I have resigned as a moderator.

Post Reply New Topic

I'm not ok with the idea of MrMark thinking its ok to make duplicate thread when I have locked such threads by other members many times in the past. So I resigned as a moderator. I submitted a list a a few days ago after Quatermass recommended Alex add a few more moderators. Should be no problem finding good replacements.

Feel liberated in a way do you?

We had our disagreements,
but I'm sorry as hell to see
you go. You showed a great
deal of restraint, overall.

Sorry to see you go, hope you do alright.

Aw, horsesh**!

I am really sorry to see you go.

On all the webboards I've been on, and I've been on over 100, you're the best moderator I've known. I feel like WP won't be run so well now that you're not one here any more!


But it is liberating, isn't it?

Yeah, now he can join where the real
work is, sniping from the sidelines.

it's a PITY to resign because of that.

People who reopen closed threads show a lack of respect. And it is only normal that the website team discusses the behavior of these people in private...

NB: Being myself moderator on another forum, sometimes, I am sometimes faced with the same issues (but, I for starters discuss the issues with people concerned, and if there is no reply, then I may get nasty, well only with those trouble makers who chose to disrespect the ethics and forum's codes of conduct).

Oh dear. I am sure you know what you're doing, but I am sorry to hear it.

The idea of having Alf as a mod, I thought it was kinda cool.
I suppose being a mod is demanding, taking a certain amount of time to do the job, I don't know how a person with ADD can handle this, it must be hard I guess. At least you are relief and liberated somehow. You have more time to do other stuff now.

i did resign from another forum too myself. The members had plain no idea what a moderator does (some though moderators are advocates of the devil). Well, I resigned, as I had no time to waste with (visibly) NT kids having their own NT fun.

Goddamnit! You're mucking up my plans! I was going to post a silly little bit of fun in the "slam book" thread. I was going to start things off by telling my friend Ana54 that I "worship the spammy attention whore" for just a bit of fun, to start things off. Then, my second entry was going to be that TheMachine1 is "a wise a tollerant moderator for being able to appreciate someone like Ana". I might still post the bit and pretend you haven't resigned (I define my own reality when it suits me). You're going to stick around as a regular poster, right? I hope so.

I found it interesting that you and calandale had your differences; I like both of your styles, as contradictory as they sometimes seemed to be. In fact, I've appreciated having a rather eclectic mix of moderators hereabout the WP. I appreciate the variety in opinion over how to do things; it encourages discussion and debate and growth and evolution, rather than one static, stale, pre-defined way of doing everything. We learn through our differences; when we all agree, things tend to get boring. I'm sorry things have to devolve down to a pissing match, sometimes. But such is the way of things with humans.

I'll be curious to see who the new mods turn out to be.

Good fortune,
