A thread to converse in instead of using the moderators (request and notices)thread

Not the case.

If others request tags they aren't doing it where I'm looking. Only cliveo does that.

And I don't hate cliveo at all, I enjoy his company off-forum. But on-forum, my visibility of him is mostly "when can we have tags back" and it's a joke that really isn't funny any more.

I feel like I've addressed it, compromised, worked long hours to find technical solutions... for what? For something that even he used to bully and troll others (as did many others)? For something that actually did bring the forum down and cut into major chunks of my time?

And I feel like I've addressed it again and again. I've asked cliveo in the past to drop it. But he brings it up time and again, ad infinitum. And eventually it got to the point that I knew that if cliveo was the last poster on the mods thread that I would yet again have to respond to a "Can we have tags back?" post.

This stuff wears me down. A lot. And it got to the point that I'd see his name, read those effing words again... and I'd feel slightly sick in advance, and despondent that here I was about to waste my time again.

That's why yesterday I put his account on pause, because he did it again even though I had just asked again for him not to.

I put accounts on pause when I want to speak to the person involved. I was pretty busy trying to focus on other things, and this one could wait until late evening.

Except of course, it can't wait and cliveo wanted an answer right away.

I told cliveo pretty much what I've put in this post. That I'm fairly sick of it. And I am.

At which point cliveo decided that he'd take a month or two break.

And that's not good, I don't want him to leave... I just want him to stop trolling me and being a dick.

But hey, that's his choice.

I don't hate people, but people can be right dicks at times.
