This is something I would like answered...

That'd be a question for the full-grown-senior-modling-types.  :D

Actually, we Bartenders can only lock or modify threads in the Bar.  Not in "Mac's" or any of the other sections like "Spoilers" and the like.  Outside that  http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/board,1.0.html , it's The Bigg'ns.

Except for Blaze, who lairs in the "I Made an Art" board, and myself in the FAQ boards.

Okay, first off, I know that while I'm not exactly new, I've also not built up a reputation like the others—which has led to some questioning why I was asked to bartend.  Which also means people aren't sure of my personality, or how I generally react to posts, PMs, etc.

Fair enough.

That being said, you don't know until you try.  In my earlier post, I recognized and apologized for a couple of my flaws—I'm only human, after all—and have given those some thought over the past couple days.

As to the specific and non-specific warning posts, there are a couple reasons, voiced by other mods, which I will [try to] reiterate here, for sake of clarity.  

For those posts that are general, seeming to be addressed to all posting in a thread:  1) There are a number of offenders, and the mod does not wish to call out all of them, 2) the topic of the thread has derailed to a Touchy Topic or otherwise, and 3) quips and gibes at other posters can be implied from comments.

1.  In these scenarios, it is up to the member to determine in their best judgment whether or not anything they said could be taken as over the line.  Such a judgment is not always black and white, yes and no; it is again up to the poster to determine if they are out of line, and if so, how far out of line they are.  If you are still unsure as to whether you were out of line, send the mod a PM asking if it was or not.

2.  In the one occasion I have had to post about this, yes, it was a reiteration of something another barkeep had already said.  But that was due in part to some of the members posting after the barkeep's comment either didn't read his statement, or ignored it, at which point I added a reminder.

3.  The cases I have seen of this have been fairly one-sided, though just as often, both parties are contributing.  In these cases, oftentimes I will post a comment as well as send a PM.  Overkill?  Maybe.  Something else for me to think about.

As to the sheer amount of moderating posts being made, keep in mind what Iago said.  The boards did not immediately revert to the level of moderation before the renovation.  On the contrary, he made it very clear [to me, anway] that there would be an increase in moderation over the course of a month or so, and an increased awareness of potential fires.  Which is why some campfires have been stamped on—the attempt to prevent another forest fire.

Remember kids friends don't let friends mod drunk.

HAH.  Tell that to the game servers I moderate with a group.  One guy gets drunk off his butt more often than not. 


On a more serious note, I realize that many times when I post moderating comments, it can be taken as rude.  That's not my intention—I'm just not as eloquent about it as PG, Priscellie, and the others are about it.  That's partly due to my background, and force of habit—to say it as concisely as possible, with small and easily understandable words.  Messages that can be read in 3-4 seconds, usually.  Blunt, to the point, and yes, able to be taken as rude.  It's a flaw I have, and I'll work on it.  Thanks for pointing it out, guys.

Thank you Priscellie, for pormoting my hypothesis from 'stupid carp Duck says' to 'neurovore level conspiracy'.

We've finally gauged that level? That sorta frightens me

Whaddya think, Cellie?  Sticky em here, or move it to the "Books" board?  I moved the CA wallpapers to the "CA Books," so for sake of consistency, put these in the "DF Books?"

I have a feeling it would have to contain Absythe.

Oh, most definitely.

I dread to think about what the Archivy would be.  And its effects.

If you're going to do that, might as well do the entire list

slate
lara
etc..

Also working on that right now.  Slim (William McCoy) and I have had a project in the works since November, and life is now finally allowing us to get most of the grunt work done.

Well, look who's talking!  You are addicted to talking to *us*.  Maybe not the best idea in the world.  ;D

If possible, place a limit on how many times someone can change their name in a minute.  Or any set length of time, really.  That's the only real annoyance I've come across—a couple members continually changing their usernames.

I'd say that'd fit under "Story of Us."  Title of "SCAdians Unite," or some such.
