I was asked to Mod, because the owners knew me well. But unfortunately, some things just don't work, and some people just ain't suited.
Now me, I like having an opinion, and often I am quite agressive with it as well
But that reeeeeeeeally botched my capacity as a Mod.
And, well, it ain't easy to un-Mod yerself either
So even if you decide to step down, you might end up never really being able to actually walk away.
So ya needs to take my own experiences to heart. Ya gotta sit back and just look at the threads (yes I know that will suck large).
If a thread spins out of control, you as Mod (which is forum speak for referee I think), get the pleasure of stepping in, and stopping that out of control spin.
But as with referees, you are not really allowed to play in the game (yes that sucks large).
I hated being a referee, just wasn't getting anything out of it. And it can often be unrewarding too. Also needs a person that really just doesn't mind just Moderating.
Hope this has not offended you. I certainly hope this doesn't inspire a barrage of flack or bad commentary as well. I could have PMed you too I suppose. But I wanted this to be a public comment (in spite of the risk).
