  1. As a mod, I won't be modding anything, so feel free to remove the privilege from my account please. I just want to come on here and have fun and not worry about this political malarkey.

    1. @drewdle Why do we burn out all our mods? You ponies seem to have it unusually rough.

      1. @eaglehooves Being a mod is hard in the same way that being a cop is hard. You have to do things that might well make you unpopular with your friends to uphold your duty. Cops burn out just as fast.

        1. @ceruleanspark I just wish it had some perks, like being able to order one of you to come over here and clean my apartment or something.

          1. @colfax I bet @jinny would love to clean your house. He's got an outfit and everything.

            1. @ceruleanspark @colfax This is true, I do love to clean. :3 I'm adept at the household arts. :3

                1. @theawesomepony Sure I did, I said, something about that being really awesome, and Fluttershy girl sounds like she would have been fun to see in person.

            2. @ceruleanspark @jinny Yeah... I don't think so.

              Monday, 31-Oct-11 17:00:18 UTC from web
              1. @colfax Awww...hehe. I'm really good at it. :3

                Monday, 31-Oct-11 17:01:56 UTC from web
              2. @colfax You don't get to pick and choose your perks!

                Monday, 31-Oct-11 17:07:09 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
        2. @ceruleanspark Yea, just wouldn't have expected that on a pony site.

          Monday, 31-Oct-11 16:57:23 UTC from web
          1. @eaglehooves Pony fans aren't the saints people insist on making them out to be. As a group, we have just as many deviants and rulebreakers as any other arbitrary group of people.

            Monday, 31-Oct-11 16:59:29 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
            1. @ceruleanspark I know, it's just that on the surface it looks a lot nicer. Other places one glance can tell you it's going to get ugly, and to brace for the worst, but RDN not so much.

              Monday, 31-Oct-11 17:02:07 UTC from web
        3. @ceruleanspark Indeed. Depending upon the team/squad you're on, there's an 18-24 month rotation, in order to try to prevent burn-out. Unfortunately, when you're in a position where you tend to have to deal with some of the worst of humanity on a day-to-day basis, even the best start to get affected by it. Perhaps something similar needs to be implemented here as well (though, obviously, on a shorter rotation schedule, since 18-24 months is an eternity online).

          1. @astra Well, the entrance exams to become a mod are much less comprehensive than the ones for becoming a cop too. Not everyone has the personality to be an emotionless enforcer of justice all the time.

            Monday, 31-Oct-11 17:32:01 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
            1. @ceruleanspark Mmm, true. I can imagine that the background check is a lot less invasive as well.

              1. @astra Thankfully no cavity search.

                Monday, 31-Oct-11 17:34:35 UTC from web
    2. @drewdle So long, 9859.

      Monday, 31-Oct-11 16:52:21 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
      1. @ceruleanspark I'm not leaving. I'm just going to forget that I'm a mod. Certainly can't be banned for that.

        Monday, 31-Oct-11 16:53:52 UTC from web
        1. @drewdle Yeah, but by resigning, you've killed the persona of secret moderator 9859.

          Monday, 31-Oct-11 16:54:58 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
    3. @drewdle ...no comment...

        Monday, 31-Oct-11 16:54:01 UTC from web
    5. @drewdle Then next time do NOT go behind other moderators backs, as well as use one as a reference for something they did not do. I don't like being placed in to a message stating that I had a part in something which I did not. We stated that the final warnings had been given and myself and Colfax had the situation in our hooves about it. if it happened again, then judgement would be given for what the community asked for. But instead you went behind us, you did actions and then used me as a point of contact for it when I had nothing to do with it. It's going to take a very long time for me to trust you again, if ever. Enjoy your time at school, and have fun.
