I do hope this works out. I want to stress that this is not the place for personal attacks. If you really have to, keep it in the PM system between you and the mod. This thread is here to help mods work better with members.

I had closed the old thread and made this new one while Thomas was posting. :x

(so here's the last post of that thread)

Superstitious has been doing a helluva job! :P

//

But seriously, I've seen mannythedino....... I totally don't even know if that's her name anymore, but She's been very acting on the forums and I've noticed :D She's answered my questions a few times. She's quite helpful.

//

Hopefully that was helpful o.O

I haven't noticed any mods doing a bad job.... Yeah.. I'm pretty sure I would notice if a mod was doing something that I didn't like, so great job everyone! :D

Posted by: Beenly Mar 8 2009, 01:42 PM

When I meant line, I meant if you started to apply, usually there will be a plethora "x" amount of applicants.
Every staff as of now is doing a good job!

Posted by: interpretation Mar 8 2009, 01:44 PM

That would be Natalia, and yes, she's doing fine as a Head Staff member. :)

Posted by: Mikeplyts Mar 8 2009, 02:24 PM

Yeah, Natalia is certainly doing great and so is TJ as a new Design Staff member! Everyone else is doing pretty good too.

Posted by: emberfly Mar 8 2009, 02:40 PM

TJ is design staff? O_O wow

There wasn't a clear winner in last month's SMotM thread: one vote each for Carrie and Diana, and one (or two? I couldn't tell if the "go jc" in http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=216728&view=findpost&p=3139824 was a vote or not) vote for JC who isn't even a staff member, technically, but deserves the title anyway.

Posted by: manny-the-dino Mar 8 2009, 03:44 PM

Lol yes it' s still my username. And like Cristy said, my name is Natalia. ;)

But thank you guys!


Haha yes. Since a week ago, I believe.


I think TJ's doing a great job. He's really jumped into this whole Design Staff thing & is getting used to it more & more everyday. Keep up the good work!

Staff seems to be doing good, in general. We're at a good place right now, guys.

Posted by: karmakiller Mar 8 2009, 04:04 PM

Thanks for making the SMOTM thread, Cristy. I meant to make it when I made the MotM thread, but there was only a few votes. I think everyone is doing a fine job.

Posted by: DoubleJ Mar 15 2009, 07:22 PM

honestly thomas you need to just let it go already. I am not going to defend my ability to be a serviceable staff member, because obviously I must still be around for a reason. Your constant and never changing pretentious attitude is the reason why people really don't want you on staff tbh. Maybe if you just humbled yourself for once instead of acting like you are entitled to a position on staff, people would actually get along with and respect you better.

Posted by: superstitious Mar 15 2009, 07:24 PM

You know, I wish you two would go to the sandbox, whip it out and measure already.

Posted by: DoubleJ Mar 15 2009, 07:25 PM

I don't know what that means, but I have no problem with the guy. I just find it amusing that he clearly is not taking it well that he has not been let back onto staff. My whole thing is that you are a teen in college....shouldn't you be out partying, getting drunk, and f*cking random tail?

I have called you pretentious on more than one occasion front and backstage, so if anything that is - 10 for you lol.

Posted by: superstitious Mar 15 2009, 07:27 PM

It means I wish this petty little thing between you guys would end (yes, I know that you (Javonn) aren't bringing things up right now) ;)

Thomas is having a bad day and needs to go outside and breath some air, smell some flowers, catch some fish. Kick back and cookout.

Posted by: interpretation Mar 15 2009, 07:44 PM

Yeah, really. I know I've skipped around a bunch of times, but I really did stop after you called me out on it Backstage.

does anyone really care what jusun says about inactivity lol

Posted by: Tomates Apr 15 2009, 08:07 PM

Jusun is hardly ever on though

Posted by: brooklyneast05 Apr 15 2009, 08:08 PM

who cares. no one gives a shit what jusun says about signing in everyday when he can't even sign in once a month to his own site hardly. what's he going to do about it?

i don't even believe jusun would actually have that big of a problem anyway. only you would, for him.

Posted by: manny-the-dino Apr 15 2009, 08:14 PM

Actually, Amanda posts Backstage more than she does outside of Backstage and I usually see her post once or twice everyday. She said she was having computer issues. I remember Kristina saying something about school or something hectic which is why she's not online that much. JaVonn's last post was on the 8th and it was in the Boardroom saying that he has some personal stuff he has to deal with. As for James, his last post was Backstage too but that was in January. "/

Posted by: brooklyneast05 Apr 15 2009, 08:14 PM

oh ok. well i have no clue whatsoever why jusun would care or even know who is here and who isn't. he doesn't even know who the staff is and hasn't interacted with most of them really.

no worries, because you aren't on staff anymore so you don't have to worry about such things.

