what about me

Hello,
at first thanks for all supporting comments. Regarding the explained doubts, following words ...

E=mc2 wrote:1.He is a player on tour.

I didn't come up with any contradictory to moderate the Challenger Tour and being an active player at the World Tour. Furthermore were / are every moderators active players.

E=mc2 wrote:2.He seems to be biased when he loses [...]

This is an esporting competition and we all know the McEnroe moments. To lose sometimes the temper, give up or find some inappropriate words for the opponent is quite normal and proofs just the passion for the respective sport. Nonetheless we settled any disputes via Skype and, which is the decisive factor in this case, I acted the part of a player, not of a moderator.

Nigogu wrote:1. He has some unreleased/unfinished projects with no specific reason for leaving them.

I won't release it because I asked several times for support by the "modding community" and got nothing except requests for a download link / release date.

Nigogu wrote:2. As he courageously said, he had a ban for multiple accounts. That case occured when his activity was pretty low, but lies are lies and liars never change (hopefully he changed).

I already took an unequivocal stand on this topic in my application.

Nigogu wrote:3. His trollish posts (aka: bringvictory.com, mocking, and all the plenty of his jokes) show an attitude that wouldn't be appropriate as a mod.

I am a human, not a bot. This is a part of my humour and has never touched a personally spot .... if anybody feel sore about it, a message will be enough to delete the post / stop it. Furthermore I clarified this here: viewtopic.php?p=202761#p202761

Nigogu wrote:4. Following his words, a possible retire would be planned for the start of 2015, which (i guess), forces the community to choose another mod within some few months.

Possible work as a moderator will remain unaffected by my activity as a player.

Kind regards,
Heinrich von Westphalen.

Although I stick with Heinrich, I think you can do a better job than the current mods at least. But I guess they won't consider changing them. :unsure:

That's a very mature answer. Seems like you are worthy of a person to be a mod. If you were not a current player then I would have supported you.

Honestly, I was always against the idea of players who play tour and moderate simultaneously. I don't like even current Mods for this reason. A Mod who plays tour, can be very manipulative, considering that the power is in his hands and he can control the outcome if he wishes to....This can be very bad for the people who are against him. Kuga/Sher@z proved it.
Nadi Madi deserved Paris title back in 2013 when he beat Sher@z 6-4,6-4 in SF and lost by RL to Kuga in final. That's a 1000 Masters title. But no one gave him the title back yet...... Its a shame he has to ask for the title which was stolen from him.
Nadi Madi didn't ask yet and I respect it--->great behavior.......Mods what are you doing??? As usual on drugs :drunken:
