It is time I follow a lot of people (Shadow, GLaPOS, etc) and bid you all farewell. I am leaving SteamGifts on a more than likely permanent vacation. I am done with everything, no one respect each other. It is rare that a day goes by that someone is not trolling someone, someone is not complaining about something and causing problems. I have been thinking about this for a long time and I (along with other people) have come to the conclusion that it is time for me to leave.

Everyday I am on for people from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed, I have skipped schoolwork to help people and watch over the chat. I have skipped out on playing games that I would truly enjoy playing so that I can keep an eye on the people in the chat. I'm done doing that now, I am done with the lack of respect and the whining about "Mod Abuse" and complaining when something does not go your way and the mods tell you otherwise. I'm officially sick and tired of it. I am going to do what I want now(as selfish as it sounds). So, I wish you all the best and I will probably come in the chat from time to time.

Good luck to everyone.

There isn't much that would ever warrant me coming back here. But, I've come to say my farewells and respect for you. Another great user and active member to the community quelled by the arrogance of others. :|

You've made the right choice and I'll still be around to talk to, always. ^^;.

Since you haven't been with S.Gifts that long. I'm a mod who has to deal with people in the chat daily and deal with people's problems daily.

As a I said when Shadow left, greed brings out the worst in people.

Take care and enjoy your free time!

No, it does not. They were always that bad. Greed just gave them an excuse to show it.

That's sort of what it means when you say that it brings out the worst in them. They already had the bad parts in them, and the greed brings it to the surface.

I always enjoyed reading your posts on here and I'm bummed that you won't be around longer. I totally understand that there's a saturation point for these things though.

Have fun catching up on your games!

Life will always be like this. Do good things, but no matter what, others will retribute with bad things in any way possible.

Meet you in Sovngarde.

Goodbye and good luck!

It was a fun and a friendly ride with you, Ellendi. Hope you have fun with whatever you desire to do. Helping ungrateful people can be frustrating a lot, and I understand you fully. Have a great time and enjoy. :)

It's always a shame to lose such a valuable member of the community. I've always tried to do what I can to help people out on the forums, but I just couldn't imagine being able to do it all day. I will always have the utmost respect for the mods here (and anyone else who takes the time to help people out), and it's a shame that there are so many people who seem to purposefully try to cause this site to deteriorate.

You will be missed by all of the members of the community, and those who don't miss you are the ones who are causing the problems in the first place.

Ellendi sad to see you go, you were much better of a human being than any of us. I guess even the best of persons gets enough if people are this assholish like the most of us are (including me I guess).

I guess people don't know how to appreciate those people who out of their own time and will decide to volunteer to some position. I mean how can these people not understand that volunteer worker at least needs to get back extra respect as he isn't just a support worker. He is a support worker volunteer. Most people I guess don't get that a volunteer support person is not the same as a regular support person.

For whatever reason, this doesn't surprise me. As a moderator, I honestly don't think it's your responsibility to be dealing with everyone's issues unless it's site-related and there's something you can do about it. If people are trolling/insulting others/etc., I see no reason as to why that individual can't be banned or, at least, suspended. I think this stems from the fact that there's no real punishment being brought down from the top to make people think twice about acting in this manner. The reason some people act like this is because they can and they do so without receiving any repercussions.

Please note I am in no way saying that the entire community is bad or that the current mods aren't doing their jobs. They obviously have a lot to deal with but I just think it's time to crack down on all of this, whether it be by forcing people to adhere to a Code of Conduct or having warning messages posted throughout the website. It's sad that people actually have to leave a community that they actually helped build.

@Ellendi, I don't think we've actually interacted before but I do know that you've done a lot for this community and I appreciate it. =)
