Some cared; many enjoyed them - obviously, since people were making them all the time.  That's the point.  Also, there's no need to be condescending. I think most users are more than mentally capabale of understanding the extreme stress you deal with.  It's right up there with fighting the Taliban and heart surgery. 

The goal of my post wasn't to be condescending, rather, to present you with two facts...

  • A. People cared about the volume of NX threads. We did something about that. You claimed nobody cared, which was false. 
  • B. Being a regualr user is far less stressful than being a mod. That is a bottom line. The point works itself into the theme of the thread (which was why I quoted you).

Good, it was supposed to be.  It was a douche response to a douche comment.  Or maybe you feel you're not capable of dealing with the emotional trauma of being a mod?  Apparently it's beyond comprehension.  One of the only ways you can find out what it's like is allow Darth Vader to stab you.
If being honest with you is "douchey", in your view, I can't do anything about that. If you're prepared to make a comment like "x person was a terrible mod", and then try to explain what it is to be a mod, then you gave an invitation to fill in some blanks. ;P

CGI always sounds condescending
I didn't know you could hear me through text!

-Saying being a mod is more stressful than not is fine - of course it is, as it adds responsibility.  Saying average users can't comprehend the stress levels a douche comment.

-You did something about NX threads that was against the long-standing guidelines of the forum, it was a poor decision, and you reversed it.

-Star was a bad mod.  I gave an example of why - the NX decision was a poor decision.  He gave other examples himself in this very thread.  As a general principal of fairness in law, all laws should be universal and consistent.  So, you shouldn't make an arbitrary rule that all NX discussion must be in one thread.  If it's a good rule it should apply to all hardware, and you would have one thread for each piece of hardware.  Obviously that would be stupid, and once you see that if the rule is applied universally and doesn't work, you sould be able to see that you have stepped across from objectivity to personal preference.  A forum is it's members; their posts and opinions are its content. The mod team should exist to encourage this content to grow as much as possible. My observation is that Star tended to allow his own preference for how discussion should take place or his own feelings on a topic to impede his mission to assist The Forum with its univeral goal of simply allow the discussion to take place.
