The downside of mod promotions

It has just dawned on me, that since TG and Siro have been "modded" that now I have 2 less intellegent people to chat and debate with. I don't think I can stress enough, how precious a resource intellegence is becoming around here.

This leads me to another thought. Remember how alot of you lovely mods and admin used to hang out in one particular thread in the General? I miss those days. It would be cool if you guys would start posting more often. At least you could help to off-set the n00bishness.

Please, I'm begging you here. Help make this place fun again. Slaggy.. Reploid.. Hack.. Siro.. come on guys. Neut, I know you can be creative. Just try.. for me? Please? What about Salusus? He writes well. Cog, Scolo, Violet, Dredd, come on.

They are busy chasing one No0b after the other. As long as the No0BiHneSs exist here in NS, they'll be runing head over heals :cry:

I know. N00bishness is a disease. It's quite contagious, and it tends to kill older nations. I think I'm getting sick too. I might not make it another week. This place is just too boring. The only enjoyment I get is seeing Rep nuke n00bs. That's so sad.

A part from battling the nightly spammers, I have a region to defend and my studies to do. Time is indeed a precious resource.

I know you do Neut. It's a shame it's usually in some stupid anti-mod thread. You did ok with the "I want to have Neutered Sputniks baby" thread. That was almost fun, except now people are talking about us.

*denies having sexual relations with that... Mod.. Neutered Sputniks.*

He has forsaken us. He lead us here like lambs to the slaughter. Now he doesn't even come and throw us a bone while we languish in the pit of despair. :cry:

Was that dramatic enough for you? :lol:

But sadly, the General Forum has become the "Post Your Spam, Flames, and Flamebait Here" Forum.

Every time within the last couple months that I start a thread in General I get semi-flames directed at me. :evil:

[dredd] hasn't been retired so I can only assume he does some behind the scenes work...

Mod away TG. Just try and go after the bonfires of flame.

How about deleating threads that get locked for spam and flame. Maybe that way Violet won't have to delete anymore quality threads.

Thank you TG.

I'll watch for when it is safe to go back in.

That's not really our policy, deleting recent threads, it would mean too much ongoing work anyway. We do things a bit differently, have a cull every now and then. Easier to manage. That way, all we have to do on a daily basis is lock and warn.

Well, I think a Mod Corner or something corney like that where you chat with us and get to know us would make things less . . . tramatic . . . when the purges happen.
Tactical Grace
18-10-2003, 00:23
:lol: Mod Corner!! Man, the whole forum would be flamebait! :lol:

Mind you, if someone was to start a Mod Corner thread in General, warning that misbehaving there would be suicide, that could be cool. If any of us actually had the time, that is.

What if someone like me or Ny or Parratoga did. We posted it, and kept it up. All you mods would need to do is come, chill, and delete bad posts.

I'd be up for that, time permitting. Emphasis on the time.

I'm quite aware of the policy. It's an unfortunate one.

Great idea. It would be nice if the mods hung out there too. I miss all those late night conversations.

I'm still quite pleased that he was modded. I just don't want him to stop posting.
