The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

[RealAlHazred]

Asking some specific folks to comment "where [they] can be constructive" is somewhat akin to asking for snow in July in Phoenix.

I can’t believe I posted that.
Am I drunk?

Not yet, but you can fix that.

That just seems to be the internet: being right is always more fun than being helpful.

Scions? Really? When Druid and Elf Queen are both right there?

Well you gotta start somewhere, right? The whole Heritage of SHannara series is solid.

Humans are freakin' exhausting, sometimes.

I don't feel like mods get enough appreciation. Just by virtue of what they allow and don't allow on the platform dictates the BS that might flood the forums.

Holy crap we have actual bots! When did that happen?

You just reminded me to check on the motorcycle forum where I'm a mod, after being largely offline for the day. Come on "marketing-zipfox@xxxxx.com" with an IP in central India. You aren't even trying!

As someone who was a mod for a time, I will say I think it is harder than you know, and I resigned after I caught myself passing on regulating someone doing that skirting the line on purpose thing that has to be squashed one time too many because I was just too annoyed and exhausted to deal with it. I figured that was not fair to the other mods or good for the health of the boards, so I stepped down to let Morrus get someone else in. As it was, I was actually visiting the boards less and less at that point and coming here just b/c I got an email about a reported post was a lot less than fun.

I hear you. I've 'tried' to quite modding that motorcycle forum that I mentioned many times, over the last 20+ years. The attacks from people who don't like being called out on their BS resulted in a rule that any attack on a mod for doing their job, be it in a post or direct PM, is cause for instant and permanent ban.

And here is another holler out of frustration over that thing where you happen to agree with some people on a subject but their approach to discussing their preferences and their assumptions about its meaning is so dismissive of any other position and so hyperbolic and disingenuous in characterizing anything other than the preferred thing that I see no point in being associated with them and keep my preferences to myself.
