ChiefsPlanet Would you like me to step down as a moderator of Chiefsplanet? - Page 5

**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.

Just a suggestion.. Have an alternative mod available and take a month off or two. Give yourselves a break or have limit terms every couple years. I'm suggesting that for all the mods.

Respected. I couldn't imagine why you and I wouldn't get along. It's been nothing but positive to this point. You're well spoken, and have good takes. I never pick on guys like you, because you give me no reason too. You're a good poster here, I hope you'll participate here as well.

I do take time off, it's just usually a few days at a time. There are days I come here and tell myself that I'm not gonna worry about shit, and just have a good time. We have a fairly large mod team and I don't need to wear that hat 24/7. Obviously if something important is in my face that's one thing, but for the most part it never happens. It's really a good idea, and I hope the other mods read your post and consider it. Hope you and your girl are doing well, homeboy.

I think we all do that. A guy can't be here every day for several hours doing this or it will bite you in the ass. At this point I try stay out of stuff unless there is a firestorm, or a complete douche bag troll shows up and starts taking a dump on the board.

Sfeihc · 03-08-2014, 09:35 AM

Stepping down as a MOD doesn't change you. I mean DaFace is still a raging douchebag.

I just wish you, OTW and Mr. Big Words(Hamas) would participate in the CP Mock again.

What Chiefs Planet needs is a

Hug it out session.

**loochy** · 03-08-2014, 09:55 AM

Lolwut?

Geez, if you want to stay then stay. If you are tired of doing this then step down.

You do a good job despite the bitching. I don't want you to stop. However, if you want to step down I'm not going to beg you to stay.

However, as someone that follows the rules and doesn't whine, I don't have much need to interact with mods.

Bottom line: do what the F you want.

Is there even any qualified person that could or would take your place?

WhiteWhale · 03-08-2014, 09:55 AM

The mods around here seem pretty much invisible unless someone goes full reerun. That's a good thing.

I say do whatever you want man. I voted for you to stay, but really just do what you want. I never wanted to be a moderator of any internet forum, because it always seemed to be that it would be like teaching a poorly behaved class of 6 year olds. I think I would hate it.

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 03-08-2014, 10:02 AM

If I wanted to step down, I would. I've thought about it. I like the job though. This also isn't some "please look at me and validate me" deal either. Sorry if that's the appearance. It's an opportunity for this user base to vote on whether or not they picked the right guy for the job a couple of years ago. That's it, and that's all.

jspchief · 03-08-2014, 10:05 AM

I don't have any issues with the way you moderate. If anything I like it. That said, you are a bit of a drama queen about it all. You seem to take more personally than what I would consider ideal for a forum that's as loose as this one.

My advice is to step away for yourself. Polling for affirmation is attention whoring. If the board as an entity didn't want you as a mod, the poll wouldn't have needed to be started by you.

Zebedee DuBois · 03-08-2014, 10:17 AM

Whether you are a mod or not will not likely affect the dozen posts I will be submitting in the coming year.

I didn't realize Frazod left because of you. WOW !

You've accomplished more than anyone could have ever asked for !!!!!

Be back in a minute, I gotta go jack off.
