She really wasn't.

I had some decent conversations with her, but she was better as a regular player than as a mod. She DEATed a bunch of people for "sheltering a DOS" even though that isn't in the site rules anywhere.

And I think she was right about that. Deat ain't dos and it sends a message. I would have done worse I would have DOS'ed the lot.

She had other issues though, so I get what happened. I still liked her though.

A mod cannot unilaterally declare someone DOS, never mind a huge swath of people. Mod discussions are needed for DOS.

Ah, this is how NSG Mentors could work. The Mentors and/or mods review the posts.

Galloism: Their posts always make me think

Thermodolia for their bold opinions on some things. We might not always agree but I appreciate the boldness of what they say

Diopolis, Saiwania and Telconi for giving opinions I seldom hear said anywhere else.

Infected Mushroom because their posts are always interesting no matter what they write or are responding too.

If it’s the incident I’m thinking of, the DEATd nations were reinstated and the DOS upheld.
