  1. @zach wot? Why are you talking about a text editor?

  2. @derps It was a matter of 'rules' (lowercase 'r') versus 'Rules' (capital 'R'). I fixed it so either will work now.

  3. CONGRATULATIONS @colfax AND @MrDragon. You are now Administrators. You are tasked with enforcing the site rules ( http://rainbowdash.net/doc/Rules ). And may Celestia have mercy on your souls.

  4. @ponydude2143 You have your rules. http://rainbowdash.net/doc/rules ; linked to from the site header too.

    Saturday, 12-Nov-11 15:47:50 UTC from web in context
  5. Okay. We now have an official RULES document, linked to from the site header. http://rainbowdash.net/doc/rules

  6. @remembernovember You got it. I'm having @cabal set up a DNS entry for 'dark.rainbowdash.net' and you'll have your free-for-all RDN subsite soon. If the RPers can get one, why not?

  7. @mrn4rmn4rm Frankly, what bothered me the most was when someone called me a 'compulsive liar'. That stings.

  8. @derps Maybe you're stalking me.

  9. I feel I need to clarify a couple things about my role on this site. [1] I am NOT an enforcer of rules. I do my best to avoid that. I'm a systems administrator, and I pay the bills. Period. You want enforcers, I'll have a list of them on the new 'Help!' page at the top which will list moderators and admins. [2] I'm sorry if I sometimes seem like an absentee landlord. The fact is that I CAN'T spend all my time on here. I have a full-time job, run BroNYCon and the Bronies-NYC meetups, and have a side job to boot. I am a very, very busy pony.

  10. @colfax Thanks.

  11. @purpletinker Okay, I'll post the link on the HEADER. Screw this 'Connect' link; nopony ever uses it.

  12. @ceruleanspark Well, you aren't supposed to RP in public. Maybe @elind85 didn't know that. I'll let her know.

  13. Seeking a programmer w' PHP experience to implement a censor plugin for StatusNet so that we can finally lift the 'no swearing' rule. (I'd do it myself, but I haven't the time.)

    Saturday, 12-Nov-11 15:19:54 UTC from web in context
  14. @colfax I never set out to be an enforcer of rules. I left that task to @elind85. I'm a techie. I tinker with the system when things are broken, and I pay the bills. I run upgrades and backups. I'm not an enforcer; I don't want to be. If @elind85 doesn't feel up to her task, I can assign somepony else. For now, looks like I will be assigning MrDragon as an all-around admin, so that he can hopefully make you guys happy. I'm also editing the rules document you guys suggested and posting it on the site, linked to from the FOOTER.

  15. @colfax Yes, the email issue I DO take responsibility for. Running BroNYCon keeps me very busy, but I will look into it. Do me a favour and re-forward me the email about this problem so that it will be at the top of my mailbox, staring at me, until I fix the problem.

    Saturday, 12-Nov-11 15:15:34 UTC from web in context
  16. @abigpony I am a compulsive liar?

    Saturday, 12-Nov-11 15:14:45 UTC from web in context
  17. @remembernovember FWIW, I didn't implement the 'no cursing' thing. It's a rule I inherited when I took over from Cabal. And it's a rule I intend to lift, once an appropriate censor plugin for those who WISH to see things censored is in place.

    Saturday, 12-Nov-11 15:12:31 UTC from web in context
  18. @colfax For the record, I'm not in charge of enforcing rules. I'm a techie. @elind85 is in charge of rules. If she doesn't feel up to this task, I can assign another, trusted moderator. But for now, she's the one to bother, not me.

  19. @cabal Got a bunch of Occupy Wall St pins today. Including one for you: http://purpletinker.com/images/anon-pin.jpg

  23. @metal Dude, you shouldn't have posted that publically here. That was a really bad idea. I'll email her, but you really should consider deleting your post.

  24. @redenchilada NOT STALKERISH AT ALL ;)

  25. @redenchilada I enter the codes on Coke bottlecaps for MyCokeRewards points. If I ever win a prize, it'll probably end up a BroNYCon prize.

  26. @redenchilada I'm running a convention for PONIES. OF COURSE I'm crazy! (Oatmeal just makes me CRAZIER.)

  27. I think I broke USPS with this poster mailout. http://purpletinker.com/images/hugereceipt.jpg

  28. @metal I'd love to explain what this 'brony' stuff is to your mom. It wouldn't be the first time I've talked to a parent. (Boy, it's weird being the Den Mother for thousands of bronies.)

  29. Dear guy who just called me: When I ask you to "shoot me an email" and specifically say that I prefer email to phone calls, DON'T ASK ME TO CALL YOU.

  30. @punbot In a world full of paranoid parents, it can be a real liability.
