Let's get straight to the point. I would like to clear up a few things about why I quit and why I decided to rejoin the staff team. Yes, I know there has been quite a bit of controversy around my short, two month leave and my recent rejoining of the staff team. So, I have decided to clear up my reasoning for both quitting and now rejoining. First off, as I have previously stated multiple times both in-game and on the forums, I quit for personal reasons. I quit largely due to the passing of my father. At this time, I was becoming extremely stressed out and suffering from mild anxiety attacks. My whole life felt rocky at the time and I was struggling to deal with it. All of this weight and responsibility added up on the night of January 15th. This was the night I quit and it was also the night before my father's memorial service. I had snapped from the pressure and at that time, I decided to quit. At that moment, it seemed like the best option for me. I will admit that I had thought about quitting towards the end of December, but this was never a serious thought and I wasn't truly considering leaving at this time. Yes, looking back from this point in time and knowing what I know now, it would be easy for anyone to say I should not have quit. You would be right. There were other ways I could have handled the situation such as taking a week break to let myself relax, but I did not. Unfortunately for me, I cannot go back in time and change my decision and at that time, I thought this was the best option for me. I want you all to try and understand my situation at the time. I had just lost my father, who I have always been extremely close with and this all happened right before I had mid-terms. So obviously, I was very stressed at the time, and quitting my position as a staff member on Buildcraftia seemed like an easy way out of some of that stress. Furthermore, I was afraid that if I did stay I would begin snapping at other players and creating a hostile environment. That was something I knew I did not want to do and I would rather to leave on a good note than to get fired because I was stressed and snapping at players. Now, over the two past months, my stress levels have decreased and I have stayed loyal to the server. I feel as if I'm in a much better place than I was back in January. I was missing being a staff member and helping out the community, so the moment I heard that there would moderator applications, I was eager to apply. I was slightly nervous that there would be backlash because I had quit so recently, but I was hoping that the community would understand so I applied. I applied to become apart of the staff team again and I was accepted. I was very happy to hear this, but as soon as I read some of the other player's reactions to Razer, Gleba and I getting staff I was upset and even angry. I was angry that people were arguing with the staff teams decision to accept two ex-staff members and I was angry that people were questioning why Gleba got moderator. I know Razer will make an astounding staff member once again and I know with the help of Phoenix, Gleba will also be an amazing staff member. Now, here we are with me making a thread to clear up my reasons for quitting staff and now rejoining. If I left any of your questions unanswered, feel free to reply to this thread or to send me a message on Skype, the forums or in-game. I am happy to answer questions or reply to concerns and I am sure the whole staff team is willing to answer any questions you may have. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope you have an excellent day!
Why people think they can bitch at you without any real reason is funny Just because they didn't get mod they will hold a grudge to you. Yes I have my opinions on the new mods, but I didn't go and bitch and moan and cry to the staff infact I haven't said anything about them ironically. I don't know but its just funny how people are bitchy at stupid things
I am very proud. Also, thanks for clarifying your reasons again Dusty. I see your point was to make it clear once and for all, but it seems like certain people just didn't get it despite your efforts. I think this might be a lost cause actually, kinda like convincing a brick wall of something.
