Questions questions questions here are a few
How many hours a day/week do you spend in your duties as a mod on WP?
What do you think your time is worth?
Do you feel you get the support to fulfill these duties from Alex and the others on the mod team?

SO?

Sorry I missed this among so many questions(seriously guys I know that you are trying to make me feel welcome but you can now try to go back to your usual stuff and pretend Im not here).

It depends on the week/day.  I try to keep an eye on most threads at wp as a normal user and whenever I come across something that doesnt look right I contact the member in question about it.
If it had to be an average( about 1 h on week days and 2 h on weekends). This may be extended if a member contacts me about an issue they´ve been having with a member/thread.

Im not sure about what my time is worth but when alex approached me with this idea I thought that it was an  experience I wouldnt normally get to do and that it could help with my naivety so I took it(A good friend of mine was also starting as a mod at the same time so that helped a little with this decision).

-Pretty sure we can all agree that alex isnt as involved with his board as he should be, however I do believe that Moog an hyperlexian are doing their best to help other users and try to make wp a better place.

Some people thought I was a troll. :) Not anymore, I am not, as I dont say things to get reactions. It's more that the things that I naturally want to talk about sometimes creates strong ones.
Well I do like you now eris. I just don't get certain interests that you have.

Most people don't understand their own fetishes either , I sure as hell don't get most of mine.  :laugh:
I'll just diagnose myself as Goddess of the Universe and have done with it. Hell with autism!  :green: :zoinks:

Be nice to the fresh meat ^H^H newcomer. Wouldn't it be more fun if he decided to ditch the FB page and spend time here instead?

Absolutely, but he can't tell people here what to do.  :dunno:

Sure he can. And you can ignore it.

Why bother he already stated he was not staying, WP is all he seems to be good for. If on the other hand he planed on sticking around perhaps.
Ive received quite a few suggestions to stick around and try to work on the problems that there are between both sites  and I think that its a great idea but given the way that wp/I^2 treat each other at the moment Im not sure it would work.

am i the only one here that didnt get a "Strong" greeting when i came here? i think i got only one "go away" and never really got harrassed... maybe i shouldt be mentioning this... people may try and make up for lost time i guess...

Allow me to correct this oversight: as a longtime member of this site, I am thrilled to have you join our ranks. I consider your arrival here to be a defining moment, one that will stand the test of time and bring a change to the otherwise pitiful lives of the membership.

The welcoming drinks are on their way, the 72 virgins stand ready and a parade is being planned in your honour.

He is offended by popcorn ?

Oh my, we are in for trouble.

I'm offended by popcorn. I had enough of it for a lifetime when working at the cinema.

Hey there Spongy.

I will give you a bit of a heads up here.

Callouts. They are really a meet and greet and of no real consequence. When we like someone and want to discuss it with them we "call out" to them. "Hey dog breath your posting style sucks" or "Hey your opinion on religion sucks retard". We all respond very well to such claims and that is the "call out" section.

Now some of the personalities.

Sinnocent is a Chinese girl with a keen love of all things spiritual. She is a practising Buddhist and runs Alternative medicine shop where she supplements her income with Tarot readings and massages.

Scrapheap: Very quiet and reserved guy. Has been trying for a long time to bring himself to talk to people. Finds it especially hard to talk to ladies.

Callaway: Very forgetful lady. A great way to embarrass her is to bring up an issue a day before and she will not have any idea she said it or thought it and lose her point of reference. You can easily confuse her.

PPK: Hates confrontation and is very anti-gun and lives in a commune selling craft. He is a bit of a soft spot here so go easy on him.

Gluey is a conformist and likes things proper. She would not look out of place in a convent truth be told.

Peter is the only member we have from Africa. He is by birth a Pymie and until recently had no inclination what the internet was but has come leaps and bounds in a very short time. He has wonderful stories to tell you of the open plains of Africa and his triumphs against wild beasts whilst protecting his homeland

Butterflies is very quiet almost as quiet as CouldBeCousin. Butterflies as you can tell from the face is a gentle little soul and easily startled. She is in need of a bit of protecting and I think that you could well be the person to do so.

Shotgun Surgeon's heart lies in romantic comedies and poetry. He has a keen appreciation for all things romantic. Very talented

Theok is shy and demure and easily upset by efforts to bring up anything of a sexual nature. Try it. It is fun. He is such a prude. Anything at all honestly

Adam is allergic to animal hair and such issues are a sore point for Soph. I would stay well clear of any approach to dogs, cats, turtles, rabbits...you know pets entirely.

Odeon is the owner. He is not that bright and a soft touch here. In fact as a general exercise in lulz give it to him and watch him flounder. It is fun. All of us do this.

Schleed is the nice guy of the forum and the most sensitive by far. Treat him with kid gloves because seeing him dissolve into a weeping messy is not only frightening but heart-breaking and so easily done.

Celtic Goddess and Earthbound Misfit are actually code names. They are, I understand, a terrorist splinter cell and are very close and secretive. I have no idea their true motives and naturally it scares shit out of me.

