I feel like the mods here could at least be a bit cheerful and uplifting to the community instead of being the police.

@rarity Maybe if people weren't saying things like "You idiots need policing", we wouldn't need policing.

@fuzzypony Bearing in mind that we're always understaffed and I'm personally on edge because everything I do is scrutinized, I'm not going to be able to be cheerful or uplifting. That's sort of unrealistic.

@scoot Just wanted to let you know, I still respect you greatly. Yeah, so you do and say some things I don't agree with. Everyone does.
Thursday, 17-Oct-13 02:14:01 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation This is why, despite me disagreeing with you constantly, I still hold that you're completely alright and never hold anything against you.
Thursday, 17-Oct-13 02:15:05 UTC from web-
@scoot You know, it is ok to hold things against me. I don't hold grudges to people who deservedly hold grudges to me. Don't feel like you have to forgive everything I do, because I know it's difficult to. I also know that you're really stressed right now, so yes, you're going to make mistakes. We all do. It's what makes us human. As long as you own up to those mistakes, which you have thus far, you're cool by me.

@fuzzypony If moderators didn't moderate, then they wouldn't be moderaters, now would they
Thursday, 17-Oct-13 02:07:19 UTC from web-
@flamingpandaomg They could be nice teachers, not marshall Fluffle Puffing law
Thursday, 17-Oct-13 02:10:46 UTC from web-
@fuzzypony Nice teaching doesn't work 90% of the time. I could point out one massive example but that wouldn't be very nice of me.
Thursday, 17-Oct-13 02:11:26 UTC from web-
@flamingpandaomg Do it. But keep in mind that was a metaphor.
Thursday, 17-Oct-13 02:12:39 UTC from web-
@fuzzypony I'd like to add that when I tried to be a nice moderator nobody did anything I said and things actually got worse.
Thursday, 17-Oct-13 02:13:22 UTC from web-
@scoot Sounds like it would happen. But still hold the law, whilst being nice. I feel like this was told to you before, but I dunno. I'm trying to be helpful, not dissing your work as a mod here.

@fuzzypony All I'm saying is that people who are getting in trouble usually tend to not care when people are gently trying to tell them to cut it out, which then leads to needing a more strict action. Having this many people all together makes it impossible to have a community that doesn't require strict moderation at least a part of the time.
Thursday, 17-Oct-13 02:15:22 UTC from web-
@flamingpandaomg People should learn their privilages. Their limits, and once the rules are set, ease down.
Thursday, 17-Oct-13 02:16:54 UTC from web-
@fuzzypony That'd be great ideally. Realistically though, it'll never happen.
Thursday, 17-Oct-13 02:17:29 UTC from web-
@flamingpandaomg Why not put it to the test. Trust the network.
Thursday, 17-Oct-13 02:18:17 UTC from web-
Thursday, 17-Oct-13 02:18:44 UTC from web

@fuzzypony Because we have put trust in the network and it's always backfired.
Thursday, 17-Oct-13 02:18:51 UTC from web-
@flamingpandaomg I haven't seen that.

@fuzzypony Should yes, but they don't. You have to FORCE that into them for them to bleat the way they need to.

@fuzzypony It isn't negativity, it's honest truth. I'm not trying to down on RDN here, I'm saying this is the way things are

@scoot When was the last time, you ALL honestly tried to be friendly and supportive, whilst holding the law?

@rarity I'm not. I want this site to not be so negative about everything ever. No one trusts anyone here.
Thursday, 17-Oct-13 02:24:33 UTC from web-
@fuzzypony I don't think you've ever been around when RDN goes into total meltdown for a while.
Thursday, 17-Oct-13 02:25:14 UTC from web-
@flamingpandaomg Nope. Never.

@fuzzypony Me too. But sadly I don't live in that world. I live in the world where if I don't step in and make sure people behave, they bicker and argue and it's a huge kerfuffle.

@scoot WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T USE THE SAME TOOTHPASTE I DO?

@scoot @fuzzypony I don't think we're hopeless. So long as people like @awlderpy, @pony, @mushi, @vt3c, etc are here, we're going to be just find.
Thursday, 17-Oct-13 02:29:12 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation They should be mods.

@mrmattimation I screwed up with a post and I had an agreement with him not to burn down the site. Over time people undid what I archieved, but at the time I was pretty pleased with the results and didn't feel I was really needed anymore.

@fuzzypony I won't do anything about it as a civilian. I'm not powerless, but I won't do anything without the adminiship asking me to. I'm good enough taking care of my people and enjoying the site.

@fuzzypony No; you'd all be gone if I were a mod. Either I ban you or you leave on your own accord after dealing with my low tolerance.

@fuzzypony Awl might be a good mod though
Thursday, 17-Oct-13 02:31:32 UTC from web-
@nerthos Of course he would. He's my top choice for mod. He's one of the most honest people on the site.

@fuzzypony Most of those people will leave when drama begins, which is when mods need to be around. Otherwise I'm sure most of them would be highly considered if not mods already.

@mrmattimation That's very true.

@mrmattimation Neh, you'd just see how intolerant I really am.
Thursday, 17-Oct-13 02:35:06 UTC from web -
@mrmattimation this is true. I would change if I were a mod, but hopefully only for the better. It's hard being a mod.

@fuzzypony I think if anything that you're overanalyzing it. There's always people who're going to stick out and ruin things for others. It's just how people work.
Thursday, 17-Oct-13 02:26:51 UTC from web-
@flamingpandaomg But that's not how this started. I ask people not to be so negative.
Thursday, 17-Oct-13 02:28:04 UTC from web-
@fuzzypony Most of the time people aren't even being negative, they're being realistic. There's a huge difference.

Thursday, 17-Oct-13 02:23:32 UTC from web -
@fuzzypony Nah, not really. What that post means is that there's like only one or two people who won't get involved in crap.

@fuzzypony I'll be honest here. I've been on both sides and I know there's times when the only way to moderate is going gunslinger sheriff on everyone.
