Ask mods a question. - A genuine thread

[0 0]

I feel Talk To Staff is a bit too stuffy for some people feeling comfortable asking small or simple questions to moderators, and I also believe there could be some more levity between staff and users.

Try to avoid using this to interrogate about moderation decisions, like "Why was I banned?" since that's something that genuinely should be handled in Talk To Staff. Threads posted there will be treated with more urgency and seriousness. Generally.

Use this thread to ask us questions, serious or not, and we'll answer them accordingly to whimsy.

What are your thoughts on the Internet & Technology board?

Oh, sorry, you were asking the mods.

It's okay.

An omelette is nicer.

where did rating sexual/fetish posts as islamic come from

Deagle Nation. Jace Conners would refer to anything disgusting or homosexual as "Islamic content."

I may be misremembering or wrong but I very vaguely remember a thread tag system but very few threads actually have them. Was this a scrapped site feature that remained on some threads?
And is there any guide or list to the trophies/points system?

There's a trophy section, although for some reason I can't find the link to the sticker guide anymore.

I believe I can give the answer that Null would if you asked him: use the site.

Of course.

 

[Hellwalker]

How many warning points do I have and what were they for?

 

[Lip Glossary]

Here's a question since I only frequent a couple of topics: Including null, how many staff members are there?

List of staff members

 

[DeeNaMeeTay]

What initiation rituals has null put you through to get this job?

 

[obsdj]

List of staff members

That list is incomplete, or at least it should be paginated. U_M and Trombonista are not shown there. (Nor Null, though I guess maybe he doesn't count.)

 

[Useful_Mistake]

Reading. As a then-A&N regular, I barely survived.

Do mods actually respond to threads in Talk To Staff?

If its worthwhile to respond.

Images are now thumbnailing themselves. This seems to have started occurring as I was typing this post

I didn't even realize this thread existed but I'm happy to join in!

If you had to bring one person with the former staff tag back into the roster, who would it be?

Cat Party!

Have you had a user report his own post?

I know with certainty that @Trombonista has had to respond to me reporting myself at least once.

What is an old user ban you'd like to see overturned?

Tentatively BBL, I genuinely enjoy his antics on Q&A

Speaking of vampires, they hate sunlight, do mods hate showers?

This would be me in real life:

How do you feel about pineapple on pizza?

It's my favorite topping, especially when it's fresh or cooked with the pizza.

Sometimes

Oops.

Do mods actually respond to threads in Talk To Staff?

Usually yes, there's some cases where it doesn't get seen because there's generally at least ten new TTS threads every day.

Spoiler: Other replies

I mean, not anymore. Lidl once tried to start shit because I told her to stop going into threads she didn't like just to get mad and report everyone, but she ragequit and doesn't post anymore after Josh said 1 (one) mean thing about women that he walked back.

Oh, and I guess one vatnik also tried mass reporting everything once because he was mad at me asking his friend to link stuff if he posts a screencap (long story having to due with articles that didn't really exist). I think we're more or less cool now.

Oh, and I think Sharty people hate me. I don't like them either.

Don't forget Slav Power!

Yes. There's no obligation to hide or share warning notes. Yours say you were banned from Beauty Parlor for having a foot fetish.

I don't even remember issuing the ban but I instantly suspected I was the one who did it

Serious question, why don't you guys ban people for shit like this? I think everywhere that's not a shitting board, users themselves will call people out of doubleposting or not thumbnailing, anyone who doesn't know better finds out quick enough. People get a fuck ton of leeway, seems to me.

At least one user has been banned for posting way too often and refusing to thumbnail despite multiple warnings, I think his username was "hues of mercury".

Was getting caught part of your plan?

No, I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling kids!

What are your thoughts on the Internet & Technology board?

I use it occasionally but I typically ask specific users I know have expertise in a topic when I need help with something.

What's the most annoying thing to sweep up as a Jannie?

 

[Waffle Iron]

In the trophies section I noticed this:

How is this verified? What went through Null's head when he thought it was a good idea to encourage kiwifarmers to congregate offline?
And then this:

I have so many questions. 1) WTF 2) Is this even legal, doesn't it count as domestic terrorism to encourage this? 3) What if the other half becomes active on the forums after the marriage? 4) Does she have to be a boyfriend-free girl? 5) What do if girlfriend/wife becomes radicalized by beauty parlor? (5.5) can I seek damages from kiwifarms? 6) Where is the kiwifarms dating app? 7) Does kiwifarms recognize gay marriage?
