I have been a member and global moderator of a site for nearly two years. It is a site with a chatroom, forum, etc. At the beginning, I got along with nearly everyone there. As time went on, however, things began to turn bad: I fought with some of the other mods and members, and some of my old friends turned into my enemies. This went on especially with one of the other Gmods, who likes to act like they are perfect and put people down indirectly, including me. I got very angry at this person and began to feel like others at the site did not like me anymore. Like I said, I used to be very popular there and then all of a sudden, things turned around and I didn't like many people there, and they didn't like me. I began to feel like no one there liked me and considered leaving the site. Later, I decided not to leave because of someone I disliked or had arguments with.
Recently, something happened and I got into an argument with one of the higher staff at the site. She treated me horribly and I was, and am, furious at her for what she said, including calling me out in front of other members.
I really like some of the members at the site, but some of them I really cannot stand. Some of them are going out of their way to point out my bad points and what I do wrong (including the higher staff member) and suggest that I'm a lazy staff member who is loosing interest. I don't know what to do...I do not want to stay and be hated, disrespected, and treated poorly, but I do not want to leave some of my friends behind. The administrator of the site cannot do anything as this higher staff member is a lot more powerful than he is (although it shouldn't be.) I do not know what to do: quit and leave them to run the site by themselves, or stay and endure the poor treatment?
Please, give some suggestions or ideas. I'm at my wit's end. Thank you.
