No more arguing while I'm out of town

Xanga is dying
While this is completely beside the point now, I consider that very sad. I HATE HATE HATE myspace. Xanga is 500x better. USAToday had an article about myspace's popularity dwindling (eh?) and listed xanga as one of the new sites rising to its popularity. I was inclined to be vaguely offended.

because people made topics. that's not the point though. threads popping up has nothing to do with the actions a mod takes. there's no rules stating clubs aren't allowed, they just died off when nicki closed them all and have since resurfaced. asking where they came from has nothing to do with a mod...the mods aren't the ones making them.
Actually I'm pretty sure they weren't allowed. And for the record, I was right.

HOW would i know how to moderate if i've never done it before? I'm learning. i'm trying hard to get it and learn the rules. i'm sorry if you think i'm a sucky moderator because of one mistake. I can't get everything right the first time. That's the whole thing about it. You
learn. Knowing that I made a mistake can help me do better in the future. I was just modded a few days ago. I can't get every thing right the first time.
For what it's worth, there are really nice people who just
can't mod. They try hard, and while I'd like to give them credit for this, modding is a remarkably instinctive thing. It typically seems that if one doesn't get it at first, they won't.
On that note, did we not learn from the modding of Dani #1 that hiring completely passive people for the sake of avoiding controversy will only make things worse in the long run?
I do think that hiring people with strong personalities is good right now. And people who have actually been around for a while. That might lead to some tension, but if things were to actually get done, that'd be an improvement.
Because I have been gone for the past two weeks (which as far as the internet is concerned seems like a very long time), I have less imput than I'd like. Thus, my only real concerned for the time being is that it makes very little sense to hire two mods out of nowhere and then hold a modding session. That doesn't seem entirely fair..mm? This isn't against the people in question so much as that it seems completely contradictory to the point that Mona (I think) was trying to make about the fairness and equality of the modding process.
that's awesome.
I'm trying to make an entry for Cb idol and I suck and this totally cheered me up. THankkkssss!
If it weren't for these mods, createblog would not be where it is today. In my opinion they are helping this site progress to its full potential. Unfortunatly though, there are some mods who are abusing their powers of mods. I will not say any names but there are a selected few whom all their activity is shutting down threads. I have nothing against closing threads but the only thing that really bothered me was when i saw an individual mod shut down a group in the lounge because it was in the wrong area, in the same day i saw a different mod post another group similiar to the other in the lounge. The previous mod who shut down the other group did not speak of this and acctually CONTRIBUTED to the group. Please understand i have NOTHING against these mods i think they are wonderful, but i just believe that there are a SMALL few who are not doing thier job very well.
