Wedding Etiquette Forum

Please accept this letter...

as my resignation as co-Moderator of E (and Reception Ideas).  I've been seriously considering this for almost a month now, ever since I got my new position at work.  With all of the energy I'm expending at my real job, I just find that caring about the drama going on here and following the long posts is just exhausting and harder to do.  I want to go back to having the luxury of skipping controversial or drama filled posts when I want to, or joining in if I want to, without the obligation of keeping track of what is going on.  I find that I'm not even very into answering wedding related posts anymore either.

I won't lie, the E and SB drama and the call-out site just sealed the deal for me and made it a lot easier to step down.  I've been here for a long time and I've seen a lot go down on these boards, but it's just not fun anymore.  I'd rather come and go as I please and not deal with the drama.  THIS IS NOT A GBCK!  I will still be posting, just not as a Moderator.

Annie will find a great co-Mod to work with Squirrly I'm sure!  Thanks all!  :)

  • I can completely understand why you feel that way Dani.  Just know you did a great job as co-moderator and I'll enjoy still posting with you in the future. 
  • Awww, Dani. This is sad, but I'm sure it's the right decision for you. Glad you'll be sticking around as a poster. 

    **Standing ovation for the job you've done as Mod**
  • Danielle,

    I totally understand.  But, I'm gonna miss you!  Please make sure you come around as much as you can!

    I agree with Manda.  I'm sad that you're stepping down, but I can completely understand.  I wouldn't want to have the job of moderating all the BS from the past month or so, either.  You're an awesome moderator, and I'm glad you're planning on sticking around as a poster.

  • Congratulations on your fancypants new job, lady!  Super proud of you.


    Not that I'm here much anyway but I will be glad to still see you here :)

  • Aww dani, I totally understand too. I hope everything goes well with your new position!! :) Like you said, it's not like you're GBCK'ing or anything. So we'll see you around. :)
  • Thanks for being so fair and honest and keeping us in line! 
    I'm glad that you have this wonderful job opportunity and aren't letting a little thing like "moderating a message board" keep you from being productive and thriving at the new job!

  • Totally understandable, Dani.  You've been a great mod, and I'm glad you're sticking around.  Best of luck with the new job! :)

  • Not gonna lie, I'm looking forward to the non-mod side of you. We've seen it a few times and I love it :)

    We all hope you continue to post. Thanks for the great job you've done!

  • [QUOTE]Wow, it's the end of an era.   I always thought you did a great job moderating over here, and I don't blame you for wanting to step down now.  Whoever takes your place has huge shoes to fill.

    This, exactly. I lived in a land where you'd always be mod, but I understand that RL comes first, and that drama can be draining, especially when you have to remain objective. Hey, now you can be even MORE honest with idiots!! :)
  • It'll definitely be the end of an era.  I absolutely see where you're coming from, I wouldn't want to try and moderate the feud either.  Real wedding/vacation planning (8 DAYS!!!) and work have kept me to just lurking here and there, there's no time or energy to get into the drama.

    Your level-headedness will be missed!
  • I hope you keep coming around often! I'm looking forward to seeing the non-mod side of you as well. :)
  • I'm really glad you got your new job, thought it means we're out you as a mod. :)
