Mods, what is going on?

SH80er · #1 11-04-2001, 02:23 AM

I have gotten a few suspecious PM's from some moderators, I would appreciate it if I knew what the heck is going on.

If you don't want to discuss it here, PM or email me.

SH80er · #2 11-04-2001, 02:25 AM

James, yoo hoo I know you're online now.
What's up?

James · #3 11-04-2001, 03:07 AM

How can a Pm be suspicious? It either says something or doesn't say something. To be suspiscious it would have allude to something harmful that then took place or give innuendo about it.

As far as something going on. I have no idea of what actions that might be going on pertaining to you from mods, this is a virtual medium that precludes them really "doing" anything to you. That is the virtue of the net, you can be violate most rules of propriety without any consequences more serious than printed roman characters appearing that indicate some dissaproval of you. Although somtimes its in strong language, but what the fuck, who cares.

I will say, since you made a post with some seriously vague questions which opens up almost every category of possible speculation, that your posts have a knack of rubbing some people the wrong way. And some of those people are mods.

Personally, since you decided to address me personally, I find your posts to be mostly unmemorable with very little content that I would deem informative, entertaining, or useful. And since I am kind of self centered, your posts that others deem inflammatory, I barely notice except to get a distant chuckle from time to time. However that applies to many of the things I read on here, so you have hardly cornered that market.

If the PM's you have recieved are worth reading, likely insulting, inflammatory, threatening . . . or otherwise entertaining, please feel free to cut and paste them and forward them to me. If they are kind of mundane or even insulting in an unentertaining matter, please don't forward them I read enough boring stuff everyday.

If the PM's are out of line or whetever, and they would have to be pretty bad in highly specific ways for me to even care, you can rest assured I'll b ashonest in my feedback to the mods as I am to you.

Hope the rest of your weekend is a blast,

James

Well at least someone feels this way about my posts.

Tom PM me, asking if there was a problem. Maybe the problem is that, the majority of GC does not percieve my posts the James do. And, that I need to remember to be more sensitive to other GCer's who are sensitive.

What in the world are you talking about? If you have issues with a specfic mod then take it to them personally . I mean I think if you ask these mods who have PMed you some questions, i am sure they will have some answers for you.
As for calling out James, I am sure in his post he gave you the answer that mosts fits the situation. But I don't think it's a point of being sensitive, I think it's just how one conducts his or herself
I mean I hate to be Rude (actually, I am getting better at it

) but this whole situation is getting kinda *yawn* boring and old

Well, from reading Tom's email it appeared that something had been discussed between the mods and/or other GC members. Maybe I'm wrong.

I do think that sensitivity does play a factor. In general I am a pretty light hearted and easy going person. I mean less than 5% of the things that I post should be taken seriously. Sometimes I fool myself into thinking that everyone else is like that also. If it wasn't a factor, I don't think that 75% of GC would want to skin me alive, they'll be like "whatever" instead.

wait, only 75%? let me see your calculations

but seriously now - james is right, this is the internet, and the most serious response or "retaliation" you'll get are a few harsh words and banishment to the land of annoying people

if you have something to say to a specific moderator (ahem) take it up with them in a PM or e-mail - otherwise, all youre doing with this is looking for attention

Tom Earp · #8 11-04-2001, 12:28 PM

SH80er, since you brought out my PM and you said there were others (? ) it shows a caring about the site and the people on it! I noticed you did not repost my whole PM also!

As you can see from the above NO ONE wants to skin you alive or Douse, Boot, or Kicked Off. Most of us as I told you have a common Interest, the Greek Community, from my age down to Newbie or any of the other new Rushees!

Yoou are one of us unless YOU you do not want to be?

Will look for Ya on Site

Naw . . . it's absolutely within the range of normal behavior to drop a line to every one of the 11000 members of this bulletin board, rather than taking it up with the specific people you claim to have issue with.

As per usual, I am in full concord with James - the majority of things I read on here are just keeping me from doing something more important, which is generally the point. However, this thread is the most ridiculous bit of horseshit i've been a part of in a long while.

Hey sh80 - can I have that five minutes of my life back? Thanks. Make sure to use a valid return address, or the post office may not deliver.

ZTAngel · #11 11-04-2001, 01:41 PM

Actually SH80er, I am not at all offended by your posts. I actually find it funny that someone has to cry for attention through 1100 people that they've never once met!

Take notice. My title was "MODS, what is going on?", if this really was a cry for attention for 11,000 people to read, it would be titled "GC, what is going on?"

Mr. KSRC, the last time I checked, you were not a moderator. So, if this thread was the most ridiculous bit of horseshit you've been a part of in a long while, why did you bother to reply let alone read it?

SH80er · #13 11-05-2001, 12:20 AM

ZetaAce, please delete or lock this thread. It is becoming useless.

Dejajeva · #14 11-05-2001, 12:24 AM

Nah. Don't. I'm actually amused.

I'm glad they all hate you again instead of bitching about me.

Always,
JEss
