but, What can an Advisor do different than a Mentor? Wasn't Roxy an Advisor before she finally "left"?
Mentor = what Advisor used to be, but I think Jusun made it so that Advisors had admincp access since he was the only one.

Seriously, give this guy the title already. I mean there's so much shit that happens in Member's Photos then the whole RR community itself. Yall all need that person who can remain composure and let the beef that goes in there go, because it's best to just be blunt about it, and move on. It's not going to do anybody any good, to keep their opinions about other people's photos to themselves. I would make a great MP Staff.
Hell, cB is probably one of the STRICTEST, forums I been on, and I go to about 10+ forums. They let the diss of other people's photos go, and don't moderate that, because I mean cmon, everyone should know not everybody is going to have a positive comment about their photo and how they look like. Gotta let the truth be told yall.
I expect to see in the coming days in this thread something like this.

I'm for serious. You don't even know. If I can show you my serious face right now, I would. But you'll just have to trust me, that I have my serious face on right now. My eyes are in a downward manner, and in a semi-mugging way, while my lips are squeezed together directly proportional to my nose. That's when you know I'm being serious.

I originally posted this Backstage, but as I'd like to participate in any discussion regarding this post, I thought it would be more suitable here.
Although I haven't been staff for very long, I thought I'd say a couple things before being demoted.
First off, I'll clarify that I'm quitting not because Trish, JC, or Toya are quitting, but because of how hopeless cB and cB's current staff is. I fail to understand why I should try my best and exert any energy on cB when the rest of the Staff isn't.
To be frank, most of cB's current staff fails.
I understand that a lot of you have other personal commitments such as school, work, etc. But quite frankly, cB is a commitment too. Not having time for cB isn't something bad, its just a circumstance of life and growing up. If your commitments don't include a decent amount of dedication to cB, then maybe this ISN'T this the role for you.
There's no point in having a number of potentially stellar people on staff when they aren't here for some reason or the other, nor is there a point in keeping staff that are around, yet timidly ineffective.
Trish's picture incident, and the fact that the majority of Staff has no clue what's going on is proof of that. I'd understand a couple ppl being offline for one day, but majority? It's unacceptable. We are, after all, the ones that are supposed to be modding those things. But the truth is, there's barely any modding going on!
And the time most of the current mods DO spend on cB includes regular member activity around cB and/or bickering backstage. Of course there are exceptions, but for the most part, it boils down to just that. It's ridiculous. I'd have thought that Staff would know how to handle themselves better and be able to set an example for the rest of our members. Isn't that why we're staff? Because we were picked out of the crowd for being sensible members that showed leadership skills, discretion, intelligence, and significant contribution?
Yet sadly, after being back and on Staff, I'm going to have to say that my decision a couple years back of quitting cB was the correct one.
I apologize if I stepped on any toes, as this post wasn't directed to anyone specifically but at the staff at whole, but those are my thoughts.

QUOTE(stephinika @ Apr 5 2008, 01:05 AM)

K...well, where to start?
Firstly, I know it probably really seems like it but I'm not leaving just cause a whole bunch did, I was actually considering it for the past week but just all the recent events did contribute to my decision.
I know I haven't been on much lately and I haven't been the best moderator that I could have been. I've been around for a long time, left for awhile, came back and whatnot, but I agree with whats been said about the community here and how it has just been steadily going downhill. I used to enjoy coming here all the time and posting like crazy as most of you know and just having fun posting and talking with people. I never liked the drama, but I knew that it was a part of the forums and so I dealt with it, but it's just gone really far and gotten ridiculous. I don't enjoy it here anymore. I do still like to post randomly and read some stuff but its just not as carefree as it used to be. Everyone is on everyone's ass about something and being a moderator feels like such a chore now. I feel like a babysitter or something because of what so many stupid things have been happening and it just doesn't feel right. (I'm tired so sorry if my grammar is off btw.)
Anyways, I have been really busy with school, work, and life and I do have lots of personal junk going on as well so cB has just been sliding down my priority list and I apologize. I should've done more and been around more but it just hasn't been possible, and with my interest fading fast I can't rightfully hold my position as a mod. I wish cB hadn't gone down like this and I enjoyed my [second] time here as a mod, and I will be around occasionally still but I can't deal with this, have the interest, nor the time anymore.
Good luck to you all, sorry again and see you around.

Steph - I think it's great that you didn't really take sides on anything. Drama is pretty hard to deal with when you're on the other side (mod team), and you really have to choose your words. Something I'm not so great at, but being put through it helped me improve. :P
I enjoyed reading your posts and even if you're only here sometimes, you'll still be a part of my posse.

I still hope to see you around more, but there's always Facebook. BTW, I'm going to assume you're doing +1 in sex tally every day, even if you don't say so!

I wish, when other staffers have problems with the ones who don't put the effort in, they would stay, and try and get rid of the others instead... that's always seemed far mor pragmatic.
