Hey! we have new mods! yay!

[ER!C L!VE]

I'm looking forward to a new, positive forum that'll be easier to read and will better help mature (25+) men exchange help, ideas, techniques and experiences.

:cheer:

Rollo Tomassi was an excellent choice BUT I just hope now hes moderating we dont see him forfeiting his good posts and more importantly OPINIONS to be just yet another impartial moderator.

Thats my only gripe with having the guy who obviously knows his sh!t become a mod.

Fingers crossed.

 

[penkitten]

i am hoping that there will be more mature threads in here now.

 

[( . )( . )]

If by mature you mean an end to a bunch of clueless chicks and kids parroting the same zombified sh!t in here over and over then yeah I agree.

We just have to keep the trolls out.

I mean I think we should allow viewpoints, but my god when a 23 year old came here and argued with us, thats kind of ridiculous.

at least that one was 23
there are some that are like 16 they just dont put their age in.

( . )( . ): No worries. Everyone will still be subject to my marathon posts, outspoken pragmatism and brutally unfiltered objectivism you all (and WYLDFIRE) have come to expect from me.

 

[penkitten]

they are already cleaning this room up

 

[Desdinova]

Damn, some other mod beat me to taking the sticky off that "Dangerous Stud" thread.

 

[Kid Quick]

Please keep the kiddies out. I don't care how mature a 23 or 24 year old thinks he is, I don't want his tips.

 

[Kid Quick]

Congrats to the new mods.

 

[speedo_meme]

I think tit guy should be a mod also...

You really shouldn't allow my posting to annoy you so badly that you feel compelled to be a sanctimonious smart ass, Rollo.

I don't appreciate being lumped into the way the guys on here stereotype single mothers. All the foreskin bearing fellas get offended anytime something negative is posted about hoodies, too. It's pretty natural and your (and WYLDFIRE) quips are quite petty and unbecoming from someone of your intelligence.

I think you'll be a good mod, by the way.

This isn't "Grumpy Old Men" forum...

I tease you because I like you.

Oh yeah bro, my first order of business. "Dangerous Stud"...LOL

I think Paradox was smoking something when he put that sticky on it.

Rollo...let's remember who you're talking to, shall we? "Like" is a rather strong word. You appreciate what I bring to the table...but I frustrate the hell out of you...at least much of the time. I suppose if you're a masochist you might get off on that...but somehow I doubt it.

Just keeping it real.

Oh...and which one of you new mods deleted the thread I started about the guy who brings his personal problems to work with him? That topic was not only important, but clearly necessary for some of the guys that frequent this section particularly. It's very easy for frustrated men to obsess over a break up with a wife or girlfriend to the point where they harp on it and aren't able to move on. We see that EVERY day on this forum repeatedly. It's very likely some of the guys here DO go to work and complain about their relationship problems or break ups to their co workers. I posted what I did so anyone who does that will think twice before making themselves the guy everyone avoids and doesn't like.

On edit...I just noticed my thread was moved to "Anything Else". Although that's better than having it deleted...I posted it in this forum because this is the forum where those most at risk of becoming "Downer Dan" at their place of employment posts most of all.

It was moved to Anything Else. Not sure who moved it though.

Yeah, I noticed that after I posted. If you guys are going to move a thread you should do it in the way that leaves the thread where it was orginally posted because that's where the person who started it is going to look for it. If there is nothing there they are going to assume it was deleted, just as I did.

It will save you guys the trouble of fielding questions and complaints if you give a reason for closing or merging threads and leave a trace of anything moved. It may just have been a case of whoever moved it not being very familiar with the moderating control panel. If there isn't a thread in the mod forum explaining basics like that it might be a good idea for you guys to try to sort out some uniform policies for little things like that. Consistency is a good thing in moderation and little things like a brief explanation of why something was locked can go a very long way in avoid unnecessarily ruffled feathers. The less threads that get started attacking mods, the better.

Hey Wyld,

I didn't move that thread, but I think it should go in Anything Else, so kudos to whoever moved it.

Other than that, thanks for the moding tips; however, those too should go into anything else in lieu of a suggestions and feedback forum. Or better yet, send us a PM.

Yikes....a threat on the first full workday. Got any tips for us on how to deal with those?
