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

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.
I can understand that.

Whelp, that's the truth.
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.
Taking the high road as usual. Good job.

Yes, I'm sure that your "job" must be so hard.

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.

Icy. You're pretty cool as a person, but you were a tad bit of abrasive with modding. Deal with it.

Apparently people thought you were strict? You weren't strict enough. You were a 2/10 on the strict scale, if that.

pinned thread, and you called me dramatic

Isara · January 05, 2015, 05:05:09 AM

I didn't notice any lack of respect, but I do think you were a great moderator–– I generally think you are a great choice for a staff member. Especially since occasionally it's a burdening role.

gats · January 05, 2015, 05:22:21 AM

I thought you were a good mod

Naoto · January 05, 2015, 06:22:43 AM

Meh. I'll admit you probably weren't my first choice as mod, and I do feel you were more strict than I'd like. Realistically I'm probably more comfortable with Chronic in there.

That said I don't think you're a bad mod, and didn't feel like you had to step down. Maybe an adjustment in your approach sometimes, but you usually did a good job sorting through the petty shit.

But I can understand not wanting do deal with all the bs anymore. I don't think I'd want to be a mod either since I come here for entertainment, and that would just feel like job.

Apologies if any of my antics lead to this decision. I get a bit argumentative with certain personality types. Feel like I might have been adding to your lack of enjoyment the last couple days. I'll probably work on changing that, and just ignoring the annoying people.

It takes up your time, and occasionally it's a chore to do.

A chore? I had been a forum ninja in a large group long ago and it was never a chore.

Aether · January 05, 2015, 07:21:57 AM

Damn son, you had put a lot of effort into this place too. You don't even want to be a monitor again? (I mean I see you're one now but. . ) It's true that moderating can feel like a chore sometimes, so long as there's people around to make it feel like a chore.

It's all dependent on the type of moderation the staff is going for along with what kind of community you have on any given site.

Fairness isn't the easiest thing to uphold when everyone has wildly different viewpoints.

Kinder Graham · January 05, 2015, 08:02:50 AM

>actually enforcing rules to make community not turn to shit is somehow looked down on

I can't even right now

Ender · January 05, 2015, 08:03:09 AM

Oh, sad to see this happen I thought you were a really good mod.

Kinder Graham · January 05, 2015, 08:18:04 AM

Oh and when Slash was a mod, he was like in the lead for giving out the most bans. So this whole circling around him and calling Icy strict is rather redundant
