I 'farted' on Diana because she bumped the topic. So, I didn't deviate.

Although, I did close it at first.

Anyway, it doesn't matter. People are actually commenting about how old the topic is. I don't see any out of hand spam in there.

It doesn't pertain to the topic, does it? NOPE!

Here, let me have a chance at quoting some Community Guidelines:




mmhmm

You don't always have to be on topic. I'm talking about ugly spam. One word spam. NOTHING TO DO WITH spam.
Again, the problem was resolved so I don't see why it should remain open. BUT if Trish wants it open, fine. As long as it doesn't get out of hand.

Wouldn't this be the same as some Design Staff closing a topic after someone posts the answer, but the starter not coming by to say it can be closed?

Oh I get it. I bump a topic and it gets closed because I'm not a superior anymore. How long did it take you to come up with an excuse to close it?

If the answer was already provided, I don't see why we need the OP's approval.

Spencer, you still don't get it.

Ok, so let's try this again.

I closed it. You know why. -grabs a bottle of water-

Why? What rule did it break?

The 'problem' he had was yeaarrrs ago. And I'm sure Ju-sun already solved it.

I'd like to see the rule that states we can make up rules as we go.

It isn't a rule. It's logic.

It's also logic to allow me to post in whatever topic I want, regardless of what my member title says.

True.

But as long as you don't spam and follow the rules, you're good to go.

Ok, then what the fuck was wrong with me posting about a time I was locked out?

EXACTLY!

Because the topic was in the morgue and it was already answered.

Spencer just shut the fuck up already idiot. Stop acting like a fucking douche. Go get laid, and quit bitching.

I'll remember that, Tongue.

Spencer, could you please stop bumping old topics? I understand what you mean but I don't agree with it. Not in this case.

If Trish wants the topic re-opened, she'll f**king get it as long as it doesn't resort into unnecessary spam.

Doesn't that do it for you?

My goodness. LOL

The old topic that Diana bumped *was* closed. I mentioned in this topic that it really didn't need to be. I had said that because it seemed like people were reminiscing and didn't see why it needed to be closed.

This whole bumped topic thing isn't a big deal. If someone has something relevant or fun to chat about and bumps a topic, it's not the end of the world, especially if people are participating and what not.

I would have left the locked out one open but might have been inclined to close the xanga one, simply because it was a xanga related question that had obviously been answered, as opposed to the other two which were pretty open ended.

I know it's not important, just giving my two cents.

I'll agree with Rebecca, I suppose it really isn't that big of a deal, but I know there is something somewhere about bumping topics, because when I first joined I swear the god I use to always have it shoved in my face about not bumping topics that are way old. But I honestly don't care, there is a thing about creating new topics though if it is a duplicate then its fine if its 6 months old.. *shrug



Oh also Spencer, just to let you know. The un-moved really old topics were probably in the appropriate place but when Ju-sun put the back up on here after Suzzette removed the forums a lot of things were put in the wrong places...and well were still moving them all.

tung, shut up.

i dont care. i was kind of irritated when it was closed but it's not like it matters anymore.

I will say this. If you are going to enforce the rules at that kind of level or extent, Sandra, please enforce it that way consistently. You posted in a thread from 2004 that someone bumped for no reason at all and didnt even think about closing it? With your logic, Tal_dara already went on his break, in fact he's been on a 2 year break, and so the "issue" was over with.

Please give us a reason as to why it was not closed right away.

You cared 5 minutes ago.

Look, I'm trying to agree here with you as much as possible.

You can have your way with whatever it is you want o_O I'm not really going to care that much about something so stupid. This is ridiculous that we have to argue over something so simple that can be fixed.

People were actually conversing in Trish' thread. Fail.


According to you Sandra, no one gets it. If we don't get it, care to explain it to us? That's like going to a class and the professor giving you the question and telling you to answer without telling them what to do. Fail.


Nah, Michelle's already called this one out. It's an unwritten rule. Fail.


Hypocrite. Fail.


Tung shut the fuck up. You really shouldn't try to jump into these argument, you always have such horrible retorts.


