Can we change the name to Freddie Mercury
PLiz?

Nah, it’s not even close to what it is now.

It’s got a much more natural flavor—really hits that sweet spot. I don't know how else to put it—it tastes like actual vanilla.

Same here—I've got a massive sweet tooth. I stick to strawberry, though. Does anyone know if they have anything more exotic available? If so, drop a link please. haha

What kind of spineless people are you guys? (not talking about Sasha, obviously)—seriously, just start a thread dedicated to trashing the admin already. I couldn't stand being around you lot—this whole thing feels like a straight-up insult to the admin.

Yeah 🙂, just tell me what needs doing and I'll get on it—friendships are meant to be built, not tossed aside. If anyone's looking for that specific vibe, hit me up 🙂
xDDD

How long did it take you guys to cook this one up—did you actually break a sweat?

And why the discrimination against us regular forum users? We want our little slice of the pie too. 👋

Whatever. 😬

Actually, I'm working on something pretty cool for all the regular members right now 🙂

Look, folks, that would only apply to admins, mods, and sub-mods—and by the way, instead of those letters, it would just say "moderator" or "registered user." It wouldn't allow for anything else besides "mod" or whatever you guys have already decided.

Here are some concepts for admin, mod, and super-mod badges:

We can implement these if you're interested—my buddy Gunster and I cooked them up;

1. mod:

2. super mod:

3. admin:

Hope you dig them, wanderinglynx85.

Everything is fine with me.

I’ve definitely lost my cool more than a few times myself.
In my relatively short time hanging out on these boards, I’ve felt that flash of anger toward certain moderators—just because they let their own human flaws get in the way of things.

But so what?!!!

I used to sit there thinking, "What on earth is wrong with this moderator?" Is he just totally out of touch with reality?!

Anyway... more to come...

Look, I get it. By the next morning, the irritation over some random ban for "spamming," trolling, flame wars, or whatever other nonsense labels they throw around usually fades away. Those kinds of petty penalties just drive people away from communities like this.

What I’m actually trying to say is that the guy mentioned in the thread title is actually an emotionally mature individual. He deserves some credit. He doesn't just hand out mindless bans for trolling, spamming, or being slightly off-topic. Instead, he handles things with the composure of a real teacher—a grown-up. He issues warnings, people actually respect him, he gets intelligent humor, and he manages a huge crowd of active users without breaking a sweat... I shouldn't praise him too much, though.

Now, Ms. fairy isn't a bad person, but she really ought to spend more time over at Cocaine Nights.

But seriously, that guy is a rare breed of moderator. He has incredible self-control and he's honest—which I assume go hand in hand. He doesn't go off like some trigger-happy gunslinger with a chip on his shoulder just because nobody's shot him yet...

If that moderator ever decides to flag me, I'll know I actually messed up. I won't go crying to anyone about it. They're hard to find, those types...

If only he were my brother-in-law😁

The whole point of this thread is for the benefit of everyone—to educate the mods, the regular posters, and even the lurkers who just watch the chaos unfold.

It's a simple question, really;

I don't care about your opinion on who the "best" moderator is. What I want to know is how YOU feel when you get hit with a completely senseless penalty—something that, in the grand scheme of your actual life, means absolutely nothing!!!

As far as I'm concerned, the admins and mods are all good; it's just that the admins aren't online nearly as much.

So, who actually has the authority to greenlight new moderators? Is it just the mods or the senior staff, or is this strictly an admin thing?

maybe just warm water and vinegar ☕

Would you EVER give your cell number to a panhandler you just helped out (maybe gave them some cash or bought them something at a convenience store)?

Picture this: the person asks for your number so they can call you later to ask for more supplies—diapers, groceries, whatever—and wants to meet up in Chicago, even if you don't live anywhere near Chicago!

And then, being all soft-hearted and moved to tears, you actually give it to them... only to spend the next 15 minutes laughing at your own stupidity and realizing there were a million better ways to help without handing over your private info. Yeah... so, what do you guys think?

Yeah, no way in hell would I.
