"Tung shut up" was closed. Was it hurting anyone? Did it offend Tung? Did you see him bitching and moaning about it? Maybe he reported it and if he did, what a pussy (but I presume he did not). Anyways, so what if it was pseudo spammy. So what if others thought it was stupid? People were participating, actually sticking to the topic (OMFGZOMGLOLZINORITE?) and people were having fun. Why was it closed? Spam. Who the f**k cares? Who was it hurting? Why not just leave it open?

I know this was discussed backstage and I know people were told to be more lenient. If there's not much work to do as people staff, you don't have to go looking for it. If things are running smoothly, just be a normal person. Don't moderate shit because it can be.

they're just talking about themselves! Why isn't that closed?

Do you have to add in a question so that it's not considered spam? Does it have to appeal to the masses and be something everyone can participate in?

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.
