I never really told anyone the truth behind my resignation. I didn't resign because of lack of time. The first few weeks of being a normal user, I pretty much had the same activity as I did when I was staff.
Several events led up to my resignation. Ill start at the beginnning. First, around christmas, I got into an argument with another staff member regarding my policy of not being a middleman for feature transactions. (I didnt like doing those because I could not have proof the feature was purchased) I was called a bad staff member and that I didn't care enough about the community to prevent feature scams.
Next up. Two adminstrative things. A bunch of hackers showed up on the server and at the time, it took months sometimes for hacking complaints to be looked at. I was frustrated I could not do anything about this as a staff member, just record people and add to the heaps of videos already sent. I didn't want to be held responsible for something I had zero control over.
Also at the time, many banned users would go into the shoutbox and complain about their ban. I did not like this and wanted to forum warn each time bar the first that someone did this. However, the policy was lax and I could only verbally warned unless it was excessive. For whatever reason, this hasn't been an issue since I resigned so gg to me.
Last and most importantly, I messed up handling a fairly big complaint. Here it is: http://ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/user-complaint-ndm57dcraft.117025/
I mislead a user into thinking they could get their money back. No I'm not trying to shame ndm, please don't take it that way. Its merely to present evidence of my failure. This was shameful to me and I got into another argument with a staff member on the communication platform staff uses. Same staff member as before. I was so shamed in front of my comrads that I impulsively resigned.
Why am I telling everyone this? So they know the truth of my actions. Don't go saying that I'm so brave for doing this but I'm just trying to shed light on it.
And no, I will not be applying for staff here again. I am no longer any use to the community considering the absolute crapola thats been thrown at me the last few days because of my love for all of you. A staff member without authority and respect is useless. You know who you are.

I'm glad you are able to come out and be honest about why you resigned. As your decisions are your decisions, I respect that - thanks for being transparent and honest about your actions. :)

If it means anything, I always thought you were an excellent moderator. People make mistakes but that's all in the past anyways.

You were a good moderator. ;-;
Everyone makes mistakes, but the more I hear about staff the less I want to become staff... which considering everything makes me think many others want to become staff less as well. I've heard more than one staff member talk about being thrashed around and talked down to when they did something others didn't like, even though it was an accident, mistake, or the right/just thing. As much as I love this server, and as much as I love a few select staff members, the staff team isn't holding as great a reputation as they used to.-

If users have an issue with our staff, they need to speak up. @Physicistsmom and myself cannot fix what we don't know about. I absolutely urge users to not be afraid to contact us via forum PM to tell us what is going on and voice your concerns / opinions. Your complaints / concerns will remain absolutely confidential, unless it is a situation where you yourself were mistreated and we must bring it to that staff member directly.
As well if you don't like something @Physicistsmom or I myself am/are doing, don't be afraid to PM us and bring this to us as well.
A community that stays quiet about these situations doesn't help us fix them.

No matter how much people say they are 'psychic', No one is. Its always best to talk about problems there and then because if you don't. You end up feeling like you do @oxwood2, which is left out and alone just because you felt u couldn't handle the problems, but I totally believe you were fine and you handled things well. Yes you did have slip ups... but everyone does at some point in their lives. Nobodys perfect.-

Ox you were a pretty good staff and I'm glad you came out and said this. A few of the current staff won't admit to their mistakes. On several occasions I have seen a mistake made for what was/wasnt allowed and the mod would say something like "Im the staff if I feel something is against the rules it is and you don't need to argue" I also agree with Shane that the number of people wanting staff is less and less.

And that goes for staff too. If there is an issue within I need to know in order to correct these things. Don't ever hesitate to come to me about this. That goes for all of you.

I was disappointed when you left staff. I thought you were a very hard-working staff member and one of my favorite staff too. It's ok to make mistakes, everyone makes them. I understand your frustration on the server issues (hacking complaints). Luckily I have seen the handling time for those get shorter.
Thanks for your time as staff. :) -

Yea I dislike some staff

Oh and not this isn't a rant about staff-I like most the staff here. It's just a few select of them that are troublesome. Don't take this as that I dislike staff.
