New ResMods

Hell. If you CAN edit others post, you might as well.

there's alot of feed back here... in theory ll is looking for feed back at this thread:

/274/49/88141/1.html

if you really want a response from ll, maybe you'll get better reception there.

Good speling is important but please keep this thread on-topic.

Additionally, there's also a new ResMod forum planned soon in the SL Volunteers & Education section.

It is on topic - the topic is the New Resmods, and Lecks and my posts are about narky PM's they are sending.

The thread was off topic from the start, taken at face value it should be about people saying welcome to the resmods, and the resmods answering the questions posed in the original post.

The threadstarter was not sincere in making a simple welcoming statement, though; there was a point to including the phrase "who were ushered into the community without a peep from the community team" in the opening post. This was a not very well veiled comment about the way the way the community team handled the transition of resmods.

Just a few posts later, the threadstarter said "
But be warned, they seem to select a tiny % of their Resident Moderators from the people who apply. From what I can see on this list, Strife Onizuka was the only person who signed up."

This is quite obviously a thread started in bad faith, not at all a sincere welcome to the the new volunteers, but instead a complaint about the resident moderator program's existence in general and the specific way it is being carried out.

It should come as no surprise that the thread has little in the way of welcome to the new volunteers since no sincere welcome was intended by the threadstarter.

It's good to hear that there will be a special forum for threads on this topic.

New resmods shouldn't be welcomed

there should be no resmods

Sharing means caring.

As for ya'll or y'all, as the saying goes: You say tomato and I say fuck you.

Nice one.

Where is this bitchy PM? We want to see it!

No no no no no. It's spelled this way: ",,,,, you."

coco

Sorry Torley, I just had to hehe *gives you a watermelon*

I think they're confused... or I am

Which is it Leck & Notorious S.I.G. - PMS or PM's?

ya' know? just when has a thread gone off topic?

the problem with saying a forum-thread has gone off-topic just because the last few posts have been "off-topic" misses the point that threads become multi-threaded (they just don't get marked as separate threads).

closing a thread (or threatening action against a thread) just because some of the multiple threads have gone "off topic" is stupid.

Holy BUMPAGE!

Who cares about Resmods anyway!?

This thread is now about a number! A BIG FREAKING NUMBER!!

Keep viewing this thread everybiody. Aimee needs your support. She's surgically wired the viewing count directly up to her ego.

Please! Save teh Aimee!








Aimz. Don't you dare come beat me up in IM! I'm kidding girl!!

you-all (yôl) also y'all (yôl)
pron. Chiefly Southern U.S.

You. Used in addressing two or more people or referring to two or more people, one of whom is addressed.

Regional Note: The single most famous feature of Southern United States dialects is the pronoun y'all, sometimes heard in its variant you-all. You-all functions with perfect grammatical regularity as a second person plural pronoun, taking its own possessive you-all's (or less frequently, your-all's, where both parts of the word are inflected for possession): You-all's voices sound alike. Southerners do not, as is sometimes believed, use you-all or y'all for both singular and plural you. A single person may only be addressed as you-all if the speaker implies in the reference other persons not present: Did you-all [you and others] have dinner yet? You and you-all preserve the singular/plural distinction that English used to have in thou and ye, the subject forms of singular and plural you, respectively (thee and you were the singular and plural object forms). The distinction between singular thou/thee and plural ye/you began to blur as early as the 13th century, when the plural form was often used for the singular in formal contexts or to indicate politeness, much as the French use tu for singular and familiar “you,” and vous for both plural and polite singular “you.” In English, the object form you gradually came to be used in subject position as well, so that the four forms thou, thee, ye, and you collapsed into one form, you. Thou and thee were quite rare in educated speech in the 16th century, and they disappeared completely from standard English in the 18th. However, the distinction between singular and plural you is just as useful as that between other singular and plural pronoun forms, such as I and we. In addition to y'all, other forms for plural you include you-uns, youse, and you guys or youse guys. Youse is common in vernacular varieties in the Northeast, particularly in large cities such as New York and Boston, and is also common in Irish English. You-uns is found in western Pennsylvania and in the Appalachians and probably reflects the Scotch-Irish roots of many European settlers to these regions. You guys and youse guys appear to be newer innovations than the other dialectal forms of plural you. See note at you-uns.

I lived in the South for a long time, and I am trying to remember if I heard anyone use it "y'all" in the singular. I have a faint memory of a guy from Pensacola who did (I think - but it's pretty hazy - it was many moons ago, and let's just say I liked my mind altering chems back then...)

At any rate, even if he did, oh well, language, as we see in usage notes above, and as Stoneself has pointed out, is ever changing.

As far as the stuff about "Yankees" being responsible, I think that's about as far off track as one can get...

Take note... *I* wasn't the one doing the bumping!

And, ooooh yes ... Your fate awaits you, Mister Statosky.

What about Miss Statosky?

Dude, ya'll gonna piss off the great purple one !!

I'm not pissed off...carry on

this thread is closed due to Off Topic discussion and is being submitted for Linden Review.

Thanks for the watermelon, Zsu--it helps me to correct my "speling" from earlier to "spelling", and with continued discussion of that in this thread, I can be confident this is clearly Off-Topic. As such, it's been moved.

Get your spelling bees on!
