Are they troll bounty hunters? :whack:

Troll behavior should be reported by using the "report post" triangle-sign-with-an-exclamation-point icon at the lower left of the offending post. ;-)

[Smiling JOe]

Is it illegal to troll for trolls?

So does this mean we can start complaining about our moderators (and not Kurt) if they are not on top of things? :biggrin:

No giving moderators a hard time. They are working for the benefit of the whole community and should be given respect.

I love that you posted the Rules and 4 agreements (http://www.sowal.com/bb/showthread.php?p=2) on the other thread... I can never be reminded too often.

Good luck buoys and gulls! Better you than me!! :clap: :blink: :leaving:

p.s. will someone get Punzy to change her 'tar? It's just not right to have that in my face during prom week...

Already done. She told me the chocolate chip were really laxatives. Got me over it.:shock:

[jdarg]

Excellent choices!! Happy Day for SoWal.com!! I was hoping you would do this, Kurt!

[scooterbug44]

Math question - will increasing the moderators by a factor of 5 decrease the whining by 5 or just make some people think they are now being monitored 5 times more by the black helicopter squad? :idontno:

[TooFarTampa]

Too early to say, but Daddy-O has provided us with matching tinfoil hats...

[Smiling JOe]

Math question - will increasing the moderators by a factor of 5 decrease the whining by 5 or just make some people think they are now being monitored 5 times more by the black helicopter squad? :idontno:It will probably just make the five of us more aware of when we are breaking the rules. It was Daddy-O's only way to get me to read the rules. :funn:I guess that I now have no excuse for breaking them. :bang:

Not to be a "whiner" but it would be nice if sometime we might consider the Rotarian 4-way test (or at least #1 :biggrin:)

Is it the TRUTH?


Is it FAIR to all concerned?


Does it promote GOOD WILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIP?


Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

I like those, too.

[Smiling JOe]

You know that the truth doesn't make for good gossip, so scratch number 1. As for #4, Since when was any one thing beneficial to all? Isn't there a +/- to everything? With only 2 out of 4, I could never join Rotary.

[John R]

thanks for taking on this job, good luck.

First, do no harm. (I'm glad you're not my doctor, SJ.)

As long as you catch and release.

For those of us who don't understand moderation (*rimshot*), how does this work? Are they on shifts? Or do they meet as a committee and decide on important issues (like what to say when one has 4 chiclets instead of 3)?

Are they going to decide to put big blue signs up, or will they suddenly make all the smilies gender-specific?

If I hit the report button on everyone's posts, will some sort of alarm wake them in the middle of the night? (Is there a direct link to the commissioner and the bat signal? I think PC may be Gotham, you know.) Can they read my private messages? Can they hack into my computer and put elevator music on my iTunes?

Do they get special uniforms?

Is SJ going to require that we have icky 'tars, and is Punzy going to brainwash us into being liberals? (I still have my button, Punz, and still love ya!) If we misbehave, do we have to babysit for TFT while she goes on vacation? (I'm not even going to burden you with the paranoia I have about DD and Mango...:blink:)

Is this a lifetime appointment, or does it rotate with the tourist season? Which candidate is offering free booze and chocolate? (wait a minute--we didn't vote. scratch that last one.) Will one of them finally get Kitty off AOL? Does this mean that SJ will finally get cable?

Most importantly, how much can we mess with them, and what's in it for me?

I must know--this will keep me awake tonight.

I don't know the answers to any of these questions, but I'm giving you rep for asking them.

Listen up people ... I am still looking for that babysitter. And NoHall has given me a great idea. :whack:

Yeah, DD got her namesake. :clap:

I may have to report you, NoHall, with all of that cussing in the video, but that is funny. What movie is that?

What cussing? You have potty brain. It's "What About Bob?" which is by far the funniest movie ever made about borderline personality disorder. You must go rent it right now, or I'm gonna report you.

NoHall,
If you don't get the answers that you want, just Sybilize yourself and bump this thread until you do! Of course always be sure to say "with all due respect" or "I appreciate you taking the time to answer me" and be sure to keep asking them "from the heart" until those baturds give you the answers you need to so you can sleep nights without nightmares! :biggrin:
