It&#39;s not giving up power, it&#39;s giving up a lot of worries. And leaving some good people behind that still work hard to do their stinking best in all forum members interest :



So yes i stopped being an active mod, after almost 2 years. I have a lot of work atm combined with a study i recently started to follow. So i haven&#39;t enough free time to be a good "boardslave". And i really think you need to put in enough time and positive energy, to do the job properly.

That and the fact i kinda had it with the dishing you get as a mod was enough to resign. As someone said if you can&#39;t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
Well i was getting irritated by the constant mod dishing lately, that way it is not much fun being a mod. I always said that a mod is just a member too, but one that does the housecleaning and the laundry fo all the members. If a "normal" member stops having fun in here it&#39;s easy to leave the board aside for as long as you want. As a mod you don&#39;t have that choice, cause you feel like you leave your fellow mods behind. Then they have to do all the (hard) work.
Being a mod has nothing to do with having powers, you do it cause you love this place and like the members and therefor need to be very dedicated to do it right.

Well i have plenty of good memories to think of, a lot has happened the past 2 years, and i ain&#39;t saying the board farewell (sorry guys that would like to see that happening) so actually i just stop moderating. And i feel kinda sorry for leaving the team. I wish them all the best with their "dogjob".

Do you blame us for complaining when you see the things going on at the moment?

Did i say that , guess not.

Altough it&#39;s like the members against the mods and i can assure you that the mods have the same interest as the members, having fun and have a solid, friendly board.
But sometimes there are decissions that have to be taken and they ain&#39;t always easy. The team doesn&#39;t like to see bannings or moderate people. It&#39;s necessary sometimes, too bad. And who sais the mods agree all the decissions or actions that are taken? But still no reason to attack the mods all the time.....

Jetje,

Being a person who really has never had any trouble with the Mods here, let me make a brief comment.

The concept that the MODS act as a TEAM is absurd. You guys act like a man who has had a massive stroke. One side of the brain has no idea what the other is doing.

Communication is zero, discussion is zero, implementation of punishment is almost random.

You guys have bought the dildo and stuck it up your own asses.

You need ADULT mods, cool heads, and you need to follow your own rules.

Things here, atm, are disgraceful.

My point: You Mods have the ability to turn this all around, it is all about attitude, self esteem and communication.

This ain&#39;t no big deal.

It is a comment on the situation.

It is not my goal to call someone out, I would do that via PM.

I just wanted to state that the power to return respect to the Mod team and to create a forum for fun lies in their hands.

If the Mods are doing their best, then you need better Mods. That is a truth pill, straight up.