Posted by: brooklyneast05 Apr 15 2009, 08:28 PM

how am i being a douchebag by saying you don't have to worry about him telling you do that anymore?

Posted by: karmakiller Apr 15 2009, 08:33 PM

I don't post everyday. There have been plenty of times when I'm not here as an Admin. In all honesty, I'd rather not have mods posting useless things in the community just so that it looks like they are here.

Kristina - She was having some computer problems, and she probably wasn't able to make an announcement to CB that she was going to be gone. But she did let staff know that she was having computer problems, so DS/HS was prepared to cover for her if she couldn't get online.

Amanda - She still posts. She hasn't been as active as she was before, but she's well aware of that.

Javonn - He's going through some personal stuff, and I'm not going to put him on blast. He did the right thing by letting staff know that he won't be here until he gets things resolved.

James - He was a Mentor, which technically isn't a mod. He isn't a Mentor or Mod, so chill.

Honestly, just because a mod doesn't make an announcement to all of cb that stuff is going on that they have to take care it doesn't mean that staff doesn't know. I wouldn't want anyone to put cb first... and I also wouldn't want to hold it against someone if they had to step away from the computer to deal with some personal stuff.

Posted by: hi-C Apr 15 2009, 08:35 PM

Well, if Jusun had any respect for his website, he wouldn't be as AWOL as he is. Isn't it just as disrespectful to neglect a community you've founded?

Posted by: brooklyneast05 Apr 15 2009, 08:36 PM

like you did thomas?

Posted by: hi-C Apr 15 2009, 08:37 PM

And shouldn't Jusun adhere to the his own guidelines? He literally goes MONTHS without posting. There's A LOT that doesn't get done around here because he doesn't care enough to log on every damn once in a while.

Posted by: brooklyneast05 Apr 15 2009, 08:41 PM

Posted by: hi-C Apr 15 2009, 08:42 PM

Posted by: karmakiller Apr 15 2009, 08:44 PM

He didn't bail. He let staff know that he was going to need some time to tend to things that are going on in his life. He didn't know how long he'd be gone, which is why (I'm presuming) he didn't mention it to the community. Had he said he was going to be gone for __ amount of days, you probably would have said something in feedback when he wasn't back after that, right?

As far as Kristina and Amanda are concerned, they haven't been gone since being on staff. I guess I don't see the big deal, because all three of them let staff know that they were not going to be here. Had they just up and left then I'd be concerned.

Posted by: brooklyneast05 Apr 15 2009, 08:49 PM

hey remember that one time that you got thrown off staff for being a douchebag and javonn took your head staff position?

Posted by: karmakiller Apr 15 2009, 08:50 PM

uhhhhhhh, wut?

I think cb got rid of that rule 5 1/2 years ago... so I'm not familiar with it.

Posted by: brooklyneast05 Apr 15 2009, 08:51 PM

Posted by: hi-res Apr 15 2009, 08:56 PM

I just wanted to say (not that have a place to say anything) that since I've been apart of this site Jusun has pretty much rarely been around. Nothing against him or anything (I'm not taking sides), but that's how it's always been for the most part and staff members (and community) just have to deal with that.

Also, why should mods be forced to post everyday? Seriously? I can see if you stop posting for a month or so, but every day? It's not that serious, I promise.

Posted by: heartquasm Apr 15 2009, 08:58 PM

my god, thomas. do you ever read what you post before posting? are you not aware that you come across as a complete dick who has no life other than to backseat mod cb?

take a vaca, srsly.

Posted by: Deetard Apr 15 2009, 08:59 PM

so, if we're to treat this like a normal job, most people only work 5 out of 7 days, therefore a day or two without posts is like a regular 9-5. THE END

Posted by: Deetard Apr 15 2009, 09:02 PM

they took a few sick days. those are allowed, too, ya'know.

Posted by: brooklyneast05 Apr 15 2009, 09:02 PM

Posted by: brooklyneast05 Apr 15 2009, 09:05 PM

no one needs to. i couldn't care less about my name being posted. i just don't get what the point in you calling me by my full name would be. what is it?

Posted by: hi-C Apr 15 2009, 09:05 PM

Ohhh. I was like who the eff is James?

Posted by: Deetard Apr 15 2009, 09:05 PM

it's thomas' dry humor. he has nothing else to act on.

Posted by: ArjunaCapulong Apr 15 2009, 09:07 PM

skimmed through a lot of 'junk' about what a mod should and shouldn't be doin' but tbh I think @ this day and time of cB, the role of the 'mod' is played down and no longer as significant as it once was


aka I don't think ppl should get so hyped up over mod perf. anymore

only douchebag in here is thomas.

think the best way is to just put him on ignore. not like he ever posts anything worthy of reading anyways.

