So, it seems people are finally getting used to the idea that I’ve stepped down. Among the first questions I always get asked in response to this is “Why?”. The primary reasons are already outlined above, but surely there’s more to it than that, you wonder? Of course.
1) People PMing you with inane questions
“Hi I am new here I saw you are a staff so can I ask how do I get rid of warning and download animes?”
“Hi I am warned how do I seed?”
2) IRC Tattletales
“kureshii .kb [Trollface] plox”
3) Being pinged for no reason whatsoever
“Oh you can ask kureshii he’s staff he should know”
4) Kids
Fuck you and your specified limits, admins always have their head too far up their ass […]
“I was seeding this torrent halfway why you delete pls give me a good reason or I will quit”
I believe the quotes explain each point clearly enough (although usually with worse grammar than in the above examples). These four things I certainly don’t miss in my newly-found normal-guy life 🙂
😀
i approve
Kureshii~~ kb ss23 plox
He keeps telling me I’m an old man 🙁
But you are! 😀
I was told I would get these… I didn’t really brace myself for the level of them though. >_>
the question is “did these PMs etc. stop?!” , you still bare the title of staff after all 🙂
3) Being pinged for no reason whatsoever
“Oh you can ask kureshii he’s former staff he should know”
It is more tempting to ask a “former” rather than a “current” which will potentially save his neck in case of an “serious mis-understanding”
Sure they stopped. I’m not in the staff list anymore after all.
And as former staff I now have unrestricted trolling privileges, so ask away 😉
I’ve never really gotten any of these (even when I was more actively moderating), aside from the amount of #4 that exists in the support channel. Guess I’m just scary or something.
^ you don’t know how difficult it is to type “xcihamiov” to the recipient field! That is the primary reason. It much easier to type kureshii 😀
Your stress levels will drop dramatically.
All that’s left is to take up a martial art to relieve yourself of anything left =P
I know the feeling with all the stress… hope things are going well now
