This isn't the time to attack each other. Yeah Jizo hasn't been too active lately. But at the same time, if we didn't try to contact him about things that were getting out of hand, it's our fault too.

I personally thought that whatever situation was popping up, the other mods and myself managed it. I never saw an issue that wasn't being remedied by a mod. The stuff with QuakingStar was pretty bad, but then again other mods and myself kept at it. He ended up improving his behaviour a little when he came back too, it's not nearly as bad as it used to be. Maybe some fault is on Jizo for not being as active as an Op should be, but if something was seriously wrong in the forums and he wasn't aware, then we should've been the ones to bring it to his attention. We didn't. Partly because maybe we thought he was inactive, but I also think partly because we thought we had it covered.

But this isn't the discussion for Jizo's activity in the forums. This is a discussion that boils down to whether or not all the discussion mods can be trusted with the power to highlight threads.

@Saru - I think this user definitely can handle it. I've never seen an instance that made me doubt their judgement.

@Curse of Hatred - This is one of the most level headed mods too. They'd never do anything against forum policy if they knew it was wrong.

@Rachin - This user knows exactly when this ability should be used, and I have no doubt whatsoever that they'd only highlight things when they're meant to be highlighted.

@Elve - same as above. Even if Elve sometimes seems a little hostile in the forums, they know what should and shouldn't be highlighted, and you can't exactly highlight something in a "hostile" manner anyways.

@Jizo - despite not being on as much lately, it's not like he's about to go highlight random stuff. He knows the limits of this position. He wouldn't abuse the ability.

Me - Personally I would probably never use this ability. Everyone highlights things before I even see them. But If I ever see a thread that I think should maybe be highlighted, I'd simply ask. Or if it was like an episode discussion, I'd just do it.

And we all have the ability to un-highlight threads

If something is highlighted and it shouldn't be, we simply un-highlight it and let the mod know why it shouldn't be highlighted. This discussion shouldn't be so hard to resolve.

Let's not fling mud at each other. If any mods have an issue with Jizo's performance as an op, bring it to a different consensus thread, where I personally will not participate.
