Before you jump to conclusions, it is not because a lot of people dislike her, or because she's too strict. The strictness of the rules will remain and the staff will continue to enforce them.
The reason I let her go is because of her attitude that she displays towards members in certain situations. It's something she has been warned about before and is nothing new. The rest of the details are between her and myself and any other staff members or former staff enlightened to the situation.
I think everyone here should appreciate what she's done. A lot of people don't see that. She came back here after wanting to escape the stress of being staff, and rebuilt an active and efficient moderation team, to help a community who didn't even want her here. How many of you would have dealt with that kind of bullshit instead of escaping?
With that said I don't want to see anyone speaking negatively of her in public. I know some of you will be pleased to hear of this but I don't want any of that crap expressed on the forums. The mod team have been told to give out infractions for such things and delete the offending content, before I get to it, because if I see it first I'll probably permanently ban you.

Aww, I see. Well, thank you for your service TA. I suppose she'll still be around as a regular member?

She's free to hang around here all she likes.
After she put so much work into the community it would be a shame to see her go, but after the way so many people here treated her I wouldn't be surprised if she's already speeding away.

So will Juno be both an admin and a staff supervisor?

Thank you for sticking around and attempting to help with the community.

Unfortunate, but more than understandable. There's only so much one can tolerate before you stop asking "why do I stick around for this crap?" and decide enough is enough. It's too bad there isn't that kind of "off" switch inrl though, lol. Or in most situations in general.
Thanks for all your hard work.

I was just telling Osay yesterday that I didn't really want to be staff anymore due to some various things. So, this is good.
I don't think anyone will wonder why I didn't really want to anymore... I resigned for reasons not long ago, and I came back despite none of that having changed at all. But, I did it because despite how some people may feel about me, I do really care about this community.
I picked a great new staff, and set them in the right direction. They all know what they need to work on. They have a good set of moderator rules, and a great ticketing system set up. Infraction points and temp ban times all make sense now.
There wasn't really any reason for me to stick around anymore. The new staff are at a point that I think they'll be fine on their own.
I wasn't moderating anymore anyways, and if I feel confident that the new staff no longer needs instruction, then there's no longer a reason at all for me to be here.
Too many people obviously take issue with my personality (quite vocally, I might add), and unfortunately it's a core aspect of myself that will never change.
It's better to not have to be in a position where I have unrealistic expectations placed upon myself knowing that it's not something changeable. It's not conscious thought or action. It's not something that can be changed.
It'd be a bit like telling Ellen (DeGeneres) to stop being funny - she'd probably have a hilarious reply even if she tried not to. Just happens when it's who you are.
I've been conceited and have had boundless confidence ever since I can remember. I was a very tenacious baby, lemme tell ya...
That expression about kids climbing up the walls... Well, that didn't just mean hyper with me. I literally climbed up the walls. No, I'm serious. I clearly remember that I was in a narrow hallway with my feet on one wall and my shoulders on the other, and my back was to the ceiling.
Of course, everyone wondered how the hell I got up there... but, that's just how I am.
Nearly died one time when I thought I was a super hero and tried to fly down my basement. Yeah... the flying didn't work so much. Luckily the silly cape I was wearing got caught on the railing and I was dangling there when my mother found me. At least, that's the story I'm told. I don't remember it... Hell, I had to of been something like 3.
But, yeah. It's no huge leap to say that I've always had a massive amount of confidence. And unfortunately going through life, despite knowing that humility is a more preferred social trait, I just couldn't help it.
I was better than everyone at everything. I was better at sports. I was prettier. I was better in every single subject. Hell, I even corrected teachers half the time.
I remember in some of my classes, I'd have a good 10 kids that would fight over the seats next to me on days we were supposed to do quizzes or tests. Everyone else was fucking dumb, man.
I always wondered why everyone else was so damn stupid and why people couldn't just understand or do the things that came so easily to me.
By the time I realized that everyone else weren't just borderline retards and I was just exceptional, the entirety of my life had already caught up to me and my feeling of superiority had already been engraved so deeply inside of me that there was no changing it.
It's mild now. You should have seen me in high school. I mean, they say Lucifer had hubris. Shit, I would have kicked his little sissy ass and have told him how it's done. Little bitch couldn't even stage a revolt, pfft. I would have succeeded.
Anyways... every aspect of my life, it's just always been like this, and it's how I am. It's how I've always been.
It's great for a good 99% of things in life. I'm very successful, pick up things faster than most, have an eidetic memory, and despite my ridiculously high standards... I've never had trouble, not even at one single point in my life.
Friends aren't a problem either. Hell, I've had groupies my entire life. People have always radiated around me. It's sort of like a natural born leader alpha sort of thing.
Works in person. Makes you look like a real bitch in a vacuum. Does not go so well on forums, I must say.
People tend to feel insulted when it seems like someone thinks they're superior to them. I guess it's only natural.
Even if I never say it, and even if it's never intentional... I just have that air about me, y'know... it's who I am, it's how I am. Won't change. Can't change. Don't really want to.
Anyways, I'm kinda starting to write a big ass novel here...
When you get right down to it... being a moderator really isn't a fun job to begin with. Lots of bullshit and stress you have to deal with. Haha, yeah... good luck with that new guys!
But, it really is. You have a lot expected of you too.
For me, I can act 100% professional, like some kind of customer service robot. But that's not a front I can keep up when I post as a normal member. Sucks the life right out of me.
Can't do that kind of thing in the long term. Can't do the whole spot light thing.
I could administrate the shit out of something, but... not when I'm expected to be a public role model and someone expected to engage and inspire the community.
I'm more of a behind the scenes kind of administrator. I don't do well when I have to deal with people myself personally and the publicity of it all.
And y'know, I considered that... but, why bother playing Admin on a forum I don't even post at - because, to achieve that, I would have to stop posting as myself. Not everyone's like that, but with my personality, that's just how it is.
I like the community. I don't really want to just manage it and not be a part of it.
Like I said, the whole polite 100% professional servicebot thing, that's just a front for me. I can't keep that up 24/7. I can't act like that and still be myself. Some people can, but... not me.
Anyways, these are my reasons... If you've managed to read this far without skipping or skimming, bravo! I love you. No really. Love.
:blush:
With all of that said...!
Y NO MORE PINK NAME

The moderation process that you supervised may potentially survive for years. You set the foundation for something greater than yourself and gained nothing from it but memories. I can ask nothing more of you.
Thank you for your guidance.

Had absolutely nothing to do with that.
And yes, it is bad.
