List of Moderation Changes- A Proposal for an Experiment.

16:09 / 20.10.03

Okayed sp. correction for Saveloy. Okayed duplicate thread deletion in Magick for cusm.

Is anyone other than the moderators actually reading this anymore? More to the point, if I wrapped this mouse cable round my neck really tight, could I strangle myself?

16:22 / 20.10.03

Nah, you lose your grip on the cable when you pass out. Okayed adding stuff to a thing in the Gathering for BiP.

Hey, what if I tied the end round this chairleg?

19:26 / 20.10.03

Okayed additional info in Gathering post.

21:51 / 20.10.03

Is anyone other than the moderators actually reading this anymore?

My sentiments exactly.

23:21 / 20.10.03

Just agreed a request to alter a post in the "Roll Call" thread, but it appears someone else had already agreed it so it had already been actioned, even though "action" is not a verb, it's a noun, and OHMYGODMAKEITSTOPMAKEITSTOP!

23:27 / 20.10.03

Agreed an add stuff to post type request by Duncan Falconer. Agreed to lock a duplicate topic for E. Randy Dupre. Experienced new depths of ennui, a sense of meaninglessness so profound it borders on sartori.

23:30 / 20.10.03

Fixed post for Flux. God, is there another day to go? Will this week never end? I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total oblivion...

Mazarine

23:51 / 20.10.03

Agreed to lock LXG? thread in FTVT.

01:55 / 21.10.03

Agreed a spelling correction request from, I think, Bio K9.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm just off to slam my testicles repeatedly in the fridge door.

Ah, that's better. Fortunately, I had finished just in time to agree a request from Trix to change a linky thingumajig. Cos I wouldn't want to have missed the opportunity to tell you all about that.

Is anyone other than the moderators actually reading this anymore?

Call me sad, but I am.

And actually I think it's a relatively sensible idea because it has a time limit and therefore there is an end in sight. For one thing, excruciatingly dull as it appears to be, it does mean that anyone can see exactly what has happened to something they posted which may have been moderated and for another, as a trust exercise it's achieving what it set out to do. Also (and far more importantly) it's providing hours of entertainment for me watching you all moaning about the tedium of doing it. Hee hee.

10:09 / 21.10.03

Don't blame me, I said they could stop and go back to wanking...

10:10 / 21.10.03

Yesterday I accidentally agreed to Magus about deleting his first post from his Conversation Apology thread, so then I proposed deleting the whole thread as well.

cusm

13:36 / 21.10.03

Oh fine, but only because this is the first mod actions I've taken in 2 days.

Agreed to move and modify Teeside University thread to the Gathering for MC.

13:45 / 21.10.03

Agreed a double post delete for Billy Corgan. Gnawed skin off three knuckles.

15:16 / 21.10.03

Agreed self-moderation by Flyboy and Humble Pi, and okayed a HTML fix for in Books for Kit-Cat Club.

17:06 / 21.10.03

Did a few things yesterday, but I forgot what. All tidying stuff, I think -- agreeing to others' proposals, probably. I dunno.

Today, I bumped up one of my old threads, then edited the abstract (which I need to do again - it's too freakin' long) and the first post.

So that's two actions.

17:08 / 21.10.03

OK, just nominated the prior post for deletion because it's a duplicate. Go figure.

17:10 / 21.10.03

Just helped Suedehead spell "doggy doo" correctly. Because this is an intellectual board, where we discuss cutting edge things.

cusm

18:31 / 21.10.03

Approved Grants deletion from this thread, carefully dodged recursive wormhole opened in space-time from considering that action.

Murray Hamhandler

19:01 / 21.10.03

This could get tedious...

I fixed some HTML the other day. And I deleted a triple post that I accidentally sent. Ummm...let me think. Oh. There was that one time a couple days ago when the other Comics moderators and I got together and subtly changed the wording in every Comics post from the last month or so to reflect widespread popular support for the Comics Mod Revolutionary Front. But other than that, nothing much.

Seriously, though. I do very minimal pruning in Comics, and usually only at the behest of the poster.

19:56 / 21.10.03

Fixed topic abstract for Flux. "Accidently" knocked coffee into grant's lap.

20:26 / 21.10.03

Approved MC's request to remove HTML from some Magick topic abstract. Looked her in the eyes and said, "Well, I guess I have to get out of these pants. Do you have anything I can change into?"

Our Lady of The Two Towers

21:12 / 21.10.03

Approved Mordant's request to remove HTML tags from the same topic's title.

Approved Todd's request to delete his own (mistaken) post about some white stripes gig.

ONLY NICE THINGS

21:45 / 21.10.03

Approved the same White Stripes edit, and the same post-HTML correction in the two wacky Magick titles.

Oh, and made my own weight in approvals to post deletions and thread deletions from AMagus and moderators over the weekend.

Mazarine

22:37 / 21.10.03

Agreed to three requests by two posters to fix typos, spacing.

Mazarine

00:58 / 22.10.03

Two more typo/miswording agreements.

w1rebaby

03:44 / 22.10.03

I'd like to add a vote for "I think this is a pointless and silly idea" since I don't seem to have before, but that's all.

11:36 / 22.10.03

I've suggested removing a double-post from the notebooks thread, okayed a edit request from Chol and Xoc needed help talking filthy in another thread.

15:38 / 22.10.03

Helped Randy add an angle bracket, helped Cholister pluralize "address". Then appeared at the bathroom door wearing a towel wrapped around my waist, under my shirt, holding up my coffeestained paints in one hand.

15:40 / 22.10.03

Suggested adding "in one hand" to the end of above post.

cusm

16:09 / 22.10.03

Approved Grant's request, considered also submitting a mod request for this reply, but too afraid of the wormhole swallowing me to do so.

Spatula Clarke

16:45 / 22.10.03

Heh. Now we see my true reason for objecting to this thread - because the vast majority of moderation actions seem to happen because of me.

Other than putting pretty much everything I post up for moderation (adding things, fixing typos, rephrasing stuff that I'm worried will get misinterpreted, etc.) and the usual typo fixes, spelling fixes and double post deletions, the only major action I've performed recently has been to lock waxy dan's LXG thread in TV, Films & Theatre as we've already got one, then deleting it after he PMed me to say that he'd got the link to the other thread from my post.

17:48 / 22.10.03

Okay, the weeks up. You've all had your SICK FUN. I'm not playing anymore.

*Sweeps out, pausing only to "accidently" knock a pot of really really scalding fucking hot this time coffee over grant*
