You were doing just fine bro, I'm being serious... until things got a bit out of hand, you even said it yourself. We understand you tried to run a highly civilized fucking forum with ★★★★★★ and NASH and bullshit running around, which caused a massive stir up between members. Granted, half the members on here are goddamn spammers in the first place, and I understand a freedom of speech clause in every persons own self-being... but rules are rules, people have to learn to abide them once in a while?
You were an admin, how come you didn't come up with any, I don't know, new features for the forum? Oh you were busy lobbying for an overthrow of a highly important official on the forum for banning seX and Beer, whom of which were back, but you still had the idea of emailing Mark behind a higher official with help of "other members" to get rid of him, for something he did for the better cause of the forum at the time?

I don't like this. Not even the fact that the removal happened is wrong, but the fact that it happened behind the backs of those removed is what's wrong.

Since when did you decide all this? Come on mate, this is a ridiculous post. You had no qualms about joining in with us not too long ago.
As NASH said to Hogan, when did you turn so corporate?

I will say I have to agree with WS being terminated. As good as a guy he is he never deserved the spot in the 1st place. On top of that he apparently was abusing his powers.

Both sides behaved childishly.
While I like the fact that Chaos added (or attempted to add) new features like the casino in the end it only wound up hurting the uptime of the forum. The fact that he left for two years and all of a sudden comes back full force seems a little like a father who abandons his kids and tries to come back into their lives after they've moved on. In his absence Monk basically became a defacto head admin without the title or powers. I agree with Monk as well when he said that Chaos should have stepped down 2 years ago if he (Chaos) knew he wasn't gonna be able to be around. Don't know why he was away for two years whether he didn't have internet access or was backpacking through Europe. I don't know and I don't care.
Spam laws on a public forum are inherently stupid and pedantic. Considering that it's up to the moderator staff to determine what's spam and what isn't how are we to know whether or not personal vendettas will determine whether or not a post is spam or not? We've obviously seen that both MS and MC can hold grudges.
And the whole my way or the highway bullshit Chaos is pulling rubs me the wrong way. Any admin (or boss for that matter) who takes that approach typically doesn't last long because they obviously can't handle criticism. Whether or not you agreed with the rules relaxation the forum did see an increase in activity. Granted alot of it was spam but get over it. Forum traffic is forum traffic and really if someone is searching for a wrestling forum which one are they more likely to choose-a forum with very little activity where the moderator staff is a bunch of nazis or a forum that's buzzing with activity with a laid-back moderator staff?
So in closing if you don't like spam don't read it and don't contribute to it. If you want to have a serious discussion about wrestling post more in the pertinent threads. It's really that simple.

I'm curious about one thing - are you going to replace them with anyone? Do you feel anyone deserves to be pushed up to Admin?

You make some good points Chuck and I understand where you are coming from.
By spam I mean a wrestling thread being cluttered with personal attacks unrelated to the thread. People aren't going to be singled out because I know they are in favor of MS, everyone is entitled to their opinion. The point being about spam is it takes up unneeded space on this forum. I don't know why anyone thinks they are entitled to spam up a forum not owned by them.
And to Knicky:
We will see how things progress and if we need any more super mods to take care of the forum they will be added if necessary.

No one is going to be seriously punished for doing things against the rules. Mostly a few things will be deleted, merged, edited, just to filter the clutter.
