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.

Nothing personal Flops. You were better before you became a mod.

[Buehler445]

Do what you want man. If you want out get out. If you want to moderate, moderate.

The people that are whining are involved in douchebaggery one way or another.

[Sandy Vagina]

I have not seen any reasons or actions that suggest you shouldn't be respected and carry on as a mod.

[BossChief]

Bro, this was a better place when you were actively participating in discussions.

Why do you want to remain a mod? I don't get into any of the whine the scenes bs, but it seems like that kinda shit is beneath you.

I think you enjoyed the place more as just a regular poster.

You toil over decisions a lot more than most other mods. You're trying to do the right thing every time. You care. That means you're more qualified than most everybody else. When people like Frazod lose their minds and throw everything away because of some stupid disagreement in D.C., maybe it was time for him to leave. It would have been very, very easy for him to have handled things like a grown ass man but he chose not to. It wasn't your choice. It was his choice. You can't beat yourself up over the path a grown man chose.

[BossChief]

I mean, really.

Who shoots a fridge?

[RealSNR]

I voted for you, Flop, but like others have said, the important decision is to do what makes you happy. If this job is negatively affecting your posting experience, then **** it.

[Lonewolf Ed]

As few care what I think about most anything, I shall refrain from making a choice.

I think you're doing fine. I don't know why anyone would want to be a mod, though. Seems like a pain in the ass.

[ThatRaceCardGuy]

I'm a moderator on a car forum and it's a thankless job. For the most part people will always take issue with one thing or the other. In my opinion you do a great job; that being said I voted yes just because I hate authority! Lol.

This is why only Rain Main should do polls:

TL;DR..... Ha, anyway, this is the part that sticks out, the boss being happy. If you want to stay, the debate ends on the boss being happy. If you are tiring of the BS, then step down.

I missed most of the drama the last couple months. After the playoff loss I didn't watch a game until the probowl. I almost didn't want to watch the SB either. I went to the hub for the same reasons I went to fatchatter. I like the idea of talking about anything without all the immediate second guessing, insults and other trollish behavior. The lounge is almost as bad as DC, in my opinion. I haven't "left" though. Most everyone has a couple sites they routinely visit, I now have three.

[OldSchool]

I voted that you leave because apparently you had more fun and the community was better with you posting?

[Easy 6]

You've never done me any disservice, matter of fact you've given me timely and honest answers to questions I've posed to you in private.

So I vote for you to stay on.
