Moderator Changes, V.II Options

[heyyfrankie]

exactly who all do you consider a nazi.

[*Uronacid*]

I didn't respond to the "offending" bits because I would rather not engage in a personal fight like that because I don't think it would be at all productive or constructive. Obviously I would not think I am a bitch; it's unlikely anyone would wholeheartedly agree with a comment like that about themselves, so that "argument" would go around in circles.

Now, like Suzzette already said, please stop discussing in here and take it to Moderator Performance.

Good idea Sammi, stick up for what's right. You're a mod, but remember not to question what you don't understand.

I swear... that has to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Think about it, if people didn't question what they didn't understand then they wouldn't learn anything. There will always be a point in your life where you have to question things that you don't understand.

REMOVE ALL NAZIS FROM POWER don't stop now

Amen

exactly who all do you consider a nazi.

You're a little f**king Nazi too.

It's criticize...not question.

[*Uronacid*]

It's criticize...not question.

God, you got me there. xD

[flaymzofice]

Sorry to interrupt but there are too many pages to keep up with - when and why has Azarel left the community?

[YourSuperior]

She definitely stepped down.

[clarity]

She actually stepped down quite a while ago, for reasons I do not know.

I miss her.

[flaymzofice]

Oh. And left the community altogether too. Anyone know what her myspace address is?

[Rachel]

I don't think she does myspace anymore, facebook is probably easier.

[flaymzofice]

Oh. Well I was never friends with her, just wanted to keep up with her designs and stuff, she was a cool dude.

[*mzkandi*]

Just announcing that I've decided to step down from my position. Can't be doing the whole cB admin thing anymore, no really into it.

Jusun will take care of the rest.....eventually.

[*Moderator*]

Oh dear. Why is everyone leaving?

[*alovesopure*]

So, Sammi is going to be the only Admin? or are you guys promoting someone else?
YOU BETTER BE A MENTOR, MISS KIERA!

[*mzkandi*]

Nah, I'm straight. I'm Bypassing on the whole mentor deal, I'll be around though.


Kara and Jane, I'll miss being on staff with you. =3

[*alovesopure*]

*sigh*... okay.

[*kryogenix*]

Hopefully brownsugar quits because she's the worst.

[*Podomaht*]

Hopefully brownsugar quits because she's the worst.

+1

[*karmakiller*]

...not becoming a mentor

You better be around. Or... I'll come make you log on! Yeah!

I'll seriously miss you being an Admin.

[*superstitious*]

Oh dear. Why is everyone leaving?

Because it's a damned if you do and damned if you don't gig. It comes to a point where it just isn't worth it. Some of it is whether or not a community is right for you, to be fair. cB has become a place (and no, it is not just because of moderators, that argument is trite and ridiculously unfair) where people thrive on drama and less on creativity and actual discussion. Some people like that, I guess. For others, well, we've just grown out of environments like this and certainly don't have much time to be very active in communities that are less stimulating and more e-drama based.

I'm staying on as mentor (for the time being) to see if I can help the staff, especially since Sammi is alone in the Admin gig right now but have no desire to be a quote unquote moderator (for some, please try to hold back your disappointment xD). And no, no one has been discussed as potential administrators yet.

Kiera - you know I understand, that's all I have to say. =)

[Jeng]

what robbi sai, arjuna and suz. fo admin +kc.

KIERA you will be missed, one of the best.

[*Uronacid*]

I think I should be admin. I'm an asshole. I think I qualify.

I'm so happy you're stepping down, both of you. Honestly, I think you'll be a happier person. Bing one of the larger drama creators on this site, I think it's only fair to say something about your statement on cB becoming more e-drama based and less creative.

In the beginning, I was one of the more "creative" and "intelligent" people you speak of. I created graphics, I participated in debates. I wrote essays. Bottom line is, I contributed to this community. I would like to say that I was probably one of the most highly regarded people in the relationships section.

I felt pretty high and mighty. Doing all those good things gave me a sense that I was good. I was better than most. It was a high feeling. The only step I could take was to become a staff member. I actually cared about becoming one. Whatever, it was a waste of time. Everything on this site was a competition. I was part of it myself.

It was a big fucking game of who knows who. If you know someone who's high in the ranks and sits upon their mighty staff throne then you're probably going to achieve a position on staff as long as your slightly qualified for the position.

I guess I just got sick and tired of dealing with people like myself. I was torn down so often. It was stupid. I was being torn down by people who acted similar to myself. People who were just plain better at playing the game. I was becoming like them. I was slowly becoming this self-righteous "intelligent" and "creative" person.

Intelligence and creativity, two things that are relative to the minds eye of an individual's own intelligence and creativity. This was a competition. I know I'm smart... I know I'm creative... why was a trying to prove my intelligence and creativity to a bunch of people who think they are more "intellegent" or "creative" than I am? Why did I even care... They may be more intelligent or creative than me in certain areas, but I know I'm not stupid. The life I lead proves that to me.

