ChiefsPlanet Would you like me to step down as a moderator of Chiefsplanet? - Page 8

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 05:54 AM

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.

I'm think you've done a great job, but your happiness should be #1 in your heart.

I have always been a fan of contiguous term limits for anything that's the least bit political or involves making judgments. So step down for a while if it's not fun anymore, once you're charged your batteries, maybe you go back to it.

But you've been very fair as far as I can tell.

I'm here all the time dude. Unless some kind of stink bomb hits the fan, I try to stay out of people's business. If I delete a mult or a douche bag, I don't make a thread about it, I just do it. Because you don't see people, doesn't mean they are not around. Every one of us has a different style and that happens to be mine, is that a bad thing?

If your style makes you happy and you're content with it, along with improving every single day, that's all it matters, and who gives a shit what others think?

If you're happy with it, then that's all it matters.

Oh I agree 100% with all of that.

One thing I'll mention is this: I think the moderating team changes the names of posters far too often. In a way that's really an abuse of power. If you piss off a moderator, he changes your name to something insulting.

I don't know if all of the mods do this, if just a few do it, or if you're the only one. However, if you're the only one, then I think you should seriously consider stepping down.

I really don't care who the moderators are. I'm a guest here, and if shit gets bad, I'm free to leave. High moderation or low moderation, I still get what I come here for, and once I don't, I'll lose interest.

That said, if being a mod causes one ounce more stress to you than enjoyment, I'd step away. If you enjoy it and the "boss" thinks you're doing good, then stay. It's really that simple.