Posted by: karmakiller Apr 15 2009, 09:11 PM

Thomas, let me just say: This is a mod performance thread, not an invitation to personally insult people.

We all knew you were f*cked up and all, Thomas, but seriously. The f*ck. I don't think that "poor people skills" can excuse your behaviour anymore.

That post alone was way bigger of a deal than a few staff members not being active all the f*cking time. I'd much rather have a few competent staff members that aren't on all the time, rather than an always active douchebag of a staff member.

Posted by: Just_Dream Apr 16 2009, 10:19 PM

No, they do not have to be active posters to get on staff. There are plenty of members who are active (posted a lot) who weren't on staff, in the past. I'm only referring to the past because you're bringing up old shit that isn't even important anymore.

Staff members are chosen because of their contributions, regardless of how much they post. Consider this: Someone posts 100 useful posts versus someone posting 500 posts that don't really contribute much. Who is more worthy of being on staff?

Yes they can leave whenever they want as long as it's personal leave, however it does make sense that people should not be constantly disappearing for long periods of time. I also went through this and I eventually stepped down. This was only a problem because I was ADMINISTRATOR and the fact that I was gone during a very crucial time (transition of cB to cb2 or cB3 or something, I forget) and a bunch of other stuff (by-laws, cB revolution, etc.). I did long in once every now and then (lol probably once a week or something and posted quite a bit when I could). That was the past though, and I would have to say that cB was MUCH MORE ACTIVE overall [back then]...

blah blah blah I'll post more later if I feel like it, but anyways the point I'm making is (sorry for being redundant) that at this time, it shouldn't really matter in terms of activity. Activity hasn't been a big problem because there isn't a bunch of spam or issues that need to be dealt with forum-wise, so what's the point in posting all the time? Shit, cB staff members aren't even getting paid for their time.

Posted by: fixtatik Apr 16 2009, 11:39 PM

isn't this supposed to be a moderator performance thread, not a "diss the person who has negative thoughts on moderator performance" thread? sure, thomas could handle your reactions a little differently, but for goodness sake, give the guy a break.

i'm pretty sure he means you need to be an active poster to be on staff, but you don't need to be on staff to be an active poster. also, what other type of leave besides personal is there? someone can't leave if they die?

i'm not on a quest to get on anyone's bad side here, but you people need to chill out.

Posted by: ArjunaCapulong Apr 16 2009, 11:44 PM

used 'try 2 be' the neutral party just like u, back in the day

Posted by: hi-C Apr 16 2009, 11:46 PM

Same could go for Thomas. Just sayin'.

Posted by: fixtatik Apr 16 2009, 11:52 PM

just sayin'.

i'm not a "back in the day" member, so i guess i'll take what i have coming to me for speaking out. just seems a bit immature that everyone here (including thomas) is resorting to internet bashing. it's the whole, "u b glad idk u irl cuz i beat ur face in!"

Posted by: hi-C Apr 16 2009, 11:53 PM

^ No one's attacking you...

Posted by: fixtatik Apr 16 2009, 11:56 PM

^ i'm not saying they are. but i have noticed around the cB forums that every time someone speaks their mind, there's always someone else who comes in and starts in with some nonsense.

mostly-teen website or not, can't we act like adults? take ideas or thoughts in the feedback forum seriously (that's what feedback is, right), instead of outright saying, "no you're wrong." i'm not pointing fingers; it's just what i've seen.

Posted by: hi-C Apr 17 2009, 12:06 AM

It doesn't happen every time someone speaks their minds. And in this case, the one who started the "nonsense," as you called it, was in fact, http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=219540&view=findpost&p=3173255. So while I do understand your call for maturity, and indeed, your instinct to defend Thomas, this time, it's better to leave well enough alone.

Posted by: fixtatik Apr 17 2009, 12:23 AM

i'm not at all defending thomas. as i said, he could have handled the responses differently. but yes, it is a call for maturity. not to sound insulting, but "he started it" is not a step in that direction.

whomever starts the crap in any thread should be the last person to be a part of it. as moderators and administrators, if someone is being extremely distasteful, issue a warning. starting in with sarcastic remarks only heightens the situation. it might do everyone some good to re-read the community guidelines.

