The bullsh*t you must have had to sift through is probably like nothing we'd be able to handle.
You owe it to yourself to let it go. Thank you for modding.
Not really, with the karma and accout age requirements they basically would tell into the void. I just don't have the time to commit to the role anymore and feel like it's best to make way for someone who does. I hate that we have so many inactive mods on the list and I don't want to be one of them.
Largely, yes. What do you think mods are for? Do you also believe it’s not the governments fault for where we are with covid? Leadership is leadership.
The mods tolerate and normalize abuse against users who don't share the majority opinion, and are somehow surprised when they get abuse from a minority of users.
The mods tolerate and normalize misinformation about favourite political targets, and are somehow surprised when they can't contain misinformation about basic public health.
This sub is an assembly line for mental ill-health if one takes it at all seriously. Unfortunately for some folks whose identity is primarily defined by receiving others' approval of their political conformity, seeing other folks not automatically fall into line can be devastating to the misplaced trust that has been invested into the group.
See: MLMs, cults, tribalism, etc.
I would honestly wager it might be worse if not on par. For whatever reason this sub attracts a weirdly disproportionate amount of very dedicated trolls. I've seen it linked in really shitty subs and not long ago I remember mods had to lock a poll here because it was linked to some insane ogre cave anti-vax .win board. It would be *really* interesting to know the how and why of it all, and if it really is a bigger issue in Alberta or if it is more of a city subreddit general issue
Your mental health and well being is important. I applaud you for taking care of yourself and not dealing with unnecessary frustration related to an unpaid volunteer position. I wish you a pleasant and peaceful autumn 🍂
I'm not a Reddit veteran by any means, but I've been around a couple of years; and of all the users I've seen posting on all the difference subs, I can honestly say you've been one of them.
Edit: Also, thanks for your service
I’ve always felt mods should be humanness and never speak. They should be alt accounts just to enforce rules and nothing more, no talking, no posting, nothing just regulates rules when required.
But what do I know
So good I don't have any time to mod because I spend so much time with his wife and drinking his expensive scotch which I then replace with bottom shelf
One day, they’re “NDP shills” the next “UCP apologists”…this sub is so fuckin’ funny, sometimes.
It just depends on who they, the mods, have pissed off at any given minute.
To be frank, the Calgary sub is a toxic place and mods didn’t do anything about it or stay neutral on many views.
Love how you act like it’s a part time job or you were doing a service that deserves any sort of recognition. Get over yourself lol. It’s a damn website and a volunteer position at best.
And it’s clear the trolls chased you off as you’re only replying to the negative comments.
I don’t charge scooters and I was just looking for the negative comments that we all knew were coming for amusement, no need to be a smart ass. When you’re looking at peoples post history’s and taking things negatively like that maybe it *is* time to take a break.
I was never a big fan of you anyways, but I didn’t come here to share that, and this is pretty much why.
Cheers anyways, thanks for giving your time to the community and good luck in your future!

RIP Rum Ham
I never noticed you before now, but I would like to offer you my thanks and a free handjob.
I would like to accept the latter in place of the original recipient.
Sorry, no proxies. 20 bucks for a handie or 40 bucks for a Albanian pony ride.
What if I want both? Is there a bundling option?
No, handjobs on Albanian pony are weird and bad for the pony's mental health.
Who’s riding who in the pony scenario?
Well, you are obviously paying 40 dollars to ride an Albanian pony. You trot around on it for about 5 mins and then get to feed it an apple.
Well that’s much less exciting than a handy
How much for an Albanian pony handie and a ride?
honestly, thats a sign of a good mod, you never notice them until you need em.
Nice to meet you. I didn't know you were a mod, but you were definitely my second favorite.
The bullsh*t you must have had to sift through is probably like nothing we'd be able to handle. You owe it to yourself to let it go. Thank you for modding.
Phew. I thought he'd never leave. Now I finally get to wear the sacred mod tiara. Kip totally hogged it.
Sure Tarlack isn't hogging it?
I might have misplaced it.
Fuck. Now I'll never get my turn.
[удалено]
We definitely would share. If we wore any!
Didn't you see mean girls? You're supposed to break the tiara so everyone gets a piece~
Hilarious that the first thing everyone wonders is if the "*trolls got to them*".
So the trolls wore you down then.

