I'm human. Live and learn.

Everyone can get hot-headed, but even so; it should try to be vented. It's considerably easier to not write on a forum if hot-headed than in real life though - you have a lots more time to think about what you write before you post it than in a real life conversation. But the point is, whilst other users may act in a similar way, they are not members of staff which represent not only Zee's business, but the community.

And got more stuff done (with no vB back-end knowledge at all, learning as I go) in 24 hours, than was done here in months. No troubles at all with the owner. I just need to learn how to express my feelings, opinions, and etc, in a better way.
If memory serves me well though, another one on staff basically did what I did, and they're back on staff? Sometimes a swift kick in the rear to wake someone up, is in order. I'd love for another chance on staff down the road, if all possible. I just need to learn to keep level headed about things. And or, put an "inter-lock system" on the computer. LOL!
@xhtml2go, thanks!  |
I'm not saying you're a 'totally the wrong person' at all, you're right: you were great at the moderation, but there's a line that needs to be drawn at some point with what you can say to other members of staff (especially that of a higher tier).
Anyway I don't want to start an argument, just trying to be civil and help explain exactly why I believe action was taken in an effort to be able to move on. Hopefully we've all learnt from this.
