You talk about more adult friendly community, however, your kind of behaviour is exactly the opposite of mature:
Harassing other people, firestarting in threads for "funny drama", throwing around memes in inappropriate situations, passive-aggresive posts.
Furthermore, if many staff seem to take action against what you do perhaps it's time to look at your own behaviour. Throwing a tantrum and starting a witchhunt in this thread based on no evidence at all is incredibly immature behaviour.
You have it the wrong way around, you
assume and look for things blame me on. I literally cleaned up 1 thread in the last month which by other has been called justified; people were getting upset and discussion was hindered because of posts made by endersteve and Aqua. Clearly you can all someone a biased moderator on 1 time,
even if the post wasn't justified for deletion it's still not a worthy case against me.
What I think rather is the case, that you are biased against me. I've been harassed by goons from that skype group before over things I have said in
staff forums. I can play the quote game too, and these seem way more biased reactions around the situation of 1 cleaned up thread:
Vatu, I thought I made this clear last night. You are an asshole. And this isn't coming just from me, I know a good 20-30 people who are still active in this community (most whoa ren't even in the lol or skype groups) that think that also. So instead of convincing yourself that we're all dicks trying to ruin the communtiy why don't you just stop and look at yourself. Maybe people would actually like you if you used your power for them, rather than against them.

[19:20:07] Adam / Aqua: so tempted to type
[19:20:09] Adam / Aqua: @vatu hi
[19:20:09] Oskar Samuel | Ender: we were discussing eurovision at some point
[19:20:15] Oskar Samuel | Ender: do it Hunter

For a long time we've been respectful of your opinions but sadly you guys have never shown the same respect to us. If you want to post memes and jokes that's all fine. But everytime something community/minecraft something negative or stuff to intentionally start drama is posted. Every forum I've ever been to has stuff rules about
constructive critism. Sometimes even destructive critism. All you guys do is post memes and
UNconstructive critism which pisses people off and are allowed to be removed if it's best for the discussion. I'll make a post regarding constructive and unconstructive critism sometime in the upcoming days.
Moderators are there for a reason, and using technicalities about the rules is dumb. We're chosen for this rank to have the judgment over whether posts deserve to be deleted/warned or not. Sure, if moderators go overboard by all means collect proof and send it to head staff, or if it's really the highest staff then post it on the forums, but based on 1 case you can't possibly say that
just because you dislike me. Sure everyone has an opinion but just because there are 2 sides doesn't mean both are equally right, that's why there are staff members to decide what is acceptable.
I've been here for over 5 and a half year and have staffed in every version (TheOne, BT, ER) and I'm still trying my ass off to make things works, and things have been going way better the last half year. You may pretend to still care about the community but it seems you are here just to have fun with a group of people. If you really did care you would look up with constructive critism and use it rather than to meme/drama everything to death. Perhaps it's better to cut 30% of the toxic people out before we can really better again, even if it costs some forum activity now.
I'm not gonna waste much more time here as many of you are simply impossible to reason with, if you have legit questions feel free to ask. I think all members involved in this tantrum should not hold a staff position anymore and if they are not willing to behave like decent people on the forums, they should be banned after a while.