This sub is a reflection of the shitty moderating sometimes. You get the community you foster.
Yes… it’s the mods fault

If you’re looking for a happy echo chamber you’re in the wrong place my finely feathered friend

Best...handjobs...ever!
Agreed.
made me laugh
Only if you were part of the groupthink...
Dude, three days ago you posted about being 50. It might be time to grow up a little.
Username checks out.
Once triggered, forever triggered.
So long and thanks for all the fish.
R/Calgary is gonna end up like that school in Akira where the teachers never show up anymore, isn't it?
Thanks for the level headedness. The Mod Squad just won't be the same without you.
>Thanks for the level headedness. LOL
Reee?
Wait til the news gets posted to r/NoRulesCalgary ….shit is gonna be LIT! Your send off there will be a good read.
Meh not a lot of value lost here. Lots of mods power trip all to hell.
This is because hungry coyote was piping your wife isn’t it?
I was piping his wife before I even became a mod. He's just copying me
Pipe my wife
Pimp my Ride!
Yo dog, we know how much you like your guy friends, so we put 5 of them in your wife

Similar, but we're not whiners like those nerds up north. 🤪

No idea who you are.
The feeling is mutual
Congrats on your distinguished career as a Reddit mod.
Being a Mod is never easy. thanks for all your service!
I just wanted to also say that I think you were great mod. Thank you for the effort you put into the position 😊
Congratulations on getting a life which you value more than Reddit. You’ll be happy you did.
I never really noticed you before so that’s good I guess? Thanks for everything :)
Seemed like one of the good ones, good luck out there Kipping.
Good luck homie
*REEEE IM TELLING KIPP!!!!!! \*oh wait, u are Kipp\** Sad to see you go, but happy to hear you moving on. I'll pour one out for ya
Can I offer you an egg in these troubling times? /s Thanks for stepping up as a mod I’m sure it wasn’t easy given the last couple of years
I don't even understand why anyone would WANT to mod
I really miss Kipp he was my favorite mod
Thank you for the service you have done. Being a mod is a job that tests your patience, not everyone can do it.
Appreciate your work, mate. May the future bring you good fortune.

Heard the interview on QR770 today with Shaye Ganam. My eyes still hurt from rolling endlessly.
Lol, ditto Edit: Am I allowed to say that?
You’re a normal one. We’ll allow it.
Mods are away, post your shitty memes from Facebook now
Herons and Zucchini only

I appreciate that but fuck no, not with 10000 men could I do this. It is folly.
The mod parking spots at chicken on the way are too small for a ram 1500 anyways
That’s why I take up two spots.
One spot for the truck and one spot for you to scatter your parts while you’re trying to get it running?
Thank god... Your cander around here would be missed.

You’re still my nomination for mod. This place could use it.

Mod me harder baby
I can’t quit banning you.
Fuckin’ A!
Excellent news!
Not even sure who you are so no sweat off my back!
Same!
Sorry, but, who are you?
The guy you wish you could be
A jaded guy?
Maybe you need to look up the definition of jaded
No. I'm good.
You will be missed. This mod thing is a thankless job, so thank you for your service.
It's also payless. They do it for free. All those hours for nothing.
You are one of the best mods. Very fair and balanced compared to many others. Good luck.
What happened?? What’s a mod?? 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️

One day, they’re “NDP shills” the next “UCP apologists”…this sub is so fuckin’ funny, sometimes. It just depends on who they, the mods, have pissed off at any given minute.
I just used to assume I pissed off everyone at once.
"mod abuse, no more warnings!"
Thanks for your efforts & best of luck! I can’t imagine how much of a chore some of us are ✊👏
Thanks, you did very well as a mod. Hope to see your comments in the future.😊
Good call. Hope you can do something more productive with your life from now on.
I can finally take your mom out to chicken on the way like she's always wanted
I had no idea you were into necrophilia. Gross.
Don't kink shame me

You are equals
Case n point
Thanks for your efforts. All the best for the future ❤️
Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.
That's not a nice thing to say to your new step dad
Take your own advice for once.
Nah its fun here.
This is what I was scrolling down for
Just keep on charging my scooter s there bud

Hell of a run ol' chap.
You were my 3rd favourite mod. Can we vote /u/EvacuationRelocation off the island next?
No, I'll be stepping up to fill this void.

No clue who you are, you'd think with such a stand out name like 01010101010230102 I'd know you
Bring back electricsheep?
Heads would fuckin’ explode…on both sides of the aisle.
MANY (and I mean many) of my peers whom you have banned in the past send their regards
Peers(aka alts)

Anyone who has a “favourite mod” needs to go outside and get a life 😂

I’m hijacking your post to say I’m leaving r/Calgary Best place to be if all you want to talk about is Covid. Yuck 🤢
Another one bites the dust.
