James is male. And kindly learn punctuate, because you make all of absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Plus, James is right; Mona is useless.

Only when it's a friend though...she wasn't useless before.

Just saying. You guys were fine with her until now.

"fine with her until now"? Hardly; they're just voicing it because she's actually done something.

Just because I don't announce every minute detail doesn't mean I sit at my computer doing nothing.

And I would appreciate any criticism, but please direct them to Moderator Performance.

I'm sure you (general you) know the purpose of that thread.

NYAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

i just snorted water through my nose... really.

when i have i EVER expressed any respect fo rmona in the last year? i think she is an incompetent imbecile who is totally underserving of her position. and have done for a while.

*edit*

oh, for the record, i posted this before mona's last post was made, or more accurately while she was making it, so urhm, i wasnt blatently flouting that post. i probably would have, but just fyi, i didnt.

*Back to topic*
School sure fills up your schedule huh.

i'll miss everyone. i already miss backstage...

but like i told mona, i really don't have time to be a mod. maybe after the musical's over...

^ We miss you too Michelle!

Indeed, indeed! I've managed to get it sorted out. Thankfully!

It sure does.

Thank god for weekends. -_-

Not sure what exactly happened...
but I hope all those who stepped down can really do better in their real life duties and hopefully come more on cB during their free time!

^ ya, i agree.

Mona is NOT useless.

Hardly even noticable, but uhh.. moorepocket -> moorepocket*

< anal retentive.

Wait a second. This is probably considered off-topic, but why exactly is Kathleen not a mod anymore? I thought she was doing a great job.

^ Indeed she was but she broke a rule that caused her to be demoted. She is missed on the staff though. I know I miss her.

What about Ryan? [moorepocket]

Hes goes to blogger and since blogger isn't all that active there isn't much he can do, He does sign on everyday. So its not like hes inactive.

Right, so I stand by my previous comment about Mona's uselessness.

^Did you fail to read what Breden said?

She broke a rule, which led her to be demoted. Mona didn't only decide to demod her, so don't just hold it against Mona, there are other admin/head staff.

Yes, but I chose not to care. And I honestly, if you (and Sammi, for that matter) think we're saying things about Mona based sheerly on this issue, you are completely off base.

And I'd like to think that there'd be more taking into consideration as to whether or not Kathleen could remain a mod than simply breaking a rule; there are plenty of people who do nothing blatantly wrong who are just shitty mods in general. Out of those two, who should remain? I'd say the one who actually mods well. And no, before you go there, I'm not merely saying this because I like Kathleen. She is genuinely a good moderator, hence that she used to be an admin. If a broken rule doesn't have any direct or major influence on anything, it should not be able to outbalance the positives.

^ You have no idea what the rule was. If you do, you would most definitely understand. We all miss her on staff (I Kathleen), but it had to be done.

Just please people.... put some trust in us once in a while.

*sigh* Actually, she's pretty well aware of the rule (she is a former staffer).

Also, many of the mods with activity issues have been either talked to or have stepped down.

As for "shitty mods", I think the opinion(s) are pretty subjective at this point.

Again, all we can do is our best: Try to be active, try to make good decisions and try to contribute what we can to cB.

Rachael, considering that the reason that NICKI is no longer on staff is for a very similar reason involving many of the same people, and also given that she is good friends with me, who knows EXACTLY the process which led to her being demoted, i wouldn't particularly question her knowledge of the subject.

and to answer holly's question, if there is no activity in blogger, there is no need for blogger staff, active or not (and look at hi sppd anyway). let the desing staff deal with it, and get rid of the staff you dont need

Yea but I don't think anyone on design staff knows a lot of about blogger staff? I may be wrong? I don't really know. I would know something about it but blogger doesn't work on my computer.

I think its fine to have ryan on staff, we have discussed about his ppd and stuff like that, but questions do go through blogger every now and again that need to be answered in which he does answer. And we do still recienve layouts for blogger.


Look guys, Kathleen not being on staff. I pretty positive she understood what she did and knew the consquences. I don't really know if that is true, but I don't think shes really being a sore loser for not being on staff anymore, atleast I haven't seen it. Yes, I know she may be a good mod, since she is a former admin and everything. Although people can change and with her formally being in those positions she would clearly know all the rules, so if she were to break one she knows whats going to happen if everyone finds out.

Saying that Mona is a bad mod because of people getting demoted isn't right at all either. Mona isn't the one that makes every little decision she has help from others at making the big decisions. I mean if Kathleen is upset about being demoted for what she did, then she needs to speak up.



Rachael - Just please people.... put some trust in us once in a while.

Honestly, at this rate. I don't think its going to happen. Things have happened in the past that have made people just turn their heads at us because they simply didn't agree. Look, its the internet. You don't know how people are reacting to things and everyones opinions are different, we can just consider everyones in to every decision it would be a waste of time and it would end up leading to some big argument. So trusting the mods decision to make the community better would be the best thing to do, but most people are controlling people and can't stand it.

*eyeroll*

for the last time. the mona complaints ARE NOT stemming from the kathleen thing. apparently, even though we have said it several times, no one has picked up on that.


well, it would be the best thing to do if we could garuntee 100% that they were doing it right. as we CANT do that, the BEST thing to do is to keep questioning them. that is glaringly obvious.

To add to that, I talked to Kathleen about it on the phone the night it happened and she knew what she was getting into and she seemed fine with being demoted. She admitted to doing it so others wouldn't get punished for her wrong doing. She knew that she would get demoted and even so she still admitted it, which is honorable to say the least. Kathleen has a good head on her shoulders and I believe she's at peace with the decision. I know if Kathleen was an admin, she would have to do the same thing to anyone else who broke the same rule. I remember when she and I discussed how everyone should be treated equally. With that being said, I think she knows it was the right decision.
