Not according to TyZi. Won't change the way he moderates.

If he's not agreeing to change how he moderates then the new rule means nothing to him. We need all mods to follow the rule, but nothing changes with him (he fancies himself special), that's the issue.

Then when I brought the point up, he went full baby-king and basically said 'Well screw you, not implemented then'.

To which you just defended by asserting that he's just being 'realistic'. Let's go over this again. He decides he's not going to enforce the new rule, I call him out on it, he says 'fuck you no rule change then' (even though he wasn't going to enforce the new rule anyway) and then you post and tell me to 'read' the new rule and defend TyZi's childish stubbornness.

You seem to think he's on-board with this new change. He's told us he's not and when I called him on this, saying how this wasn't going to work then, he said he'd just go and close this whole thread - Doubling down on his position. You shouldn't be defending his poor actions. If anything, you should be telling him to stop being so petulant and to get on-board with the program like everyone else.
