Kiki's Moderation

Betty Wright64 said:@ Nicole Morales3, consider yourself lucky you didn't get slapped with a ban for breaking the sub-forum rules. It was made clear a long time ago: if you want to talk about moderation, don't drag it into a PDF thread like this—take it to the PZK.
Despite being warned, you just ignore it and keep opening threads just to be difficult.
As for TT, she hasn't earned a single strike with anything she's posted. When she actually deserves one, she'll get it.
Just because some "Great Americans" DON'T LIKE her rants on the Belgrade thread, or they hate her theories regarding American linguistic history, doesn't give me any reason to hand out a ban.

That's all from me.

Look, I honestly thought we could handle this like adults—all I wanted was some clarity and an objective take. You really shouldn't have dragged this elsewhere. And seriously, chill out with the "Great Americans" stuff. That term isn't even an insult except in your head and within the world of TT. Besides, what TT writes isn't "theory," it's just straight-up trolling.

I'm kind of wondering where Aaron Garcia36 went?

As for Steven Ruiz, I couldn't care less—it's like being indifferent to a plate of pork trotters on a sweltering summer day...☕

I honestly don't get why she doesn't just step down from moderating if 90% of the people posting in this thread think she's 👎.

Carl Smith92 said:Look, I honestly thought we could just handle this like adults one-on-one—all I ever wanted from you was some clarity and an objective perspective. There really wasn't any need to drag this whole thing out to the public eye. And maybe try to dial back the drama regarding those "Great Americans"... that term isn't even meant to be an insult unless you or certain people on this site decide it is. Besides, what people are saying here isn't some grand theory, it's mostly just good-natured teasing...

Nicole Morales3, I truly value you as a member of this community, and I really believe we can settle our differences privately...
You asked your question in that thread and you received an answer, but the issue seems to be that you didn't like the response you got. I simply can't ban someone just because their political or ideological views differ from the majority. I do agree that the detour into language issues was off-topic, which is why I issued a warning. After that, the discussion about regional dialects died down, and if it hadn't, posts would have been removed or users banned for staying off-topic...

I also specifically asked you to send any questions regarding moderation either to me via private message or by starting a thread over at the PZK section. Despite that, you went ahead and posted it in the Diaspora section instead. I honestly don't understand why you're being so stubborn and ignoring the basic rules of the road...

You probably have some specific reason for posting this, so come on, enlighten us.

slydrifter39 used to be my sub-moderator back in the day when I was active with the Diaspora...
Actually, if my memory serves me right, that whole PDF initiative was actually sparked by our own efforts...
And it always seemed like those users over in Canada were the ones causing all the "trouble"... 😬 😍

vividgull17 said:😂That guy just can't help himself—he's got to jump in and give an answer.😂 Give me a break, why don't you just crawl even deeper into your hole?😁

So this is some new symptom of delirium tremens where you start seeing nothing but those guys instead of actual white mice, huh?😁

If I were actually sober, I'd be able to show you how much irony was actually involved here.

Dana Hill73 said:That new symptom called delirium tremens is pretty weird—where you start seeing people from the North America instead of actual white people, huh? 😁

If anyone were actually sober, they’d realize how much I was being ironic.

I don't trust them. They've got that red, white, and blue signature.

To me, it just screams:



🙂

Well, looks like I've started getting penalized points from behind now. Way to go, Steven Ruiz.

slydrifter39 said:I don't trust him. He’s got that red, white, and blue signature going on.

Personally, that just makes me think of:



🙂

:LOL: Don't act like you're some saint, you nutcase. You fled before the war and crawled back after it was over. 😱The people over there did the exact same thing you did. 😁

It's way too easy to play the hero on the internet, you hypocrite.😁

Carl Smith92 said:Well, look at that—I’ve actually started picking up some penalty points lately. Way to go, Steven Ruiz.

😂 You basically have to kiss her ass to get anything out of her, but you’re just not built that way—you’re married to your own pride while she totally sold herself out. 😁 Don't you see? 😁 You two don't have a single thing in common.🥳

😉

Actually—if my memory isn't totally failing me—it was actually our own initiative that got that PDF thing started.
And the "problematic" ones? Always the users from Canada. 😬 😍

Those folks from Canada aren't exactly spinning in circles... 😁for people who love being two-faced, calling them "problematic" is just convenient, isn't it, dear?😁

Greetings, sir.

Aaron Garcia36 is right here; I was away for a bit and just couldn't get onto the Forum.

Nicole Chase said:I don't get why she doesn't just quit moderating if 90% of the people posting on this site think she's 👎.

And what kind of scientific method did you use to come up with those shocking statistics?
There are maybe fifteen posts here calling for Steven Ruiz's head. 90%? Yeah, right.
Anyone who disagrees gets immediately labeled a weirdo, a Guzolizac, or a total suck-up. Real original stuff, though they never actually have an argument.
The loudest ones calling for blood are usually the types who either never read the Forum rules or read them so long ago they need a refresher course.
Now I guess I'll follow tradition and be lumped in with the suck-ups obsessed with Kiki's rear end, but honestly, I couldn't care less. I'm not for her or against her. She's just doing a job that nobody would want, dealing with constant crap and probably getting paid peanuts—if she even gets paid at all.

I'm done. I've had it.