I looked at the things I had. I said to myself, "I have a beautiful and intelligent girlfriend, an awesome job, a million friends (in real life)... WHY THE FUCK DO I CARE?" I asked myself those questions, and then I became a total prick.

You guys think way to highly of yourselves... I'm sure you hear it all the time. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. That's just the way it is. If you guys treat the community like you're better than them (which you did for a very long time). The community is going to give you the shaft (I'm included). So, in conclusion:

FUCK YOU, and here is my opinion.

Kiara (I don't give a fuck if I spelled it wrong), now is your chance get a fucking life. You are nothing but a demi Adolf Hitler. Oh my goodness, some of the things I have seen you get mad about are so f**king dumb. You're just another retard who thinks they're special because they run a children's website. cB will not miss you, but some of it's members will.

Mona Lisa, you're a nice person, but you're also a pushover.

Rebbecca, you're a good person, but your personality changes as you gain power. I don't want you to be admin, because honestly it makes you less fun and it seems like you have less fun. You have never really been on my shit list.

Karen (Dani), you're a poison to this website and it's people. You're one of the biggest reasons staff is the way it is. You're to friendly, and, quite frankly, it makes you ignorant. People can manipulate you far to easily. I hope you never achieve a position on staff. Stay a regular member.

Suzette, you know... although you have been on this site for a long time, you get mad at the dumbest shit. It's so retarded, you're just going to turn into another Kiarra. You'll get pissed, and you'll do stupid things to the site and it's members. I hope you never attain this position.

Sammi, I like you, but you need to get to know people before you judge them. Like me and Holly, you probably never would have thought that me and Holly would have talked to you that night. I know for a fact that you didn't think to highly of us. I know that you thought I was the biggest asshole in the world. I know that you thought Holly had an attitude. It's ok, I can't blame you. Just remember, this is the internet and you can't judge a book by it's cover. Instead of ruling cB with an angry fist (list so many have). Surprise people, show mercy, and above all things don't loose that ability to joke around. Don't let the members of cB forget that you're just like them.

James, I hope to God (does the hand motion) not. You've been stepping on heads the whole time you've been on cB. You're about as bad as when I eat a terribly unfriendly meal and it feels like there is a dagger exploding out my asshole. I salute you James, you're just the biggest chocolate starfish I have ever met.

Arjuna Capulong, you're a great guy. Never lost your touch. I hope for the best. You're one of the few people on this site that doesn't get an orgasm when they view the backstage. I pray you never do.

Seven, you know what. Steven was an a-hole, but I like him. He's a good solid guy. He may be a prick, but he can do the job. Underneath all his sarcasm that he once showed is someone who will be a responsible yet fun admin if given the chance.

Anywho... that's my opinion.

[*Podomaht*]

it's when people like superstitious take CB too seriously. they act as if this is some sort of job or some sort of freak cult.

who cares if someone makes a thread that has no sense whatsoever. that's the whole fun of the thread. who cares if members are bashing each other? that's the thing that makes it fun.

i've never seen such admin f**k nazi bastards close so many damn threads just cause ' there's no point. '

every god damn other thread has an X on the thread.

also, it's not like you have to announce that you moved a thread or that you closed it. it's like you're saying " HEY LOOK IM AN a-hole THREAD CLOSED BITCHES "

or maybe it's more like " HEY THIS THREAD DOESNT BELONG HERE. MOVED TO RELATIONSHIPS. "

what the f**k is the point of that?

[*superstitious*]

@Josh: You might be surprised when I say that there are several things there I agree with. (Not that I think that the way you troll is cool, but to each their own, right?)

Thing is, there is a level of authority that you have to exercise in order to be an admin. However, truth be told it wasn't ever a position I fit well in and quite frankly, didn't like being in for the majority of the time. I came here for graphics and resources and the community just kind of sucked me in, at a time when I was, in all honesty, bored.

I left for a variety of reasons, but the biggest one is that I had fun elsewhere and wanted to spend more time with my kid. I also didn't like how judgmental people have become (yes, it's ME saying that xD). It made me re-examine things, not in a serious stay up all night type of way, because I've got better things to do. I like the mentor thing, and it suits me best. I'll never want to mod again here. It's like how I'd say to people I interview who I don't offer the position to, "it's not a good fit." =)

The creative thing and what not I was mentioning wasn't something I had intended on being interpreted as judgmental or giving the impression that I thought I was better than anyone else, because I know very well that I'm not. I remember how you used to post and perhaps I might have been in the minority, but I appreciated all of that and still think you've got graphic skills.

To come full circle on mod changes, I think both Kiera and myself will be happier. I agree with you fully on that.

[*Insurmountable*]

Wow, well you'll be missed quite a bit kiera



Suzzette for admin xD
