I use to be a mod on a few boards.
When Staff starts to get "private" or doesn't add to the threads going on, it only means trouble, for some members.
You know, from having the "duty" and "fun" of being a mod, it takes all the fun from it, being a member of the board. I, not knowing, chose to be a active member of the board and yes I was banned for it but I had fun, new management didn't have a thing for the very reason I was made a mod to begain with... oh well.
But I do know that when staff ceases to add to the community, something serious is going down. I only hope that I'm not the reason behind all this.
Most of the staff here are "old blood". What you said before, what you believed in, what you don't or won't contribute to now, is frustrating.
As you make more and more of the "old blood" and even some of the "new blood" members of staff, you take away from what this board was once. Everyone of them, Staff, have taken what has been told to them as leaders and have decided that there role is that of policing the board and not being active members of the community.
As I congradulate each Staff member that is made, I feel for them deep down in my soul. No longer can they be members but are now the police of the members that are here. No longer can they be members to do as they wish and write as they wish, but now are subject to the rules that are much more stricter than the general membership.
Basically, what I am saying is that each member taken from us and used as Staff become a non-member in essence(sp).
Sorry, but everytime I see a member become Staff, that member ceases to be a member and it really is sadning what happens.
