ChiefsPlanet Would you like me to step down as a moderator of Chiefsplanet? - Page 29

**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.

You got a negative attitude. That's what's stopping you.

You gotta get your act together. I'll help you.

I disagree with you. I have always enjoyed rep mostly because it was cool when I started getting it & people seemed to like my post and welcomed me. It was kind of refreshing time and time again and got to make personal jokes out of it and made quality friends because of the rep system. Can use it for a form of communication. The best part of rep is when someone makes a thread about hard times or something personable and you want to share with them but don't want to pm or share the board give them rep to give them something nice.

I've got neg rep and sometimes those were funny too. If I posted something hurtful and got neg rep for it then I was able to make amends to them. That is how I've used rep I enjoy it as much as just posting what ever I end up posting. Just to disregard rep as if it didn't mean anything well it meant something to me when my dad died and it meant something to me when Chiefs win games and we have rep parties.

FTR, I love everybody. Everybody get on the SNR train. Free love.

Oh, except Dane. **** that guy with AIDS and fire.

You moving to Austin? Or another town in Central Texas?

You don't love me. You don't even know the difference between me and Dante84...and for that, I hate you.

**Easy 6** · 03-09-2014, 11:15 PM

A bar called Valhalla? honest on my Grandpa cant believe someone didn't think of it sooner, man, that's just too cool than to have the Biebster in there... seem like good publicity at the time? not if it were me... I'd rather have the publicity I got from denying them.

They're going to spend a few grand, the long term affection of people will spend far more than that in short order... the sooner people like Biebs are put in their place, the better off we'll all be.

MERICA, no joke just, MERICA.

I will add that I don't go after posters that are civil towards me and others. I do tend to go after posters that I feel like bully others or are just general loudmouths (or just ask for it i.e. MTG).

Riiiiiight.

Unknown at this time. It's a pipe dream. I'd love to retire in Fredericksburg. But just about anywhere I can hang a shingle in hill country will make me happy.
