Let me make one thing clear to anyone reading this: this is not a vote. You are free to voice your opinions on the matter, but at the end of the day this is Zero's choice.

I am here to petition you, ZeroExalted, our Administrator, to remove ComradeJ from her post as a moderator on this, the Combat Arms Wiki. I ask you to consider this proposal for two major reasons: Comrade's immature lack of respect for the rules, lack of respect for her peers and fellow moderators, and her abuse of power.

Comrade's rule breaking centers around two rules vital for this wiki: edit warring and duplicate image uploading. This example may be seen clearly on the page for the Valentine’s Day Bomb. The main image for the page was uploaded on the 23rd of January, 2014. It was a high quality image, extracted directly from the Combat Arms main site. However, only four days later Comrade uploaded a near-identical image (Same size, same quality) to the wiki, and marked the original for deletion. Even LovingKate, and Soul (Our main image provider/archiver) stated that hey could only see a minor difference between the two, but nothing definitive. Comrade, however, was persistent in her desires to see her own image as the one featured on the page, almost inciting a full out edit war on [b]three[/b] pages. When I confronted her about this she refused to see reason, and later quite childishly insisted that both images be deleted, basically gesturing, "If I can't have it, then neither can you."

When I confronted her about this, I told her many times why her image was being marked for deletion, and even offered solutions, along with Soul, in the form of the 'rename' template. She refused to listen. I pointed out that there was no discernable difference between our images, and that mine being the first, hers was the original. She refused to listen. I warned her many times to cease her activities in inciting edit wars. She refused to listen. Simply put, Comrade does not have any respect for her fellow moderators, made all the worse seeing as you personally stated that Blue and I were to be the 'Senior Officers' to the newer moderators. Despite this seniority, Comrade found it amusing to ban me on erroneous and capricious reasons.

During the course of our appeal to you to intervene in this, Comrade stated her point, and I stated mine. She stated her other points, and I stated mine. However, after she failed to come up with any more rebuttals to my points, she decided to, and to put it in a metaphor, swipe all of the chess pieces off of the board, stating that if I were to respond further that she would ban me. Keep in mind that this was on your wall that she was telling me not to respond, not on hers. I responded, rebutting her previous argument, and stating that she had no authority to ban someone for leaving a comment on a thread, let alone on a wall that was not hers. Keep in mind also that she was only targeting me, again showing a clear lack of respect for her fellow moderators, and not others. In fact, when Soul and Kate responded past her line she did nothing. Of course, all of this goes past the larger points - she does not have the authority to do this. One has a level of sovereignty over only their own walls. One cannot tell people to stop a thread on someone else’s (unless it violates the rules), only their own. Yet Comrade apparently thought that she had the authority to stop just one person from rebutting her arguments on another person’s wall.

Comrade has shown a complete disregard, not only for the rules, but also for her fellow moderators, disregarding them when they warn her of her infractions. More seriously, she has abused her powers to target individuals who are arguing against her on a wall that was not hers. For these reasons, I propose and recommend the immediate removal of ComradeJ from her position as a moderator on the Combat Arms Wiki.
