| I dont know if anyone else has noticed yet but the mahou shoujo himself, NTAD has retired many other mods like Rodac (who was dead anyway), Dunois, an IRC mod, and many others I may not be aware of have recently retired from mods and are now peacefully living their lives as civilians why did this happen? was there another large reqruitment recently or was there maybe a scandal O.o? what are your thoughts on it? |

j0x said: but why would they come back in so long? I remember seeing a mod's acc from back in 2013 or something and hasnt been online sincethe usual rumors are that they become busy in real life but i think they become too tired of the moderator job already seeing this site has huge number of people to moderate funny thing is once you become a moderator here on MAL you become less active posting on the forums and then when you quit being a moderator you suddenly become inactive for a long long time, so we might see Rodac and NTAD again maybe years from now again |

| Not NTAD! I was recently retired as an AF mod because I said the female admin was pretty much a hooker and kept saying mal is better. |

| unsurprising how a regular Joe like you would get mod status then |

Malarkey said: unsurprising how a regular Joe like you would get mod status then I take offense! On AF I was an am quite the legend. |

| Ardy you're still here right? Right? |
| As a fellow aspiring Mahou Shoujo of MAL this is a sad news. |
| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |
| MAL can break a mod. The users can be hard to deal with. They are probably getting counseling now. I for one say retired mods deserve free counseling benefits http://www.suicide.org/international-suicide-hotlines.html |
 |
| who cares about mods tho? yay they spent 90% of the time locking threads and banning ppl |
| I don't care much for the mods on a personal level. |
 |
| Tyrel came back just to go away again what a badass, you keep doing you muh man. NTAD never met with you directly but your img pleas were hilarious. |
 |
| it's good since I have a bigger chance of becoming a moderator now. |
| it's weird, it's like when they retire they don't even use the site anymore. They just disappear and it's scary... |
Malarkey said: I dont know if anyone else has noticed yet but the mahou shoujo himself, NTAD has retired That's a shame. NTAD was among our most senior staff members, and although I do not know him as well as some of my other colleagues he has always been professional and friendly towards me. Hopefully he will continue to be active on the website even if he is no longer around in his capacity as a moderator. Malarkey said: many other mods like Rodac (who was dead anyway) I've seen him lock a few threads but I must admit it's been a long time since I last spoke to him. Well, there is little use in having moderators who are inactive. Malarkey said: Dunois, an IRC mod Speculating here, but I suspect it has something to do with real world commitments. I'm fairly sure that he'll be sticking around the IRC and other places from time to time though if anyone wishes to keep in touch with him. Malarkey said: and many others I may not be aware of have recently retired from mods and are now peacefully living their lives as civilians Going through the list of retired moderators, the list appears to have been expanded to include all former moderators, not just those who have retired recently. The only ones I can see who might be recent retirees are Verdantly and Faust, though I could be wrong about either of them. Malarkey said: why did this happen? People have lives to lead, and there is no point retaining a moderator who does not actually moderate. Malarkey said: was there another large reqruitment recently There was some recruitment a while ago, but not within the past few weeks. Malarkey said: or was there maybe a scandal O.o? Oh no, he's on to us. Malarkey said: what are your thoughts on it? Sad to see my colleagues go, but it's an inevitable part of being on this website. Most of my friends here already left a long time ago anyway. |
| Losing an Argument online? Simply post a webpage full of links, and refuse to continue until your opponents have read every last one of them! WORKS EVERY TIME!

