I’m really upset at a forum which I’m a staff at; they’re really rude, they lock threads unnecessarily, promote people to staff without even asking them, and then demoting them when they aren’t active, they don’t take ideas very well, are always yelling at people, and the admin thinks he’s God and talks down to everyone. Sometimes I feel like quitting.

yeah that's not a very good way to run a forum. Is it one that you really enjoy? Or could you do without it? If it's the latter, I say just tell them you're leaving and tell them the reason that you just said in this post. You're right, you shouldn't have to put up with stuff like that, especially since you're not getting paid to do that staff job (I'm assuming..)

If you are not having fun then whats the point? I would leave, but not before telling them what is going on becuse maybe they dont know that they are doing anything wrong (though it dosent sound like it).

I say we stalk the jerks, then take 'em out with a sniper rifle after figuring out their admin password.. Then totally turn the board around! Everyone will flock to it like ants on a discarded donught and we shall rule the WORLD!!..
erm..*cough*
or.. you could just quit like everyone else suggested..

Not everyone can be a sweet nutcracker like April. I guess some Mods just take things too far!

People like that should NOT have a board... and people shouldn't join boards like that. If it's not enjoyable in any way, than there is absolutely no reason to remain there. Don't feel obligated to stay if you're treated like crap... Out of curiosity, what forum is it? And yes, april is a very good admin... she rules with a mallet instead of a iron fist

The problem I had with this other forum happened again, so I finally said what was on my mind. Now it seems that they appreciate me even less, and the admin says that I was inactive even though I was there every day.
No one has to read this or even reply to my boring whiney complaining since you've already told me what I need to do. Here are my beefs with this other forum:
• I entered a competition to make a banner for them and the winner’s banner would be used on the site, well I won but they only used my banner for a week.
• They promoted me to moderator without even asking me.
• They asked me if I wanted to be a super moderator and I said
“I'm glad you asked, last time I found out I was made mod when I read my name in the news center. LOL
What would my responsibilities be?”
The admin took this as accepting the offer and made me mod anyways. Am I crazy or did I just ask what my responsibilities would be?
Finally I posted this
“I noticed I’ve been promoted again, I know you asked me but I haven’t given you an answer yet. I feel like I’m being set up for failure here; people are promoted without being asked and then fired without notice. Perhaps you should talk to the staff individually before firing them.
May I ask why you give people jobs when you don’t even know if they want them?
I also feel a little unappreciated because your conversation above doesn’t recognize how I’ve helped in the graphics request; I’ve filled four of the last eight requests in the archives.”
• When the main admin came back he said
“so what have i missed here then ??
and hurtfulsplash u was inactive last time”
And I told him
“Inactive? I was here just about every day?”
Update: I did it! I finally left that place.
