We at Omnimaga are sorry to announce that, at least for the time being, SirCmpwn is no longer a coder of tomorrow.  However, this is not necessarily a permanent decision.

He's gonna be a regular forum member. In 2 months he is free to send a new staff application, however, which would be reviewed then depending of his upcoming forum activity, projects updates and behavior. The reason why this happened was due to a repeated incident on the forums recently (fight starting in two religion threads, one of which he created after the previous one was locked) and last month another one on IRC (posting porn links). I believe there was something else too, but I forgot. But basically the line of what is acceptable at Omni was crossed, and as result he was demoted. Note that there were previous incidents as well too, though, such as the "Our current problems" thread.

I think people who are too opinionated on a subject should avoid participating to topics on that subject. I hope SirCmpwn understands that we are only trying to keep Omnimaga a friendly place and we do not want our team to be seen as a team that encourages starting religion bigotry, and since this happened two times in a row, this would have given us a bad image eventually if we allowed a staff to do that. This is why we think it was best to remove him from the team and put him on probation. Basically he's free to re-apply for staff in 2 months, but if we notice this still happens, his application will be rejected.

It's bad to hear another admin has been demoted, even if temporarily. Will we know the reason for such demotion?

Please note that he was a Coder of Tomorrow, and not an admin/manager.

Good Luck SirCmpwn!

I am sad to hear this.

I wish Sir all the best and I hope he returns soon!

Sir was good in all except those two topics. I'm very glad you guys didn't permaban him.

Heaven forbid we do that

Indeed. At first I got mad and setup a ban with a permban message, but then I was sorry and changed it to an admin vote. All admins voted for either ending the ban at 2 AM or immediately and the majority voted for only a 2 months demotion, including myself.

The issue is that this was one bad incident and something else that happened a month ago caused this punishment, but there still remains the fact that otherwise, he was one of the best staff around. I hope he understands that we just try to keep Omnimaga friendly, and that no admin including myself are mad at him. For such isolated incidents I generally don't hold grudges either.

I'm a little bit afraid of where this is going.  Now that people know what happened, let's not focus on it.  Keep things on the bright side.
