Ok well I have some things to get off my chest as well. Don't worry... I won't feature this simply because I don't feel it to be of the utmost importance to do so.
First thing... and this goes to all admins. The fights... are getting childish. So what, you don't get along. So what, you get jealous of the jobs others earn. Guess what? That's life. Regardless of if you're on a website, at work, at school, etc... there will be feuds. There will be jealousy. Such is life. Grow up. If you can't handle the stress of responsibility that comes with performing your duties, then in my opinion you don't deserve them. Everywhere in life you are always gonna have other people striving for the flag at the top of the pole. And those same people will try to knock you down to get it. People will tell lies. But you need to be the more responsible one to dust the haters off and strive to be the bigger person. Does this mean saying "screw this site I'm done"? No. Cause we all know that bluff. HELL I'VE USED IT. And you know what the outcome is? You stay. You stay and think everything is gonna be all hunky dory... well its not going to be. Other people, as well as myself, deal with obstacles and trouble in our real lives. We don't need the drama here when we are just trying to escape! Seriously, act like you deserve the powers that Hull gave you and be the person you know you can be. Lying about someone "paying for their adminship" and being jealous that "he has more powers than me" are childrens games. Show that you're mature to have your powers.
Yes I know the majority of admins on this site are kids, but in my experience... a select few of them are more mature than the damn adult admins. That is truly sad. I know I act immature sometimes. Because I like to have fun. I like to make people comfortable and make them laugh, by not being a strict hardass. Sometimes it backfires, as I have experienced as well but you know what... I own up to it. I admit my mistakes and I do my jobs as adequately and responsibly as possible. Everyone makes mistakes... To error is human... but to not admit your mistakes is cowardice and pigheaded. For the fear of people disliking you or you looking like an idiot. Image isn't everything and people need to realize that. Before you face the REAL world for what it is.
Now, to one specific admin in particular, you know who you are. Its time you grew up as well. I am not mad at you nor is this a personal stab at you or your integrity as an admin but really, you need to slow it down. Stop jumping in the middle of issues that are of no relevance to you. Unless someone mentions your name... stay out of it. Kids will be kids. Kids fight. This is not your Daycare. You are not responsible for the arguments between other members. Yes I understand you feel the need to protect others but that does not mean getting invovled in every single spat these kids have. Unless a major rule is broken while the fight is in progress... Leave it. Kids will have disagreements, but it is THEIR responsibility to work it out themselves. Not yours. Many of you know me. I don't choose sides and I never will. Because I have enough to worry about in my life that I don't need drama from here included. If the argument goes too far, sure I'll ask them to stop. But I won't bring anyone into it. Neither should you. Now again this is not a meant to upset you or make you hate me. If it's taken that way... I apologize. But I believe in honesty, and freedom of speech. But just... stay out of other people's business sometimes.
Well that concludes my rant. Just some things I wanted to speak out about. I'm done.
I understand everything that's written in this blog. I haven't been myself the past month or so, I'll admit it. I think I know what I need to do to change that (back on my mood stabalizer)
We don't need immature admins when we have to deal with some immature members, i am not even a chatmin or anything and i always end up dealing with fights and cleaning dirty up, teaching rules and all the stuff
Now imagine a chatmin, how many emails these guys get a day....Must be a hell to keep up =/
Wow... I totally agree with this rant. I do see some adult admins act immature, but it's seriously sad that they do that... Sure, I do stupid things at times, but I do it at a limit. I never go too far at it. Guess some people need to realize that this is a website, not real life. And not bring their personal life here to cause more drama.
