Officially stepping down from commish duties

[Deleted]

I'd like to formally announce that I am stepping down from all commish duties/admin duties as of right now. The negative feedback I've been recieving and the accusations of me being a dictator/tyrant is enough for me to hang the job up for good. I've tried my hardest to keep things running, and I'm so very proud of what I've created here, but it's time to move on. I will not be looked at as a dictator as I have always worked in the interest of fairness for this league.

I believe last season in terms of overall activity was our best season yet up until now, not because of myself being in charge of the league, but because we had a league active for majority of the season. My decisions to lock inactive people out seem to have been unpopular, and my decision to give a certain individual a time out here seems to have gone unpopular as well (which is disappointing because all it took was for that one individual to follow the new rules of the forums and it'd never have happened). My decisions seem to have all fallen down the drain, even though I have always welcomed people back into the league who have left us in the past. It has never been a personal thing with anyone, until now.

As for the future of the Standard League, I can safely say I have no idea where it'll go and in truth, I'm not too worried. I've put a shit load of my own time into this league for years, keeping up daily activity and trying to keep an overall presence here. Whilst many may dislike my personality, the fact is I have put so much time into this league and in truth, it's fell on deaf ears with the constant ridiculing of my position. I have never left the league, I've always stayed true to the league, and I've got nothing but bullshit accusations of being a "dictator" back. One individual even stated that I was the reason as to managers leaving. So, for the people ridiculing, all I have to say is do it yourself. If you feel you can do a better job, go for it. I'm done. The league can decide the next person to take charge of the Standard League, I'm happy from here on out to take a backseat, and follow the "InItTowInIt" route (not getting involved anymore.. Happy to be a GM)

Cheers, and good luck for the upcoming season.

The decision is made Phil. This thread is locked (i originally locked it) as there is no discussion anymore. You're all unhappy with the job I've done, so do it yourselves. As I said to reavers via private. As a manager I have dished out and taken as much as ive dished for almost a decade here. I have never taken anything personal up until right now. You can disrespect me as a person, but disrespecting the job and work I have put in to create all of this for everyone is what disappoints me most. I have never demanded respect, and it's pretty obvious with the way I dish out trash talk that I don't expect it. But I will never tolerate the work I have put in here to be ridiculed as it was the other night. End of discussion!!!
