After several months as one of my favorite moderators, why is Taurus resigning out of the blue??

I just don't understand, did something happen or something? Please clarify thanks <3 #Pleasedontresign

I think it might have been the TAURUSMALE EXPOSED thread that the creator got banned really quick. @Taurusisaperv. Gotta say after reading it I was a little concerned at my judgement of his AGE becaus I envisioned a 20 year old dude.

Dangit mark do you want to be muted again? he's still a mod last I checked at around 9;00am this morning.

And he's really taking his powers seriously before he gets demodded.

I wasn't trying to speculate...

I leave for one day to do some work and boom. Des has closed her thread and other crazy stuff happens. I do some work for another day. Boom, Tarus resigns.

Can I not love for like half a day without some serious stuff going down?

He constantly warned Destiny's thread, threatened mutes for stupid things like bringing up speeding, muted destroyer_mark for posting symbols, and refused to explain ANY weird things that have been going on, even at the request of the party that were labelled "confidential"

Oh, and Nikki requested that her thread be locked, also for an unknown reason

@Taurusmale67 has chosen to resign as moderator for personal reasons.  It's his decision, and he does not have to explain his decision.

It's not uncommon for moderators to step down, not just at chess.com but also at other sites.  There are many common reasons.  Sometimes they find it takes too much time.  Others get tired of having to take unpopular actions and dealing with the reaction; every moderator on any site, no matter how good they are, will eventually have someone get mad about something they do.  Some people find being seen as someone with authority ruins the experience of interacting with other members of the community as equals, and want to go back to being regular members.  Some people just get tired of the responsibility.

Whatever his reasons, I believe he will still be on the site as a regular member, so those of you who are friends with him will still see him around.
