User blog:Opheuchus/My New Thoughts on this Mod Mess

Now, a lot of people are getting tired of this war, but for what cause? There were way too many mods at a point.

I think that a user who wants to be mod should promise that being promoted would make an actual difference, because if a moderator doesn't make use of their rank, they might as well be a regular user, because here's the thing, I think that being moderator should not be a symbol of pride. Deserving moderator shouldn't be the sole deciding factor of whether we promote you or not.

Now I know why BiggerNate91 didn't do anything recently and why he ultimately left. And now, I feel really sorry for all the pressure we put him in. The community's competing needs and demands were extremely difficult for him to balance, just like how it is for me. However, I will still persist in fostering a stable community. I can't be the one to back down. I can't be the one who is always sorry and depressed at the responsibilities of being a leader. I can't just fill the void with fast food, chips, gummy treats and soda. I'm the man of the house, dadgummit!

Luckily, I still have supportive co-workers. But that's my take on all this.
