We, the Folding@Home contributor community, are united in our desire to have the Folding Forum moderator, 7im, relieved of his duties at the Folding Forum. Time and time again, 7im's antics towards Folding@Home contributors have been insulting, condescending, and completely contrary to the respect and appreciation which should be shown towards a voluntary community. Everyone from the casual user who has just begun to contribute to the leading point producer in the world have been attacked. We know that his attitude and actions at the Folding Forum are detrimental to the project and have cost the project many users over the years he has been a moderator.

7im's antics are not limited to the Folding Forum where he holds the authority of a moderator. 7im also has a history of taking his bullying methods on the road to other teams forums. In these other forums, he will continue to talk down to users while implying authority there as well. He will also make demands and give orders at these other forums. And no matter how many times he is asked to comply with forum rules, stop implying authority, and stop the attacks, he will not be deterred.

If You are a contributor to the Folding@Home project, and share our view on 7im, I encourage you to sign this petition. Whether or not anything comes of this, we will still have our desires heard. These actions are very detrimental to the project and will continue to cost the project contribution.

62 16 May 2008 - 21:45    Graham.Abbott : There is no doubt 7im puts in enormous effort. That said, his assumed authority and arrogance no doubt discourage new and long time folders alike. His visits to other forums where he frequently flouts those forum's rules and convey authority he does not posses are also detrimental, and make a mockery of his demands for people to obey forum rules on the FCF.
61 16 May 2008 - 18:45    100fuegos : he is a jerk
60 16 May 2008 - 3:03    tired [OCAU] : If you really care about the F@H project, imagine how the perception and participation of folding would improve if people felt respected for their efforts and appreciated for their contribution; which is voluntary and the backbone of the project.

56 15 May 2008 - 21:38    Nater : He needs to go.
55 15 May 2008 - 18:08    jgold : I hate to be negative because I believe he's really trying to help. His methods however tend to alienate rather than encourage. Perhaps he should not be in a position of authority until he learns better people skills.OTOH, he did post a link in the MaximumPC forum that pointed to this petition. That shows he should at least be open to suggestions. Maybe the results will cause him to reflect on his actions.

38 15 May 2008 - 3:24    Jon855 [H]ard|Forum : I agree with this petition, even though I have not been to FCF, but his actions towards other folders at various forums has been nothing but childish. It is time that he is removed as a moderator over there at FCF
