Letter of Resignation.

[anon(9485947)]

It is with some regret that I am tendering my resignation as a member of this forum....

The purpose of this post is to offer feedback to the forum. (If you want it... )

As I have been unfairly treated by a member here, who refused to even to discuss the issue with other staff, or provide me with someone i could ask/escalate the issue to

I love the movie up.. but like Doug I don't want to wear the undeserved cone of shame, regardless, just because it may be easier for someone else.

The combination of good manners and the forum rules prevents me form discussing the details in this open thread... however If a senior staff member would like to discuss this with me I would be open to that.

I'm not happy about this, but I have been told that this is my only option...

So this is my official letter of resignation.

My account will be deleted later this week.. I'm only delaying it to offer the chance of feedback if you would like it (or not if you don't)

(to the rest of the staff.. carry on what you are doing.. I'm impressed about how keen you are in the Q&A posts, and elsewhere to make this such a welcoming and positive place... maybe this is just one of those things that didn't work out, and its better that we part company)

If you feel this post has overstepped the line of what is acceptable, let me know and I'll terminate my account immediately.

My fondest regards,
A

Hello,

Some points I would like to discuss:

who refused to even to discuss the issue with other staff

This point is pure conjecture; I, and several other Mods were made aware of the situation yesterday.

provide me with someone i could ask/escalate the issue to

You may by all means email @James Falconer here: james @ mobilenations.com

The combination of good manners and the forum rules prevents me form discussing the details in this open thread... however If a senior staff member would like to discuss this with me I would be open to that.

By all means send me a PM. Be advised: I frequently play a Devil's Advocate; it help me to stay neutral.

As @Golfdriver97 said, the volunteers here are always welcoming of feedback.

One thing to point out - the action that you are wanting taken has three issues that preclude it from being done, with a special emphasis on #2 : 1) no one other than you and the moderators can see it, so it literally couldn't matter less 2) what you're asking for is literally not possible, regardless of whether or not the moderators wanted to do it, which they've explained that they don't 3) Reversing it was done as a favor to you, not because of any error. So what you're asking for is impossible, but even if it were possible, there'd be no logical reason to do it

Another point, as I think you are aware (because of it being in the community rules and guidelines that you were sent), this general feedback is welcome, however bringing it up as a thread rather than as a PM or email to the moderators is technically a further violation of the forum rules.

I'm bringing that up because your tone somewhat sounds like you want resulution that allows you and the community to move forward together - and in the spirit of good faith discussion, it seems like it would make sense to work within the rules of that community.

I know that you have already had in depth discussion with the decision maker on your situation, but hopefully this can help you to understand that this is not the right venue to try to "escalate" the situation and that what you're requesting is straight up impossible, even should that individual want to do it. However, this was already ruled on yesterday with the full informed consent of the entire team, as you know, so the issue does seem to be somewhat a moot point.

I've seen you around a bit and I hate to see you go over what seems to me to be a misunderstanding, but obviously it's up to you whether or not you want to participate. I'm just saying I hope you choose to stay.

I'm not a moderator and I have no influence at all on these decisions, but if you have any questions or concerns over anything I've said here, I'm 100% willing to discuss with you via PM or email as well. I'd like the chance to convince you to remain a part of this community as a member in good standing.

Have replied to both of you in the form of a PM, as I don't think i can answer your points here, without infringing on the rules.

Officially for the record... if anything in the above thread needs to be deleted/redacted/offlined/ you have my full permission to do so. This was not intended as an escalation channel approach, I apologize if my clumsy choice of language made it look so. My only other alternative was to press the delete button, at which point the chance to offer feedback would have been lost.

Thank you for the time you've spent reading this... may the rest of your day be filled with things that you enjoy in order to compensate for this.

I was unaware of this, as I was told it wouldn't even be discussed.

If this is indeed the case, and is confirmed by the full informed consent of the team, I will of course leave with immediate effect.

(Its not that i don't believe you, its just i can't see anything on your profile to confirm that you are staff here.)

I can confirm it was discussed with my team. I am one person. While I may be a "lead" I still involve my team in pretty much all decisions (or at least let them know of a situation). I go by the "Two heads are better than one" theory.

Thanks to those who replied.. and asked for feedback etc. I hope it was useful.

If anyone wants to get hold of me, for whatever reason or to say hello, i'm sure you can find me on other places.. just google my name to see where i'm playing and say hi.

Or find me on twitter, same username.

And now in the words of Douglas Adams, all that reamins for me to do is say Goodbye, and thanks for all the fish.
