ChiefsPlanet Would you like me to step down as a moderator of Chiefsplanet? - Page 7

**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.

If it ruins your fun, quit. Otherwise, stay on.

I've run online communities before. When they began to feel like a job, I stepped down.

Just Passin' By · 03-08-2014, 02:09 PM

I voted against you for making the poll public.

They're only seen in moderation....

The best mod we've ever had. He only beats me lightly, and with soft reeds.

Coach · 03-08-2014, 04:16 PM

I abstain.

This is a decision that Flopnuts should make, not others, for himself.

On a different note, I had no issues with the moderators at all, and I have met a few of them in person.

Setsuna · 03-08-2014, 04:24 PM

Having Flop gone give Phobia free reign and that ain't happening anytime soon. Keep the guardian!

**Buzz** · 03-08-2014, 05:10 PM

No, your the best thing to come along since Shreddies. Like others have said you really don't see the mods that often, which brings me to my next point, why? Is a job requirement that you stay in the background and just cover up the stink.

The only ones that do are those that constantly act like dickheads or the ones that like to whine about every damn thing.

Never had a problem with any moderator. If it has become a job, then it is time to move on.

Anyone notice this place hasn't missed a beat, and is running much smoother with them gone? Best wishes. No hard feelings. Well, bye. This is purely my desire for the people to have a voice. They elected me once. Let them re elect me, or find a replacement. This base deserves that in my opinion, so I'm giving it to them.

I thought this post wasn't necessary....

As for the poll, like others have said this should have been your decision not everyone elses. Or to some extent Kyle's. If he felt you weren't doing your job it's his place to ask you to step down.

**SAUTO** · 03-08-2014, 05:16 PM

Dumb thread is dumb.

Do what makes you feel right bro.

I hardly ever vote in polls but I voted in this one