Posted by: kryogenix Apr 17 2009, 01:43 AM

nigger

Posted by: brooklyneast05 Apr 17 2009, 06:52 AM

i don't get how re-reading the community guidelines would change the outcome. i don't think there's anything in there that says we can't disagree with someone when they are misinformed. which is what thomas is when he calls out people who have legitimate reasons for being gone and have already informed the staff of their reasons. on the other hand, i'm sure the community guidelines have something to say about thomas' bashing and racial comments


duno, i get what you're saying and i'd agree if it was anyone else fixtatik. i just don't agree when it comes to thomas becuase he's so irrational, flips out to such extremes and insults people personally when people disagree with him here. any provoking i did was after he'd already called me a douchebag so i don't feel that badly about it really, not to mention it wasn't even on the same level as his reactions to me.

Posted by: superstitious Apr 17 2009, 08:35 AM

Ok, first I'd like to say that I think it's great that you are trying to look at things from a go by the rules perspective and being the bigger "man", so to speak. However, when someone like Thomas (who I still believe needs a psychological evaluation) insults you on such a personal level, the game changes some... even if for a few posts. It's natural and understandable to defend yourself. Sarcasm is often the first weapon of defense. I think that for the most part, this situation was handled maturely and the counter posting stopped (especially after Dee posted, requesting that everyone move on).

I've made no secret that I refuse to read anything Thomas posts, unless he decides to use a different account to respond to me or someone quotes him, at which point, I can't help but see it. He insulted my child and myself (for having a disabled child), for no reason other than he couldn't come up with something logical or intelligent to counteract whatever drama he had cooked up for himself. As a mentor (and someone who helps out administratively), I shouldn't put people on ignore. However, staff understands and I am without doubt, that Jusun would also understand. That being said, I refuse to entertain such a blatent attention seeker. That's my style though. I intentionally did not respond in this topic because I felt that a) I don't have objectivity where he is concerned after his personal remark and b) why give him what he wants? (attention).

Posted by: Deetard Apr 17 2009, 02:46 PM

thomas sucks.

just sayin.

also, thomas took a huge leave of absence. who else remembers his sig saying he wouldn't be back to the first of the year? is that different? i don't think so. thomas, you did it, too, so go suck on a lemon.

thomas just let it go, your suggestion of staff members triggered nothing but fire. not everyone spends their lives on Cb like you do. like everyone said we have other things in our mind than cb, way more important. staff members are to make it better, yes, but cb doesn't need "fixing" or staff members EVERYDAY. i do agree with you however, but you can not remove them for their job if something else is important. maybe to you it seems like there are no staff members to make your vision of cb better, but there is enough for the cb we see is fine. you should less-stalk the mods on cb, cause it seems like your doing that a lot. plus thomas, we have many mods now.. i don't understand why your bringing up the people who can't be on cb, when there are ones here. i'm not against you or anything but some points i agree with you and some i'm far from it.


we have our right to speak our mind, but not the way Thomas does it. you've never been a situation where someone has insulted you personally on this site, not saying I have, but just from experience wise (what everyone is explaining about from their point of view). speaking our minds, is actually what the forums are all about, if we couldn't speak our minds, you wouldn't be giving your explanation on to telling us to act mature. i do agree with you on pointing fingers and maturity, but really this isn't something new, we all know how to act mature, it's just there's fights. not everyone can get along with the same people.


re-reading the community guidelines is pointless, just like what Jc said, all the members know the rules. we know our limits, somehow some of us like to disobey the rules every now and then, it's like school basically. we all have our flaws, and there isn't anything wrong with that.

Wow Shannon.

Posted by: illmortal Apr 17 2009, 07:47 PM

I'm still tryin to figure out the math in this whole lowering of "warning percentage". You see.. you moderators made it clear that each week the warning level should drop 10%. Yet... it's taken 5 almost 6 weeks to drop from 40% to 10% (yes... I'm still on 20% for almost two weeks now, just like I was on 30% for two weeks, and I was on 40% for two weeks). I think it's time to implement an automatic system. Either mods are abusing their powers, someone(s) simply don't know their math, or finally... someone(s) just isn't doing there moderating job. But then again... it could simply be discrimination.

Pick your poison... because it's 1 of those 4 options at hand and it's an embarrassment.

Posted by: hi-C Apr 17 2009, 08:00 PM

^ No, warnings stay in place for two weeks, so it should drop every two weeks. I see that it's been two weeks since your last lowering, so I'll go ahead and do that for you.

And no, we're not discriminating against you.

Posted by: superstitious Apr 17 2009, 08:08 PM

WARNING SYSTEM


http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=167152

It's a notch every two weeks, depending on whether or not you have been warned in between warning decreases. I can't speak for anyone else, but I have no personal grudge against you at all. Sure, I don't agree with many things that you post, but that doesn't stop me from lowering warn levels. I honestly don't know of anyone who has a personal grudge against you on staff as well, but I'm not a mind reader. haha

In fact, in looking at your warn log, Dee lowered a warning 5 days early at one point. It's an imperfect system (since it is not automated and automation would have to be added/implemented by the site owner) executed by imperfect people. :) It also looks like she moved a warn level more than the typical 10% notch once.

