I'm Stepping Down From My Staff Position

[Alticus]

I just sent BF a message asking him to demod me. This pedo shit has been going on for almost a year now and nothing has changed. Clearly, my efforts to enforce an important rule were futile. I've talked with BF on many occasions about this and nothing has happened. I just get told what I want to hear. Maybe there was a plot all along to get me to step down, I don't know, but I'm done trying to sweep sand off of a beach. Sorry people, I failed.

 

[Courier 6]

I'm sorry to hear that; at the same time, I completely understand. As it stands, if having mod powers still left you unable to redress the situation, then it sounds like 'Moderator' was just an empty title not worth having, anyway.

 

[Reggie_Essent]

Don't blame you Alty. Mod is a thankless position, especially when trying to herd cats.

Now you can do a bunch of Alts. Your Colonel Crusher one was funny as fuck.

Yeah, I remember playing him. lol

You're Goddamn right the Colonel was funny. You know what's not funny soldier?! My size 13 rammed up your ass!

I don't know about failed. But like reggie says herding cats can be a chore.

Surprised BF hasn't shown up yet.

 

[No One]

Thank you for your service.

 

[Alticus]

Thank you for your service.

Thanks Mr. President

Particularly if you haven't effective tools and owner support behind you.

 

[Jack]

Thank you for your service.

what did you get banned from the shoutbox for? I missed it.

 

[No One]

Being disingenuous. I deserved it.

 

[Alticus]

That certainly didn't help but BF gave some me fairly good ones like shoutbox banning, locking threads and other stuff like that. If I was him I'd be a little reluctant to assign some of the more effective permissions too. Oh well, c'est la vie.

That's silly. You know there are only a couple of posters here that would abuse the mod panel and you ain't one of them. SB banning and locking threads are good tools.

Well, I guess but still I understand why I was limited. I've only been here a little north of 2 years if memory serves. I also have a habit of losing my cool. No owner wants a mod with a short fuse and ban power. lol

I would think Assboxing powers would have been a happy medium. Sure, maybe you can't ban a fool, but some of them could certainly be assboxed pending owner review.

The problem, as I see it, is that some of the fuckers were banned. And then, for no reason that I can fathom, were let back in.

Just what message does that send? Fuck up hard enough, long enough, and you'll get shown the fuckin' door...

...until we let you back in to fuck up some more, 'cause we really didn't mean it, after all?

The fuck?! lol

From what I understand Assboxing or whatever name is chosen for that function is exclusive to the admin panel and cannot be assigned to mods, but don't quote me on that. Just because I stepped down doesn't make BF a bad person or owner. Imagine trying to run a forum where no matter what you do, you can't please everyone. I asked for the opportunity to be staff, he didn't ask me.

True enough, you can't please everyone. It's a matter of choosing which segment to please. In this case, I'd characterize the choice as being between the Tard Brigade who won't shut up about the subject I needn't and shan't mention, and... everybody else.

I'd have no qualms whatsoever about displeasing that former group. But that's just me.

 

[Alticus]

I gave being a mod my best shot and it didn't work out. That happens on forums.

You’re a good tool

 

[Courier 6]

FWIW, I firmly believe that, had you had all the requisite tools at your disposal, you'd have had as much success in the role as you deserved to.

As it was, you did the best job possible under the circumstances which constrained you, IMO.

[Alticus]

It's a thankless job.

That's true, but I wasn't looking to be praised for doing it. I just wanted to help out.

 

[Lily]

That's true, but I wasn't out to be praised for doing it. I just wanted to help out.

Thankless, meaning it's not appreciated by most people.

 

[Courier 6]

That's true, but I wasn't looking to be praised for doing it. I just wanted to help out.

I appreciated the job you did and the restraint you showed in doing it. You were a much lighter hand than I'd have been in your place.

Thanks man.

At Valhalla I participated in the hiring and firing of many mods over the course of that forums life.

I must say, Alty, I think you did as fine a job as you could given the board clientele.

I remember we used to give people the Mod title with no buttons just to watch them run around the forum lording it over the inferior plebeians. It was very entertaining. I think we may have done that with Flynn.

Good decision, @Alticus

You are a horrible moderator.

Extremely biased....

Thin-skinned...

Really bad decisions....

I mean, did you do anything right?
