Fluffho, I'm pretty sure I know the situation you're referring to...
and THIS
"Why would you come back when all that's been going on since you were modded had been one OBVIOUSLY jealous and sore little prick after another has done nothing but complain and disrespect you, saying how much of a better job they would be doing"
DEFINATELY began before said banning incident occured.
I'm not trying to defend or persecute anyone, as I don't have the full details of the whole situation, nor do I want to have to revisit the topic yet again (that's your job), but certain people who very obviously thought they were "tha shit" started in on her almost immidiately.
From my take on things, these people have expressed their own interest in "modding", and have also had prior "run-ins" with AMK...I've been here, I've seen these things - some of these altercations seeming to come out of nothing more than association/friendship with others who have a problem with her(Now who could that be?), and, of course, pride-driven jealousy..such behaviour, alliances and clear potential bias towards certain people...just not "becoming" of potential moderator/s.
Obviously the person with the final say in the matter has similar views, hence the current moderation "team", if you can call it that.

I don't personally agree with a person who has been designated a position leaving before finding a suitable replacement - this is fucking irresponsible behaviour, and I don't give a fuck who's toes I'm stepping by saying it.
Nor do I think a person should relinquish their duties solely on their popularity, or be influenced to do so by somebody who has clearly (And I don't give half a shit WHO started it) had a problem with them for some time.

Honestly, moderation isn't the issue - petty fucking ongoing feuds IS...
