Leigh appreciation thread

Leigh was always so sweet anytime i said hello to her in general over the last few months, she seems lovely and funny. Shame you’re gone there, maybe you’ll mod elsewhere ❤️
 
Despite our rocky past, Leigh has quickly become one of the best humans I have come into contact with.
She is truly a woman’s woman and will fight tooth and nail for you.
WE LOVE YOU 💓💓
🥲♥️ Love YOU! So thankful we were able to move past everything. You’re a beautiful human!
 
She gives everyone a chance despite the fact this site is notorious for having people who try to influence others on who they should and shouldn't talk to. Leigh would ignore all of that and take people at face value.

Gen chat lost a really good mod, that's for sure. Never has she abused her power or been biased. She wanted to make the room as smooth and safe as possible even when her hands were tied.

We need more people like her I'm charge, but sadly, I've seen too many people on this site with big hearts, great intentions be removed from moderating or even being admin and it seems to often all be based around one issue that leads to the same problem.

@TheLeigh,

time after time u has spent muting & kicking me, & everytime i would argue that i shouldn’t has been, that i dont break any of the rules…

but u know wat babe, i didnt mean any of it, u were totally justified to kick & mute me every single time unlike @Mr. Jose who just does it to bully me; u also unlike every other mod never stepped up to cover for him

i’ll miss u babe 🤧

Oh, babyangel.. 🥲

You’re like a lit M80 in the middle of a Fireworks store. 😂

Never change, please. ♥️
 
What a sad day for forums and an even sadder one for general chat, definitely lost two of the best mods @TheLeigh and @rapinoes smirking revenge

So proud of you both for standing your ground 🫶
🥲♥️ my sweet Anonymooose!

We’ll always encourage for the right things to be done for the safety and experience of the ********.

The outpouring of love and support we received from a lot of you is immeasurable and beyond appreciated.

Thank you for being a great Mod and human.
 
I can't speak for @TheLeigh's performance as a mod outside of recent events, but my interactions with her through forums speak volumes as to her character. She has been nothing shy of kind, compassionate, genuine, appreciative, humble, dedicated, and about 50 more adjectives I don't have time to list. I am incredibly disappointed with the way things unfolded, but you deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, so there's a small silver lining in there somewhere. I've said it privately but I'll say it here too, any room you'd be interested in modding would be lucky to have you. It can be seen by the overwhelming response you've received what an incredible asset you were to General Chat, and I don't envy them picking up the pieces with your and @rapinoes smirking revenge's departure.

@TheLeigh thank you for all your patience, empathy, diligence and dedication as a moderator and mentor. You’re more than just a colleague, you’re a friend. You were full of energy and enthusiasm for your role, and made me want to be a better version of myself.

I wish I had more time to learn from you and nibble your grey matter for your knowledge.

Ok, now I’m sounding like a zombie.

@TheLeigh and @rapinoes smirking revenge ( I had no clue rapinoe was involved till I saw Anonymoose comment )

If you two did not know, the other moderators are taking a very big code of silence on the topic they will not tell anyone who asks why Leigh decided to stop modding... and I guess Rapinoe is intertwined somehow.

I am an investigative journalist of prestige for truth, as we all know, BUT, I completely missed out on everything.

Would either of you mind so terribly as to give me; and others who were not around when this mystery event occurred; context as to what happened.?

It would be nice to have both of your sides of the story, than going into the peanut gallery and getting either lies or distorted interpretations.

If neither of you wants to give any context to those of us who missed out, that is understandable. But be mindful, it becomes frustrating for those of us who want to know and now have to dive into the peanut gallery and sort the truth out.

Tip of the hat for both of you on your volunteering, to keep the chat at a minimum safe for children.

Also ( side note to the peanut gallery if they choose to blab before leigh and rapinoe get to comment ), if this somehow revolves around Samwise; or other moderators, keep in mind this is a public forum, there is no T.O.S about not being allowed to discuss the actions of any moderator. The thing is if one wants to be critical, to do so, without breaking the TOS, aka, use your brain and be mature and not resort to talking like a grade school child.

