Headkilla resigns

[HeadKilla]

I have been receiving negative feedback for my performance or actions while being an ESOC admin. I have also been told that it is a common belief that I paid to have this access. In my defense, I thought I was helping the community out with a donation, never asked for admin access but rather was asked to accept it. I thought that by staying positive in the forums/twitch I would be a good example for others, especially new members. However it seems that I am only causing problems. I will never tolerate or accept racist/sexist and homophobic statements or actions. I do not accept that it is OK for people to make racist comments or share their racist beliefs in a public forum. I am shocked that I am in the minority here and that I have been shamed for thinking it is wrong to purposely offend and upset people of this community for being black and/or gay. It is wrong to provide an place for people to share hate speech. It is especially upsetting to me that some admins and those that make ESOC run encourage and participate in this behavior. I for one, put my personal beliefs ahead of administrative duties. Please remove all Administrative access or permissions I have on anything ESOC related. I do not want any moderation rights on the streams or forums. I also do not want to continue to welcome new members into a community that is tolerant of this behavior and shamming those that agree.

Please recant your resignation and let's continue this thread without that part.

Well I don't think you should resign, I think it's better to have a voice of reason on staff

i think gs and xeelee were going more along the lines of "discussion is sacred" not "racism/sexism is good", though maybe there is something i missed?

[fightinfrenchman]

There's plenty of places you can be racist and sexist, why should ESOC allow it?

OP seems pretty gay honestly lol This topic is pathetic, especially by a community leader. It's good that he resigns.

Seriously dude, kindly fuck off.

[UrvyZnapy]

OK

[Lukas_L99]

What is this even about? Any examples of what was described?

[Imperial Noob]

Elifent takes things too seriously, methinks. Ascribes mean intentions to people who do not have them.

Premature resigning his game is unnecessary. This is a light-hearted forum, and most people raise eyebrows at drama, and are rather forgiving towards others.

Delete this topic please, and move along. If necessary, drink a glass of water.

This but unironically, goodspeed in particular as he's the off topic mod.

Can't believe I'm agreeing with the ear but he's right. I've made the same argument for shitposting. ESOC mods have always seen themselves as some sort of second coming of Christ whose sole task it is to never delete any posts and to allow any and every 'discussion'. ESOC should not be a platform for hate speech. Tolerance towards intolerance only leads to more intolerance. If you want to spout racist content, go to 4chan.

Assessing this at 85% genuine.

Not "always," bumping old threads used to be considered a capital crime

It's sad that more and more dedicated and very kind community members see no other option than leaving the game because of some people who spread hate and don't appriciate their hard work. The same has already happened to iwillspankyou and others before. Also playing the game itself becomes more and more impossible because of insults in lobbies, hackers and a fading amount of remaining respectful players. That being said, I am thankful for all you have done to this dying community and I really enjoyed all the games with you @HeadKilla.
