ChiefsPlanet Would you like me to step down as a moderator of Chiefsplanet? - Page 30

**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 probably going to spend some time finding a market and actually networking in communities before I make a decision. I'd like to even go down for a few weeks and meet with some chambers of commerce in the area to figure out what makes the most sense for my family. I love the area and the general hospitality of the locals. Feels a lot like my home in Iowa to me but it's out of this godforsaken climate. The heat doesn't bother me whatsoever.

Quit feeding the whole notion that fat is the new black.

You feeling more informed about the whole Native situation after I explained it? I'm always happy to answer questions when there are questions. Big balls of shit start as little tiny turds and then they pick up more turds as they roll down hill. Naturally, the offended is going to have one version of the story. You should probably believe about half of that story because there's definitely another half out there. Contrary to what some people have convinced themselves, moderators on this site do not just randomly ban people nor do we just pick on fools for no reason at all. There's always some kind of reason and except in rare instances, it's usually a pretty good reason too.

I can tell you this. Regardless of anything you hear...steer clear of Killeen. The traffic isn't worth the hastle. It's got city traffic and city crime without all the city benefits of selection. If I wasn't from there, I wouldn't go back.

Marble Falls seems like a nice town from the few times I've gone through.

DTLB58 · 03-10-2014, 03:33 AM

I don't think so. Why did you decide to just bring it up out of the RED?

It always does.

Forget that, I read on and found your reason. I've often found something you are so passionate about when you leave it you are going to be disappointed you don't have a voice or hand in the control and you will be just as frustrated about that as you say your lack of enjoyment has left because of your 'job' here.

I don't know you, but you seem to be very well liked here and places like this need people that are liked yet respected. That is hard to come by.
