We, the undersigned, believe that "Valkyria" is an abusive chat (and message board) administrator on GPGnet. He tends to escalate minor disagreements rather than defusing them or ignoring them altogether. He threatens bans when they are unwarranted. He does not follow the gpgnet rules themselves. Furthermore he's even stated that no one should accept the job of volunteer Admin because its such a terrible job. In short, he should not be in a position of power if he can not enforce the rules consistently or even obey them himself.

The following link to the forum, Valkyria threatens to ban someone for trolling. A GPG employee actually stepped in to tell valkyria to "chill out." The post may be found about 2/3rds of the way down the page at the following URL:

We hope that this petition will get the ball rolling to remove valkyria as an operator. His immediate termination would improve the chat on GPGnet greatly, as he contributes little but frequently detracts from the discussions with his random interjections and "ban hammer" threats.

You may sign with your GPGnet name, but this is not mandatory to sign the petition.
