There clearly is a whole different level of distrust from the moderating staff compared to the community at large, and I regret that is the case.
You had told me that you would poll your players after the game about your performance as a mod and then take a break from modding if the feedback was poor. I didn't want to give a response as to whether we would agree to that because I still needed to discuss it with the others who weren't online at the time, and because I was hoping that you would choose to voluntarily take a break from modding either because of that feedback or because of other reasons (such as posts in the Festivus thread). None of us expected that you would put up a new signup thread immediately after this game concluded. I expected that you would forward me the responses from your survey as you had promised and the issue could be taken from there.

It was not stated in the signup thread that lynch results would be posted by video, so what you are arguing is moot. From reading the posts in the signup thread, it seemed clear to me that starrazz was agreeing to mod this game according to the typical vanilla game standards with none of his own personal quirks. Mods are allowed a lot of leeway in how they run their games, but that's with the expectation that players understand upfront what they are signing up for, and that the mods will make a fair effort at accommodating the players and running things fairly, etc. Posting results only by video would legitimately cause a burden to some players. At the time that this happened, well named was having problems with his internet connection and I had assumed that the reason he was so annoyed was because he was a villager and was unable to actually load the video (or maybe it was just that none of the other wolves were online to tell him the results).
