"Velvety Potato Locked?" Locked?

[Thornstar]

What the fuck!

Can't the fucking Werewolf AST's leave our shit alone?

I mean holy fucking Christ, why must you involve yourself in things you "don't" care about?

And now, as soon as your little feelers get hurt, you go and lock a rant.

Lock a Rant???!!!

OMGWTFBBQ!!

If your little Grrrl Gamrrr ego needs to be stroked, get more flexible. Keep your power trip off the fucking board.

God, I'm glad I'm in Vampire now.

[Kenneth Ashland]

I...just...

I dunno.

I remember a time when the rant board was used to rant about game-stuff...or real life-stuff...

Stuffing! Instead of potatos!

[Thornstar]

Yeah I know.

All this over a spud and too much testosterogen.

Wake me up when we get to

"""""""Velvety Potato Locked?" Locked?" Locked?" Locked?" Locked?" Locked?" Locked?"

[wereastbill]

Look up, people...

GENERAL COMMUNITY BOARDS.



Because Elspeth and I went to Werewolf... Are we the "enemy" now because we, as of this moment, are not a part of the Vampire sphere?

I'm SORRY if I pissed off Y'ALL with MY opinion.

You want to get upset about this... fine. I have bigger things to worry about.

[Thornstar]

Ok.

For the record, I'm not angry with you guys, 'cause the whole situation is silly.

I'm more confused with Shakir's posts taking the whole situation to a POWER LEVEL never before SEEN.

>=o GWOOOOOOOOOH!

*Ki aura = OUTRAGEOUS!*

And for the record I'm not angry with him, either. If anything, I think the fact that some people have actually managed to get that angry over this crap is dumb.

[wereastbill]

I didn't want to go to this level... I just wanted to blow off steam about how stupid I thougth the thread was.

*makes note* Save bitching of thread for LJ.

[wereastsarah]

I did not lock a rant. I locked a thread that had degenerated into personal attacks. I did so so that it would not continue to escalate publicly. I also noted that I may be contact personally about the issue. I, in fact, even admitted personal fault.

I do not feel that this is beyond the scope of what a moderator is for. I have, now, put on the professional hat, since that seems to be what is being asked of anyone with "*.ST" in their log in.

If you have further concerns, please do contact me. I assure you the thread was locked for strictly professional reasons. (My personal preferences would have been to continue giving as good as was being dished out.)

If, however, your desire is to continue to escalate the issue, I sincerely ask that you not. It serves no purpose other than to personally insult, degrade, and make enemies of the people we're all supposed to be having fun with.

Whoa, that was only one or two guys, tops.

I didn't say anything of the sort. I can tell the difference between "THE ST STAFF HAS DECREED..." and "Well, my personal opinion is that..."

But hey, let's talk about the important part, that being:

Hopefully this will have occured after heads have cooled.

Yes, including my own.

Is it getting hot in here or is it just you?

;D

Well, that's not entirely true...there's that whole "Bush Administration," but I digress...

If people want to rant, hey, this is the depository. Read at your own risk, yadda yadda yadda.

No animosity here. Not coming from me, anyway...

[wereastsarah]

Haha, very funny Ben... schmoozer.

[Thornstar]

Btw way, Bill Im not mad at you at all.

[wereastbill]

Then save your personal fights for PM's.

THAT IS AN GLOBAL MODERATOR CALL

Um, it's "A GLOBAL", not "AN GLOBAL."

Aiee!

*shakes head* Can't believe I read this stuff. Must be bored.

I'll say this, though. If any moderater has an idea to lock any thread, most especially in the Rant section, perhaps they should confer with other STs. This way, if something is locked, it can be said "The Staff decrees" or at least "Several of us decrees".

The Rant board is freedom to talk all the shit you want. It lets out the steam here, so maybe it can be over and done with by the time Game comes about on Saturday. Locking threads that people are ranting on... removing thier voice on something, is likely only to disgruntle them more. And well, that's not always the best solution.

Personal, impersonal, about game, about life, about your momma. That is the rant for you. Let it burn itself down so there are not flames to be spewed at the game we all enjoy.

If you are of the type to be upset by ranting and such, someone who will take an attack towards you from the rant, and hold a grudge and want to be vengeful outside of the rant. Maybe you should avoid the rant section.

As for Personal Fights, I am all for them being on the board. This way it does not become a personal grudge between two individuals, and as well, other players can tell them when they are being stupid. Perhaps rid the anger by pointing out the ridiculousness of it. Not something to hide away and fester. It will be out in the open, and will most always resolve itself.

This is good. This is healthy.

There is nothing wrong with anger, annoyance, or frustration. Personal or no.
