The Ex Staff, What were you? Options

[S-Majere]

OK, so I've noticed recently via people's comments that a lot of members used to be members of CB staff - and then stepped down for whatever reason. I thought (seeing as I boggled at some revelations) that ex-staff could post here what they were, and why (if appropriate) they stepped down.

Members that have never been staff can also voice who was what, and current staffies can post previous positions.

I was Xanga Staff and then Design Staff back in 04-05 but I stepped down eventually because I got pissed off with one of our Admins at the time because she seemed to think that if a design staffer had ANY GRAPHICS at all on their hard drive, that they were obligated to code them and submit them to cb as layouts, no matter if you actually wanted to share that certain design with cb or not. Her justification for this was because we could "easily do so." And if we weren't doing just that, we weren't doing our jobs... even if we had about 30 layouts at the time, and still managed to submit one per week, plus keep up with the queue and stay active in the RC. She was an idiot and still is.

When I asked her to demote me, she refused to for a good couple hours because she seemed convinced that in order to demote me it had to be a unanimous decision by all three admins at the time. Like it wasn't obvious to her that if someone was ASKING to be demoted, it was a completely different situation than if someone was GETTING demoted for something like inactivity. So I stalked all her posts on the forum and replied to them with "DEMOD ME" in bold caps until she finally had the guts to do it.

Good times.

For the record, I think I pwn her silly ass in terms of adminship.

I was Head Staff, but got demodded for giving Anna access to the board room and backstage. Anna told Steven about it and he threw a bit of a tantrum after a while and told the admins... *shrugs*

Sad times.

[xquizit]

My climb up the Createblog Staff ladder...
1) Xanga Staff
2) Design Staff
3) Head Staff
4) Admin

I stepped down because I got too busy with school and work.

[pandora]

Elba made staff eventually.

[rnicron]

I was People Staff. I stepped down because of tact.

I have to be honest, I have no clue who you are.

Edit:
Well shit. I wanted to post up my thread I posted Backstage when we all quit, but I can't find where I put it. Steven, Michelle, Kara, and my's title's spelled out "TACT" though when we posted them.

I climbed somewhere somehow to people's staff once and I actually enjoyed my position. I was on this whole "make cB a better place" rage once (I think I effectively brought back the news forums, yeah). But, I started to have a lot of my time drained by some community involvement plans (advice booth, drum parties, discussion groups, band business). And, I began to lose interest in cB as I didn't feel that my ideology was taking hold or even really gaining much momentum. So, I very informally resigned and left cB for a few months or so (just a few posts every once and a while, maybe a lurk or two). And, here I am again - more pessimistic and cynical than ever. I love evolution.

People's staff.

No one.

Sad times.

I got IP banned for two months because of that little fiasco. That's back when she was my partner in crime. cB was on some other shit back then.

It's funny to look at some of the dirt you mods did lol!

[Insurmountable]

I was myspace staff back in 06. Then eventually I was put up to design staff, then I got kicked off staff for a month.(I pretended to be someone else and then put in a application to be on people staff xD, and they found it to be something or another. Can't remember o_O, but it was as a joke) Came back as myspace staff, then stepped down. Then came back as design staff sometime in 07, then went to head staff, then went to admin, and them mentor, and now I'm back at design staff.


So

was:
myspace staff, design staff, head staff, admin, mentor

now:
design staff

xD

Now correct me if I am wrong, but is mentor the level under jusun?

mentors are not on staff. they have no responsibilities or moderator privelages, they're just there to advise.

It's for anyone who used to be an admin. I'm not sure about Arjuna, though; I remember him as always being a People Staffer.

[DoubleJ]

Ahh...hence the word mentor..Ok thanks for clarifying.

[superstitious]

I'm not sure when I was modded, I know it wasn't that long after I joined though (spring of 06 maybe?, I registered in December of 05 I think). Anyway, my staffing evolution:
People Staff -> Head Staff -> Administrator -> Mentor-> Got the hell out -> Came back -> Mentor -> deciding not to wait until my kid was in middle school, Administrator

Things have calmed down A LOT since my last stint on staff, which was a huge determining factor on me coming back. That and it was suggested that I should return and I felt good about it.

Mentor isn't just below Jusun. They have no modding or administrative abilities at all. Since Jusun is the root administrator, the administrators would be next in line (I presume). And it's Head Staff and above that can become mentors at this point. --ack, sorry J, I didn't see the responses above.

When do you ever read anything I post Beccs?!

He was on head staff too.

:[ At least I pointed you towards gratuitous celebrity nudity.

[DoubleJ]

AAAAAHHHHH, and for that, I am eternally grateful!

I believe that was one of the instances before what he's talking about.