Posted by: illmortal Apr 17 2009, 08:25 PM

Ya when I came back to the states and back onto CB... it was like a good 6-7 month gap and she was kind enough to kill off the warning level since it was there for a long time.




You go girl!

Posted by: Just_Dream Apr 17 2009, 10:13 PM

Nope, as this was/is not always the case. I got on staff with a very few amount of posts, and there were other past staff members who didn't have a shitload of posts nor would I say there were "actively posting" but still became staff members. But to remain on staff, "actively posting" isn't really important if the staff member is still contributing, such as helping out with the queue, answering questions (less or more), etc.


What does this have to do with anything? Are you directing this towards me? Because personal leave is obviously an encompassing term. So the sarcasm just sounds out of place. Thomas doesn't really bother me because I'm not even on staff. I just felt like replying with my opinions, that's all. I want no trubbo, NU TRUBBO!


Juna, you wish you got paid for being a photographer broYe.

Posted by: fixtatik Apr 18 2009, 01:41 AM

if he's wrong in the way he's speaking his mind, then warnings should be in place. and with all the negativity i see in his direction (meaning examples i've been given of him acting out of place), it should be a pretty high level by now. and yes, i have been insulted personally, though it was nearly a year ago and i don't hold grudges, so there's no point bringing it up.

however you may think, re-reading the guidelines is not pointless."not tolerated" means not tolerated. it just feels to me that it's a rule that isn't enforced very well.

edit: hell, re-reading the guidelines i've realized should be warned too, as the banners i have in my signature aren't for a "personal" site. it's commercial. =\

Posted by: Gigi Apr 18 2009, 02:09 AM

^ tbh we've always been very lax on warnings so it's no surprise that Thomas didn't get any warnings for his crass behaviour. I think on a certain level the mods/other members think that it would be unfair to warn Thomas and not other people as well for giving him a taste of his douchebaggery.

And anyway, for the most part people HAVE been retorting with "reason and composure". It's only JC who really bashed Thomas, but only after he said "black douchebag name" (so in this case the bashing back, although not entirely necessary, was provoked and understandable). It's Thomas who has resorted to the personal attacks time and time again when he realizes that no one is on his side. So you're right on one thing, it's that Thomas need some more f*ckin' warnings.

But to keep quoting the Community Guidelines in a situation where many liberties were taken is silly. When the guidelines were written up and agreed upon, there was an understanding that we would judge any incidents on a case-by-case basis, not just blindly following the guidelines.

Posted by: Deetard Apr 18 2009, 07:59 AM

that still doesnt make it right to attack someones son because you dont get your way ***hole. if you cant fight fairly stfu and go cry. that is unfair to resort to insults of that nature. now move along. you took leaves of absences just as they are so dont bitch about something you once did. besides its not even that big of a deal you just have a sour taste still because they kicked your ass off staff and you act as if they cant function without you but theyve made it this far so you dont seem like too much of a huge asset. besides who wants some ocd ridden fool running the forum? no one. this is over.

^ Abused power? Heh, you didn't even see the things he edited. Besides, VIP Lounge is there for people to have fun.

To address what fixtatik brought up about the Guidelines, the guidelines are actually being enforced. Usually the rest of the community doesn't know when a member is warned unless said member mentions it. Or if it's in a topic and a mod steps in and tells people they are have taken bashing too far and the topic is being closed, then one can assume the people who were bashing were warned. Honestly, though, it isn't anyone's business who was warned for what (only the person who was warned and mods). Unfortunately things don't always turn out that way. They are called guidelines for a reason and obviously there are cases where they are not enforced.

but isn't it fine time I go back down to 10% :] Also, that additional warning today was implemented because it was said I was trying to "demean" the person who's picture I posted? I was just unfamiliar with who it was since they looked oddly familiar but I wasn't quite who.

Posted by: DoubleJ Jun 24 2009, 04:40 PM

I will decrease the warning when the time allows for it, but you do know the rules. It states that a member cannot use another members photo without their permission and I believe that you did do that. Now do people break rules around here all the time? Of course they do. It just so happens that what you did touched off a firestorm of backlash, and as a result you have had your warning level increased. I know it may seem like a bitchassness thing to do on your part, but rules are rules.

Posted by: superstitious Jun 24 2009, 05:36 PM

Steven, you could have been double warned, for your behavior in MP regarding dressyoureyeldids. You were given one warning, for the posting a member's picture without their permission.