An now back to your regular schedule kudos to Leigh. Rapinoes already has her own thread, I made it for her, go find it if you want to kiss her ass, this is about Leigh damn it.

🥲♥️ Lost..

You’ve rendered me speechless, yet again. I am so humbled by you and appreciate your entire being more than I can express.

Thank you for being who you are.
It’s an honor to know you. 💛
 
@TheLeigh you were a wonderful moderator and person, your humor is like none other.

I hope you stay around on the fourms (here), or else you will be missed.
I’ll still be around, don’t you worry about that..
Someone’s gotta be able to put your in your place sometimes. 😂

Thank you for your sweet words. 💛

😂🥲💛 my Matilda,

I’m glad I’ve had the opportunity to meet someone like you! You’re wise beyond your years and this site is lucky to have you!

I know you’re going to great things in that room and I’m so very glad we had to chance to Mod together!

Zombie Out! 🧟‍♀️

Hey, OSN - you know, I think I may actually end up missing your shenanigans most!

Here’s what I’ll say about everything:
I think regardless of what occurred for this to be the outcome, it’s best to focus on the good that still exists on the site and in the room, and to remain respectful of Gen Chat’s Admin and other staff members by letting this one go. 💛

I appreciate you taking your time to post on this. Thank you for being so thoughtful.

Also, @rapinoes smirking revenge’s ass is allowed to be kissed, no matter the thread.
It’s in the fine print somewhere. 😉

Noted and you absolutely are entitled to take the high road with internet drama with wanting to let it go, because that is all it really is in the end.

Me on the other hand, I am just pissed I missed out on the drama, so, sadly, I must now dive into the peanut gallery and see what I can find out.

, and I do love shenanigans!


Glad to see that whatever the drama was, you are not letting it get you down and that you are over it. ( you know you are over it when ya dont feel like talking about it anymore so that is a good thing. )
 
You'll be missed Leigh.
🥲♥️ Thanks, Venom!

I know we never really spoke much, other than a hello and me “baiting” you for a picture drop in that “hottest guy” thread (😂), but I appreciate you always being so kind to me.

I’m sure I’ll be back to visit one day, and I hope I’ll get to see you there when I do!
 
Leigh from the day i got chatting to you (you know what i mean) ive always thought of you as the sweetest person and then when you became a mod i knew you were going to be a great asset to the team i for one will always be greatful for you becoming one ❤️ you were a respected member of the Gen chat mods and will be Sadly missed! Rapi will miss ya too much love to you both ❤️
 
I actually watched the movie because of the book. Even though I mistook Edward Norton for John Cusack at first 💀

Still, I though ‘Choke‘ was a better novel.
Invisible Monsters is my favorite, but I love them all, really. Well, maybe minus Pygmy. I don’t recall being a big fan of that one.

Yeah, wasn’t a great book, but I’d kinda love to introduce him to a certain ‘professional’ on here. Ohhh, the irony!

Thank you for always being so wonderful to me. You were basically my first friend here, and while we didn’t get to mod together for as long as I’d of liked, I’m so thankful to have had the chance to get to mod with you! You picked me up on bad days and never hesitated to help however you could. You’re a gem of a human and a great friend. Love you! ♥️
 
@TheLeigh
Soo.. I'm a regular.. with a lurker forums account.. I never comment.. but when I saw this.. well yeah.. duh.. I had to comment.

You are one of my favorite humans. You supported me during one of the most difficult decisions I've ever made.. and did so without any judgement. I won't forget that. Thank you for volunteering your time to keep our room safe. Anddd... thank you for all the times you wrote in the mod log that I was a good girl🤭.
I'm going to miss you so much!! Please come back and visit. Love you to the moon!!!❤️❤️❤️
 
Not having chatted much lately, I knew Rapi a bit more than The Leigh.
This is exactly what is wrong with general chat. I do not pretend to know exactly what happened but it played out in open forums. I saw Sam Wise dress down Rapi for what he said was doing mod business in open forums. I know he addressed another mod, I thought it was Chelle but I am guessing it was Leigh. I looked at the offending post and it did not look in the least that Rapi was discussing super secret mod things. Sam Wise ratted both of them out to the chatmaster.

