Apparently, I shouldn't complain about feeling stressed and underappreciated, or about how certain disruptive sections of the userbase seem intent on ******** up the forum for everyone, because as a mod I'm a volunteer, and thus if I don't like it I should step down because obviously I don't make the grade, and suck as a mod. And complaining about stuff makes me a whiny attention-whoring crybaby.
But it's OK for users to complain about how GD is becoming a festering shitpile full of trolls and spammers because the mods aren't doing their job, or are never online, or are corrupt, or are only in it for the glory and power ( lol ), or because there just aren't enough mods. Which there aren't.
Apparently moderators should suck up everything the users throw at them, every unhelpful action, every critical word, every hostile insult, and never, ever say anything about how hey, that's not cool, because that's being a whiny attention-whoring crybaby.
To hell with that.
Why the perception that volunteering for something means you've signed away all rights to be treated as a human being, or to hope that people might make a little effort to make your job a little easier? "You knew what you were getting into when you signed up" - well, no, actually. On account of not having prior moderating experience. I had some idea of what I was getting into, and for most of the last six months it's been pretty cool. I've ranted a couple of times about people doing stupid stuff (like posting in spam threads rather than reporting them, or encouraging trolls), but that generally falls under the category of "raising public awareness".
How many times over the last six months have you seen me complain? Like seriously complain? Like "I'm sick of this crap, it's really getting to me" complain?
Now take your "whiny attention-whoring crybaby" accusation and cram it up your arse. 3nodding
