nOh, fuck that, I'll just tell you.This is nothing new. Hold on, I should be able to find proof....This is the new standard. You can not be critical of Teia as a mod without being accused of having an anti trans agenda. Sometimes you can't even mention Teia without being accused. They have a new sacred cow.Its sad cause I got accused of being anti trans and such. So i figured I needed to lay it out.
Over a year ago, on Sally, there was a discussion in RLA. I don't remember what the topic was, but Cyan, who's a friend of mine, posted that the OP should consider lowering his standards and get with a chubby girl because they're more appreciative of the attention. Teia went into the thread rampaging about how sexist that was or whatever the fuck he was saying, I don't really remember. I went in there and told him he was retarded because, generally speaking, chubby girls ARE more appreciative of a good man because, honestly, they likely never thought they'd find anyone. I was then accused of being homophobic for posting an opinion against his.

And, see, I've never met a dumb cat. My Mr. Mason that I have now is incredibly intelligent.Fuck THAT noise.My god, Dane's a furry.
I mean, seriously...yiffing?
And as mentioned, I HAVE cats. Lots of them. Thus, I've had a lot of experience with cats.
I'd never voluntarily try to emulate a species as willingly stupid as cats. I swear, I love em to death, but people say cats are smart and dogs are dumb? They've never met any of the mental marvels that zip around my house all night long.

Azrael making us all look like uncouth animals again.Everyone knows you're in charge. Your authority isn't at issue. The wisdom of some of your decisions are at issue.I'll try to quickly explain what's up, mmkay.
The reason why the thread was closed (I talked with Galspanic) was because it was a question that was answered. Had it not been full of vitriol and passive aggressiveness, having it as a thread discussing that rule might have been useful, but it was drowned under trolling and spamming. Borderline stuff that was previously deemed okay in CI isn't necessarily considered okay anymore. Were doing stuff differently in that regard. Heck, in August the site felt so much in the hands of the users that I somehow felt compelled to plea to the users to stop being mean. So yeah, when CI threads are a mess of spamming/trolling/bullshit, then they are much more quickly closed now than in the past.
As for the RLA rules thing in particular, I expect we'll be talking about that... but in the Mod Lounge, sheltered from users who feel like making a drama storm over it. Had it been a reasonable discussion, CI would have been fine. But the policies we used to have in CI - they didn't work. We'd give up to people who yelling, and as expected, that meant they were yelling even louder next time. The users were too entitled. Now we're trying to make up for it by changing stuff for the better (in the making), make better & fairer rules, but also make it clear in CI that staff's in charge and won't be browbeaten into submission. That's going to be better for everyone, I
think.
When that's the case, you don't get anywhere by standing on your authority and position. If you do that, a la Extremeicon, you build up an increasing reservoir of discontent which will eventually bubble over.
Constructive advice is often being taken by the staff - that's good - but if something said is negative (or said in an angry tone) it's often discounted.The users aren't "entitled" - the staff has ignored userbase criticisms more often that not! They're starved for attention, for people who will listen to them, and hear them out when they have an issue. That's hardly unreasonable, and so long as the group-think in the ML is that people criticizing the staff is the problem, instead of a symptom of the occasional bad decision, you're going to be slip back into the perpetual drama cycle that haunted the iridium since its inception.
nOlder staff tried the approach you're implementing now, and it back-fired on them, hard-core, year after year after year. It. Does. Not. Work.
If you have a topic brimming with vitriol and passion, and you just close the thread - the negative feelings don't disappear. They fester, and become grudges, until you're dealing with a fresh crop of angry people lurking in CI, waiting for an opportunity to give you a piece of their minds.
You want to disarm the negativity? Listen to them, calm them, take action.

Not having a mixer was the problem. If you're baking anything and don't have a mixer, you have to mix it about twice as long by hand.I suck at making Cakes so much.
Anyone have anytips?
Perhaps I should have used a Mixer instead of doing it by hand. I used a strainer to catch the large clumps though.
Other than that, my best advice is to let it cool before you try to frost it. It'll just fall apart if you don't.

Saying it here defeats the purpose of saying it, Onar. But, don't worry. I won't be getting into any trouble.How am I being a vigilante, Onar?then close this thread , ban blackhound if you absolutely have to and tell the said individuals to stop fighting."deliberately goaded or targeted" by people who have seen basically all of us rouse rabble in the past and with people who are intentionally walking into bee hives with rocks and then spinning is a circle while windmill tossing said rocks 360 degrees around.cole, i know what yanni is capable of doing and what he can't more than you think.onar, i'm not sure if you're aware, but yanni is only marginally more intelligent than most non-leafy vegetables
now if you call this drama , i don't know what to say : You guys are being deliberately goated or targeted, and yet this thread remains open?
yes, penalties and biases are probably way too harsh for what they should be, but how many times do you need to have the discussion "teia shouldn't be a mod and i shouldn't have an infraction" before you just move on from the area where both of those things are
happening?
Manders : What the hell do you gain from vilganteism?
I told you before. If I've got something to say, I'm going to say it. If that makes me a vigilante, then let's hope I don't AzWolG anyone.
can't you say it here without getting in trouble?
