Yup. It is. I have many things to talk about, some worse than others. I'm not gonna make a long intro so let's begin:
1.) Doing this last investigation made me realize how much I don't want to mod anymore. I am beginning a lot of cool IRL stuff and don't ever want to put this much time into anything on a game website ever again. It was tiring and I knew no matter what we would get crap from our decision. It's almost like a chore.
2.) Moderator attitude sucks. Mod chat is an absolute disgrace on Skype. It is a huge orgy where literally nothing serious is spoken about 95% of the time. Oh yeah, and let me also say that jericho posted a **** picture and kino half naked pictures of herself. I do not wish to take part in any such thing, especially since it's supoosed to be moderator chat.
3.) Vancy let too many people mod that shouldn't be mods. Jericho did cheat. Yes, there are chat logs being withheld by a third party for reasons I do not know.
4.) Kino isn't necessarily a bad person, but she is the most unprofessional mod I have ever seen. She posted all that crap, and even account shared with banned users/people who weren't mods. It is totally unacceptable and she never should have been modded.
5 has been removed for personal reasons
6.) I've been feeling ostracized from the rest of the team a lot lately. I normally have different views than a lot of the mod team, but when I voiced my opinion on numerous occasions, I was yelled at by some of my fellow mods for "overreacting" or "not being a team player" etc.
7.) There is more leaking going on and I am getting tired of not being able to trust most of my team members.
To sum this up, I am generally unhappy being a mod and I am probably going to get slammed by Jasper for not talking to him about this stuff first, but everyone needs a wake up call. Jasper is a really great guy and I think you all should give him more of a chance to prove himself. He has so much potential.
Personal shout out to Ucklar for being on the team for so long, it's really hard to do.
Also, Jasper, please look for cheating mods to replace me, thanks!
Thanks, community for dealing with my sarcastic posts all the time. I really had the community in mind at all times when it got serious. I promise you I never tried anything against you all on purpose. Leaving modding now is the best decision for me and the site at this point.
TL; DR: I'm tired of modding. Wake up mod team.

BillStickers would be a ruthless Vlad the Impaler of a moderator, lmfao
They are now but I am the life of the party everywhere I go so especially if I am modded it will be a combination of fun and hard work. I'd take no garbage and man I need to save this for the actual application nevermind.

It's not quite as fun as it sounds, don't get swept up by your emotions. Think about what modding will actually be like. It won't be fun debates, it will be reading games
This is true, but if you think you can be a good mod, go for it. I would never suggest against helping the website with what it needs. Please do apply. There are lots of applications, but your applications are being seen. More moderators will definitely be needed; I promise.

to give up a bit of happy fun time to improve the environment of a site they enjoy.
enjoying epicmafia and being a moderator are two polar opposite states of existence
this, except misery and misery are in fact not polar opposites, but exactly the same

yah i wanted to be a mod months ago and i could have made this place like utopia and still could if i was a mod but i dont want to be a mod now
Publically endorsing BillStickers for moderator I don't know the guy but he seems pretty legit

i think rutab expected something of a dialogue to come from this topic, but instead he got what happens every time someone does this, which is 30 people airing their personal grievances and picking up their pitchforks
I'm pretty sure everyone's exhausted their opinions on the current group of people moderating the site. All Rutab did was essentially just reconfirm that they're all trash and that they need to go.
it's funny, because i made a post mocking all the people itt making "well, actually, HERE'S how we should fix the site" posts, and then you quoted it and made one of those posts

The mod team needs a mass clear out and replacing, but I can't see it happening.

It won't be fun for whoever ends up becoming a mod to fix it, but it's something that'll have to be done eventually. I think there are people willing to give up a bit of happy fun time to improve the environment of a site they enjoy.

dude i wanna be a mod now i wanna post pics in mod chat

Reading the OP, I see now that you were a good mod. Rutab is saying the mods are huge circlejerks, pushing him away for not agreeing with them on everything, and I bet it STILL won't be taken seriously. What a site, epicmafia.com.
