I'm posting this as a member, and not as a mod so it is just my OPINION.
There is alot of time involved in running this board. We, all of the mods, HATE having to mod any post. If we had our way, y'all would talk amongst yourselves, never be offended by what other members say, and never leave in a huff. With that said, we do the best we can when modding a post, we don't always get it right, but it would be nice if when we DON'T get it right that you cut us some slack. WE ARE DOING THE BEST THAT WE CAN.
I don't see many people volunteering to step up and take a walk in our shoes.
I'm sorry about those members who had their feelings hurt and decided to flounce, they will be missed. Remember, you can always post ideas in the Suggestion Thread if you have a better way to run this place.

Modding is an unpaid, miserable, thankless, undoubtedly stressful job, and NOBODY is volunteering. And like you said, sometimes you might not get it right, but I hope everyone believes that all you mods are doing the best you can. I don't even know what happened with our crazy wonderful Aleksandra. I'm assuming something got deleted. But, as Q3 said once, if you post on the forum for a long time, it's likely your gonna get modded at some point. I am the shallowest person on ATOP. I never offer any opinions and only flail and post gifs, and I've had a post or two deleted, too. YES, EVEN MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

I wanted to leave quietly, without any dramatic announcements or anything that would remotely resemble throwing tantrums or anything of that kind.
I came back to post this because there are people here who I owe this to. They know who they are. I think they do. Truth be told, I also thought that what I felt for this place and its members was obvious, too, but I was wrong.
Also, it kind of bugs me for anyone to suppose that I left because my post got deleted. I’m not that superficial or immature or preposterous, like to assume my words are golden and cannot be touched. Please believe me when I say so.
So here is the truth: I was told that I was slamming Atop and Atopers. That broke my fucking heart. I was reported behind my back to the mods. That made me feel paranoid. A mod acted upon the report. That made me feel small.
After the lump left my throat and the tears dried, I knew that I would eventually get over it. I’m a big girl. So, what finally made me delete my account here was the realization that I probably would not know what to post or how to post anymore. I’d be afraid to. So that is my final reason.
Thanks to all of you who expressed your regret upon my leaving, here and on Twitter. As always, I am humbled by the kind and loving words: you know I love you back. I thought I was loving you back all the time. I was sure of it, damn it. I guess I can now add delusional to the list of my flaws.
