Part of the reason I have so much trouble being supportive is because of the way I was treated last time I was. I mean granted, I did it because I cared, not for any other reason but it seemed like every suggestion I made, people would step in to accuse me of being power hungry and a nuisance. I mean seriously, I know I was overzealous with moving topics and stuff, but it just seems like that stuff is trivial compared to support. It still seems like support has fallen by the wayside of drama, and I dislike this.

Being appreciated for your support by the people you support is wonderful, but when you're treated like an annoying spammer by much of the mod team, it's irritating, if not infuriating. I don't know how much these attitudes are still around, but if they are, they need to stop, and people who are supportive need to be given the benefit of the doubt more. I mean seriously, you complain that I troll, but your past treatment of myself and other supportive members was hardly kind, to say the least. And it wasn't as if I was just marginally supportive. I was extremely supportive, as anyone around during that time would remember, though some try to deny this.

You owe it to people who are supportive to give them basic respect. You also owe it to them to consider their suggestions without nitpicking. You also owe it to be reasonable with them. For example, putting me up for DOS was completely unnecessary, if I had simply been given a message to shut up, I would have. And many of you know that I would have, yet the whole thing was allowed to happen anyway. Of all people, supportive members should be welcomed, not ignored and out casted. Not only does the ehelp system need severe revamping, but the recognition of strong support leaders needs to go way up.

Yeah, I didn't care before, but I'm starting to care more because I'm at least TRYING to be more supportive. I'm not nearly as serious before, but I'm just giving an account of why less people might want to be supportive. I was frustrated and left last time because of the decline in supportiveness and because of the poor treatment I was consistently given, so it would give me some peace of mind to know that others, and myself, aren't going to be harassed like this.

You admit you're a troll/spammer, so let's not get all "I hate it when people call me that," on us.

And you're not supportive to me, thus I don't respect you.

Yeah, well things were different back in early 2007. Way different.

I've read a few of your eHelp replies, and I do think you are actually a really good support leader.

You know I disagree with you when you say that a lot of eHelps are written by trolls and spammers etc, but I understand where you're coming from.

I don't know what happened with the mods and putting you up for DOS, or how you were treated last time, but I appreciate you as a support leader.

I agree... this site is meant for people to BE supportive, and if the only people who are actually trying to do that are getting pissed off by the way they are treated, then the purpose of the site will no longer exist.

I hope things have changed for you. If not, I hope they change soon.

I'm in a terrible mood but I'm trying not to bite everyone in the ass, but David, you seriously need to revamp the ehelp system. Myself and others have been suggesting this for years and nothing has ever happened. I don't want to hold it against you though, but seriously, PLEASE work on the ehelp system soon. It's a joke now, and it's really frustrating to see people who need serious help being turned off.

I never said they were written by trolls, just new members who don't know what they're doing. As much as we don't want to touch ehelp, we really have to have strict standards for what goes in there, because if we don't, it just deteriorates. The condition of the ehelp system is a lot worse than 2007, let alone 2005-2006.

I really don't care if people call me a troll/spammer. I do it because I'm bored, and honestly I think there's nothing wrong with having a sense of humor and trolling a bit. I just get annoyed when people complain so much about me being a 'troll' and ignore my past history of supportiveness.

If you are referring to the 'annoying spammer' part, that was on my old account back in 06/07. Given that I rarely trolled back then and supported a ton, being degraded like that really wasn't cool.
