Cool

It sounds like you took it very seriously-- which is respectable. Everyone has different management styles. Maybe reflecting on this experience and considering how it overwhelmed you could be a powerful life lesson. I'm not a stranger to being addicted to the site aha. I used to refresh like every minute, every day. (Back when I was wasting away as a teenager in my bedroom. Glad that chapter of my life is over.) I actually enjoyed being a moderator for the first time though. I could just be older, but things were different back then (June 2012 - Nov 2012 I think was my first time on staff.) We had a lot more tight-knit community, getting promoted was a pretty huge deal. I was also very depressed. I've always loved that about Sythe. We-- most of the ones who stick around for the community-- are really fucked up in our own ways. And it shows in everyone from time to time but no one really cares. Maybe you're a little outcast, maybe you have mental health issues, or want to pretend to be a girl, or seek personal validation through posting stupid selfies on gen discussion, or you're blade bro. We all came for the videojuegos and ended up intertwined here for some strange reason.

I'm going off on a tangent so ima stop but thanks for the insightful post.

Also OT: @Andy Samberg Sorry to see you go. I always thought you were a solid member and was disappointed not to see you get promoted.

Being in the aerospace engineering field now which is incredibly competitive, cutthroat (to a degree), and highly pressurized, it sounds so lame but this website did actually prepare me well for it. It also taught me to manage my money a lot better and take note of all angles of your finances. I don't take things as seriously as I did two years ago. I still have a hard time accepting mistakes, especially on a personal level, but I'm better about it now.

I have to agree with the 2012 sentiments as well. 2012 was just an enjoyable year. 2011-2012 I remember Sythe being incredibly lively and I agree from the period 2007-2012 I felt like staff was an incredibly sought after and honorable position. Didn't have the same zest by the time I got it but given the prestige it carried it's definitely a big reason why I took it so seriously.

Hopefully we can rekindle that fire someday. I felt like the 2015 community was still pretty damn good actually. OSRS was booming and bringing in a lot of new people. I feel like the market is really strong in 2017 but the community aspect has undoubtedly and unarguably stagnated. I wish I could offer solutions to fixing that but I cannot tbh.

Though I wouldn't say secrets, plural. Mainly just the ban evading lol. I didn't really feel the magnitude of how wrong it was until I got put into a position of power.

Yeah, I know.

@Andy Samberg if ya trying to actually go for mod don't pussy out too fast like ex did.. look where he is now ..global.

Anyways stay in discord sometimes... tha only good American about when the Europeans wake up. Shinbot kicks the racist people so.

DIE

I'm up there you wanker ucker badders are up

 

Even if Andy was a racist why wouldn't he be allowed as staff? @Mootrucks is a pedo ...rite...so why are pedos allowed and not racists?

Anyways since when does what we say in spam forum dictate how we'd behave as staff or in general on the site? @Shin I know you don't like racists but y?

 

[Syed]

forgive me if i don't shed a tear about the fact that a prolific racist is leaving the site

whats wrong with pedos?

o.o apparently nothing considering your allowed as staff.

Just saying there's inconsistency. Based on how you behave in discord as compared to someone being labelled a racist.

You get imprisonment for being a pedo, not necessarily for saying a racist slur.

I didn't agree with Andy's discord messages being brought up on his application but on the improsonment part I hope you're not serious because if you're I think you might actually be retarded.

No really racists slurs are not much in comparison to being a pedo. Racially motivated other things is different. I.E. going up to a black person and saying the n word being abusive, but talking in context where it is not a big issue like the discord and not intended to offend any person.

You're unbelievably stupid.

 

You're unbelievably stupid.

She's aware. I've told her many times before, but only she can insult herself soooo.
So what you stupid little bitch? It's less true or what?!

 

You're unbelievably stupid.

Yes I am, but really if you're allowed as staff Andy shouldn't have been restricted from becoming staff based on being an apparent racist. What happens in discord or the spam forum shouldn't dictate how a person would be as staff.

 

@Mootrucks tell you friends that, not to be inconsistent.
