ChiefsPlanet Would you like me to step down as a moderator of Chiefsplanet? - Page 3

**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.

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 03-08-2014, 08:36 AM

I can't stress enough that I'm not upset, butthurt, or anything of the sort. I want this user base to make a decision on whether or not they're happy with my service 2-3 years after electing me.

Using "step down" instead of step away should balance the effect nicely

Jimmya · 03-08-2014, 08:39 AM

I'm good.

milkman · 03-08-2014, 08:40 AM

Sorry.

I never vote in CP polls.

Of course this site would go on without me, but I think it runs better with me in that role. And I'm willing to sacrifice some shenanigans to make sure it's the best Chiefs board on the web.

P.S - I love you. Please send nekkid pics.

It's a good feeling to be a part of something that means so much to so many. I guess my only advice would be maternal. If you are going to be the calm nurturing moderator as opposed to the drunk moderator or the stealth moderator or the nosy moderator... you'll save yourself a lot of grief if you let kids be kids.

How about almost naked?

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.

So who left because of you?

Almost naked is a great ****ing start. I quit drinking for the most part, so that will definitely balance out my decisions.

Dad, I'll count you as a step down vote then. I'll also participate more in the daily discussions regarding the Chiefs at the very least just for you. Even though you didn't pay child support, you did play the role so well you convinced that ****ing moron Frazod that you were really my dad.

Frazod. Most others left over other reasons. I've talked with most of them. I think PR_Capone left with me in mind as well, and I have my thoughts on why, but I don't know for sure and won't say so here. You'll have to ask him.

**007** · 03-08-2014, 08:46 AM

I think making it a public poll was a bad idea though. Something like this should be a private poll.

You're surprised at the results? Making it private opens up a big can of worms regarding mults and everything else. People should be willing to sack up and say their peace. If there's enough complaints about it being public, we'll look into other options. That said, the only complaints so far have come from members of the hub, so pardon me for not being too concerned about it. I mean you no disrespect with that statement, but that's how I feel about it.

**cabletech94** · 03-08-2014, 08:49 AM

reported.

just got ready to ask: who the butt-hert? but i just read the above post (post 38).
keep on doing what you're doing man. you are the floppiest!!

and to whomever addressed the issue of you should post more, i'd have to agree. you bring some value to the board as a poster. (some being a very very small amount) :P

None taken.

EDIT

No, I am not surprised at the results thus far.

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 03-08-2014, 08:52 AM

In all sincerity, if folks are concerned the poll is public, please do say so. I'm not going to retaliate against anyone who votes no. And I won't be upset with you personally. This is a sincere attempt by yours truly at giving you the voice I think you deserve.

**DaFace** · 03-08-2014, 08:52 AM

I voted no because I think you were more fun before you were a mod. But I don't really think a poll should be why you decide to step down.
