ChiefsPlanet Would you like me to step down as a moderator of Chiefsplanet? - Page 28

**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've never lied to anybody on this site. You want to know something, I'll tell you. Sometimes I'll even tell you something you don't want to hear.

That may have been when you noticed it, but it wasn't when it happened. I've told you several times I whacked you after some deal regarding Joey and I'll admit it was an overreaction on my part. Even if you don't believe a single thing I ever say again, believe me on this. I know when I did it. Don't care what any of my friends may have told you.

Theres been versions of it since the dawn of Internet. I think we called them graffiti walls. If your (not you) self esteem is so entrenched in your rep, get the hell off the internet.

I'm anti whining.
Bitching
Crying.

I'm pro people having tools to make their lives more enjoyable. Whatever the hell it is.

I can agree with that. Where I disagree is that it is a tool that makes lives more enjoyable.

I know, but the integrity of the PMs was also brought up and I made an extremely vocal accusation regarding them.

Porn has, and always will be, off the table.

There is a strong correlation between the internet taking off and online porn taking off.
