I'm gonna post this in the thread Kelmo started, because everyone reads what's in Kelmo's thread
I'm a laid back guy. I said last night, I am probably one of the only guys around whose kids when they get in trouble, beg and plead "wait till daddy gets home, let him spank us!"
But everyone has their limits. I had a bad day yesterday, and was barely controllin my temper on several fronts. But I was pushed. I'm done with that.
I've been in management in one form or another for most of my life. I prefer to work with my employees, teach them, train them, show them where the limits are. But when I reach the point I feel I cannot do anymore with them, then I start writing them up and letting them go.
This is a job, Modding is not the glamourous life you might think it is. And so, like my rl job, I have tried to show some of you where the limits are. But you always push the envelope.
It's a crying shame Kelmo, who is tasked with modding the busiest board on stratics, as well as assisting on every board, had to spend his time here.
I thank you Kelmo, I needed the break. I am back and ready to assume control.
Now, to clarify a few points that were made yesterday.
1. PvP thread...you don't own it, Stratics does. If it gets out of hand, and stays that way, I won't hesitate to close it again. And I don't give a damn how long it has been open, (yes I can say damn *nods*) or who cries about it. Try me.
2. Abuse of power. I think I am fair. Have an issue? notify the admins...
No more public pancakes about mods, any of us. Try it.
3. I'm not here all the time. I work long hours, and have a side job on top of that. But trust me when I say I always look at who has been actioned in my absence, and make note of it.
4. And from the original post, in the PvP thread, taht you guys like so much, a few quotes:
Less moderated does not mean un-moderated.
A few things that should not be in this thread:
Personal Attacks
Real Life attacks
Name Calling
Profanity
No accusing others of using Hacks or Exploits
If a post is slightly off-kilter, I will PM the poster to edit it. Wanton disregard will get a PM informing of infraction points.
No more warnings.
