I, too, thought it was a mutual decision. Sorry to hear that it wasn't.

Yep, I had no say in it, just woke up one day with a much smaller PM box (mods get a LOT more PM space) and a PM from John saying I was no longer a mod. No explanation, nothing. Same with Geekypenguin and AXO Alum. PMs to John requesting further information went unanswered, despite his mass PM to the three of us saying he would get back to us very soon. That was months ago. No PM from John.

So, you see, that's the kind of thing you're dealing with here. Generally, he could care less what the members actually want. He wanted to add avatars to the site, everyone in the mod's corner was vehemently against it, but yet he's probably still going to do it eventually- at least he said he was. Yes it is his site, but that doesn't mean that we have to agree with everything he does. I got tired of the "its John's site he can do what he wants" line a long time ago. I gave him hours of my time, for free, but got no thanks and my opinions didn't matter.

Sorry for the rant, but I didn't know that people thought I stepped down voluntarily. Certainly want to clear the air on that one!

Dani,

Like others, I thought you stepped down voluntarily. You've done a great job here, and it irritates me that you were removed from the position. Thank you for all the work you put in; especially considering that, given the frustrations mod-hood caused you, you invested your time and effort just for the good of KD. That's truly sisterhood at its best.

Where did my post go here!? I didn't say a SINGLE mean thing whatsoever!!! I just said I supported everyone. What in the world?

I would love to do it, and I sent John an email about it, but I received no reply. Thank you for nominating me!!! I spend a lot of time on the computer anyway because I'm a teacher, I am webmaster for my area's AA, and because I run several other websites for alumnae of my chapter. I would also co-sign on anyone who would like to do it!!!

Yeah, I think I later realized I posted elsewhere...

And how does this get bumped when all's quiet on the KD front. I mean there's very little talking in the forum for a LONG WHILE now... I don't get it. Then again, I've never thought we needed another mod. But I'll support KD getting one since that appears to be what everyone wants. Just don't get why. Still.

True... I guess I picked a completely random time to bump this thread. But, the way I see it, there's no benefit in waiting until there's a problem to get a mod. By that point, it's almost too late. Best to snuff out the problems as soon as they arise. Granted, there haven't been any recently (to my knowledge), but that doesn't mean there never will be.

We don't need another mod. We need A mod. We don't have anyone at all. And not at our request, either.

Perhaps I'm just upset about why we don't have a mod anymore and I'm just using our mod-less status as a vehicle for venting. I apologize if I'm stirring the pot; especially if I'm the only one who feels like we need a mod.

Co-sign!

I agree that Dani has done a good job in the past as the KD moderator with our forum. I do think it's important that we do have a moderator back again. I would love to see Annie do it, but I think she's got her hands full. I have some recommendations that I would love to see go to John as well. I think that KathyKD would be good, and even Leslie Anne!

Any takers?
