Let me give you an example using myself as a rule here.I was modding on a diff site before and i will admit i was one of the hardest ones ............ in the forefront but behind the scences was diff story.We had a mods forum that nobody could see only mods.Everyone could see me kicking and banning ppl for abuse on chat but nobody could see the length of the bans and who gave them.The longest i banned someone was for three days.A few were banned perminantly because they continued on and on and on.now keeping in mind that i only ban for a few days alot of the otehr mods were banning for???????Yeah two weeks , a week, a fuckin month.One of them was called a fat fuck (he was) but he banned the person that said that for a month.I saw this same guy leaving rooms when trouble started,i saw him warning when he should have banned etc.Anyway,i looked like the aorst but when it came to the time lost on the site for someone i was one of the more lenient.Incidently i getting stuff back all the time about it and its not good at all.Incidently, i posted on the mods forum in that site saying that alot of ppl will only want to become mods because it was free for mods (they didnt have to pay for the site) and low and behold, sure enough they have ppl that are mods that didnt want mods "before" the site became a pay site.Apparently they have moved on,doesnt look lihe it to me pals.
Now to this place,when i first started modding on here,we had a whole load of anti modding threads.the place was full of them and the site was nothing more than a anti / pro mod one.Patricia did f'all and stayed quiet while BBJ held firm to see how things were panning out.We didnt have any powers to ban so i figured if i cant ban their usernames then ban their posts and so i did.I deleted nearly all the Soap Opera.at that time mods i see so glorious offering their services for the good of the commuinity wouldnt touch the job ,no way would they do it but now after the storm,after the abuse is gone and when calm weather approaches they jump on.
Tell you one thing though Nads ,i dont talk through my hole,i am a person of principle and do things not because of what ppl think or who likes me or not but on what i think is right.
I am done here for one reason and one reason only,i was one of the ones who helped intitially with modding here.The new ones are only jumping in when the storm is gone.I lost out because i was the only one who had the bollox to actually take action against those that were up in arms.I didnt sway with the wind or sit on the sidelines like a few.Funny thing is Ric Flair did the same and it looks like he is losing out too.The same is happening with QPH now.He is the one doing the fighting while some do sweet fuck all only standing by the sidelines seeing which way the wind blows.I have seen it too many times.
Trust me when i say i lost out because i was the one who had the bollox to actually do stuff here but the site loses out too.Thats the unfortunate reality of it.
