Oh I know some people liked it, I got plenty of positive feedback. It's all the negative crap that outweighed it for me. That and I have an actual job and life which made the little time I had to spend on forums janitorial duties not worth it. But again, SWB is a different sort of cat than me, maybe he has the time and fortitude to make it work for him.

The only things I miss are being able to 6 hour probate anyone who pissed me off, and stickying threads. That was cool. Everything else was a chore.

dad gay. so what posted:

ive always found the best mods are the ones you dont notice. kind of like an offensive lineman in american rules "football". you dont notice them until they gently caress it up and get your quarterback concussed and then the backup comes in and he loving sucks because he was drunk all week and didnt give a poo poo. now its his time to shine and he is hosed too. so he throws a pass off someones head and gets a pick 6 and your team just lost the loving superboal. now you have to wait like 2 weeks for the season to start again so you get into heroin and start hanging around with hookers and charlie sheen and OF COURSE you contract the deadly AIDS virus. great. no insurance, you are kicked out of your apartment because you kept setting the carpet on fire because you kept falling asleep with cigarettes in your mouth and all of the oily rags. so now your on the street. you accept your fate and walk in front of a garbage truck.

(USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST FOR A DAY BECAUSE IM LOSING MY poo poo)

here is an example of thoughtful and wise moderation.

I'll let you in on a little secret

Everytime Franco reported someone, no matter what the outcome was, I always ended my report with "gently caress you Franco"

Nobody outside the mod forums knew that until now

one of his reports was acted on by a mod that didnt even read my post (ralp) and it got me banned

just another segment of the franco "im stepping down but only because im being doxxed not because im a lovely mod/poster that people hate. no really im being doxxed this is totally not a lie. really" saga

He really did get doxed. One day so guy posted the same weird story over and over in a bunch of threads with some pictures. After it was all deleted and the guy was permabanned people said the pictures were of his sister, I guess. It was a weird day.

yeah that sounds really interesting what with someone on the internet saying a picture is of a mods sister

ahem
and now we wait for you to get banned for "Spreading extremely creepy and false rumors about a poster's family for purposes of harassment." report courtesy of franco

I assume it really was his sister, because the meltdown would have been even more inexplicable if it was just some random chick, lol.

latching on to something to blame for having to step down after capping off a lackluster tenure of making gbs worse by closing the megathreads and every single person complaining that he is a terrible mod is the opposite of inexplicable
