TA badge

[villa_tom]

With all the goings on with the forum tonight, which if I'm honest I don't agree with.

I have asked Mr.doberman to take my TA tag away from me as I don't want any users on the forum to think I may have in any way have anything to do with tonight's goings on.

At the request of admin, I have been asked to post this in the main forum (which I totally understand)

no member of admin has asked me to step down because of my views, I have done this all off my own back as its what I feel is the right thing to do.

Mr Doberman had been very helpful in helping me with this and respects my decision.

Thanks alot

tom

 

[Mr Doberman]

I respect your decision, I dont agree with it but at your request so be it. Always there for you should you change your mind.

 

[SimonG]

[villa_tom]

Tough decision to make Tom.

i also dont agree with your decision tom you are a excellent contributor to this forum,we will act on your orders but i feel people should know your a TA have proven yourself,time and time again and we are all here for you if you need to talk

 

[Dotty]

I'm sorry that you feel you need to do that Tom but fully respect your decision.

As with Simon it's always there for you to take back should you want it.

I don't need to talk mate but thanks for the offer.

I didn't like whats gone on tonight and I just didnt want anyone thinking TAs could have any part in it. I know most people know TAs have no moderator powers, but if one person thought I could have anything to do with any decision made, then that's one too many for my liking.

Thanks

tom

I saw that inferred as well.

 

[villa_tom]

I saw that inferred as well.

I saw it somewhere too and can't remember where 🙂

either way I'd prefer not to have it now. Like you said in a different thread, a green badge doesn't affect what I post so I feel better not having it to be honest

 

[zeebeedee]

Very honourable Tom.

 

[TBServices]

I saw that inferred as well.

As did I, and I didn't like it.

 

[SimonG]

As did I, and I didn't like it.

Having seen the inside of the hallowed green forum, I can (without prejudice) confirm that (whilst I was in there) that TA's didn't hold such power.

I've read this thread and still don't know what's happened, maybe I'll find out as I catch up on the latest posts but if you're out VT I'd ask you to reconsider because this place needs members like yourself. I've come to know you as a respected TA and would like to see you come back.

I'll try and catch up with what's happened (if it's in the public forums) and try to understand your decision buy if it's just down to a bad day I hope you re-think your position here.

Keith.

the TA members have no moderating powers at all, its main idea is your a proven member of the forum who generally has good knowledge and has greatly contributed to the forum over a decent period of time.

Sorry to hear about you dropping the TA status Tom. Seems to be more of an issue of understanding of roles than anything else. 🙁

I never misunderstood my role mate. I knew that it never involved any extra input or decision making and I was more than happy with it, its what other users may think that has the potential to bother me.

 

[Rickster123]

I'm still in mourning Tom. Been wearing a green armband all day.

 

[plumber0808]

You look better Tom without the green badge by your name.

one of us, one of us, one of us. 🙂

No one would think you had anything to do with the goings on, I can see why you done it though.

You're only borrowing him!...

sorry tom i should have been clear, i ment that others may not seem to understand the role and the difference. I think the more greens the less it will look that way so hopefully as the numbers grow it will better understood??