Let's not pull a Suzzette and try to use tact and agree with everything being said. Be yourself. If you think we should shut the fuck up, tell us. Don't hide things and agree for the sake of agreement.

as a general rule of thumb here, topics that have a point (i'm not saying mine did) shouldnt be closed just because people are spamming in it. you should tell them to quit spamming and leave the thread open.

i don't know why staff started to just close topics like these...

also, just because an issue is "resolved" in the lounge doesnt mean it has to be closed either. people are still allowed to make comments as long as they are relevant to the thread. the only topics that need to be closed when they are resolved are help threads.

arent these in the mod rules backstage? i could swear they were. because i was a mod too. i know these things because i was a mod. mod mod mod.

Alright Steven

Spencer shut the f**k up already. Your starting to show the Kryo against Suzzette frenzy >_>


Trish, I agree with you. We should post in topics to tell people to control the spamming before thinking of killing the thread.

Nah, Sandra's just dumb it seems. She can be alright sometimes, but Spencer definitely isn't following the Kryo vs Suzzette. Besides, Kryo was 100% correct in hindsight. Once we all found out the truth, no one disagreed.

Yes well I'm looking back on it when Kryo made no sense at all.

Maybe I'll figure it out when I do something bizarre and everyone will look back on this and say Spencer was always right.

HEY! I WAS A MOD TOO! PEOPLE SHOULD RESPECT US AMIRITE?

SPAMSTFU.

Excuse me for giving my thought on the subject, bitch. Just because you don't agree doesn't mean it's not valid.

"I get no respect!"

-Rodney Dangerfield

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Spencer's not personally going after you. You happened to enter the argument on an opposing side, and he clearly disagrees with you. Sandra's just plain clueless and should be demoted or step down at least.

Moderator guidelines:




Steven, oh I was starting to get the vibe he was getting anti-mod on me. I'll stay out of it next time.

Steven is correct. I'll quote what I said when y'all made hype about it in Anonymous Shoutouts.

Harmful

Holly it's not that you should stay out of it, rather don't take things as someone jumping on an anti mod bandwagon. Keep in mind, we did step down for a reason, and Suzzette wasn't the only black sheep (no pun intended, but lol).

ok lets try to focus here, i dont think anyone is blaming holly for anything so i dont see why we should resort to any name calling or making this personal.

i agree about sandra though. i gave her another chance to fix her inactivity, but i DID mention that even when she is active, her actions are somewhat... questionable as a mod. she doesnt seem to know what she's doing half the time.

Oh I only posted the mod guideline thing because Trish said aren't there mod rules, so I quoted that. It was actually funny reading because I never viewed spamming as harmful

Oh there is this that everyone loves

rofl@stevens sig.

Well I think a lot of rules are outdated and could use revision. Also just because it says it in the rules, doesn't mean they have to be followed to the dot. Aren't the "guidelines" which would imply that it's something to guide your actions, not decide them?

Look. I'm neutral in this. I've already agreed last week when I called out Sandra for being a bad mod, and that opinion still stays, until she improves. As for Spencer, he is blowing a small problem into a big one unnecessarily.

BBL

No he isn't. This isn't just because of that one thread telling you to shut up. This is about a lot of mod behavior in general.

No, not blowing it up. Fact is, the only way to convey a point to the staff is to argue opposite of what they think.

Like who's may I ask?

Well, the numbers used to be larger. I used to really dislike Dee, but at least she owns up and responds in a semi constructive way. I stand corrected, it's not a lot, because there aren't a lot of mods. Sandra, Mike, Rachael in particular stick out like a sore thumb. Though I guess 3 is a lot of mods now.

tung, shut up!

I don't think Rachael is doing a bad job. She's been pretty active in the queue... she approved a bunch of my things.

Mike, I'm not so sure about. I wonder if modding is too much of a distraction from his modeling career.

LOL, I just saw that.
LOW BLOW! Agreed, nonetheless.

Don't take it so literally. The Lounge shouldn't be filled with topics that are COMPLETE spam. Topics don't necessarily have to ask a question or need to have a point but as long as there's something to talk about. I think you're just nit picking.

Oh, someone pointed out that the rules (or moderation?) should be consistent or something. You guys (Steven and Spencer) know that we're working on revising the rules.