Also, merged with mod performance, since essentially you are complaining about a moderator's decision.

edit (since I wanted to hurry up and post since you didn't wonder where your thread went):

You're a cool guy, Steven but sometimes, you just cross the line o' bashing. You shouldn't get uptight when you get warned.

Posted by: serotonin Jul 23 2009, 12:40 AM

Cool story bro. You are in the wrong because I wasn't bashing anyone in the OP. If you wanted to get mad at people for flaming trolling member bashing you name it, you should have given out individual warnings. If you had been able read then you would have seen in the topic that it in no place bashed a createblog member. It was completely anonymous and aliased. Sound good fatsweetcheaks??

Also note that this is not against the TOS, as gorillas are not people (not counting the awesome band) and this can not be considered a personal attack. Thank you, back to culinary school, the taco bells around here have horrible burrito makers. I'd rather have a friendly and thin nurse to fill out my paperwork.

Oh and a legitimate complaint :] Diana (Hypnotique) acts immature and childish and posts inappropriate things from time to time. Her overly sexual behavior does not reflect well upon the moderating team and she has been noted to make pointless posts such as "Ugh." in a thread that clearly was created without malice and had potential for intellectual, albeit controversial, conversation.

Posted by: karmakiller Jul 23 2009, 12:49 AM

Just 'cause there's nothing else interesting going on around here... completely anonymous?


it even says her names in the screen cap PMs, haha.

Isn't Diana kind of giving you all a break by just closing the topic and not handing warnings out all around?

Posted by: serotonin Jul 23 2009, 12:53 AM

Posted by: hypnotique Jul 23 2009, 04:53 PM

Oh has steven has run out of more interesting insults other then the color of my skin and weight?

Anyway, twig when i said id ignore it is because no matter what you say to defend yourself, you still will not win the argument as the topic itself turned into personal attacks and so on and so forth.

Even if you meant "good" and "innocent" you can blame the other posters in the thread for having your little topic closed and besides, you had your little fun for a while before i stepped in so I dont see why you should take so much offense

again you can take this to PM and this time the "gorilla" might read it and possibly respond

I'll say this - this is the second, maybe third time that Joseph has jumped the gun on a new monthly topic. I don't think that a mod starting the topic is that big of a deal, but the month hadn't even turned over yet. That's mostly what Michael is addressing.

Posted by: serotonin Jul 31 2009, 11:45 AM

Michael is a racist!

Posted by: mipadi Jul 31 2009, 01:05 PM

It's not a "rule", just an unwritten, long-standing policy. I remember way back in July or August of 2005, when James-Kryo was still a mod, I started a new screenshots topic like one minute past midnight on the first of a month, and James chastised me for starting a new topic because it was one of the mod's duties. It's just an old tradition -- mostly for the reason you stated, in fact. A new "cyclical" topic (screenshots thread, Members' Photos, etc.) shouldn't be started until an old one is closed, and only mods can close topics, and if a mod closes an old topic he might as well start the new one...

Also, it's a policy that doesn't matter. You gotta pick your battles, man. You should read Paul Graham's essay "http://www.paulgraham.com/say.html" and really take it to heart. I mean, I'm not gonna go around warning people for starting new desktop screenshots threads, but it's just a long-standing courtesy to let a mod clean all that up.

Posted by: tcunningham Jul 31 2009, 05:28 PM

I'm not saying that Michael's way out of line for closing the topic, I just didn't understand that "policy" of the only people that are allowed to create sequential topics are moderators. To me, it sounded like he was pretty much censoring Joseph, telling him that he's not allowed to post the new topic. And on a bigger scale, that members were losing posting privileges. I know for certain that I posted one or two new desktop threads, as well as Brandon, when neither of us had the privileges to close the previous one. It was only a question on how and why Michael said what he said.

Posted by: karmakiller Jul 31 2009, 09:06 PM

It's not August so an August thread doesn't need to be made, yet. Even if it was a topic that hasn't been made before, people would point out it is still July. It's not that big of a deal, there are no rules about it. Blame the calender, not the mods.


brownsugar, y'all must be getting bored.

Out with the old. in with the new.

Posted by: karmakiller Jul 31 2009, 10:54 PM

Good theory, but where's the "new"?

Posted by: Buttsex Jul 31 2009, 11:01 PM

It's the internet, we can't have "new".

Posted by: manny-the-dino Aug 1 2009, 12:12 AM

Tbh, I didn't really see it as a big deal nor was I aware of the fact that only moderators could make these threads which is why I let Joseph have his fun and keep his thread. It's not a huge deal. There are more important thing we should be concerned about. But I can understand the frustration.

