If someone bought land near Elle's house in world and put up impeach bush signs, would it be a forum violation?

I have to say I'm puzzled, but am likely just not getting the running joke (I can be pretty dense at times). In case you were serious, I know full well they can stop me at any point they choose.Indeed they have and could do so permanently if they so desire. There comes a time when one's sensabilities bump up against the rules and one or the other has to has to suffer. My purpose isn't to harm, it is to point out an inherently, irredeemably flawed endeavor. As they say: that and five bucks will get you a cupa' joe. Introvert, There was a thread yesterday about shit-stabbing, meaning someone's toilet had backed up and they needed to break up some pieces so they could get to work fixing the problem. I have just noticed that one particular resmod is all about thier job suddenly and stuff is getting moved. The cursing was just me being a pain in the ass about PG forums. It was a serious/trollish post. I really was trying to figure out the motivation behind the sudden flurry of Mod'ing. And I think it is a mixture of them saying, 'Screw you, I can mod if I want." and also just being a pain in the ass because they have that ability to move stuff. I hope that cleared it up. |

I am amazed at both the passion and number of posts in this thread. I also feel that some of the comments are rather sad and, tell more about the authors than they realize. As a former moderator on a mostly female chat site, I can identify with the position of a moderator. It can be a thankless job.
As a teacher in RL, I often have to deal with parents. The worst ones are the stay-at-home-moms, whose lives revolve around their children. This is especially true if she happens to have a degree in education. Somehow, that automatically infers upon her the knowledge of what needs to be done to make the school perfect. I normally don’t bother to read threads such as this one. However, this was in the volunteer forum and I am a volunteer. I was amazed at how this thread reminds me of those mothers, I mentioned above. Moderators are human. There are good ones and bad ones. I think it take a lot of tact to be a good moderator. Sometimes, humans just don’t have the energy to be tactful and, sometimes we just aren’t tactful. However, it has been my experience that most people do try to do what is right, most of the time. I have been in SL for six months. During that time I have gone in-world practically every day. So, I guess you can say I am a certified addict. I have not been around long enough to talk about “the old days when…” However, I have been around long enough to quit putting boxes on my head. I have had disagreements with vendors. In every case but one, I have been able to resolve it to some sort of compromise. The one vendor that refused to work with me well, I no longer do business with her. So, I think it is with Linden and the Res Mods. We all need to recognize that they have other things to deal with than just our complaint. Sometimes the big picture does not include our problem. If you have a problem, try to find a common ground. If you can’t find a compromise and, “they” won’t budge; then you need to either move on with your SL life or quit SL. Those are your two options. To continually whine and moan in here makes you sound like some who is convinced that you are really Phil Linden. You were accidentally switched at birth and now no one believes you. Please, step back for a moment and read what you wrote out loud to see how others hear it. Filling the forums with “she was mean to me” comments, makes you sound to others like the first graders I work with every day. At least they are acting their age. Jen |

He doesn't like being called Phil, last I heard. ![]() As a teacher in RL, You're a teacher? I am shocked and amazed. I never would have guessed you lecture children on a daily basis. _____________________

Your lack of historical context and condescending insults work against your argument. In short, you have absolutely no idea of which you speak and none of your experiences elsewhere are applicable. I need to hotkey this statement. _____________________

IMO only Lindens should be mods that can move, edit, ban, lock, delete, whatever to the threads.
Only time a *player* should be able to mod is if the mod is there only to answer guestions or point the poster in the right direction for answers. Sort of a *game councelor or game master* (in other words someone with great knowledge of the game as well as people skills and writing skills, Torley is a good example of someone like that). And make a section in the forum called Rants, you know the place to have threads that start out "Damn I am so pissed" and warn people that anything goes while in there. _____________________

Sorry but I couldn't resist responding to this thread.
Why would you choose to ignore resmods? Why would anyone decide to deliberately ignore any individual sanctioned by Linden Lab whose job it is to preserve the integrity of the forums we utilize? These people have volunteered to offer us assistance, further organize the boards for easier navigation (I'm guilty of placing posts in the wrong categories) and ensuring that things remain appropriate by the common standard. We should be thanking them for extending themselves. They're here to help, not to harm. Why would you ignore them? _____________________

You mean aside from the loss of complete anonymity when abuse reporting, editting by resmods for unsanctioned reasons, racist stirring resmods, being pushed into a system without your consent, amongst other issues..oh and the fact they are just residents. Not Lindens. that -is- what you mean, right? |

My response was to no one in particular, just my thoughts on the topic.

Not Lindens. that -is- what you mean, right? ARs are COMPLETELY anonymous.. how is this a loss? the only way we know who sends them is if someone signs their AR or uses tell-tale signs.. and even then it's questionable. i mena, anyone could sign anyone else's name and weriting style isn't so easily gathered when it could be anynoe who uses the forums. the editing was a flub and that ResMod left the program. racist stirrings? are you talking about "the watermelon incident"? that wasn't racist, nor was it done by a ResMod.. it was a Linden. you are right that you weren't given a choice whether or not to be part of this program, in that respect there is a discrepency, but we're tryint o all get along through this. if it doesn't work, then it gets scrapped, in the meantime we're trying to help the community, not hinder it. yes, we are just residents, residents who care enough about this world and these forums to give freely of our own time in an attempt to make a positive change. _____________________

bladyblue is a Linden now? No, the watermelon incident was a RESMOD playing a VICTIM card to an innocent statement.
I only want my ARs read by Lindens. THATS complete anonymity. You -are- hindering the community. A positive impact would be to scrap the resmod program. Hire interns. Hire more Lindens. if you aren't a Linden dont touch my threads and don't read my ARs. |

it's kinda hard to ignore resmod when they move your threads around for bad reasons.

clarification..
03-03-2006 17:21
ok, my bad.. i didn't know you were talking about bladyblue, who isn't a Linden, nor a ResMod. so, even still.. no ResMod involvement.
as for your ARs, i'm sorry i can't comply with your request. because.. i don't know which ones are yours.. so, i wouldn't know which ones to ignore. if i could, i would though. _____________________
