As I said big changes are happening, the first is...I quit as a member of the staff. I am doing this of my own accord. I had big plans and was even appointed to a head moderator position to implement them. After reviewing exactly where I want to be in my personal life, I realise that being a member of staff in Talkfreelance is a serious drain on my life. I see it daily as a negative place, and that is not where I want to be. I need a change, I need to be able to breathe again.
I thank Robert for giving me a chance and appointing me as a moderator last year. I don't regret any of my time spent on the staff.
I thank James for supporting me, and I apologise for not seeing through the big changes and hope you understand where I am coming from.
I thank all of the members who have been gracious towards me and supported me, you are all the reason I enjoyed being a staff member.
I believe Talkfreelance has declined a lot in the last year, and as being a member of staff I have had to try and contain the decline. I have been spending over 95% of my time here lately just policing all the arguing, fighting, rippers, thieves, rulebreakers, spammers etc...Because of this fact it has made me into a tough moderator. I am NOT this kind of person.
I was the biggest reviewer of items in the gallery showcase, I was one of the biggest helpers with html and css problems. I was the biggest helper n the business & legal section. Looking back I haven't really reviewed a design in over 6 months, I havent helped a coder in over 6 months as well. I was voted Talkfreelances best member last year.
I am a community helper, not a policeman.
I love this forum.
Now I just want to post.
Thanks goes out to all who have opposed me, now I can actually argue with you (something I have not yet done in this forum)
I hope I don't get banned
Kind regards, and best of luck to the staff!
