Should The Artist Formerly Known as iargue (TAFKAi) be removed from the programming team and/or banned?

TAFKAi has exhibited the behavior of an elaborate troll for a long time, but I think now is the time to bring this issue to attention.

While the community of Neocodex can certainly appreciate his programming contributions, it has become clear that he no longer wishes to participate in the community, neither as a regular or staff member.

Like an small child, he demands constant approval and "compensation" for his contributions. He claims that he has gone unrecognized as the sole savior of Codex.

Contrary to the noble savior he poses to be, TAFKAi has instead consistently:
  • complained about everything
  • been unable to take the most lighthearted joke
  • overreacted when things have not gone his way
  • acted immaturely and condescendingly to countless well-intentioned members of Neocodex
In an entirely unsurprising climax to this demand for attention, he has decided to go "on strike", and refused to cooperate with the administrators. By doing so, he has put the site in jeopardy, potentially causing a significant drop in revenue as paying Advanced Members may not receive the program updates implied in their purchase.

Furthermore, he has claimed he is not respected as a staff member, and that the administrators refuse to cooperate with him. Hilariously, it is commonly known that his privileges as a staff member have been diminished, due to unacceptable immature behavior. Instead of accepting his flaws, he has continued to vie for attention, becoming increasingly more extreme in his immaturity and increasingly detrimental to the health of the community and success of the site.

In short, what do you think? I do hope that this thread will remain open long enough for some healthy discussion between staff and site members.

PLEASE DO NOT FLAME: this thread was created solely in the interest of facilitating discussion on an important site issue.

    I withhold comment until it is apparent that this thread will survive long enough for my comments to matter.

    This is a matter which should have remained private between the Administrators and the person concerned (and I don't think the Administrators have told anybody about it). Public 'discussion' like this serves no beneficial purpose other than for the OP to get some attention for a rather poor attempt at humour. :/

    iargue and Slink have both posted about it publicly on status updates. I figured it was a public issue, as such.

    I do agree with you, but I don't blame the OP. There was a status update from iargue today talking about how he's not being compensated for yadda yadda yadda. He's the one who made it public.

    waser, he set his member title to 'on strike' and mentiones that he is in statuses and stuff, i don't find it surprising at all that someone reacts to that now.

    No I haven't. Should I thank him for that?
    What I noticed is his status and I also noticed he's the only staff member who is constantly complaining.

    So... If I gave you $30 you'd stop being a dick about everything?


    since he's been programming.

    2+ years.

    So about 30 x 24 = 720+30X where X is extra months that I missed.

    He means $30 per month for the months he's had the Programmer rank, not just a single $30. :p Sure you still want to pay that? :p

    this is clearly not an issue that is going to be resolved by the community
    in fact the board itself just reflects the immaturity it is "reprimanding"
