ChiefsPlanet Would you like me to step down as a moderator of Chiefsplanet? - Page 22

**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 mean like Bugeater and Frazod? But they're upstanding folks and mods are the problem.

You've not proven to be an asset here. Show me some contribution you've made to this site that is devoid of controversy.

You're very skilled in trolling but that's not really funny to anybody except you. Link me to anything that a reasonable person would consider a quality thread started by and regularly conversed by you and I'll change my mind. Just show me one. Any one.

Sorry but people using racist terms and slurs towards me and me calling them out on it is not playing the race card. I can't help that some posters are stuck in the 50's.

Also, feel free to look through threads I've started (I don't start many). I feel like I post decent threads. It's not my fault the same group of posters insist on following me around and being dickheads towards me.

The rep system is definitely more trouble than it's worth.

I came up with an idea on how to moderate DC. Had both sides of the political spectrum on board. Never heard back. Not even a no thanks. Thats no biggie though. If I had to say one thing is the cause for old timers posting on the hub its the aggressiveness of posters, not mods, that's got people cutting back on their posting here.

OrtonsPiercedTaint · 03-09-2014, 09:00 PM

I always repped the n00bs as much as possible to offset their shit. So I'm far from innocent

I will say I'm slightly disappointed that Blackbob hasn't been banned yet.

Some serious groveling and $$$ was probably involved.

I can't really blame Native for blasting back after some of the insults he takes. I realize that my life context is different than his, and 'just put them on ignore' might be my reaction to it but the racial stuff might be kind of a question of honor to him where he feels obligated not to take it lying down.

The internet turns a lot of us into different people sometimes, and not in a good way. I have seen it in myself too.

I'm glad someone recognizes that. Cochise and I agree on nothing but at least he's honest about the shit that gets sent my way by a small group of posters.

Frazod begged to be thrown out on his ear repeatedly. But yeah, I know Native is a contributing a-hole too. That's why I told him to can it.

God damn it felt good to read that.

This too. It should have been disabled a long time ago.

I definitely believe that a lot of Frazods problems here stemmed from this one person.
