    .....wait, what have I been doing here for 4 years then????

    On a serious note, thank you so much for writing this.
    People underestimate the effect that their toxicity can have on the staff, and the community is often too quick to forget that we all have our limits.

    Being direct and up-front is always the best way to face a community, and if that means putting some people in their place, so be it :)

    And I'm wondering which moderator it was.

    On topic, I think these changes will probably be for the better.

    Yes, i had to drink my cup of tea here to cool down a bit as well ;)

    We are thinking of employing a secret group of people, that will pre-moderate the forums for us - report content, etc. We will need more manpower on the moderation team for sure.

    I'll leave this here for some minutes, so you get a 'taste' of how some people behave:

    I kind of feel bad for you at the moment. Your not in the best place right now. You seem positive, but I think your pretty stressed from people yelling at you. :p

    because from my very personal experience, giving forum people power will turn them into power hungry assholes that will turn into super-cops, enrolling 100 rules and letting everyone know how to behave.

    Secret Moderators sounds like a good idea. That way they can't be targeted if something happens

    So if that happens and they overabuse power, they are forced to step down. Simple and easy and you still look over their shoulders. But still, if that is your opinion on the topic, its respectable as power corrupts everything.
    But still that could be a way out.

    If you watch Ivan's youtube videos you start to feel bad for him, but then you remember what he has done and what he does and then you really dont care. It seems mean, but srsly that is exactly what happens.

    If some people had power you would have to trust them completely.

    Are these normal issues for most forums?