| They need MORE mods ffs, there is simply too much users for the current bunch to handle, i lurk IRC for a couple of hours during the day and its like one mib after the other ... and as of lately its mostly @Ardanaz that i see handling them (this is during the time i am active in though). @Rodac will be missed, probably one the very few actual professional moderators on the staff team and probably the one that gets the least hate, most from what ive heard users say about him is "he was very chill to talk to" @Niyawa comes in, drops of a comment letting us know that "he is still alive and kicking" and then disappears again . . . And @Heddie seems to be following the same rythme now (dawg where are u ?! ;~;) Losing @Tyrel would definitely increase the work load for a lot of other mods, as he usually deals with shit before it perpetuates. And some IRC mods are just useless and good for nothing tbh :/ *cough* @AnnoKano @Laep @Dunois *cough* |

| I was sad to see NTAD retire, but yeah... he's a busy person. I'm not going anywhere ^^ ZA_WAYD said: They need MORE mods ffs, there is simply too much users for the current bunch to handle, i lurk IRC for a couple of hours during the day and its like one mib after the other ... and as of lately its mostly @Ardanaz that i see handling them (this is during the time i am active in though). It's easy for me to idle on IRC as my part-time job is from home and I don't have many classes. So I can be on MAL almost all day.  On the weekends I tend to have a life though >.< |
| Not that surprised considering how inactive most of the mods who are now retired were. I'll miss @Rodac I hope he comes back at some point, just to ban me again. Like old times. |
 |
| Yay! <3 ZA_WAYD said: I wouldn't mind more mods, it would cut down on the spam. But it seems to me like users are always going to find new ways to troll no matter what rules get implemented.They need MORE mods ffs, there is simply too much users for the current bunch to handle, i lurk IRC for a couple of hours during the day and its like one mib after the other ... and as of lately its mostly @Ardanaz that i see handling them (this is during the time i am active in though). Also kek as soon as you said that a mod that wasn't Ardy or Tyrel just went on a lock spree in AD |
| It's not like most of them were really active anymore anyway. |
codephat said: It's not like most of them were really active anymore anyway. Exactly especially NTAD i barely see him post , the only active mods are Ghost - Ardnaz - and Tyrel. RIP in Pieces, Rodac-NTAD ! |

| At least a few retired staff members are still active on MAL at least... Most probably just grew tired of it. |
 |
| Good for them to know they are not active enough and stepping down. Shows character, unless if they were pressured to. |
 |
| Lol, feels like just yesterday NTAD got made into a mod too. Well doesn't feel like we're critically low on mods yet at least, so it's fine. Maybe we can have a bit more fun now. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
Coolspot said: MAL can break a mod. The users can be hard to deal with. They are probably getting counseling now. I for one say retired mods deserve free counseling benefits http://www.suicide.org/international-suicide-hotlines.html Wrong. The structure of the site breaks the mods. I've myself, found and exploited several loop holes in the rules that allowed me to do things that I really shouldn't have been doing but did and got away with for a time. Also. The users here aren't so bad, it's the rules and the way the mods are told to enforce them that make people assholes. Good users can flip the fuck out when they're banned for something insane, and the shit heads who got banned for legit reasons, well... the mods have no reason to care how angry they act. |
 Vor uns liegt MAL, in uns marschiert MAL, und hinter uns, kommt MAL! |
cumshotz said: that's too bad they were my favorite mods. even though rodac warned/banned me a few times, he's the most professional mod i've interacted with. no grudges here. ntad was just really chill. NTAD had a lot of my nudes lol... ooopsie, oh well hes not a mod now anyway, I also saw his wiener ;) |

People can be nice and still hate something. No need to take it out on a bunch of strangers. Everything has problems. When you fix one another comes up. Cussing out someone for a week ban or something probably just makes them break even more rules. |
|
| Never really talk to any of the mods, but I guess I wish them the best in life. |

cumshotz said: Lothloran said: well naturally that's what makes mods chill is when they accept nudes in exchange for not banning you. works 9/10 times for me.NTAD had a lot of my nudes lol... ooopsie, oh well hes not a mod now anyway, I also saw his wiener ;) It was nothing like that, at least I don't think so. We used to talk like every day and then he just vanished lol |
| Vor uns liegt MAL, in uns marschiert MAL, und hinter uns, kommt MAL! |
| I don't understand why mods suddenly stop posting and eventually disappear like ghosts. Its kinda weird. NTAD was one hell of a shitposter before he was made mod. Ciao for the retired ones anyway. You will be missed. |
| Send Anime nudes to them. That's a nice party if you ask me |
