This day comes knocking for every mod some day sooner or later and I'm afraid that day is today for me. After I submit this post I will be stepping down from the modteam. It's been a wild 10 months and 10 days modding this sub. When I first signed on I think I told lobali I couldn't offer more than 1 year, I'm falling short of that timeline but alas, eventually everything ends.
Before I go into vague detail about my departure. I'd like to thank the current mod team as well as the now past mods that I had an opportunity to work with. It was a pleasure to clear the que with you :) I know we sometimes have disagreed on things but we always worked things out and came out of whatever the issue was as a stronger team. Truly many of the unsung heros of the darknet are working hard and staying vigilant right here.
I'd also like to thank the user base (mostly lol) some of you guys are just down right hilarious. Nobody likes the person enforcing the rules but somebody's gotta do it to keep the ship sailing on course. Those of you who actually use the report feature for its intention, or simply say the word "mods" a bunch, you truly are helping more than you know :) I will be sticking around in the comments section and I think being a casual DNM user again will be be fun.
The reason I'm stepping down has to due with a few factors, the majority of which have to deal with IRL issues that I wont get into for OPSEC reasons. The other is my general mood / feelings towards modding this community. A place such as this I think slowly turns you into a jaded asshole (at least for a little while) Dealing with the drama day in and day out builds up to a point that I just want to say im done with it and walk away. I dont think its a good idea to have someone on the modteam who is slowly starting to hate dealing with the drama. I can only foresee bad things happening because of that, so I'd rather step down before doing something that might hurt the image of the mod team as a whole. Thats pretty much all I have to say. I guess I'll do a small AMA, so if you've ever wanted to know something about something or my opinion on someone/something. Nows your chance.
And before someone asks, no, a hotdog is not a sandwich.
You've been a mod since the day your account was created? What? Does nobody else find that suspicious? This has to be a typo right?
