I enjoy being a mod just fine. I've simply been clear that I'm willing to let the role go. Think of it as a Buddhist perspective. @kevdude, I see @Disappointed is a rather old account? Do you know him?
@Millennial_Falcon: I wanted to personally thank you for all your time and input. Very few of these people are aware of how much work this sub put in last year when this issue first broke. Truthfully it was a mess and in need of order. You brought that. Maybe it was thankless, maybe you tired of it. I know I did as a poster and researcher. I had to take breaks. I had to walk away and find “life” again.
And for all the newbie whiners who have no clue why harsh moderation was and IS still needed will never understand. I turned down being a mod twice because I knew how polarizing and difficult a job it would be. My skills were and continue to better spent on research and education.
So thank you comrade. Your efforts by those who know why will always be appreciated.
You have way too much fucking ego to moderate a forum about child abuse. This forum was never about you, fuckhead, and if you were really so nonchalant about the whole thing you would have went and fucked yourself a lot earlier before whatever happened recently.
Well said! I always got the impression MF is the type of rigid, boring IT or accountant type who has very little emotion and too focused on hard facts, but your ego angle makes a lot of sense too
Maybe have some appreciation that I've been doing this for a year, all the while wishing there were someone else to do it. I would rather be doing my part by continuing to expand the Executive Summary I spent weeks working on, but I'm not able to do that because nobody else seems willing to do the thankless job of moderating
That was you 3 weeks ago. I can only go off what you say. I think the best idea is to let it go for bit and see if you can all uncover some more leads while seeing how things go.
Yes, that's true. I am very ready to step aside if someone else can do the modding work, but I won't be removed by kevdude's decree. He's acting like it's a forgone conclusion (because he wants someone who will submit to him readily), while the community hasn't had a say yet, and most who have weighed in support me, even though this sort of thing always has a bias toward attracting complainers and shills (and that ever-present troll with hundreds of accounts).
your commitment has been profound and needed. You deleted many of my shit posts, gave reasons, that is good. You also deleted other posts that were good but something you didn't comprehend. Your God like attitude toward rule 3 is the source of this problem, there should be no immediate deleting for rule 3. @kevdude, MF is a valuable asset to this community, you addressing this issue is appreciated, I am not sure if there will be any resolve without a good flag for posts that are not masterpieces like "underdeveloped/shitty post" instead of deleting them .
Well you say you enjoy it on one hand and on the other hand that you did it reluctantly because no one else would do it, so lets see how the new mods go with this. This could be the best thing that has happened to you and this sub if you just give it time. If it all falls down then it's good to know you would be there to step into the breach again. I think given your obvious passion you might be of far more value if you aren't bogged down with doing the mod work all the time. I think if the shills who are trying to bring this sub down think they have won then they better think again. Having someone like you with the free time to join all the dots together could make all the difference here and raise the standard of other posters.

Kudos to you bro and thanx for digging that up. I was planning to do that myself but you saved me the trouble. He is always a victim, he is never wrong. He says he does not have time to mod, will not let people help him. Has said several times he would like to step down but nobody will do the thankless job he must do.
Now we can watch him make a masterpiece out of the summary since he has time, but suddenly he does not want the time. His excuses are endless and thank you @kevdude.
I look forward to the days when people can see cool stuff to post and not fear their time will be wasted away in vain by having it deleted.

It seems to m he wasn't enjoying being a mod. If thats the case then it's time to move on.

If he thinks he can be of more value contributing more in another way then no doubt he will be.
To both sides of this its time to stop the fun and games and go after the pedos.

Please see the sticky I put up, jangles. We're going to try a 24 hour reprieve so the community can help fix problem posts. We've got one flaired now.

In all seriousness, it seems like a bit of a martyr complex on MF's part.
