ChiefsPlanet Would you like me to step down as a moderator of Chiefsplanet? - Page 27

**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.

People vote to keep it because it's like a virtual ego stroking (I've found myself being overly concerned about it as well). It's a popularity contest with a neg rep being equivalent to a put down.

I propose a simple 1 week evaluation period during the off season without it. After which a comprehensive review taking place.

Just a thought. Nothing to lose, a ton to gain.

Catering to the dumbass inability to control ones emotions is not worthy of a bunch of degenerate adults.

Don't like rep? Ignore your rep. What the ****.

They didn't give ID. How does he know it was really them?

Not that I have any problems with those two getting thrown out of anywhere... but as public figures, their DOB shouldn't really in question. Is there a local ordinance about physically having ID on you in that city?

LOL

I bet there is a graph somewhere that shows the decline in civility corresponding with each female's subsequent exit.

It's a good little bar (Valhalla), and happens to be next door to my local... Bull McCabes.

I take it you're a proponent of the rep system?

Thank you all very much, I love this place and everything you all provide to make it the only online community I'm a part of, or desire to be a part of.

I'll also do my best to get back to being the poster I once was. It's not like I let the job go to my head. I felt that being a mod came with a certain responsibility on how to conduct myself on here. Fact is, this place is all about shenanigans, and I'm going to keep trucking down the road I once knew.

Bring on the dying breed of being raped by 400lb men! Booyah!

Haha. Yeah you sure weren't looking for any validation. You're a fat guy inside and out.

No but since Justin Bieber is only 20 it was a good thing he did.

Apparently, the Beebs slammed down his chair and left in a huff.

It's been more than a decade since my last excursion to Austin. If some things fall into place in the next couple years, I'll be moving to Hill Country. The wife is taking a position she can do from anywhere in the country and these winters are really, really wearing on me up here.

Yep, my plan would have stopped that crap. They should dust it off and find the people to pull it off.
