NUMBER THREE Do the mods have christmas parties or b'day parties in there forum? I know there have been many held here, in thunk threads and such. Hell, those guys in the lounge put on a play!!
EDIT: Wow, that writing is bigger than i thought it would be
not really. We wish each other happy birthday or the such, but we really don't have parties. We're spread across too many time zones to have more than 3 - 4 of us on at a single time anyway
So what happens if a mod seriously misbehaves, like insulting an entire fanbase, ship, etc..; do the mods have some sort of "Three strikes and you're out"-system?
the situation has not come up, and when/if it does, we'll deal with it then. We've had mods 'quit' or 'retire' but we've never fired a mod
Also when a post gets deleted it gets made invisible while it remains in the thread right? (It could also be transfered to a trash bin forum) But do you suppliment those posts with comments containing the reasoning as to why it has been deleted?
As for deleted threads, they go to a forum trash bin I assume? Do the mods supply comments with the reasons for their decision in those deleted threads?
we usually soft-delete. that way there's a record of what happened when. WE also have a trash bin area for stuff like spam threads and duplicate threads that can't be merged into others, irredeemable threads - ones that have descended into such a flame fest we don't even bother putting them back out.
Going to this place on dial-up, poor Kiwi, even with my connection it's hell at times to load. Also, will Kiwi provide the BBQ?
dude, i'm on dialup. my shortcut to getting the forum to load pretty quickly, turn off flash. no flash player active, the movies don't load and bog things down
PARTY AT KIWI'S PLACE! We can all stand around and laugh as she tries to navigage on dialup! She'll provide drinks, food, and lodging. All we have to do is get there...
heeeey!
As long as grass clippings is your idea of a good meal, and you consider the floor comfy....
Dial up isn't going so bad as I feared. GW actually loads pretty quick, as long as I don't go into the image laden threads. Still I won't be staying with dial up, I'm being an evil person and making the cable company go through with the installation (which is free to me but is going to cost them a fortune.... so far they have to replace a power pole half way up the drive, put the line underground and THEN run it into my house ). Of course they're being slower than molasses at doing it

I'll give that a try.

And your point would be??? we are having to discuss a topic and possibly debate an issue. OMG who would do that THAT on a Forum
It's an abomination teehee (that's right, i laugh at my own jokes!)
What is the story behind the fuzzy pink rat thing? (dish, dish, dish) i've heard snippits but nothing that makes much sence

Each has it's own unique binary code which is related to several characteristics. Size. Colour. Public speaking ability....

As for mods having a second account... it'd be enough to make ya paranoid, eh? There you are, having a nice rant at someone about what a horrible, domineering, scummy person Sky is and then you find out, IT IS SKY!! OMGBANNEDFORLIFE!! Heh. I think they probably don't, but if they did I doubt they'd admit it.
either way, you're still more likely to run into a friend of that horrible terrible mod that that'll PM them the conversation. ...you guys do have friends right?