Calavera is a highly religious person. He has over many years drifted from one secular religion to another as the truth of god seemed out of his grasp.  Now he has found his best fit and living a strict secular life with a denomination of Christianity that is strict and demanding and he is the type of person for it. He will textually rip anyone to pieces for arguing in any topic that cross the boundaries of his christian principles....even inadvertently. be careful.

Oh there is also CouldbeCousin who is a real tearaway.She doesn't post much but when she does watch out. Nasty piece of work and in league with HykeasWell. Be wary of those two. These two are really the Bonnie and Clyde of the forum. Do not misjudge the outward happy and gentle humour for that. They are the sharks of the forum and wait til they see blood in the water so to speak and they will rip you to pieces

Squid Vampire from Hell is what we like to refer to as a psychopathic radical Aryan, because that is what he is in fact. It is no surprise that the bad eggs or the forum - CBC, Hykeaswell and Queen Victoria are drawn to his horrible nature. Everyone else is scared of him....except Renaeden. He is I believe a high ranking Neo-Nazi.

Queen Victoria is pure evil. There is little that escapes her notice here and she will take whatever you hold dear and use it against you in frightening ways. Evil I tell you.

Lutra is a passionate and highly emotional individual. You will often find Lutra in the thick of debates arguing strongly as to the deepest passions of his enormous heart. He is an activist by heart and nature.

Renaeden? Well like a venus fly trap this lady will happily wait for her next victim. Then she devours slowly but unlike the fly trap she will laugh all the while. She is a nasty piece of work.

Zengh is our resident health nut. He is a firm believer of thy body is a temple. He is a hard bastard. He is a marathon runner and a martial artist too. Has like 8 abs.

Austra is a Swedish trumpet player. She has big lips and practices lip and breath control by sucking a golf ball through a garden hose. She is talented.

English Privateer is our most prestigious member. She can trace her Italian heritage back to Julius Caesar. She is a gentle and studious historian working for the National Library of Rome and any conversations about Roman and its incursions against the filthy degenerates that would defy Rome is strongly welcomed.

Psycho-Babble is a great lover of chess and like the game of chess he is very good at mindgames and in working a forum. Having said this he does not mind pushy or arrogant people and bigots. He is not family orientated and prefers the company of an inexpensive bottle of scotch and a shot glass.

PMSElle? Elle is a mature voluptuous self assured matronly lady with the ability and confidence to deal with all people as equals and the confidence in herself to accept her own shortcomings. She is intelligent and can extrapolate what she has learned into practical everyday realities. She always backs what she says and people listen to her reasoned judgments

Eris. More prude in matters sexual than even poor Theok. Very quickly flustered by mention of sexual proliferation or bodily fluid exchanges. Try bringing something kinky into the conversation to make her blush. You know you want to.

Ren Hoek?  I think beneath his friendly exterior could well be a latent psychopath. In fact there is little I believe to stop him going postal. In time he will and all that will save us all from saying "I knew that guy. I always suspected he would" will be the fact that his username is not his real name. I think this is better in a way don't you?

Rage is a well adjusted and yet sensitive you man. He is the boy that every Father wants to have his daughter bring home for a date. Gentle soul. He is also a peaceful man and has recently applied for the priesthood. We are waiting this for a long time. Not everyone would fit the priesthhood well but somhow with Rage you know it is just his calling.

Have you met Pyraxis?

You will like her. I wrote a special poem for her.

"She is fun and always in good cheer

She will happily rip you from arsehole to ear"

Do you like it?

Hubert Cumberdale is an 18 year old German girl, and one of our latest members. She is very busy in providing good wholesome recipes that her grandmother used to make. We are getting a new idea of what culinary delights found in that country.

I guess you will get to know the rest.

Oh of course there is me. I am I admit VERY sensitive and easily hurt. l am the meet and greeter and will steer you well in this little forum to make your life as easy as possible.

Oh as far as calling out I would expect you may wish to find a reason to "callout" to Callaway, Odeon, Hubert,  PPK,  Calvera, and then Butterflies in that approximate order.

I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

Sir Les, you left me out. I'm hurt.

Quote
I dont think that it would be ethical to post it considering that some members have been banned in the past for posting pm exchanges with mods elsewhere.

Is this a practise that continues? You do know that was WRONG of those particular mods to do right? The rules and the TOS don't apply outside of WP. While you think it's unethical and a breach of that person's trust, it's NOT AGAINST THE RULES!!

Allow me to introduce you to a four letter term that I absolutely abhor; DMCA.

Technically, posting material from WP here is a violation of the DMCA and could result in a takedown notice. It would be a bullshit takedown notice, but the site could still be taken down - speaking from experience here, one of AFF's former members, Timelard, got buttdevastated when he was banned and pulled a DMCA to try and force us to remove his posts.

They're still there, by the way.

Jack makes slushes in a blender with koolaid. It's yummy and others always want to drink it.

 I should fly out to Jack's house next summer, when the heat drives me mad, and ask nicely
 for one of these fruity treats.  I'm sure Jack will make one just for me!   :2thumbsup:

You could at least stick around and participate in a passive manner though (ie. just stick around, post in the games and use this place as another social outlet)
