In Samm’s Defense.

Yooo, okay one thing we need to make clear, I don’t want to make any enemies from making this post. I love you dudes…Well most of you anyway :P

I was reading Nikki’s post and I was like ‘WOOOOAH! What’s up with the hating on Samm???’ I get that a lot of you didn’t agree with him being mod and don’t like what he is doing. But oi, I have talked to Samm about all this jazz and you know his side of the story is pretty much all G. I’m pretty sure he has only banned Sophie. And of course the trolls…..But you know. Sophie is like awesome but I know lotz of you dudes are like ‘SOPHIE IS A TROLLL’. Sam really isn’t ban-happy. And he also isn’t 12. I think that a lot of your prejudice against him is agist. Maybe you’re scared that Samm is so young and don’t like the idea of someone younger than you having POWER! But come on you dudes…Samm is our friend :D

Samm says that most of the issues you referred to were made up by Sophie….

I reckon we should just give him a break oi. I know you guys will be like ‘Go eat bricks Polly, you love Samm’ but you knowwww I think he is like a cool dude and he loves this site so F***ing much. Not all mods are bad people….Infact I love all thee mods…Except I don’t really know Papa bear and K very well but nevermind oiiiiii :D

Oh and this was kinda like a response to this post http://help.com/post/249085-my-rant-f...

I like sam, but the thing I don’t like is the chat room problem. like nikki said, it’s basically samm’s room, and then another room. the chat before meebo was the best except for the lag. so I have nothing against samm really, but nikki is right about some things in her post

I agree, there is nothing wrong with wanting to do the right thing by monitoring bad behavior. The people that complain are just mad that they can be renegades who run around freely to cause trouble, as some people seem to like that.

i agree too! samm is an awesome mod!! hes wanted this forever and im really glad hes finally got it =)

personally ithink everyone should stop hating on him cause he hasnt done anything wrong! its just silly little things people are making up. honestly he would never do anything that would put his modding in danger!

Samm and Dani and any mod will have critics because they have to make unpopular but (usually) necessary decisions. I like Samm too, but no need to rag on Sophie either. Sophie’s a gem in my book. An opinionated little gem, but I still think she’s great. This going back and forth isn’t going to really help. Better to just let it go. Shout Helpmod if you have a better suggestion for a chat host.

It is not Samm’s room. Not in any way. Sophie is also a mod in that room. Samm really isn’t this power crazy monster oi. He doesn’t ban everyone…And anyway most people are in the other room and Samm can’t help it that there isn’t that many mods.

Hello, I agree Samm is doing a wonderful job. But I’m curious to know…why was Sophie banned?

I couldn’t imagine her doing anything for that to happen. Will someone enlighten me please?

I never said he was banning everyone. I was agreeing with you about samm not being a horrible mod, but agreeing with nikki about the chat rooms

From what I know Sophie was spamming and making unsavory posts. Sophie has been banned many times not by Samm and she will always come back. She does do some trollish things but I love her man.

Polly, that’s free speech.

She shouldn’t be banned for that. I thought management only banned

those that grossly ignore rules.

Ever heard of the care-bear 4th Reich. Hmm, picture this…

gray bears, with black fists emblems on their bellies, wearing starched gray

uniforms and hats…

marching in strident formations…. wouldn’t that be scary?

Hmm, that is a good number of blogs. Too much time on her hands…maybe a touch of OCD, perhaps ( I suffer too ).

but otherwise just a concerned member of help.com, Samm.

I tried to click on some of those links, but they were all removed.

I think most of the posts were removed, but there were about 5-7(within say half an hour) all about the chat room. Most were closed and said to use the first post. To make the story short :D

well you banned her didnt you, all this argueing needs to stop and rules need to be set,

He has “power” over all normal users on the main site. In chat I am not quite sure what that whole situation is seeing as Sophie was made a chat mod. I thought that was only on meebo but I don’t quite know.

And polly…. RAWR! :D

I agree. This is totally prejudice. Samm is an intelligent, hardworking, compassionate person. I know him better than anyone and I didn’t support him being a mod until he actually became one…But now I think he can do it and do it well. =]

Sophie was spamming. She continues to post the same thing over and over. Mods are not always online and this gets very tedious. Samm was right in banning her. If you saw a troll spamming the same post over and over you would want them removed. So don’t be biased just because you know Sophie.

Kenneh - RAWR AT YOUR FACE! :P

I kinda agree with you there. The mod decisions were not based on anything really except who was in chat at the time helpmod was in. Chat mods I think are much worse than site mods. I think helpmod needs to spend more time ON the site, learning about it and the users rather than trying to get us all to use other sites like twitter…

You were banned for offering religious advice on posts that had nothing to do with religion if I remember right. And I believe she is already back if I recall right.

You all are discussing Sophie, and she has no recourse since she is banned…

Is this fair? or ethical?

If so, then I was treated very unfairly.