Oh and in that thread Sam Wise openly discussed sensitive mod business. If Leigh and Rapi were removed, Sam Wise should of gotten removed also. Sam Wise is responsible for the negativity in that room. The way he treats his mods. The way he allows and does nothing against pedos and racists.

@Chatmaster I don't know you, I don't care to. You need to get rid of Sam Wise.
General chat needs a fresh start #Rapisvagforadmin.
 
@TheLeigh

I would like to say that it has been a pleasure to mod alongside you in General Chat, to get you in the habits of dealing with spammers, handling of drama, and the ins and out of modding. You were quite a keen listener and you did mod very well in that room, giving it 100 percent all of the time. You will be missed, I do hope you have passed on your modding skills to the newer mods in the room.

The "other mod", I have already posted to you in your forum page. Damn, that means I cannot stir you anymore...
 
The way he allows and does nothing against pedos
Hey, I can absolutely confirm this isn’t true. It’s the lack of solid evidence that usually gets the slimy ones off. Because you know they’d be the sort that would try to sue for defamation. They’re slimy slugs, and their slime trail dries too quickly.

Loki is a predator, however most interesting is that you said nothing about the rest of my post. I do understand Sam does not like his britches aired out in open forums.

I truly had no idea the impact I made for you until reading this, and I’d change nothing about it. Sometimes we just need a little sounding board and I’m happy/honored to have been that for you.

I’m so, so very proud of you and everything you’re set to accomplish. I can’t wait to help celebrate them and you! Love you infinitely! ♥️

💛 Thank you, Dindu! I’m glad we had the chance to mod together! It was fun when the times would line up. As far as the “passing of skills” go, I’ve been training newbies since the day I was shielded, so I can only hope they’ve retained a thing or two. ☺️

I hope you’re doing well!
 
@TheLeigh Sorry you threw in the towel , You are one of the best mods I have seen since I came to chat in 2014, And Thank You for all your advice dealing with trolls and miscreants. You are deff a loss to the modding team and you will be missed !.
Thank you, Badge! 🥲💛 and thank you for trusting me with the advice I gave.

It’s always so humbling when long time members have such incredible things to say about me. I’ve only been around for a couple of years, but every post in this thread, as well as another in Mod Forums, made me realize that being myself makes a big difference to a lot of people. Also, no towels were thrown.

Congrats on being reshielded.
I wish you the very best of luck. 💛
 
Dear @TheLeigh and @rapinoes smirking revenge I want to thank you for both for all your time and many years here on chat ave volunteering. I miss you both already. I never thought both of you would really step down from modding. You both did a fantastic job here. I really wish you nothing but the best on here and in real life. It was nice knowing you. I want to say I appreciate you very much and I appreciate @rapinoes smirking revenge. Thank you gorgeous ladies. @rapinoes smirking revenge you were a great fair admin back in your days of admin in general chat room. If you both leave here for good you both will greatly be missed. I hope you can mod or admin another room on this site if you decide to stay. I don't believe I ever had a problem with you both. Take very good care. Be safe and well always. God bless you and your family. God bless your friends. God loves you both. I'm sad your not modding anymore for right now. Love you both. Have a blessed rest of the year in 2023. All the best. All that and a bag of chips.

Wow .. this is really hard for me to tell you goodbye so I'm not going to. I'm just going to say that it's a chance for a new beginning for you. I love you to death. You've been one of my closest friends here since I've been here. You're the best mod I've ever seen.
@Amaisey come get her before one of the other admins do.
🥲💛 Thank you, Jose.

It’s been a long, winding road, but I’m glad we had the chance to Mod together, and thank you immensely for your compliments. You helped me through some tough times in there, without hesitation, and I’ll always be grateful to you for it.

Remember, I’m only a forums message away.

