Though now it seems he has quit because he doesn't like a certain user. As a mod, I wish he would have discussed that decision with me first. Maybe he informed other mods that his feelings were so strong he couldn't feel like he could stay with the site, but I was in the dark and disappointed to see that.

About the whole mod thing, I think it would be the right thing for him to be the mod of the language section, that it would save him the time he spends reporting spamers and arguing with those who have no knowledge of Japanese language.

I had no idea that Nagoyankee had gone. He was one of the most helpful members here. He's helped me quite a bit of times, especially with Japanese letter writing. His being mod of the language section (which I'm sure I nominated him for when new mods were being picked), was a good choice.

The fact that you say that you find him leaving the site because of a certain user is childish contradicts the fact that you think he should moderate the language section, and to me, I think it's good that he left if he couldn't take a certain person anymore; had he been a mod for that section, I feel that some people might have be banned just because he didn't like them, or because he got a bad impression. With great power comes great responsibility, after all, and if a person can't handle a few idiots, then they are not qualified for that position.

And because I have posted this, some people might get the wrong impression of me, come here and start giving me a hard time when I just want to know the answer to my first question. I'm not attacking him, I'm just asking, and also giving my opinion on the type of person that could be a mod. I know I couldn't be one because I don't have the time, and can't stick to just one place, plus I lack the interest anyway.

More importantly, what kind of a poll has two YES's as an option?!

What do you know about Nagoyankee? He has done much more for JF than you ever will.

If you leave, it won't hurt any part of JF, but the language section won't even be the same without Nago.

You won't get none of this, though, as you aren't even interested in Japanese, the most important part of Japanese culture.

You think the language is the most important part of their culture?
