I've had a few people asking me, via various channels, about my "sudden" change in status on the LFSforum. Rather than deal with it individually again I figured a quick post might help.
- It's correct that I'm no longer a moderator.
- It wasn't the result of anything I'd done, or any animosity between myself, any of the other mods, or the LFS devs. Quite the opposite, in fact, and I wish the both the moderation and development team all the luck in the world with LFS.
- It was the largely the result of the community as a whole, which I no longer felt that I could moderate impartially. I won't go into further details, even if you ask. So please don't.
- It was also due, in part, to my ever increasing lack of time to post, let alone do consistent and "proper" moderation.
For these reasons I'm taking a break away from the forums, however I intend to return to assist with the programmers forum and various bits of support again at some [undetermined] point in the future.
hey, quick question, will you be back in the moderating job ever? do you know? are you willing to share that info?
i remember you being one of the cooler mod's, and no im not kidding xD
Never say never, but honestly it's unlikely.
Moderating seems like a cool job from the outside, but it drives you away from the rest of the community: It makes you unable to say what you're really thinking or wanting to think because you're supposed to set an example or because what you say will be analyzed to hell and back. That I was starting to resent a bit.
