Well

[Bear Grylls]

As you can see me and carson have been de-modded.
The people who brought quite some change to this website in the past month.

The reason I became a mod originally was because i am usually a very active member on here and browse all sections. Carson became a mod because he is always in buy and sell, making numerous transactions.

Things really did change around here.

Progress was made, BST section improved. More noticeable reform. Members were happy with how the site was turning around. And now this happens.

Honestly, me and carson have done more than the rest of the mods (besides rob) *no offence to the rest of the mods*

Remember, originally the new mods were chosen because we were all active?

We get replaced by Tyler Wheeland who has just recently started posting somewhat normal every week. Along with Madis, who BARELY even posts. This honesty is so stupid it makes no sense.

Travis you claim you've been getting complaints for a week? Really? Can i maybe get a list and possibly screenshots of the members who have been sending these complaints? Because i sure haven't gotten any emails regarding reported posts by either me or Carson.

I'm assuming these "Complaints" are because of the Whole situation with me and Aaron as long as with you Travis, because i do not have you guys up on a pedestal like the rest of the community. I've made probably 1 semi rude post to either one of you. Only complaints I would imagine "You" are getting are just from yourself and Aaron because i never make rude posts to other members. Hell i don't even make rude posts to you.

Not sure how the two most active mods can get replaced by Highly less active people, and meanwhile Brock (who is a mod still) owes numerous people money, and always posts stuff like me and carson do to other members.

So please, discuss this. Honestly mind bottling because the reason you said we were demodded is because you have been receiving pms about people complaining, i started being a tad bit sassy with you guys just last thursday which isnt even a week.

I'm not asking for my mod position back, just curious as to why it had to turn out like this.

Don't lock this.

Not trying to start anything, but I never complained about you.

Fair enough. He just stated in a Pm that he's been receiving pms from members complaining. I can't think of anyone besides you or him, but i don't hate you. Just don't like your outlook on things.

 

[Ben Moak]

Replace one of your best mods with 2 unactive members?

seems legit.

honestly yall complain about this site going too shit so often but then pull moves like this?

still wanna know why this site is going too shit?

heres your sign

I can understand why you would hate me, no hard feelings.

 

[Grant Schofield]

Im fine with Madis as Mod and Tyler as mod i think it will make them more active as well and Ryan i think this was more about age

 

[Ben Moak]

you think that but travis himself isnt very active/doesnt do shit
if anything hes the one that should have been replaced, ryan has been the most level headed and unbiased mod i've seen in a long while

 

[Tom Cirbee]

I think Tyler and Madis will do fine as mods. They have been on the site for a while.

 

[Carson .]

Lol at this site.

 

[Kyle]

you think that but travis himself isnt very active/doesnt do shit

Not actually true. Travis does a lot. Just because he isn't posting 24/7 doesn't mean he can't be active. Travis is actually on here a lot.

 

[Carson .]

So was me an Ryan.....

 

[Tom Cirbee]

No offense Carson but you weren't that qualified for the job IMO.

 

[Bear Grylls]

i never saw his name on anything in the mod section. Ever. I'm not looking to start stuff (or a wall of text i know travis is typing as we speak)

 

[Ben Moak]

No offense Carson but you weren't that qualified for the job IMO.

he was a hardass of a mod, very necessary for the bst section considering it helps prevent people from losing money and getting scammed

(or a wall of text i know travis is typing as we speak)

You know me too well!

I understand you're upset. I thanked you for what you guys did for BST and the site in general because you actually made BST bearable. Seriously, great job. Like I said in your PM, if Trade survives it'll be because of you folks.

The issues with you two as mods have very little to do with Aaron or myself. We don't make personal things influence our actions as mods. I REALLY hope you don't put me or anyone else on a pedestal, do your thing. The issue was how you both handled yourselves as mods. You did great work behind the scenes but your public relations with some of the community was very "Un-mod-like". You both are public figures with responsibility and there were many instances when you were not acting like mature, respectable mods.

As mods we have to try so hard not to become part of the argument when one arises, and although we may catch ourselves slipping (especially me lately) we do not make a habit of it. You two are incredibly active but thats not all you need to be a mod. All of us mods have to reflect on how we act and deal with the ever changing landscape of SR and the choice was made to have more silent, passive mods to watch over the forum. I'll be taking a break from actually engaging in posts unless a Mod is needed as well. There must be an atmosphere change here and this mod switch up is the first step.

Again guys, I'm sorry this happened this way without warning and if you truly believe this site is "going to shit" I assure you we are eager to prove you wrong.

I'm going to allow this thread to stay open for a bit so I can hear what you guys have to say. However, this is my final word in here.

 

[Tom Cirbee]

Yeah Ben but he is also immature. SR can't have mods who make 12 year old jokes and have shitty grammar. It makes the site look bad.

Bingo.

 

[CallumR]

Shutting down b/s/t would be a great decision in my opinion.

So you basically just said fuck you to the rest of the mods not in your "group"? Didn't ask anyone like Rob, David, Anyone else about there opinion? I didn't even get told to cut it out? Carson got a warning a couple weeks ago about him causing problems but not me?

Seems legit.

 

[Tom Cirbee]

I missed seeing when the only mods on here were long-time, well-respected members like Conor Davidson, Matt Dibble, Jordan Jasa, Alex Steadman, etc. Bringing Tyler and Madis in makes it feel like it used it be. I say it was a good call.
