Started from the bottom now we here
Any new Sythe user can make it to the top.
When I joined this site, I never imagined I'd do 1/10th of what I have been able to accomplish around here. I always joke about "retirement" from staff. I will stay on the staff as long as I and they (the staff) think I can still contribute. I made 2,000 posts as a non staff member and over 19,000 afterwards, many from reports and disputes ofc. Where will I end up in post count? Vouches? Who knows. Even though I accomplished a lot, I am not done around here just yet.
Some days I wish I was a global mod again. Why you ask? I was much more free to run around and wreak havoc on the scammers and ban evaders etc. I know some of you would prefer me back as a global mod, not because I didn't deserve admin, but because I watched the market much more then the average Global over the past few years. As an admin, I am not supposed to be owning scam reports or the dispute forum etc as these are Global duties. Admins have their own duties to do as well, which I am finally getting back into the swing of doing regularly. I didn't do as much "admin" work as I thought I needed to and was capable of these last few months, and I plan to keep up from now onward.
Critics have criticized me before for doing Global duties (aka scam reports/disputes etc) as an Admin. As long as I keep up on my admin duties I am free to help out where needed. This month (March 2013) I am owning the dispute forum, I have more then double the # of disputes handled by anyone else and pretty much 40% are handled by myself. Thats a huge chunk to put on one person. Globals have done 59 disputes this month, 48 by one global alone. Sectionals combined have done 147. I myself have done 147. This isn't a whos dick is bigger contest, I am just stating facts. I consider myself an admin but also a utility player. I insert myself, get my hands dirty and bloody whenever needed. I have the ability to forsee where we need help and then go do something about it. I will NOT defend myself on this ever again. (unless the staff inquire me about it).
Critics like to say I am an asshole, too blunt, big meany, rude, disrespectful, whateverwordyoucancomeupwithinserthere. Theres no doubt I am blunt, straight to the point with zero bullshit involved. I dont sugarcoat things for people. I live in reality, not some candyland on Mary poppins boulevard with sunshin and rainbows. I call it how I see it and that you can never take from me. Also I think another contributing factor to this hate is I am by far the most "Public" opinionated staff member of all time. You don't see me running with my tail between my legs on pardons, I state exactly what I think whether it ruffles any feathers or not. I also am very hard on people on pardons, mainly because when I smell bullshit, I call it bullshit. Banned users often think they can pool wool over our eyes or write up some sob story with 70% of the information in hopes of getting unbanned, well news for them it doesn't work, if ever its rare. I am however trying to tone it down some and say things still in a blunt, but nicer way.
The most critical thing that really irritates me is this one - FireZ doesn't care about the community, he hates the users, if he doesn't like it why doesn't he just leave?
Yes your right I hate the community, thats why I am still here on my 4th year at Sythe /sarcasm. Besides Matthew, I am the #1 donor collector of all time at well over $10,000.00. I took the torch from Spyike and ran with it. I am sure I will be passed eventually, I don't care. I have banned over 4,000 malicious users, probably handled almost more scam reports then anyone of all time, including 650 scam reports in one month alone. That record I can assure you will never be touched. When its all said and done I will be #1 in the dispute forum as well if I am not already. I have protected this community countless times, and will continue to do so. I have over 45,000 mod actions (34.3k which count). I have put forth more time and effort then most would even dream of into this site. I want nothing but for this community to flourish, and honestly I think users who say I hate it are simply just trying to stir up shit.
No matter how much I might not get along with user X or user Y I will still lay down and break my back for each and every one of you if I believe its the right thing to do. Thats just the way I am.
I am not god here, I am far from perfect, not even close, but I am just trying to do the best that I can, and I hope you guys respect that.
Serious and respectful posts will be acknowledged and answered, disrespectful posts....my aim is ready.
