Just gonna refer my post here from the other thread:

Am I the only one who miss the old days back in O '09 - mid 2011, where the was actually no hate at the promotions and everyone was happy on the new Moderators behalf. The days when we didn't get 50 threads about a Moderators action or a high percentage of the members trolling the Staff and the new features + changes the Community gets.

Now at every promotion in 2016, the thread get's spammed with mad hate, and people post a tons thread with their hetz, because they don't agree with the promotion(s) and that their favorite person or good buddy didn't make Moderator.

The good thing is, we are characterized by democracy. No one is forcing you to stay or like what's being done, you are free to leave, no one is gonna stop you.

TL;DR

Stop bitching, give the whole Staff Team a breath and the new faces in the Team. They deserve the benefit of the doubt. A good example on this is @FireZ Him and I, aren't the best friends in this Community, but I'm openly admitting that there was this hate and questioning back in 2011 when he got promoted to Off Topic Moderator, since he wasn't one of the "famous" ones or the popular amongst the members, no one barely knew him. He went on to prove everyone wrong, climbing the ladder and went on to be one of the greatest assets aswell as Sectional & Global Moderators this forum has ever seen.

This is just my 2 cents about this whole deal.

I challenge you to find any promotion thread where someone didn't bitch about a promotion, jokingly or not. In any year. Or someone saying, jokingly or not "Who is x person never heard of em"

Spoiler Alert: You can't, because one such thread does not exist.

Moral of the Story: People shouldn't get butthurt over people saying such things because it happens in every single promotion thread no matter what the methodology was behind the actual promotion. Also at this point you just have people getting butthurt that other people are butthurt so really you just have a beautiful circular cycle of butthurt.
