Lol, the best part about this thread is how everyone thinks the mods are shit. I've never felt like I had so much in common with people like Elba.
We can come together on certain issues!

I come from a time and a place where I judge people by the content of their character; I don't give a damn if you are tall or short; gay or straight; Jew or Gentile; White, Black, Brown or Green; Conservative or Liberal. -- Note to mods: if you are going to infract me have the decency to post the reason, and expect to hold everyone else to the same standard.
If it was anyone else I'd give them the benefit of the doubt (except maybe sarah). I've seen you post. There is no reasoning with you. You don't want debate.

Oh crap, I thought you were Elba, considering you both had that retarded avatar at one point or another, and I've had a few too many beers. My bad. Yeah, you're not completely bat-shit, and I've seen you post some reasonable shit before.

There are worse sites out there. This is tame shit, just too many over sensetive people crying about everything on here. It's a good mix to be honest though. Echo chambers are boring.

Hey, give me credit for not deleting the initial post, and owning up to it.

I see this come up a fair bit. I wasn't "removed". I stepped down, for two reasons. The first is that I simply didn't have time; some folks may have noticed I've been posting a fair bit less than I used to. I'm still FAIRLY active, but it's not consistent, and I felt that wasn't a good factor for my modding. I'm busy.
The second, just look at this thread, and how much abuse is being leveled my way, without any real basis for it. I'm sure after saying this there'll even be some people saying "oh, there's a basis", but really, it's just legacy hatred of a fairly active moderator. There's a few folks who've reached out to give me support over the years, and I appreciate every word of that folks, but the proportion swings hard towards the haters. That wears you down. Moderators were expected to take a certain amount of flak on the chin, so to speak, and I just got tired of being a punching bag.
Anyway, long story short, definitely not asked to step down or leave, nor was I kicked out. I stepped down because I didn't want to do it any more, and nothing else. Anyone telling you otherwise is making it up and has no idea what they're talking about.
I'm not going to contribute to discussing moderation, since it's against site rules for a reason. If you want to PM me to ask about why the mod team has certain policies, I can give you some policy-based explanations, much like you'd get from any existing mod, but I've got no reason to be giving anyone the "party line" any more. I won't breach anyone's privacy, either other users or the mod team's, but I can speak to why things might be the way they are.
