The Psychiatric Ward

Do you want a response?

Eh, I guess bug. I already know I sound somewhat bias towards the T&C side, even though I was trying to avoid that. That realization just hit me about 5 minutes ago.

Honestly, how the hell did that computer get so burnt up?

1. Take tongs.

2. Lift up the eye of a stove.

3. Close laptop around hot eye.

Huh? o.o You talked to Rich yesterday? About what?

Next question would be why.

That was interesting Derek. And I don't your really biased towards teams. But I really can't say much cause I'm happy in both sides. And am more or less irritated by the fighting.

xD Well no I'm not blatantly gonna ARGUE with you. After all, I was part of the T&C group way back before any of this stuff existed. I didn't touch the forums. But at the same time, I ended up going there when everybody from T&C left. So I definitely have ample time in both areas.

The first part would be where you talked about having the SuperMods leaving the T&C people take care of themselves. And the only problem with this is that.. well.. the people in the upper staff who you don't want messing with T&C never come in here to mess with you guys either, unless some other member brings a problem to their attention. So the point is kinda moot.

Promoting the two to SuperMod wouldn't be as straightforward as you would think either. Mainly because (and by all means, I don't think either are ignorant) neither Axionas nor Z are so well established with how the Forums work, and having complete control over all the forums may not end well, coming from a different person's perspective. Doesn't mean I personally don't trust them, but from every angle, not a good choice.

Upper staff is upset with me because I would rather wing it with common sense than follow the rules to the letter that Crossy set up.

You already know I agree, because I do the same thing, and there's no problem with me. So part of it is definitely that you're the newest on the team, and well, certain parties aren't fans. So you're on a tighter rope, making things difficult. Which yeah, isn't fair.

Teams is upset with the way the forum staff act, because they think there's no sense of courtesy in the forums. They want things to change so that everyone's as polite as polite gets, but that isn't happening, because things are too set in stone with the forums.

I can understand where this comes from. I can. However, it's not really so much that the people in forums are NOT courteous, it's more that the etiquette in one area is simply different. It would be like going to a country club your whole life where denim jeans weren't recommended, but they weren't banned, then walking into a separate club wearing jeans where denim WAS banned, and being offended. The places are just different.

Volke doesn't like me because I called him out on his crude joke in SCT, you listen to me just as much as you do him, and because I stick out like a sore thumb in upper staff. He wants me demoted, but again, that probably isn't going to happen. A demotion under Volke's will would just set off T&C again.

Obviously. It really depends on his motive though. I mean, if you TRULY did a terrible job and he wanted you gone, then yeah, that probably wouldn't set off anyone ;). But I think you're doing alright; just a different method.

I don't like Volke because he's an egotist who I believe is making a mess of the Admin position. I personally want him to either drop the ego and act like an Admin should, or return to Smod, but neither of those are going to happen. People don't change just because one person wants it. He's most likely not going back to Smod level no matter what happens, because the forum people like him, and he's been here since the forums began. A good chunk of the Teams members don't like him because he's a, and I quote them on this, "Jerk". They see his defaming attitude as just mean. But again, nothing can be done about him without making someone else mad.

Dunno if you saw it or not, but he did apologize to you in SMod, admitting he was biased. Said he'd do better for his bias. Moot point. Might wanna try to avoid blatantly trying to make people look bad though, for future reference. For every person that talks to somebody behind their back, there's somebody else talking behind THEIR back.


For everybody here, the absolutely best thing to do if you don't want people from the forums getting into an issue or problem they're ignorant about is to make a post in the T&C HeadQuarters, because the people who stick to forums won't check it, and won't get involved. If you make a topic in staff about it, however, you can expect everybody to give their own view. That team was made specifically for T&C problems. It's written at the top of T&C solely for the purpose of having a place for the T&C mods and SuperMods who stick around T&C (Me, Nikki) to settle questions and problems OUTSIDE of the forums.

Sticking to teams or sticking to forums only causes dissension. If you all REALLY wanna get along, everybody should post everywhere and get a taste of every kind of food before they judge one side or the other. Meaning people here should post in the forums occasionally, and people in forums should post here.

Bug, you make me proud. I like the way you say things. <3
There's only one thing that I think I need to elaborate on.

The first part would be where you talked about having the SuperMods leaving the T&C people take care of themselves. And the only problem with this is that.. well.. the people in the upper staff who you don't want messing with T&C never come in here to mess with you guys either, unless some other member brings a problem to their attention. So the point is kinda moot.

The SuperMods are still the only ones who pick staff for Teams. Some of the Mods like Axionas and Ninetailed Fox who know T&C the best want to be able to say who Mods here and for how long.

I remember when we picked and argued for team mods in staff. At least then people like me could argue for them

That must have been some grand old times.

Looking over bug's post now, I see another part I should have elaborated on more. ._. Yeah, I see where he's coming from with the idea of Liz and Eli being promoted to Smod bad. I had the same thought. That's why, in my little imaginary world, I thought of Liz and Eli being Smod over teams, but being limited in the forums by the will of the Admins. They could only Mod what the Admins told them they could. Like, just to continue Modding the Pokemon Hub, they would have to get permission and be heavily limited.

Such a pity the time I return to this team and you guys are being boring, when are you guys ever boring here? It no fair. Shay+Fluffy+Lily+Pollo=Fun why you guys ignore the laws of math?

Nice new team logo.

*poofs into the chat thread*
>_> Who's talking about me?

Anyways, what's this about Teams Smods?

Nothing to worry about Shay.

*Stares at tbug's avy.* Strange.

I'm never going to beat the kids at school if I keep this up.
*Spams buttons on PSP*

Actually, Derek, don't worry about a topic. :P I'll just talk to Chris and Will.
