Previous Entry  Add to memories!  Tell a Friend!  Next Entry
Fresh off being wanked for being a hypersensitive bint here, OpalCat issued the following missive (turning off comments, of course) to the citizens of Mock_The_Stupid:


A lot of people have criticized me for the way the community is run, and for daring to express frustration at receiving rude emails, etc. I also get complaints about the way the community is moderated.

The whiners seem to be saying that I should take more responsibility for things, and so I'm going to be making some changes this week.

First off, I will become the sole moderator of the community. This way there will no longer be a question of who accepted or rejected a given post, etc.
Second, the criteria for what gets accepted will be "whatever I think is stupid and funny enough".
Third, as I don't have a lot of time, posts may take a bit longer to get approved or rejected.
Fourth, I'm not going to put up with crap anymore. If you're rude to me, or I don't like the way you're acting, you're banned, plain and simple. Life is too short to try to be diplomatic with assholes.
Fifth, I will delete posts or comments that devolve into what I deem to be unneccessary ugliness or bickering, with or without warning.

Totalitarian? You betcha. But you know what? It's just LJ. You'll live.

((This reminds me of back in the day, when I had a good friend who was the sysop of a BBS. He gave a bunch of us Sysop access, and we'd have great fun banning each other, giving each other only ten minutes a day of available time, etc.))

There're a couple of posted links to communities that are for that exactly. :P

I'm sad by some of the comments on the original post too. A bunch of excuses like "I'm from Canada, I don't know!" WTFever. I'm from Canada and I know what Cinco de Mayo is.

you'd think we'd have a better chance of knowing, what with hopefully having a slight basis in french from sesame street. And, you know, building blocks for spanish.


tell me that made sense.

Makes sense to me. I mean that's how I know it because it sounds like it could almost be french. :D (Well, what with all the similarities between french and spanish :D)

it's actually amazing how much of spanish you can understand if you learnt french first. Only good thing being shoved into a all french school ever did to me.

LOL Nice! Growing up my best friends were from El Salvador and their parents spoke Spanish at home so I was exposed to it a lot there so the combination of learning french and having spanish-speaking friends helped too. :D

Wasn't The Point released on DVD recently? Or supposed to be at least? I neeeeeeed it. I know the crappy taped copy from my childhood is gonna die sometime (and so is the ancient VCR).

According to Amazon it is out on DVD now. (With Ringo Starr's narration, and a bunch of people whining like anime fans about how they prefer Dustin Hoffman or Alan Thicke. (I saw it with Dustin Hoffman myself, actually.)

At least one person says all the narrations are available on the DVD but everyone else says it's just Ringo.

I'm totally confused and shutting up now...

I don't know who narrates the one I have taped, I'll have to check.
I can't say as I care all that much though. Mostly I just want the darn movie.

And the cycle begins again. Six months, max, before people are complaining about how long it takes for posts to get approved and she appoints new moderators again.

Which will, of course, like before be all from the same timezone, so that it doesn't really make a difference whether there is 1 or 10 of them.

Were there even extra mods in the first place, or *da-DUM* were they all Opalcat all along?!?

I mean, think about it, has anyone ever actually seen any of these alleged mods anywhere? Eh, have you? *innocent look*

She did make an "email me if you want to be a mod" post lo, these many years ago, when the first complaints about the slow approvals popped up, but never announced who she'd picked.

Wow, that sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun for her. You can tell how enthusiastic she is about modding that great community.

But I must say, I love a powermad mod like nobody's business. YOU GO, CRAZY OPALCAT! LAY DOWN THE BANHAMMER! SHOW'EM THAT STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES!
