My supervisor brought up video games, and I told him that I was a moderator on here without mentioning the site.

So I don't really understand why I didn't get it. Oh well.

Like why build me up just to tear me down?Because you're the top performer of the year and you know the information better than them, and it'd be inconvenient if you started thinking of quitting because they tore you down. They probably knew before you even walked in that you wouldn't get the promotion no matter what you told them.

It has been my experience that if you work hard you don't get promoted. If you think about it from their perspective, they would be filling a pretty standard role with one of their top performing associates. They don't want to change you to a new role when you're excelling at your other.

Eventually they'll start to confront their superiors about it and if nothing changes then they'll seek out a better position in another company. That kind of management tactic very well may cost a business their most reliable workers.
