Comments: I think a group of adults can decide if typing in caps is offensive to them. I don't think that needs to be decided on our behalf. Come on, guys...this is a game! You should be thanking Mickin for his time and devotion to a relaxing atmosphere not admonishing him for allowing all to enjoy the space.

Comments: A simple rule on caps and their usage might have curtailed all this activitiy. Popcap needs to re-evaluate their policy for not posting guidelines for Moderators and allowing a single moderator to dictate what that policy will be. In order to allow a visually impaired player to enjoy the chat and friendship of the flamingo room in Piggy Poker, I allowed the room members to use Caps in order for her to see the typing. I tried various ways to reconfigure the windows desktop to enlarge the font but the java applet kept overriding them. Nothing else seemed to work. I was warned by the head of mods to enforce the caps policy on two occassions. I informed her that i read the policy to mean that the use of caps with the INTENT to annoy was a condition for muting. She interpreted the use of caps full time and told me I needed to abide by the guidelines. I was not in good conscience, able to tell this player or any of the other players for that matter to discontinue the use of caps. The room had been polled, they agreed that it was not annoying them and then while i was gone, two other mods came in and totally ruined the harmony and friendship of the room. Set all the players against the mods and almost chased the poor nearly blind player out. The head of mods then advised this player that she was welcome to play in the adult rooms where she could type in all caps all she wanted to. She also told the players in the room that if the woman could afford to be online, she could afford a magnifier. I found both these comments to be rather cold hearted from someone representing your organization. She then declared the conversation closed and told everyone that any more dicsussion in main chat would result in their being muted. As you can imagine, several were not ready for it to be closed so quickly and a few of my long time friends, players with over 2 million points were muted. In summary, I believe that you should review the Mod status of WhatGall and interview as many players as were witness to these goings on. She should be stripped of mod status in my view and that responsibility given to someone that can excercise a bit of compassion with a decision. I was stripped of mod priveledges because i could not support the prejudicial and unpublished guidelines for behavior. I feel this was unjust and possibly even against the law. There are American Agencies that protect the rights of those who are disabled and it would be a terrible thing if Popcap became one of their targets because of negligence. I sign this petition because I feel i was wronged, but further, the rights of the people who play here and are friends here have been stepped on without even so much as an opportunity to discuss them. If your guidelines were set to keep people from leaving, I don't think they were successfull this time. Kindest Regards, Mickin

Comments: I think that what has happened is totally unfair. Everyone deserves a chance to play in the game where they are handicapped or not but when everyone in the room feels that it is ok then an exception should be made to try to accomadate them. When that person feels comfortable in the room he/she should be allowed to stay and if adjustments are needed then let them be made. Aftrer all we are all human beings As for the firing of MIck that is total unfair he is a good hearted person. a few months ago I was treated badly in another room and I move to Flamingo and he made me feel as if I belonged and he introduced me to other players. I began to feel like I belonged again and it was because he looks after the players and he is A FAIR person. Who should be reinstated.

Comments: If someone has trouble seeing the chat in small letters I think everyone should be understanding about using CAPS since this is a special case. How would you like it if you had trouble seeing and were discriminated against. I'm sure it would make you feel like a second class person and not welcome to play the game you enjoy participating in. This is a blatant case of discrimation!

Comments: WOW!! I don't have a problem with someone using caps, but it has always been an unwritten rule that caps are used for shouting (in all chat rooms on all sites). I understand this started because someone was viusally impaired, however they are viewing and reading other players comments (which are not in caps) and the other players are viewing and reading their comments. I find it hard to read caps, but I don't want to cause any trouble for those who prefer to use them.

Where is your compassion and love for others less fortunate than yourselves; The mod in Flamingo made this a family room, that is the reason so many regulars play; to let this mod go was a mistake in my oponion; as we were welcomed and made to feel safe. Please rethink your decision. Thank You

Comments: I understand rules are in place to benefit all but I also understand that sometimes those same rules must be looked at if they become a tool of power over others. I'm not just talking about this entire CAPS situation but the fact that mods are put in place to make sure that the "family rooms" have a safe and friendly atmosphere. The hostility I've witnessed over the past few days hasn't been caused entirely by a broken rule but more by the need to suppress the rights of others to express their opinions and views. Discrimination takes many forms. In a world that shows so little compassion to others less fortunate than ourselves, wouldn't it have been nice to show that not everyone is like that We proved our humanity once again when we took away that right and penalized the one man that was brave enough to stand against that tide of apathy.

Comments: I capitolize words and/or phrases as the only way of typing an emphasis in a typed conversation. I think this new ruling is unfair, and most decidedly unjust. Please rethink your ruling. I also request that formal Rules & Regulations be posted for each room so that players can read and know what they can and cannot do. It is NOT fair that players be unable to converse as if they were talking face to face, since so many of us are disabled and unable to get out and about to meet with and converse with people. This chat room, The Flamingo Room, has been a decided plus in my rather limited life.

Comments: I find it ironic that WhatCall explained that the rules about CAPS are in place to promote a friendly environment. Which is more friendly A Mod kicking out another Mod for not forcing the room to not use CAPS, or a group of strangers adapting their typing so that another visitor to the room can join in the discussions.

Comments: I feel that the issue of caps is simple. If it is offensive to the people in the room, and it is for the better good of the one player, the one or the group offended has the option of ignoring the people who choose the assistance. The guidelines dictated thus should allow for this, and I feel this is not a solid ground to remove a person from moderator status. However I have played in the room, and witnessed other abuses by players who play in that room, if this is the only reason for mickin's termination I agree that he should be reinstated.

Comments: I am appalled by these events. The members of the Flamingo Room are largely friendly and compassionate and the use of CAPS was to be helpful- to assist a visually impaired person who had found friendly people who did not discriminate against her. To penalize anyone for being handicapped is deplorable, not to mention unlawful. The behavior of the mods who abused their positions of power is reprehensible, their insulting remarks are beyond appalling. How heartless are these people To make an example of Mickin (aka Mike), who has always fostered a pleasant and friendly environment, for exercising good judgement and compassion is inexcusable as well. Shame on PopCap for promoting an environment of hatred and shameful discrimination.

Comments: While I realize this probably doesn't mean much to you guys... Mick is an excellent mod and didn't deserve the treatment he was given. This is not as big of a deal as it will be to a lot of people that play at your game site if something isn't done to at least correct the situation. He merely felt compassion for another being and for this he is fired He also asked for others opinions first. I see no reason for this repremandation, much less when you take in the fact you don't pay him anything. He's given loyalty and good service to you and your customers. What more can you ask for in a "free" employee If he made a mistake is there not another way to repremand him I wish for Mickin to be reinstated regardless of any reasons or politics involved!!!! Sincerely, Gina Mystfit
