Goal Met!
An intolerable situation has been slowly festering on Balto Source (http://baltosource.timduru.org/balto.html), the largest fan community of the Balto cartoon movies currently on the internet. A small number of the moderators of the site have obviously lost their focus, and have been abusing their moderator authority for the past year.

Circumstantial evidence indicates that these moderators have used their positions, and their friendships with certain other members of Balto Source, to bully and harrass members whom they do not like, or with whom they have found themselves in disagreement over one issue or another. Their actions have driven members away from the site, and alienated others. And it has come to a head. It can no longer be tolerated.

Moderators are required to be fair, IMPARTIAL, and to never behave in such a way that makes other members feel unwelcome, bullied, threatened, or unfairly treated. The moment the site started to lose members because of these particular moderators, those moderators lost the respect of the membership, and it is only their tight-knit group of friends who lend them their air of popularity and insufferable egocentricities.

The members, or former members, of Balto Source who have signed this petition insist that steet, the webmaster of the site, take the only action which will resolve this situation to our satisfaction. The moderators in question, CatWhoHas14Tails and DrewTheWolf, MUST have their moderator status and positions taken from them immediately, including all special authority and site management capabilities associated with those positions. We deem them unfit to continue in their positions, as they have become too conceited, too egocentric, and too abusive. Further, they have misused their positions as moderators to bully, cajole, harrass, intimidate and hurt other members of Balto Source, and to use their friends (some of whom are also members) to join them in these unacceptable tactics and behaviors.

We expect that immediate action will be taken by steet, webmaster of Balto Source, to fulfill the conditions outlined in this petition. To, for once, stand for his members, rather than to continue to allow two moderators to continue to abuse their authority and positions while he looks the other way.

NOTE: If you wish to sign, and you are a Balto Source member (or former Balto Source member), you must provide your Balto Source member name and must confirm via your e-mail address (follow the prompts, please). It is important, for this petition, if we have valid e-mail addresses, as it will add weight to our demands. Thank you very much!

CatWhoHas14Tails swears quite alot on the site and there might be younger members who shall tell their parents and they shall complain! Also, this mod abuses Balto characters.

I do agree with taking Catwhohas14tails out of power, she does mis use her moding she banned one of my friends cause he didn't like her fics another friend as well he did a bit over with how he didn't like it but he is banned and left the site he is still banned for not liking her gay fic. Drew i'm not so sure I haven't seen her do anything real miss using but I will keep an eye out.

You are right Balto Seppella. Though I don't agree with you on alot of things, this is something you are right about. I don't think Cat is abusive, but she can sometimes get a little crazy with her mod powers

I'll sign because if this is a problem then I think it should be sorted, I've noticed 2 or 3 odd things around BS but thought nothing of it until now.

I think that Drew needs her spot taken away also, she's concieted and bratty and locks topics for no reason

Though I am friend's with both parties (Mostly Drew) I feel that they should keep their powers and or limit them for a few weeks. Because they are very nice people and I think Drew still can help with the site and be effective.

I agree with this petition very much. I have not seen Cat or Drew do any such things mentioned, BUT I am not saying they haven't. I do not think Drew is as bad ast Cat, I have actually heard more complaints about Cat than Drew. Cat I think would have been able to keep her position if she had just learned how to control her temper.

I suppose that I view this petition from a slightly hypocritical standpoint. I'm far from being a perfect mod myself, and I know that very well. I know I can do a much better job, and I'm trying to. I think it would help all of us mods to try harder. Although I've decided to sign this, I don't know if there's much of a point in signing this any more, seeing that steet has already acted upon it. He's decided that Cat is losing her position, and Drew is keeping hers.

I fully agree with this petition. The mods mentioned in the petition have indeed abused their powers beyond reason. As Sep said, some mods (Cat, Drew..etc) are using their little group to expand their jurisdiction over the entire forum. I agree with this petition fully, and will back it.

Well... I met amazing people on BS and therefore I think I need to worry about the site. I have no quarrel with cat personally, but everytime I read her rants, big headed and egoistic rants, I am really angry. I dunno why, but it seems that she thinks she is the best, she is always right and so on. Therefore I support this.

Damit, I'm gonna get slammed for this. I really don't know what to say, other than that I wish for the good reputation of the mods in general to return. Such actions has caused newer members to base their views of the mods from what they know of cat.

All mods have pros and cons.. but these ones take their roles as positions of power among members.. even menacing or taking banning as a game (refering to sloth) I have seen moderators making fun of the people at the banned box..(Sloth once again) and banning for really foolish reasons.. there isnt a drop of freedom on these forums and i suggest demodding these persons... i have nothing against them.. they are talented on their fields, but they arent really fit to be mods. I suggest having the old moderators from the shout box, Catadventure, Saltash and Loz, people know how to be moderators.
