Nice to meet you! I’m glad that this horror story was helpful to you. I can remember days when it just felt so awful. There are so many ups and downs that come with being a community manager and no one really knows it but the folks who deal with it. Best to luck to you dealing with the crazy stuff, and do let me know if I can ever help you out in some small way!

And to be honest only after reading your blog, I have the ability to objectively answer most of the comments. Anonymity is like a cloak of dignity for people to subject decent folk to a life of triviality. Most comments are pure rhetoric.

Very refreshing to find a group of folks that get what we go through.

I do a great job with that aspect of my job. But I do use my blog to vent and to inform others on what this type of work can bring. I also believe that no community or forum is the same. In fact, one cold argue that forums are a different beast altogether. We all have similar experiences but none are the same.

Do you realize that anyone who manages a forum, I’m talking to a lot of volunteers out there who maintain forums in different parts of the industry, get all that abuse and work for free? Suck it up. At least you get a shiny paycheck at the end of the day. There are those of us who do this because we LOVE it and the passion drives us rather then the $$$.

Today, a member whose account was banned sent an email to many people in my organization indicating that I’d sent him a racist email. (You may also recall the time I was referred to as the n-word and the b-word) [...]
