I agree that her moderation style could be considered inflexible, and we were often not on the same page, but that doesn't change the fact that you were abusive towards her on countless occasions.

I was only being sarcastic in rebuttal towards her. Immature? probably. But she was not a good mod.

I like turtles.

 

[A6_Foul_Out]

I like tee turtles.

 

[Metallica]

also the higher ups on mtc sometimes felt like a clique.

I do have to agree to this, but I felt it more toward the "regular" people. There will always be a clique of some form, and really it doesn't bother me anymore. You're either in their group or you're just some random person they choose to ignore.

What I didn't and don't agree to is how the members of that cliche bullied people, either publicly in the work thread or hidden away somewhere in one of those social discussion threads. Nothing was done about it because, well, clique. It was really heartbreaking to see people so upset by it that they quit posting entirely, or just left in general. I reached out to a few of those people and their feelings were generally the same: people were treating others like shit and nothing was being done about it because those people were friendly with the mods.

Luckily most of the clique just died entirely and they took it somewhere more secret, like a discord room or something. Who knows. But I'll never understand why people feel the need to put someone else down for their own entertainment. On a turk forum of all places, for fuck sakes. Good riddance.

For what its worth I like all the mods and they are great people. I find me and aveline like to shitpost in Kerek's tag thread because it's fun to complain about problems and stuff. Jaded seems to be the main mod these days, always around to take care of any problems that seem to pop up. Even with the small member base I feel that shes kept it quite alive.

Honestly I do not feel like they facilitated the clique. This forum used to be popping 24/7. If anything, shit was too busy for them to notice if something like that was happening. Given that they are moderating out of their own will and without pay, I can't place the slightest of blame on them.

I don't mean to instigate something and I expect people to disagree with me, but for a while this place was nothing but unbearable. Not that I'm innocent or anything, I treated people like shit too and I'd like to think I'm generally more mellow these days. Depression and addiction withdrawal do a number on ya.

I understand this post is largely negative toward the forum, but it's in my mind often. You bringing up the topic brought back some memories, and I'm sure you know it's not good to keep emotions tucked away.

This concludes Metallica thoughts. Until next time!

I like turtles.

I don't but, since the turtles aren't here to defend themselves, I'lll not talk about them.

So i finished that $10 Neuroscape hit about 30 seconds after it expired *facepalms*. I just finished emailing the requestor, hopefully i hear back because thats probably the majority of what i would make on a day like today. I sent them the confirmation code, my workerid, the groupid of the job...i think i was pretty thorough.

 

[themildone]

I didn't know electrolyte wasn't a mod anymore :o

 

[mboone73]

There will always be a clique of some form,

I've never had a requester tell me no when I've had to do this, so I bet the odds are in your favor.

I'm okay with it as long as it's milk first. These odd people who put tea in first are posh and strange. Where are you from btw?

Also, hi.

I really kind of shy away from getting to really know people on these forums. I'm not the right personality type to be popular (and I don't care about that). I will tell you that most of the trouble that I've seen on these turking forums is behind the scenes in the chat rooms. Of course, some of the people are sweet, but there's always one nut who ends up in them and causes trouble. If that person has crawled down the throats of the people in charge of the site, that's a big problem.

The forum has kept me away from Facebook. I am really grateful to break the habit of logging in over there. . Stay away for a month, and the next time you login, you will be a lot more likely to spend less than 5 minutes before you say...this is why I don't login anymore.

Overall, it's nice noise, and nice people to talk to throughout the day about a variety of subjects. So with that, I appreciate the people here. Even the sticker/planner people.
