My Resignation from Ninja to Monitor

Alternative Facts · January 05, 2015, 01:18:22 AM

I have been on the staff since October, serving as Monitor through December, and as a Ninja up until now. I've aimed to help the community, have stayed up late hours talking to members who needed help, and have thought of myself as a decent member of the staff. Yes, I've made mistakes and yes, some of you may have found me more strict than you would have liked - if that's the case, I'm sorry that my moderating style was not to your liking.

Tonight, I am resigning from my position as forum ninja - and depending on what Cheat decides to do with the staff - from the team in general. The reason for this is simple - the team, as they move forward with new rules and ideas for the site, has to be respected in order for it to work - and as some members have shown in the past couple of weeks, I am not respected as a mod - and I accept that.

This resignation was not in due part from any one specific user, moderator, or admin. I simply am not what this site needs, and I do not wish to impede it and cause further problems, fights, or drama. With the new theme up, and new rules coming - Sep7agon will hopefully continue to grow. Whether or not I'm around as a staff member, forum member, or at all, is still up in the air - but I'm glad I was able to help in a small way.

This thread will remain unlocked, and you are welcome to say what you wish. I ask no one on the moderation team to lock this thread, or edit out comments unless they become exceedingly excessive. Say what you want people, air your grievances, call me a piece of shit mod - this is the one chance you'll get.

Hell, it's about time.

Can I take your spot?

TheOneTrueDesticle · January 05, 2015, 01:21:49 AM

Now I can only hope for Kiyo to do the same...

SecondClass · January 05, 2015, 01:22:10 AM

You were actually one of our best ninjas, IMO. Sad to see you go.

I believe Demonic will be returning as Ninja.

I'll say it again, I thought you were a good Monitor. But as far as Ninja goes, I find it a bit...questionable. If you don't mind going back to Monitor I personally think things would be fine. I don't know what other people think though, but that's my two cents.

I agree here. He was fine as a Monitor but as a Ninja things went too far.

YES

Not set in stone.

I saw your strictness as balancing out the lax attitudes of the others. We need that strict no-bullcrap personality sometimes.

Maybe it was too much? I don't know. I didn't really see you as doing a bad job. The lack of respect to you?
Well.......we've all gotten crap. I just figured you got it more for no reason.

But it was a privilege to work with you Icywind. Thank you for keeping me under control in times of stress.
I needed that strict personality at times.

Thank you for what you brought to the table.

Laser · January 05, 2015, 01:28:58 AM

Ah, why does all this drama have to happen right as the site update hit? Maybe you could become a Monitor, that'd be alright with me. Anywho, see ya mate.

TB · January 05, 2015, 01:34:15 AM

I appreciate what you did.
You were one of the best mods there.
Thank you for your service Icy.

i feel like this was a bit of a knee-jerk reaction.

Nick McIntyre · January 05, 2015, 01:41:10 AM

As a Monitor you were pretty good Icy, and you are an alright guy. Your tyrannical reign as a Moderator had its ups and downs, but it kind of sucks it had to be this way :/

Eh, not really. There were a few times while I was a mod when I said "This isn't what I want to do" - Tonight, I kinda just said that I'm done. This forum is a lot more fun as a regular member, or actual liked staff member.

If you're on the staff and even remotely disliked, you're going to just be in hell on the forums.

Well it's a huge responsibility, so I don't blame you.

Yeah because editing posts, locking threads, and negotiating agreements between folks on a forum is such a huge burdening responsibility.

No.

Staying up until 4am, on the night before a huge final, to help a member who has been repeatedly harassed by several members on multiple venues is a burden.

Having to constantly be criticized and ignored, on a damn forum, when trying to stop petty arguments is a burden.

Staying up late hours to deal with stupid arguments between users who cannot learn to shut up is a burden.

I came here to enjoy my time. Being on staff as a mod is not fun.
