Would you like me to step down as a moderator of Chiefsplanet?

[Mr. Flopnuts]

You guys essentially voted me into this role. I wanted it. I thought I would be a good fit for the role. I've always been a mediator in life. Essentially, becoming a moderator has affected my enjoyment of this site. If you've paid attention, you'll know that I don't post here nearly as often as I used too. In fact, I've noticed that's the case with all of the current moderators, and former moderators as well.

That said, I still am here daily. I read your posts, and do my best to clean up the spam, and handle the behind the scenes issues that go on with the site every day. I don't want to step down, but the fact is, I'm aware that some folks are unhappy with the way that I've handled certain situations. I'll admit it, there have been times that my emotions have affected my decisions. That's not a good thing. I've done some long and hard thinking, and decided that I cannot make snap decisions when someone pisses me off. I'm not sure there's a moderator in the history of this site that hasn't done that at one time or another though. Ultimately, I believe that I'm still a good fit for this job, and I know Kyle is satisfied with my performance to this point.

That said, I've always believed this site is all about it's user base. No, it's not a democracy. It's a free board paid for by Kyle. But it doesn't exist without you guys coming here and posting. You are the life blood of Chiefsplanet, and you are the ones that have made it the very best message board for not only the Kansas City Chiefs, but in my opinion, the entire internet.

When I came here 9 years ago this month, I had zero experience with online communities. Chiefsplanet was the first board I'd ever joined. Since then, I still have never joined another online community. Growing up in Seattle, it was amazing for me to be able to connect with a group of people that were as passionate as I was about the Chiefs. I love this place. No, it's not what it was too me, but I don't see myself ever just walking away from the board. I may not post as much, but I always read it. You guys are ****ing hilarious. I throw a bone in there once in a while myself.

Enough rambling. I'm putting my head on the chopping block. I haven't brought this up to the other mods, or Kyle. This is my decision to make, and mine alone. If you're satisfied with my work, then vote yes. Keep me on as a mod. If not, vote no. I'm a big boy. I can take it if you don't like my style. It will be a public vote for obvious reasons. No harm, no foul regardless of your take. We can still be friends, even if you don't like me as a moderator. I won't take it personal. This poll will be open all weekend, and close early Monday morning.

It's your call. Your voice. Your will on whether or not I will continue to moderate here at Chiefsplanet. Make your voice heard.

A poll is why I was a mod in the first place. I just thought it would make sense to give people a voice on whether or not I've lived up to their expectations.

I do agree with your first statement, and respect your opinion.

lol @ jimmy crack corn in the results!!!

lolz

7 posts!! who's mult?

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Here's a prime example. Jimmy Crack Corn is KnowMo, who I banned. He voted me out. I'll count his vote, and won't ban him again. Now if he gets banned, that will be another mod, and I can't control what they do, but I give my word it won't be me.

You taught me the meaning of the parody thread, and how to troll people on occasion, but not be a huge douche while doing it.

Hell no I don't want you to step down!

If anything it's a disadvantage to me if you think about it. I don't want to step down.

I don't pay any attention to who is or isn't a moderator..I just skim through the interesting threads and try and pick out those comments that have some substance. That being said....having been a moderator for years at a large golf forum....I suggest you take a 6 month leave of absence. That's what I did and discovered I enjoyed the site more just participating. It would do you good to take off the moderator hat for awhile and participate as just a regular poster. You might find out you enjoy participating more than moderating.....and by your own admittance your participation is sacrificed when you have your moderator hat on.

Thanks for posting. I think I'm going to go back to being me regardless of the outcome. **** it. If leadership wants to kick me out for being a ****bag, then that's fine. I'm pretty sure my change in style has been more self imposed than anything else. Time to pull my panties out of my butt crack and let loose again regardless of the outcome of this thread. Thanks again for your input. It's appreciated.

I'll try not to hurt your feelings again.

Your sentiment is much appreciated. My nose is all red, and my eyes are puffy from your harsh tone. I don't know how I can leave the house today and retain my pride...

I wasn't concerned. Just throwing my opinion out there. I've got no problem with you, personally. I haven't been here very long, but you've always been nice to me.
