decision to remove Dinobot 2 from his mod position. So, instead of answering all of those, I'll just post my reply here.

    The dismissal of Dinobot 2 wasn't a spontaneous decision in any way, it wasn't caused by a single or even a few incidents on the board. Instead, it's been building up for months and I finally had to pull the plug last week because I just couldn't tolerate his antics anymore. There have been constant abuse of mod powers and personal vendettas against certain members of this board. There have also been quite a few things behind the scenes that regular members of this board are not aware of. Not to mention that whenever people on other Jets' message boards talk about the abuse of mod powers and favoritism on this board, it's Dinobot 2's name that gets mentioned.

    I believe that moderators/admins have to be first of all reasonable and treat other members equally. This, unfortunately, wasn't the case with Dinobot 2.

    Dino was alright in my book. We broke balls but one thing... I never knew if he was joking or serious at times :lol:

    We already know about GreenMachine's penchant for crossdressing, and SundayJack's affinity for 4-legged animals, so maybe the rest is better left to the imagination....

    I agree with this decision 100% from what I've seen it's warranted.

    It was the consistent refrain of "let them eat cake" that worried me most.

    Hydro would make a good Mod, but the team of Mods seems to be about right at the moment.

    Will Dino still post?