Go make me proud. 😌

Thank you for your service @TheLeigh and the good vibes you brought to the room. Definitely the most wholesome moderator General chat has ever had. Always willing to lend a sympathetic ear and show an interest in others. If only the other moderators and administrators were as empathetic and sympathetic as you are, chatting would actually be a fun experience. Thanks for making a difference and for the better. You will be missed. 😔

Dutchy,

I know you catch a lot of heat on here sometimes, and it’s typically well earned if we’re being honest (😅😋) however, I will say this:

You’ve always had incredibly kind things to say to/about me as a Mod ever since the day we met and they’ve never once gone unnoticed or unappreciated.

Thank you very much for this post. 💛

Some of y'all have said it and I agree, it's why I made this thread. Chat ave could use more people like @TheLeigh. The ones who have actually gotten to know her know that she is irreplaceable, not just as a staff member but as a friend.
You are a diamond in a sea of glass, Sir.

I’m beyond lucky to know you, and whatever’s possibly greater than that, to have you as a friend.

Thank you for creating this thread. I can’t begin to explain how humbled I am by every single person that commented.

The internet is a strange place full of people wearing masks. Thank you for never wearing one.

Cheers to you, Fury, 🥂, and cheers to each and every one of you who took the time out of your day to make mine that much brighter. 🥂

All this niceness is making me sick. Hurry up and become a bitter ex mod so I can tag you in every post calling you a bitter ex mod. Thanks
 
Ilyyyy and I miss you already 🥺
ILYM and miss you just as much. 🥺😔

You were literally the best “new hire” anyone could’ve ever asked for. You communicate effectively, are always willing to help diffuse a situation and take guidance as it comes. You ask questions, which is something I’ve always admired about you, because you ask for the intent of your own understandings. You are a blessing to that room and to the staff within it, and I can only hope that your value/worth, to either, never dwindle over something as silly as a helpful suggestion.

You told me once: “My life is better with you in it”, but really, my life is better because of YOU, and I’m a very lucky girl to be able to call you my friend. 🥲♥️🥂

I'm not crying, you're crying! Seriously though, there's no crying in the Forums, unless it's over a kick or a mute, otherwise known as a "ban" to some. 😁

Pretty sure this isn't a goodbye, but more of a "see ya later"! 🩵🩵🩵🩵

@TheLeigh I never seen you much different times and work/life gets in the way of chat, but you have always been polite, funny, fair and non biased - good luck Stinkerbelle
Oh my goodness! You were Stinkerbelle this entire time?! 🤣😅

You’re right - we didn’t get the chance to cross paths much, but when we did you were always kind.

“Fair” should always be the goal, so thank you for seeing me as that. The rest is just the sprinkles on top. 😋

Thank you for your post! 💛
 
Hi Leigh,

Gawd knows I rarely visit forums and choose to spend way too much time in Gen Chat instead, but I just wanted to take the time today to thank you for modding the room. Your time and effort didn't go unnoticed, and you've made positive changes to the rules (and room itself) over the years, so thank you! With that said, I've seen this happen time and time again with the previous Gen Chat teams as well, and I know it can sometimes be frustrating to be a moderator. I'm not here to take sides or point out who's right or wrong, that's certainly not my place. I only want to say that disagreements will and often happen, but respect for one another goes a long way from both parties. We must all strive to be more understanding and listen to each other instead of go into defensive mode, which leads people to say things they don't really mean and can't take back.

In any case, I'm not sure if you plan on continuing to use Gen Chat or not, but I don't really want to say goodbye either. The biggest thing I'll remember about you is how you care, even when you don't have to. I went through something tough in my life about a year ago, and you were one of the few people who took the time to reach out to me to see how I was doing. That's admirable to me and something certainly worth mentioning. Also, if you ever visit Gen Chat, we can talk about how much I suck at Call of Duty for old time's sake!

The biggest thing I'll remember about you is how you care, even when you don't have to. I went through something tough in my life about a year ago, and you were one of the few people who took the time to reach out to me to see how I was doing. That's admirable to me and something certainly worth mentioning. Also, if you ever visit Gen Chat, we can talk about how much I suck at Call of Duty for old time's sake!
I totally agree 💯 with you.
