I've had enough!

They are volunteers, except for the huge, gluttonous and orgiastic parties that get thrown for them once a month.

Damn it! I knew I should have become a mod!

Is it ironic that most/all of the mods are guys? Is that gay or what?

The last few months as a moderator have been hell for me at times. I don't even enjoy reading Mac threads any more because it all feels like work.

This week has been lousy and not only can I thank my actions for promoting my current attitude, but I can thank a few of you who don't know when to quit. You can blame closing, moving, deleting of threads and posts all on me, if you wish. It's fine with me. I'll take all the blame.

I hope things go well.

As a mod on another forum, I feel your pain, especially when said forum nearly self-destructed this time last year.

Take a few days off and hang in there.

I don't think there are enough mods for a board with this many members, and since all this MacRumors bizness is only supposed to be a hobby (and possible career for some of us.......Lacero! ), maybe you just feel overworked and underappreciated. Its not supposed to be work, and it's not supposed to feel like work, either.

i think there would be less work for the mods if the rules became a bit more relaxed like they were in the old days

sure, there were heated exchanges and some swearing and insults, but in a way things seemed more honest as people did eventually work out their differences

the hard work of moderating could be due more to the rules than the huge volume of members on board here

anyways, i really appreciate the presence and diligent work of all the mods and macrumors gods and the growing site of macrumors.com

we are volunteers and don't get anything but our own special forum.....

and lets keep all insults, bannable or other wise, to ourselves

D

Umm, was that "lets keep all insults..." directed at me? I didn't insult anyone, perhaps you took my compliment as sarcasm? If so, I apologize for any unintended insults

As with scem0's goodbye thread, I'm hoping we can leave this here now. Everyone has said their piece, time to move on.
