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.

Does Null allow for fraternisation between the mods team and various users?

 

[Newton Pud]

Do you do it… for free?

so funnee, I certainly couldn’t hit back and see that joke on every single page of this thread

Here’s a good question: are there any banned-for-good-reason, never-coming-back retards who you still miss regardless?

I was somewhat fond of @IKOL. Unfortunately turns out he has sexted minors in the past or something like that

@0 0 how do you feel about the death of Animal Control and the current state of the Top Secret Inner Circle?

Yes. I can't imagine why not, especially to the degree of micromanaging that would require to enforce.

@0 0 how do you feel about the death of Animal Control and the current state of the Top Secret Inner Circle?

Simple indifference. For Animal Control, there wasn't a sense of community or even much overlap between threads, so nothing has really changed at all. For the inner circle, I don't use it enough to really keep up with whatever is happening.

 

[Waffle Iron]

I can't imagine why not,

The power gap between a regular user and a mod is too big to make consent possible. If a mod tells me to pull down my pants and cyber with him, what can I do to resist?

If I ever get arrested, I'll let you know the answer to that.

Should I report very slight stuff such as posting a spam thread in the general discussion or don't you give enough fuck for nitpicking
is it bad to double post instead of using edit option

Sure, report spam

is it bad to double post instead of using edit option

Yes. But we can merge that if you report it. Accidents happen, but please do not spam out double posts.

another question is for you
ARE YOU A MAN OR ARE YOU A WOMAN
second question: why did you initially agree to being an A&H janny (aka what's wrong with you) and how did you ascend to a global janny

It was the only one of a handful of places I wanted that Null approved me for I believe I wanted Weeb Wars (don't remember why) and community happenings, maybe? There was a lot of spam there at the time, so I volunteered for it. Obviously, Autistic Thunderdome was also in that list. The former was full, the community happenings didn't need additonal moderation, and I was given the Autistic Thunderdome that I had requested.

Unironically, just consistency in handling reports and hard work, I think. Though, it did go in stages. My first "promotion" was to Community Watch per my request. Later I got control over Lolcow LLP (don't remember if Null offered it or if I asked. Probably the latter). And then eventually Null offered me the Global Mod position.

If I tag one of you in a thread, not for any moderation matter but just so you can come and laugh at someone, would you do it?

Just as long as you understand, it'll be you they're laughing at.