Posted by: Franklyyn Aug 3 2009, 08:57 PM

i noticed how few moderators there are. i like that.

god when i was Head Staff there was only 2 heads, 2 admins and i wanna say like freakin' 14 to 17 forum moderators!!

Posted by: Mike Aug 3 2009, 09:04 PM

I remember when a couple or so people would be hired for each of the support forums.

Hey mods... what are you going to do about this:




http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=239796&view=findpost&p=3231184

Then this is the best that a mod does, on the spot:
http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=239796&view=findpost&p=3231187



Yet this is the same mod that's quick to warn me if I call someone stupid

So what are we doing here?



And seriously, can you guys tell this girl that the wanna be JP look really doesn't fit her:


I can't even tell if this is a joke or if she's really that retarded.

Posted by: superstitious Aug 9 2009, 09:31 AM

I love the smell of mod feedback in the morning.

I agree that Joseph should be warned for that and will take care of it after I finish this post. I'll also go ahead and warn you for posting a member's picture without permission. After all, we should do our best to be fair, right?

Posted by: Mike Aug 9 2009, 09:34 AM

Stop whinging and quoting his poor attempt at bashing, Tama. How many years do you have on JCP?

Posted by: illriginal Aug 9 2009, 09:40 AM

It's ok... I've already Screen shotted a few of your post and have sent it in for investigation. As well as hypnotique... I mean it's only best for parents to know that an adult on the internet isn't feeding their children with pornographic material.

I hope you took that name serious when I mentioned it... if not... heh, you're in for a big surprise.



(and you call yourself a moderator of an online forum board that's mixed with all ages, you should be ashamed of yourself)

Posted by: superstitious Aug 9 2009, 09:41 AM

Oh thank goodness! This porn posting really needs to stop!

edit - Pushing anti American sentiments on such impressionable youth isn't a very good idea, sir.

Posted by: illriginal Aug 9 2009, 09:53 AM

lol If you only had a clue what I do.


And Freedom of Speech isn't against the law. But what you've done along with a few others, is definitely against the law across the U.S. and Canada.

Posted by: superstitious Aug 9 2009, 09:57 AM

Right. :) I've PM'd, you, since apparently this has moved past mod feedback. haha

Posted by: mipadi Aug 9 2009, 10:39 AM

I'm not saying that jcp's argument is justified, but I'd just like to point out that you attacked him first, illriginal:

Note the timestamps: yours is a half hour before jcp's.

I'd also like to point out that you're...what? 23? 25? Something like that? jcp is...14? Sounds like someone needs to be the bigger man (or perhaps the adult) here.

Posted by: illriginal Aug 9 2009, 11:04 AM

You're comparing apples with oranges. The kid is a racist little shit.

Posted by: mipadi Aug 9 2009, 11:06 AM

Yes, and we all know you're the epitome of tolerance.

You also haven't refuted my point that you essentially started it. jcp may have escalated it, but you started it.

Posted by: illriginal Aug 9 2009, 11:21 AM

Not necessarily as you refuse to look further back. The fact of the matter is... racism shouldn't be tolerated especially when it comes to falsifying a religion with "suicide bombing on another race"



Lets be honest, if it was I who made a racist remark as far as that little shit went, I would be banned for at least 2 weeks if not perma-banned.






I'm actually being dead serious... this forum has been advocating garbage to children for 2 years now. You can ask superstitious about it as it's not a joke.

Posted by: mipadi Aug 9 2009, 11:25 AM

How are jcp's comments any different from you comments about people of other religions, or people who you find to be "promiscuous", or things of that nature? Haven't you threatened to, e.g., slit people's throats with a scimitar because they disagreed with your religious beliefs? Hell, within the past couple of days you told karmakiller to go overdose on birth control. How are those comments any different from those of jcp?

At any rate, the thread was shut down as soon as I saw it, and jcp has been warned. Happy now?

Posted by: illriginal Aug 9 2009, 11:27 AM

Not really... Since racism should be an auto-ban. But I'll let you know when I'm satisfied, hopefully.

Posted by: mipadi Aug 9 2009, 11:33 AM

So what about sexuality? You've made a lot of offensive comments about homosexuality -- should that be an auto-ban, too?

Posted by: illriginal Aug 9 2009, 11:38 AM

Sexuality should be kept in privacy to begin with... whether hetero or homo... skin color and ethnicity cannot really be kept a secret.



So you banning the little shit? If not, then I guess I've discovered a new boundary.

Posted by: DoubleJ Aug 9 2009, 11:45 AM

I think that it's only fair that if we ban him, then we ban you as well.

