Self appointed forum mods....

I can't speak for anyone else but whenever I point to another thread, or quote myself because I already answered it before, that link or quote comes straight from "advanced search".

If I can find the link or the quote in search, so could the OP, and in far less time than it would take them to type their post to begin with. They wouldn't have to wait for an answer either, it would be right there.

One point that doesn't seem to be addressed about directing people to the proper forum: there are a whole lot of people who stick to a sub-category they're interested in and never bother with RA and they're usually the people you'd want an answer from because they're well-informed or knowledgable about that specfic sub-category.

And posting in the proper forum also means that those people who do actually bother to use search can benefit from the proposed solution. If a building question is answered in RA, you loose that answer when you search and restrict only to the building forum to get better results.

yes thread derailing something you dont like said...thats the sort of thing well demonstrated

perhaps there should be fewers forums them. I ask questions this is an answers forum. Purportedly.

Tell me more about this "search" thingy that you are speaking of.

And while you are at it, please tell me the difference between mainland and estates, where to find first land, how your sales are doing and if SL relationships are cheating.

Ironically, this from one of the biggest flamers/trollers on the forum. Even more so than me!

My derail casts no judgement on your OP. I'm just working out my comedy bits for when the writer's strike ends.

Yes, yes, it's a great sadness in my life...and here you come along to mock my affliction. *sniffle*



A) Ve haf our vays...

B) Find Monica?

C) Trout claims that pic still only makes me kinda slutty.

D) C'mere

Please don't encourage the troll.

well I hope youre not one of the ones demanding a pay rise....

Probably sarcastic, but since people seem to have trouble .

Advanced Search: /invalid_link.html

Pick the forum you want to restrict the search to (or Ctrl-click to select multiple), then set "Show Results as" to "Posts" to see a portion of each result which helps to decide whether a thread has the answer or just happens to have the words you searched for in it randomly.

Writers strike! pfffft

Surely the point of a strike is to gain public sympathy inorder to apply pressure on an employer to cave into a union's demands. I can see why train drivers, nurses and teachers can get away with it - people who provide a public service are inevitably going to get sympathy - but Hollywood writers? Is there any profession that the pubic care less about?

did not read past the first few posts but did see a comment about how strife was the only mod

did anyone ever look at the bottom of the page, there are a few mods....
not the bottoms of the thread page, the bottom of the forum page (for each forum within the forums)

the only *active* mod I should've said

In honor of all the Cat girls who warm our hearts and excite our imaginations.

SEOUL (AFP) — South Korean scientists have cloned cats by manipulating a fluorescent protein gene, a procedure which could help develop treatments for human genetic diseases, officials said Wednesday.

In a side-effect, the cloned cats glow in the dark when exposed to ultraviolet beams.

I didnt think he was anymore....

and not even gonna be that soon (if not already gone)



how does one apply to be a mod?

thats okay chris you didnt need to demonstrate AGAIN that you can get away with posting any old crap in a thread unscathed

vacation atm, and will be replaced by a Linden till he's back

but other than him, the most recent resmod action was the 23rd, and before that it was in 2006. The other 'active' one hasn't done anything since september

Yes, there are several mods. The others keep largely to themselves though and stay out of mischief.

did I mention the term forum cartel and clique in the same breath... ?

Quoting yourself is bad form, old chap.

Maybe I'm naive, but no, I think you're sincere. And I'd even go so far as to guess that you're trying to improve things here. But:When I first posted on Resident Answers, I adopted a tone that fit that of the most "popular" threads: kinda snide, kinda combative, pretty negative. It seemed like just how things got said around here.

This did a fine job of getting replies. But it was breathtakingly ineffective at getting my point across. Then I remembered the first rule of PR-speak: "Communication has nothing to do with expressing what you mean, and everything to do with getting the audience to do what you want." (Now I'm on a self-administered 12-step Program to Positive Posting. Every day, in every way, etc.)

So I guess, to paraphrase Nika, "Prozac is your friend."

wow if Id realised it got me into 'bed' Id have left the mistake unrectified
