going hardline is something that i always advocate.

I'm not the best at advice, but the very best of luck with whatever you choose to do with regards to both SG and life in general. It'll be sad to see you go if you do.

I respect you very much and I wish you would continue to be a staff member, but if it does make your condition worse then don't do it (that depression part).

You are clearly an intelligent man, and I've no doubt you've come across the work of Rollo May. If not, try reading some of his stuff, it may help you with your condition.

Well, so what do you have in mind for your next course of action?

I think it's hard giving advice on such matter, all I can say is do what you feel is right, but saying you've done any harm to the site is just laughable, quite the opposite :) Also, I am all for more strict rules!

Chat mod, cannot comment on support ticket.

You, cult, lokonopa, yatterman, kaitlyn, wesley, you all have done good. Plenty of good, more than people give you credit for. Honestly, I'd love to see you lot all in action with leomoty, SleepyCat, the other current support and a few more, just so the load isn't so heavy, and the shit you have to put up with isn't so grating.

I have seen you get mad, but even then you keep yourself in check and don't go overboard with dealing with the wingnuts, yahoos, bozos, and skyrim survivors that are out there.

Keep on keeping on until you feel it's not fun for you, then retire, or go on hiatus, or flip cg the virtual bird and dance on the virtual table topless while you twirl your virtual shirt around in the virtual air. Don't stick around if you're getting pissed, or if the outside world becomes troublesome, but do stick around if you're still able to enjoy it.

You are a great mod and whatever you do is up to you, I hope you can get over your depression.

To be honest you shouldn't let a website effect your personal life in any way. Instead of leaving maybe just stop being a mod if it is causing you stress.

Well im not good english speaker(Agentina user here).- First of all, You have to LOVE your life. Then this site. Not all people are bad, and not all good, i think you are a good mod, sometimes maybe you are so brute(dunno the exact word) but, some people need that someone put a strong hand in him. I like the comunty, and im sure that threads that ask about cv or that things have to carry a ban to the user for not reading the FAQ as well. For me you can stay here and don't go. Live is hard, obviusly it is. Thats the awesomnes of the life =D. Want to play chess vs me? :D. Listen to music, do some sports, things that make you happy, i dont smoke, or drink, but i like sports and gaming, be with friends etc, you only have to start looking the smalls things that make you happy (or put you very angry too). Because when u love something it hurts more when u fail. But hey, just keep going until all things start to go well! :D.
you can add me if u want a annoying friend if u want =P.(you will hate me i advise you xD)
Im sure jade give a f*** of what i said u.u

It's hard as fuck to voluntarily moderate something for a long period of time. It's thankless work, don't feel bad about being jaded

If you like it you should keep doing, nothing better than doing what you like to do.

Take it easy, and take care of yourself first, however it may be. Find something that keeps you going and stick to it. If it turns out to be SG, so be it.

Whatever you decide, best of luck, and keep on keeping on.

I vote that you quit.

And spend more time with your smokin' hot fiancee.

I would really miss your feisty replies to trolls/tards to be honest. They always make me giggle.

Anyways, I hope you can get through this depression, don't wanna pull my own shit in here but you're not the only one going through one and I know it's not a good time at all. But I'm sure you'll get through it. So, chin up and good luck with whatever decision you'll make.

Well, I keep reading the whole text trying to find something nice and appropriate, trying to use the right words, but it's not easy, anyway:

Your role here makes you happy? Do you enjoy spending time on the site helping other people or just chatting? Then go on, stay here have fun, we'll give you full support :)

It's hard to deal with depression I don't know if you are under any kind medications but you should talk with someone who could give you a concrete help :3

I wish I could help more, but I don't really know what to say. :o

Yeah I think you should leave. You are too emotional and affected. And your replies towards some people here are indeed too crude, too arrogant, too way out of line at times.

But it's ok. So now we know you have issues which you should obviously fix first so I don't hold it against you. But it's best that you not post anything in case you let your depression affect someone else.

Jade... I love you like a brother. and on Wednesdays maybe a bit more than that. ;) You might be a tougher on rule breakers than some of the other support staff, but that is a good thing. Every staff needs someone to be an enforcer. Someone that doesn't let things slide as far as everyone else. Doing so takes a lot of stress off the other staff. But you are shouldering a lot more stress when you do this.
All I can say is, do what is right for you. You have my support in anything you choose. That said, this community is a lot better with you as a staffer, than it is without you kicking some ass. I hope you stick around.

You do good work and of course people are going to want you to stay, but you should do what's right for you. It certainly sounds like you're having a hard time with a lot of things in life, maybe leaving would cross one thing off that list. If you're thinking too much about it, it's probably what you want - or at least, that's how I try to make decisions. If you love something, let it go. (or however that terribly annoying song goes)

You may agree or you may disagree with me, my 2 cents is as follows.

You are one of the only mods i actually respect and like due to you being the only once that acts in a manner of common decency and decorum, I have seen you at work on the forums. I have witness some of your colder comments, i have even recieved one before xD but i dont mind

But if being here as a mod makes you feel worse then just quit, i mean that in a nice way i have personally struggled with high's and Low's and its not good to continue if it gets to you.

That said if things are good then i would like you to stay but only if you can manage it and want to.

maybe a temporary hiatus if need be.

Im kinda new, help me?

Do what you think is right.

Just from my personal experience, there's really two faces to you. One post can be a delight to read, the other is filled with fucks and cunts from start to finish.

And then you ban me for 'calling out', a two day ban during my damn birthday giveaways for something that was in no way, NO WAY calling out anything whatsoever.
As such, moderators need to be strict but just. You really shouldn't be swinging that banhammer when you feel bad, injustice is murder to any community.

I'm in no position to tell you whether you should stay. Despite my minor problems with you, I can also see you truly work diligently for this website. Do whatever makes you happy.

I haven't been around all that long, and I certainly don't see everything on the site, but I have never run into anything you've done that didn't seem to be the right thing to do. You have been (and continue to be) a positive influence on SG, and I would miss you if you were to leave. Even so, you don't save someone drowning in quicksand by jumping into it yourself. If you feel you need time off from moderating the site, whether for a little while or permanently, then that is what you should do. Yes, you are "doing good," but we will understand if you decide to step down.

In the meantime, you can find me on Steam if you want someone to chat with. I am no stranger to depression, and you might find talking with me to be of benefit to you.
