This brings up an interesting question such as "should moderator stay neutral and act as Switzerland, not taking sides? or should he act as normal player". In this case John acted in capacity of a normal player. However he plays both roles, being both moderator and player. He does represent though FPC in terms of official entity which punished/shamed a player for subjective reasons.
I do like John and I think he`s a good moderator that unlike others can sit and listen to reason. Situation presents tough a interesting dilemma and a potential conflict of interests between his acting in the capacity of SEE employee or acting in the capacity of a normal player.
Regarding the issue of the neg rep. Shouldn`t be good news for FPC(which John represents basically) that a customer player decided not to sell out and stay ingame to keep spending peds instead of withdrawing? Shouldn`t the purpose of FPC to encourage players to stay and keep playing? On the other hand a normal player might have his own perception and feelings towards fellow players and he`s fully entitled to express them via the rep system. Tough call.
Possible solution: Hire John as a full time moderator and the thin line between player/employee won`t exist anymore.
This is ironic.
Easy Mikass its not FPC any more

I think many of you be on JC's side. and cannot see things clearly.
As long as MJ still has his stuff un-sold in his inventory, he is still playing. Then, there's nothing wrong when he opens another buying thread. The purpose of his buying thread is very clear: He wants to have a complete armor set, which would be more attractive and be sold easier. If his armor parts get sold before he could buy any extra part, I'm sure that MJ will close the buying thread.
The one who is sensitive here is JC, not MJ.
MJ maybe a bad guy, he did bad things, blah blah ... But in this case, MJ does not violate any rules or any common sense.
Beside being a moderator, JC is also a normal member in this forum. I agree. But, he is a moderator, he somehow has influence on this forum's image, and he should be more responsible when writing comments or post. When you have power, you have influence and you must be responsible. JC does not need to be so neutral, but somehow must be 'fair'.
Music to John

I really apreciate his job for many years just i get pist off the treatment he gives is not fair between players...
The point JC gave was, that he had a thread called "Selling out" and another where he buys, considering the moral in the whole case and being backed by rules of no "i quit" threads find it a just case.
Rules or Laws must be 'interpreted' . If you study law, or a law subject in your degree, you know that interpretation is important in law system. Law or Rules cannot cover all possible cases, so the law enforcer must interpret the meaning and apply them to each case.
Rules state that when you are selling out, you must show that you are actually selling out, therefore, it's not common to open another buying thread. But the purpose of MJ to open his buying thread is to SUPPORT his selling out thread, therefore, MJ does not violate the rules.

3.8 - Quitting/Leaving
Any threads or posts about leaving Planet Calypso, Entropia Universe or PlanetCalypsoForum, such as “I’m Quitting” or “Taking a Break” whether for positive or negative reasons, will be deleted without notice. This rule applies especially to sales threads. If you are leaving Entropia Universe and are selling your items, DO NOT include comments in your sales thread that indicate that you are quitting or taking a break. Members who are curious about the intentions of the thread starter can inquire via a private message, or within Entropia Universe.
Well sayed but its to much information for a common forum player you can try to explain 1 million times the situation but the size of them brains even if they understand is to small to agree...
Hey dear Entropians...
In the last weeks im trying to sell out some items i have in game like 4 parts Supermacy armor and others items and if i sell the doa our dome I want to buy rest of parts of Supermacy to make the set and a kind of MODERATOR John Teacher Capital (JohnCapital) more one time show how young it is to be moderator giving -rep for a buying thread
https://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/...s-Supremacy-our-similar&p=2760609#post2760609
I never see before moderator give -rep but moderator should be to moderate the forum not to spread -reps and BS stuff throw to the players...
What you think about this?
If you selling items out but you still intersted in make ur armor set full if u sell the others items is fair a moderator -rep you and be rude for you write that
"Guess your statement that you are selling out was incorrect then.
Gratz on being my 1st neg rep in many months.
Guess I might as well start enforcing rule 3.8 - Quitting/Leaving again. I've ignored enforcing that one for a while, but seems nothing's changed. Folks say they're leaving and it turns out they are here to stay."
Support send tp FPC for prosecution...
And now close the thread our change the context like before...
