I haven't been on the server very long, only a month or two, but while I was here I was welcomed, by a lot of people and sometimes by donors, but less likely, and the majority of the people that I felt were really welcoming but that unfortunately didn't talk to much, other than just quick conversations, as both of us were busy, nonetheless I still felt welcome, and it was good conversing with them, and other members of the community, I would like to formally say "goodbye" to the staff members that have recently been demoted/have resigned. Not all of these people have left the server, maybe not any of them, but this is a goodbye First of is krissy_punk You were, and are a really great Moderator, also one of my closest friends on the server, I'm sorry I don't talk to you as much as I should but I feel like I should show appreciation, after all the things you've done for me, and for this server, I'm sorry for the reason you were demoted, and I'm sorry you think it's your fault, it's not anyone's and I hope you don't truly blame it on yourself, or any other. Second is Dewmellon Ever since day 1 you've been a welcoming Moderator and a great friend as of recently, I don't have much to say about you, although you were one of the best Moderators this server has ever seen and you will truly be missed, I'm sorry if you decide to leave Skyblock, and I wish only the best for you in your future. Third is joecobo You probably won't get to see this :/, but if you decide to stick around and do then please continue reading, you're an amazing Moderator, and although I haven't talked to you much, or at all, you have been very active, approachable, and mature, I hope wherever your path takes you, you go the other way and do what's best for you. Fourth is Bdarkslayer I know you have resigned for a reason of your choosing and that you might be coming back, so this is more of an encouragement until you do , you're a great Moderator, you have been less active lately but it's for a good reason and although I wish you didn't have to resign I believe it was the right choice for the server, you'll be missed and I hope you come back after your EMT training, or "Junior Paramedic" or whatever you wish to be called,. Fifth is Laura_or_is_it You I will miss, but you have assured and promised me you're not leaving .org(better keep that promise :/), and I take your word, so this is just saying that I really enjoyed having you as a Moderator and even though you were demoted I don't want you to think any less of your moderation skills, I will miss you, and I hope you will re-apply some day when it is appropriate to do so. Sixth is Pile_of_Butts Gwism I felt like I should do a joint goodbye, as you were sort of demoted for the same incident, while I don't agree with your actions I'm not going to comment on them, what I am going to comment on is that you were both good Moderators and Skyblock will miss you, in the end you were really demoted for a simple reason and although your time Moderating doesn't make up for that mistake, you will both be missed, and you are both appreciated. Goodbye. 7th is Im Tubeless I haven't really known you, but I've seen you as a Moderator and a big part of the community, you've already decided that you won't be coming back but I hope if you ever feel like it's the time to that you re-apply, everyone in this community is great, and they're here for a reason, whatever reason brought you here, I hope another brings you back. 8th is @Mindsensation(Banned..) I've known you for a while as both a Moderator and a friend, and I think that I'm able to say although you weren't part of the staff team that long, this community will miss you if you decide not to come back(I know you've made like 3-4 forum accs recently, but still) and we will always miss you as Moderator, you were mature(at times), helpful, funny, and one of the many great people we've had to say goodbye to. Thank you for reading and I hope the former Staff mentioned in this post get to read this, and are approving of this thread. If I have missed any Staff members it's either because I don't know of their demotions, it's slipped my mind, or that I have nothing to say about them, feel free to edit names in and I will fill them if I am knowing enough to do so.
Oh, well then.. .-., hope you get unbanned , was it just a general ban for being demoted, or for the reason you were demoted?
;-; So many memories, and being demoted isn't fun. We all became moderators for one reason, and that is because we love to help people. I wish some of you wouldn't of given up. Great things take time. I loved moderating, every second of it. I hope one day to be back on the server moderating again, as well as others. Never give up, please. Thank you Hunter. I am not leaving Forums or .net ever. I love the community and the people far to much. ~Dewy
Glad to hear , I've quit .net myself, but I'll still talk to you on Skype, the forums and if you ever decide to come on .org
The best way is to remind yourself that to be sad you have to have been happy, and if it's possible you were happy it's possible you will be again, and I hope all of you reach that point eventually
Its been more than a month now since I woke up to people spamming my wall about my demotion and for a while I woke up in the morning hoping it was all a nightmare and things would be the way they were before. Then I realized that it was a nightmare I couldn't wake up from. And every single morning since I hoped that I would come back on the forums, see that black bar at the top that is for reports, the name in purple, my name somewhere at the bottom of /list and seeing that mod prefix. That every report I read, knowing I could have done it straight away in game, every one who says "i need a mod" when there are none, every time the red hidden content box shows and you know you could have helped out. Its those things you miss. Theres that empty feeling and that hopelessness felt when you get on the server everyday and see the people you moderated with. See them struggle to keep up with all the demands and the first thing you want to do it go and take over, but knowing fine well you cannot. Then you reflect on what got you there in the first place, the things you did. Somehow I know it wasn't my intention, nor was my state of mind proper when it happened, but I never escaped the fact it was my fingers that tapped those keys, that made one mistake. When you start out as mod and you come in with no experience at a larger server, its daunting. But the satisfaction of helping the server and learning made you feel complete. Being part of something more than just playing the game for yourself. There are those days I relieve the days that lead me to this point, and they haunt me. Theres are times I just wish I could tell cyp the one thing that may have changed his mind. There has not been one day in that month where I haven't felt like a total a-hole for the things that I have done no matter what. The saddest thing was, my sister told all her friends that played minecraft, I was a moderator and then she overheard me talk about my demotion and it broke me. I let her down, I let the community down, I let cyp down and myself. I dont deserve to be missed.
That is what I felt like yesterday, I had people spam my skype and thats how I found out, I feel like I have been demoted for a week, it's only just been over a day. It's only the little things you miss, like you said the bar across the top of the page, the ability to delete and edit other's posts, the time you have to wait between msging and ofc trying to log onto the server you've spent so long on and seeing that you're banned.
Krissy, you will ALWAYS be missed, you're an amazing person, and if you let some people down it isn't your fault, I know I have once or twice, it wasn't a great feeling, and I still think about it. What you did on the server most people on this forum aren't capable of doing(No offense) and you should be proud of that, your sister was proud and just because you got demoted it doesn't mean she isn't, I know she cares more about why you were demoted than that you were, so please don't assume you won't be missed, I for one, will always remember you, and if you never get Moderator back then, that's your choice, but you made something great out of your time here and I hope it doesn't end because of something that was this simple, a rank doesn't matter and you're still one of the most helpful people I know, and I'm proud to call you one of my friends, and I know the rest of the community here is too, so I hope you consider that, we don't care about you being a Moderator, it's a rank, it's 10 extra commands, you're a PERSON, and a great one, we don't care that you got demoted, we just care if you're okay, so please try to be.
I swear.. What you just said is exactly how I feel..It's not a good feeling when you're sitting there trying to do the best you can to help, or when you're trying to get a mod on and succeed, and then as 5-10 minutes pass they're gone. When you're being deprived from doing what you do best, (helping others) it give you a terrible feeling. Ever since my demotion, I've felt so lost and incomplete. I know what I did was wrong, yet you're right it was my fingers that typed it. The mistake I've made I've decided to utilize it instead of let it over power me. It's a mistake I now have to suffer with. I feel like I've let so many others down. It haunts me.. It makes me honestly feel ashamed. With my mistake, and guilt I'm not letting it win.. I will and am striving my best to get back the very thing that meant the most to me.
