Kalmor Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Ooh boy, haven’t been here in a while. O-O I may not stay long, just checking in. On topic though.... Yeeeah… I’ve had a lot of time over the past (over) half a year since I was last here to think about some things, especially with the way I conducted myself around you folks. For those who’re relatively new, I used to be a mod here for a few years - and caused a bit of a mess on the FA side anyway which resulted in… Chaos. Ignoring that, out of a somewhat paranoid curiosity I had a look at what had been said about me following my abrupt departure. A few posts - generally negative in that they describe what they claim was heavy handedness and too black and white attitude (and a habit of “power tripping”). While I know for a fact the latter is an inaccurate claim, I concede that the rest of it has a ring of truth having thought this long about it. There are some users I really liked to have seen gone from this fourms entirely, and there’s a likely possibility that clouded my judgement, and I’m sure on a few occasions it did. I tried to make sure my decisions were as… well… “sane” as possible by checking with other staff, but sometimes things slip through, especially when I was the only one online. I was way too reactionary on more than one occasion, and the backlash from a few people was really getting to me. Generally there was also a disparity between what I and other people felt that the fourms should be like, even with the rest of the staff and myself. It has been so long that I can’t even remember what the exact details of those disagreements were, maybe that just means that they were small and petty anyway. I know I did this at the time but I again apologise to the staff @Mentova @Zeke for my occasional outbursts in staff chat (especially near the end) when I felt things weren’t being done (some would say “being done my way”, but this was just the fact everything ground to a halt) or when I felt we weren’t communicating. That last miscommunication is what resulted in my (permanent) resignation. That’s another thing, I wasn’t actually fired like some here believe. Those who know/knew me personally know what I’m like. It feels like I wasn’t that person when I had the hammer, at least back then. I’ve done a lot of self reflection after the years I had spent here and on its predecessor (FAF). I like to think I am a better person now after having taken a break from all this. Those that follow me on twitter can see that I’m much more laid back now than I was. To those who had some beef with me for some reason or another, I’m sorry that something I did or had a habit of doing made you think that way. I’m not perfect, no one is, but I’m sorry I let my own flaws cloud my judgement at times - and the feelings involved were accentuated by the atmosphere I described in my old weasyl journal. There are times I think back to where now I’d literally want to tell my former self “.... are you serious?”. Are there still people I don’t think should be here? Yes, if they’re still the same as they were. I won’t lie. There aren’t many and most of you are really, really awesome, never had a problem with most. There were always people I considered (and many other people considered) complete and utter assholes (those same people didn’t just target me but fellow mods too).. I guess that reminded me too much of some people back in what Americans would call middle/(junior) high school. I think that because I now had the power to get rid of or punish people that reminded me of those dickheads in school…. Yeah you know where this is going. I don’t need to say. It feels weird looking through threads here again, kinda a butterflies in the stomach feeling and elevated heart rate. New faces, old faces. These forums were my first foray into the furry fandom. They’ve had such a massive effect on me and have really changed who I am. Heck, I had a relationship with someone who was on here and my SO right now is from the wider fandom. Still remember all the good times, funny times, bad times…. Affected me so much during a time when I was still developing as a person. For that reason, I guess this post is both a sorry and a thank you. I may or may not stick around after this, who knows, but I won’t ever forget this place. Kalmor Also if you have any questions, feel free to toss them my way. As usual I can’t go too much into mod-sensitive discussions, even though I’m not one anymore, but almost everything is fair game. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
