That's what I believe Forrest is afraid of, while someone else is actually looking forward to it.

I think it's not just Forrest.

You know, I personally am not afraid of responsibility. You know very well what it means to be a master, a moderator, etc... To do something for others for FREE, and in return, you only get insults from people like Samurai. You yourself have been planning to leave and just play in tournaments for fun for a long time. Why? Because it's easier that way, there's no responsibility... let someone else solve the problems... and if something happens, we'll leave or replace them with someone else.

Kostya, I've already left. But not because of the insults or the responsibility. It's because of the time. I can't do something half-heartedly. Either I do it, or I don't do it at all. As long as I could do it, I did. When I realized that I couldn't do it in a way that would satisfy myself first, I left. And I never put a halo or a crown on myself for doing something for FREE. Did you sign up for it? Were you aware of what you were doing? Did you know that there would be insults and responsibility? Did you know that it would all be FREE? Then work and don't whine that people are insulting you and not paying you.

But the whole problem is that everyone has their own opinion. If people think that the AK handled the situation terribly, why not hold a vote so that the players themselves can make the decision? Do you think that would be better?

Actually, the circus with the discussion on an external resource was supposed to involve some kind of vote. At least via ICQ, as in Vitalik's case. But why did the AK suddenly make such a decision in the middle of the discussion? Isn't it because the members of the AK realized that the verdict would not be unanimous: guilty?