Posted by: Buttsex Aug 9 2009, 12:07 PM

This.

Posted by: karmakiller Aug 9 2009, 12:51 PM

I know this has nothing to do with mod performance, but I really don't understand why someone who hates it here stays. If you don't like the people here, the rules here, the topics here, then why are you still here? You start shit with someone who is 10 years younger than you and then you whine like a little baby when he actually says something back to you. Yes, he was childish, but so were you. I know Joseph can be annoying sometimes, but he usually doesn't personally attack people unless he's provoked... and making a topic directed at hating on him counts as him being provoked. The way a mod looks doesn't have anything to do with how they mod, btw.

Like I said, if you don't like the forum or it's people, then why are you here?

Posted by: Buttsex Aug 9 2009, 01:34 PM

I know this forum has one of these. Do him a favor.

Posted by: rnicron Aug 9 2009, 02:41 PM

BUT EVERYONE IS MISSING THE POINT THAT WHEN TAMA MADE FUN OF YANLINS DECEASED FRIEND, THAT WAS MORE THAN ACCEPTABLE IN HIS BOOK!

if he does it, it's ok. if someone does it back, it's the end of the world. haven't we learned this by now?

Posted by: mipadi Aug 9 2009, 02:55 PM

Says you. But that's one person's opinion.

You can't have it both ways. If you want people to be tolerate of you and your religious beliefs, "race", etc., then you have to be tolerant of other people. I can't justify banning a member for racism if we don't also ban you because of your hate speech.

Anyway, aren't you a proponent of free speech? The right to free speech includes the right to say things that illriginal may find offensive.

I believe the entire mod staff ahs been doing a phenomenal job dealing with createBlog. There has been a lot to take care of on this wonderful site and everything has been kept great looking. I can't speak for the design side of things beacuse frankly I'm ignorant to that part but I haven't seen anything bad and we have some wonderful design staffers!

Some mods that in particular strike mas doing a wonderful job are:

Manny The Dino - You've been particularly mature with dealing with me and my shenanigans in the past. You've also been wonderfully unbiased in dealing with issues around the boards.

Cristy - You've got to be the cutest of the mods. You are active in more than just the lounge or pictures. You're always ALWAYS in music and the k-pop thread. If you weren't with James I would want you to be mine. As G-Dragon said, you're a heart heart heart heart hearttt breakerrrr, only because we didn't start talking before James walked into the picture. No hard feelings though, James is my homie for life.

Hi - C - Intelligent. Straight up, intelligent. Fashionable too. She's one of the few to actually follow my tumblr when I posted it before I forgot about it :( I'm sorry! I'll try to be more active! Yours is wonderful, too!

Mike - Fashion king. He's always posting about shit he's bought, keeping an artistic side to the forums going around. He also doesn't follow the guidelines strictly and be boring. He has a sense of humor, and a cute mustache.

TJ - TJ TJ TJ. I've been an ass to you, but you're wonderfully mature for your age. There was some "e-drama" the other week and you handled it well. Better than I could have, especially when I was younger.

Posted by: brooklyneast05 Sep 7 2011, 06:48 PM

we complained about needing a capatcha a billion times. it's something that jusun would have had to implement since i don't think anyone else had those powers. aka nothing ever happened cause nothing ever happened that involved him and he was too much of a bitch to just suck it up and hand over the site powers to mipadi, which would have been amazing, and we would all still be having fun here because michael would have actually done something. it's not like he's some nutcase 16 year old either who would have f*cked shit up, but nooooooooooooooooooo. jusun wouldn't know who was actually sane here because he didn't come here enough to know who was sane here or have any context for what we were talking about.



IDC ABOUT RUN ON SENTENCES

Posted by: boot Sep 7 2011, 11:06 PM

last time I remember the site being updated was removing features, disabling the themes that someone created (it was so long ago that I don't even remember who made them). before that I'm pretty sure was adding that stupid blue bar up top or possibly breaking something

moral of the story is that if jusun isn't going to handle it (at this point I can only assume he either doesn't care or died or something) I don't understand why he never gave it to someone who would

Posted by: brooklyneast05 Sep 8 2011, 06:41 AM

trish made those themes. they were nice. yeah, if he would have handed over the power to someone, this site would have been fine without him. other members are knowledgeable enough to do shit, and cared enough to donate some time to it.

i'll never understand why he wouldn't do that. just cause that psycho girl got pissed and tried to delete the whole site once back when he apparently gave admins too much power. sure, that was a bad situation, but again, she was like 16 years old.

Posted by: boot Sep 8 2011, 11:06 PM

but of course now admin is barely more than moderator because he toned it down too much
