After having a discussion with Fluffy, I have a few messages for everyone.

If you're going to be a moderator (this does apply to everyone, but it's especially important to moderators), STOP ******** SPAMMING EVERY ******** THREAD. I don't like deleting posts, but it's really starting to piss me off. If I see pointless s**t in threads that weren't created to be spammed in, I will delete them (the posts, not the thread). Threads that are actually created for spamming I consider fine, but you'd have to take that up with Fluffy.

Moderators: If you don't stop being such petty assholes (i.e. deleting each others posts), you WILL be removed from the Crew. You will also be removed if you use your powers for your own benefit; editing someone else's post when it isn't necessary is an example.

Now, to what you were all waiting for me to go on about, thread deletion. You CANNOT delete a thread just because YOU don't like a subject matter. If that was the case, I would delete most of the threads in this guild, simply because I don't like them. (Please note that many of my threads are intended to be humourous. The "dog ********" conversation was posted because I thought it may have given someone a laugh; hell, I know that myself and Teika got a fair few laughs out of it.) Also:

because no one should have the right to delete it but admin >=(

It would probably be best to take any queries to Fluffy (should there be a thread that may warrant a deletion). I haven't discussed this with Fluffy, but it's up to him.


I don't like enforcing rules too much, but it's beginning to get out of hand. I'd like the rules here to be fairly lax, but the spam and s**t is making me want to not visit this place anymore. I'm just going to ******** off back to the Chatterbox if things don't start to change (spam reduced, pettiness reduced, and more intelligence is shown from the moderators). Some of your have to sort your s**t out.

I'm going to make this thread a temporary announcement, so that it isn't buried under all the spam.

If you have any questions or anything you want clarified, just ask. I consider myself to be reasonably fair in these kind of situations, and as long as you have a decent point to bring forward, I'll be happy to answer your questions/discuss anything about this post.

They can. That's why announcements are usually locked.

Oh, i thought they're automatically locked.

Anyway, firstly, I apologised for those dumb stuff I did in that little topic I made.

Secondly, different people have different opinions on fun. For example, Booty hates spam and I dont like humans having sex with dogs. If you dont understand what I mean, please check the various topics. I would like to take this chance to state that the post deletion thingy between me and Sahoko was purely for fun. I had nothing against her, and didnt know that by deleting each other's posts, it would affect the rest of you.

Thirdly, I believe everybody should stop their little petty fights with everyone and just say POLITELY if they have any comments. If you have anything rude to say, do it on MSN, dont fight it out here.

Also, about spam. I believe that has stopped, so it's not a problem anymore.

Lastly, I do hope that nobody posts twisted and disgusting stuff here. It might be fun to some, but to others, its just......... tasteless humour.

These are just some suggestions.

I would also like to state that I do not hate anybody here and I treat everybody as friends. Any insults that I've made previously were purely coincidental. 3nodding So if anyone doesnt like what I'm doing, do tell me.

Should we change this thread into a sticky?

Eh, change it to a sticky if you want. I don't really care about this guild anymore.

Teika
He never said he was leaving the guild did he? neutral

My opinion on the subject matter: I think the amount of moderators you had before adding the new ones, whoever they may be, was sufficient enough. When you take into consideration the inactivity of the majority of the members in this guild, and the lack of intellectual converse occurring in here, I really don't see why you needed to add the extra moderators. The majority of the people that are active, are moderators, and that just seems pointless, especially if they don't even have anyone to moderate but themselves.


Teika smart. heart

I only made two people moderators. gonk
The rest I dont know how they came to be.
Im thinking about letting you guys chose who you want to be your moderators. Although Captain Booty will stay a moderator because hes probably the one who does the job best.
You guys tell me what you think about this idea and if I get enough positive responses I'll open up a poll for the candidates.

Jill messaged me on MSN and asked if I'd take her place as mod. I didn't ask like piguren did.. =/ also.. I saw how CB referenced to me 3 times in the first post... stare

First off... Piguren and I only deleted each other's posts. I did not change anyone elses, and it was, as piguren stated above, out of fun between the two of us. I altered less than 5 of his posts for the same reason.

Second.. I locked CB's thread about the "Dog ********" because not only I was offended, but others too.. I even mused on deleting it. It's good for a laugh between CB and Tieka, but it doesn't need to bee seen by my eyes. Take it to a PM or something.

And CB, feel FREE to leave whenever you'd like. If you hate it so much that you're concidering leaving back to Chatterbox.. I bet you a lot of n00bs are missing you there.

As soon as someone wants me to leave, I've got a reason to stay. lol
