Despite her "tell it like it is" attitude, she is very knowledgeable and has been a great asset to our community. With that said, I don't want this to go any further.
Oh come on. Now who is being childish? In my opinion she is the most knowledgable person in this forum, and it is mostly because of her that reading the answers in the C/C++ forum is worthwhile.
After all she should know that responses like this is part of parcel with speaking what she thinks is write.. If she has confidence on what she did was right why should she step down? She is the only moderator in the C/C++ forum that takes time to give answers at present. Dave was here when I joined the forum but recently I have seen no sign of him. If Narue also goes what will happen?
Regarding this incident, she is not abusing her power as a moderator when closing an old thread. But I see a very serious flaw in this banning system. How on earth does a message regarding a ban directed at one of the moderators goes to himself/herself? Bans should be confidential. We don't know who adds reputation to us. So why can't you do the same for the reverse? In my opinion it should be the most confidential. You should redesign this notification system Dani. Let the other moderators handle flags regarding a fellow moderator. I think that it was this notification system that started this in the first place.
And after all, if the person on the receiving end has already decided to go, why should be bother about him? Losing Narue will make this forum lose 10000 more persons like him. I am not saying that people like them are not worth staying, but if he has already gone, there is nothing we can do about that. If he stayed he could have benefited from Narue's knowledge. If he decided to leave..too bad.
Summary.
1. NARUE MUST STAY
2. Redesign the flag notification system
3. I think there is one more point that I have made in my post, but I can't figure what it is.
