cruciatacara Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Ok ... I thought winchester's post is funny. Really funny. Even propped it. The reason for asking what I did -- simple courtesy, that's all. The "edited by moderator" tag *is* a way of informing why something was edited by a moderator. And yes -- I *did* have to think twice while reading FuturePriest's post ... why? Because of the nature of the topic. However, I did not appreciate the post that was made in the Phatmass Facebook group. I felt it almost at a gossip level -- it should have been posted here. It's (insert your choice of not-so-nice-words here). So ... I am no longer part of that group. I've dealt 100% with all of the crappy gossip at my former parish. I'm not going to deal with it via facebook at all. Personally I don't belong to FB and have no idea what you are talking about. I do think though that if being a mod is getting to be too much for you, then maybe you need a break, not only from FB but from being a mod. I have been mod on several different forums (not here) and it doesn't have to be an oppressive job if it done with a light touch. But not everyone is suited to it because it takes a sense of humour as well as a sense of what's appropriate and what's not. And letting one's past hurts influence the call can cause a lot of problems. Just saying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloysius Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 yeah when it was said in the facebook group i had absolutely no idea what was going on, no record of anyone saying it was "against the rules"... but when i saw cma's actual post, it really was just a request based on you having actually tricked her with the mod tags into investigating what had happened... so it wasn't nearly as big a deal as it was made out to be on the facebook post... nothing about it being 'against the rules'. now if the moderating team of phatmass could just get back to our real mission of secretly using all of your computing power to mine bitcoin in an attempt to take over the world, that'd be great.

Now THAT'S what I mean! :lol4: There isn't much that a little humour won't help fix.BTW didn't bitcoin have some problem recently. I don't have any but I read something about it falling. Do a lot of people here have bitcoin?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloysius Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 i don't think they do lol. yeah bitcoin crashed a lot, and then one of the major exchanges crashed down hard because people don't trust it anymore... so on Mt Gox bitcoin's selling for $130 since no one is really confident they can take their bitcoin out of there, everywhere else it's relatively stable around $650. but the way of the future is dogecoin! [attachment=3258:dogecoin.jpg] send me dogecoin. much happy. very money. wow. my address: D6H95mbUidWfgEgTqNLzhuY1mu2ykLR7gH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrossCuT Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I really dont get it all the hullabaloo. I thought her request was pretty logical. "Hey, please dont use red stuff cause its confusing for people and other mods" I agree. I thought a mod was on a rampage in that thread...Dont know why the request was worth all this. Seems like the problem is rooted in something personal and not actually about the red tag stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 if a phatmasser isn't bitching about the mod team, is it really phatmass? also, I think I am actually out of thyme leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossCuT Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 if a phatmasser isn't speaking with an unpleasant disposition about the mod team, is it really phatmass? also, I think I am actually out of thyme leaves. Lol unfortunately angry members with mods tend to happen a lot on here, but I dunno...the way I took it was just a kind request to not confuse people with the red text. Made sense to me and I didnt feel it was some weird scheme or abuse of power. :idontknow: I noticed it in that thread but brushed past it after she had made her comment and didnt even think twice. So I find all this drama to be kinda cray. BUt thats just me, I havent been on here as much as others so I am not privy to all the madness that ensues. I had taken like a 4 year hiatus.

IcePrincessKRS Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Lol unfortunately angry members with mods tend to happen a lot on here, but I dunno...the way I took it was just a kind request to not confuse people with the red text. I don't think anyone was angry. Well, until today. lol it was more "That's silly. hahahaha" Maybe Red's and my perspecitve is different because we both were mods here for nearly ten years before we resigned.

The modding has definitely been more hands on around here than it was in the past. That's annoying, if you're not used to it. I think this reaction to the red tagging request was probably a "last straw" kind of thing. Although I personally found it confusing myself.

I probably havent been around enough to have the same perspective I guess. Either way Im not bothered by it but I dont like i when everyone gets upset. :( I know can be a huge poo too but I do my best not to be so I hope all this gets resolved and everyone is happy again!
