ChiefsPlanet Would you like me to step down as a moderator of Chiefsplanet? - Page 11

**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.

Heh, I knew I was taking a risk when I made that post.

Shit, I just noticed my new name. I think I'd like dumbassiac better.

In that case, I did it. We discovered a massive spam campaign taking place via private message so we put a filter in place.

Hah.....beeeeeber.

Massive is a pretty impressive number.

I actually rick rolled the link to his site back then, lol. So that every time someone tried to click on it they would go to youtube...

I don't know if all of the mods do this, if just a few do it, or if you're the only one. However, if you're the only one, then I think you should seriously consider stepping down.

I now regret posting this.

Are you seriously the crying type, Brock? Just drop an F-bomb on me and move on. I'm losing respect for you with every stupid post on the matter.

When I have done that I did it in good fun and tried to make it only last a week. I had it done to me when I was a regular poster, and thought it was funny. Just something you have to have a bit of a sense of humor about, lol. Good luck with whatever mod did that to you.

WTF is a mod?

It could have been a mediocre spam campaign. I can't really be sure because I can't read PM's. Based on the amount of people from here who have registered on Frazod's site, I think "massive" is a pretty fair assessment.

I regret you posting it too, Beibs. You didn't really expect to post that and then not have the name change? Drop me a PM on like Wednesday if I haven't changed you back by then.

That's cool. I know I deserved it. If I were a mod I would have done the same thing.
