Hello All,
Over the past several months it has become painfully obvious that I do not have sufficient time to adequately deal with my duties as Moderator. I was aware since before accepting the role that it requires far more time, resources, and commitment than what is apparent from the outside, but I had overestimated my ability to dedicate myself to the role to the extent necessary. I figure a year of Moderation is good enough anyway
It's been a fun ride, though not without its (often many) frustrations. Not pointing any fingers or anything, but I would have expected more mature behavior from some members of the community. And I wish I had been more up to the task and more responsive as a Moderator. To be clear though, this is not why I am leaving, and I am not blaming anyone. It is only because I really do not have sufficient time to dedicate to the role, something that's gotten worse over the past couple of months. I had decided to resign a while ago, but decided to stick around till we could get new Moderators on board. I will continue to play the game as a regular (and more casual) player though.
Given that both Lewis and I recently resigned from the Moderation team, Wouter has appointed two new Moderators. Without further ado, please welcome Luis and Mr. God to the Moderation Team. I wish them best of luck in the new role. You'll soon see their names turned green while I revert to boring old blue.
Thanks,
Polites
