I have been modding these forums for a while now, and when I first started I felt SO happy to see my heros modding along side me. It felt a Privilege to be working with these Mods, but now I see people abusing the Mod system all the time, I have seen some of the best and hard working mods leaving.
I see Mods spamming threads with rubbish, or in alot of cases just a Emoticon. I see members like 'Tokra' making new accounts all the time just to spam. He should just take it on the chin and come back when he feels he has something to say.
I sometimes feel like Buck is pritty much the only person modding these forums at times. I would like to thank Buck on giving me this chance to mod alot more sections than I use to, but I am giving in my modding badge.
You can give it to some new guy with stars in his eyes, thinking he is going to change the forums, but then find his visions of a intresting forum smashed by a few Idividuals.
I am standing down as a mod to make people realise what is happening in this game.

I respect your decision Bady, though I don't have a mod perspective I do think this forum has gone down the drain a bit. I have had a few encounters with mod personel which makes me feel that some of the lower mods take their jobs too seriously and the supers seem to be sliping a bit.
Regardless - welcome back to 'the public' Bady!

Bad Wolf, This is exactly why i spent 2 weeks harrassing the admins so they could make you a mod...Well, I Guess You dont need it , I repsect your stance. With you gone now, and most of my section mods not being here...well there are problems this is true.... Rest assured, Im not a happy bunny. But then again, i suppose many of you may have noticed that in the way ive been for a few months now, And for that, I apoligise.

Thanks Nicholai, I am glad you can see why I did it.
And Buck I am sorry to leaving your team at a time when you need me most, but I felt something had to be done.
The so called 'Shake up' that happend last month didnt 'Shake up' anything, other than peoples respect for other members.

I'm sad to see you sign off as a mod mate..

Then Id Move to call a vote, If the public Dont want me here keeping an eye on this part of the forum, then i will step down.
As for "the public" Make no mistake, i AM the public, I have been the public here for a very, very long time, And even so, if you think im some sort of powerfiend who gets where i am due to my ingame account, well i have 3 million Units....Il let you work that out
.
However it is very easy to criticise, Im sure everyone gives there full as much time as they can spare it. I cant say anything else, I need to go and draw up a new shortlist of who my next merry helper could be...

Sorry to hear things aren't going well for you, Bad Wolf. I'm not happy with the way the community is going on the forum. May you find hapiness in your decision.
The forum needs to change. Perhaps it's the community that needs to change. Mods leaving, however, is not the kind of solution I was hoping for. It seems like ever since the mods were selected a few months ago, they've been fading away, one by one. They're like an endangered species
Yes, ol' Buck has always been there for the forum. Cheers!

Buck, I think your doing a great job, however it gets lonely at the top

Bad Wolf,
I respect your descision but it is no solution though. What these forums need is that the mod team gets together on MSN and discuss this. I myself know how you feel, I'm moderating several forums and it's easier said then done. Most of the time members are ungreateful and disrespectful towards moderators.
I hope the forum staff will get things sorted soon. Sure this forum has gone a bit downhill but that's just how it is with all forums. Moderators have their real life aswell. This is voluntary work.
I wish you, and the forum staff, best of luck.
Regards,
KJ
