It's bad enough that the antimalware sticky hasn't been updated in more than three years despite a consistent barrage of requests. Adding to that, as technicians willing to give up our free time to help users fix their computer problems for free, we're forced to deal with attitude, misinformation, and forum rule digressions; stuff that the mods should be addressing themselves but refuse to.
Now the mods want to remind us that telling new users that their post is in the wrong section is a reprehensible or bannible offense? It's become more than obvious to me that the site mods and admins really don't give a s**t about the time we spend helping their users. They'd sooner place heavier restrictions on us than try to make our work any easier. That's a huge load of bullocks being they'd be losing possible ad revenue to users with infected computers. We're doing the site a favor and if thanks aren't in order, the least the mods could do is stay the ******** out of our way.
I'm done. I'm assing-out just like Rydian did. The only reason I log onto Gaia is to challenge myself with odd-ball technical issues and keep my skills sharp. I don't need thanks or praise, but I'm not masochistic either. This isn't a rally to get other people to quit; do what you want. I've spent a little more than five years around here, and the state of C&T and it's community keeps degrading year-by-year. I'm just sick of butting heads with the site mods over piddly bull s**t and I've hit a personal barrier. Gaia just isn't fun or entertaining to me anymore.
If I don't get banned for this post, I'm leaving my profile up and I'll check back in once or twice a year to see if things improve. Unfortunately, I'm going to miss a lot of friends and regulars around here, but there are hundreds of other technical assistance forums on the net and if I can fit in around here, fitting in elsewhere won't be a problem.
Later, taters.
