    MODS

    This lovely site is known and respected for its Moderators, moderating in moderation ..... So I found it humorous that when Sudden and Nicci (a moderator) got into a heated debate, another moderator (Curt) jumped in to moderate their argument. This causes drama and Nynus (another moderator) steps in to moderate that argument and asks that it stops. Poor Jen (the highest of all moderators) is upset that her thread was hijacked. Curt again decides to use his powers that be and (as being a moderator), tells everyone to cool it. Night Nurse (yep, another moderator) decides enough is enough, threatens a 24 hour ban and closes Jen's thread!
    Come on ~ it's pretty funny!

    oh, I was just wondering ~ does this site ban moderators? Because if there was to be a ban .... any moderator that says to a member (whether that member deserved it or not)
    You shut the fuck up, you're being a little bitch. grow up and get over it already
    ~ should be included

    I love this place!

    Just an insight into moderation: we get called upon to moderate (hence the high number of moderators in a drama filled thread) to calm things down. Sometimes humour works... sometimes threats work... sometimes nothing works and we Moderators discuss what should be done in the interest of the site.

    The only thing that is assured is that you cannot please all of the people all of the time.

    It's horrid when issues from the past gets called into play.

    It's horrendous when private messages are displayed for all the world to see (and yet perhaps they still don't tell the full story).

    It's diabolical when all you see is repetition.


    Yet I laugh!!! Why? Cos in the real world there are much more important issues than online egos, childishness and sarcasm.



    So feel free to love the site as much as us perhaps pain in the arse moderators... and enjoy

    Well actually, it was just a debate, and would have remained so, if the MOD in question's intention was to Moderate. Oddly enough, the issue had absolutely nothing to do with said mod. Your guess is as good as mine as to the motive, since he was 100% on Nicc's side, and told me to "leave her the %$#% alone", attacking me not only on that thread but also the next one also not started by me.

    Just an observation

    I really don't want another fiasco out of this thread. I took this thread as an opportunity to admit we are human and mistakes happen and laugh at ourselves, not to bring on more drama. I'm asking everyone to please move on so we can start team play on Monday on a good foot.

    .............

    Would it be totally inappropriate if I asked us all to get together and sing: ??

    Seriously, moderator or not, no one is perfect. We wont get it right everytime, and we will never be able to please everyone with the decisions we make. There will always be people who look to cause trouble, no matter where they are or who they might hurt in the process. To expect us to always react in your own perceived "right" way is absurd. We all react and handle things differently. It's a give and take on all of our parts. We all try to follow the rules and the mods do their best to enforce them. You may not always agree with our answer, but you can be sure its been discussed and we always try to consider what's best for LP when making a decision.

    I don't know if they do it in America but in schools in the UK they often have charity events which have teachers in the stocks and the children pay to throw wet sponges at them. Obviously this is done in good humour unlike the history of it where the town's people would throw rotten veg at the person in the stocks of bygone years.

    Perhaps some of you members want us Moderators in stocks and to throw wet sponges at us via a thread. Perhaps you could pay a fee towards a poker game every time you "throw a sponge"? Let's turn all this venting into something acceptably moronic and yet positive......

    Well?
