Ask the Staff Anything

[aka958]

Whats done is done, the action was taken and if you can tow the line like a rule abiding member then the infractions may be removed in future. Remember that you have 2 out of 3 though. Things have been explained and surely you can see why action was taken.

Surely that didn't explain anything that was said in my post. I don't really care about the infractions, I know what's done is done. But still, me and the actually concerning user did solve our conflict, with a good discussion. With others telling "wtf are you doing?" and other stuff created the big discussion, and caused the most havoc. While I made it even and nicely with Asmodaius everyone else on the other hand just couldn't let it go. Asmodaius himself told that his post was negative, although I shouldn't have reacted so harshly.

On another note. Why can't thread maker's lock their own threads?

Because its only a feature that staff have access too, if a thread creator feels a thread has run its course or served its purpose they can request a thread closure. Better to leave it to staff to decide for the most part though as when you allow a community to govern itself with certain actions all kinds of stuff could go wrong.

Closing their threads in spite because someone they dont get on with entered it, closing it because they merely disagreed with someones post, making threads to get post count and then closing it after 1 post. Things like that basically.

That makes sense. Thanks.

You mean user images or the text based usertitles under username?

Yeah. Pretty much. Nothing fancy. Or special name coloring or something.

The need of new Staff, and a good enough background to be likely chosen.

 

[cheezMcNASTY]

what does it take to be a staff member?

ten kilos of cocaine, a yaht, 300 pounds of deer meat, a funnel, a rubber band, and the entire original cast for Wicked on broadway.

In addition to Cheez's comment you must find the golden fleece and the head of a Griffin.

Use your imagination.

We cant tell you that, to prove your worth you have to acquire it yourself.

Well a handful of people have managed it so technically not impossible, they just showed us they have what it takes.

 

[DMC]

so really what does it really take?

 

[Dark Drakan]

so really what does it really take?

Maturity, awareness, eagerness, patience, knowledge and common sense along with a willingness to help and be willing to do a thankless job.

Well, if you really can't accomplish the feats we've listed above, then the only other way of becoming one of us is through the ancient rites of gladiatorial combat, each battle is a fight to the death and should you please us, you may join our ranks.

The first battle is against a Griffin. Technically that'd count as obtaining the Griffin's head...Then you can either carry on or find a golden fleece, and believe me, that bitch is hard to find.

Maturity, awareness, eagerness, patience, knowledge and common sense along with a willingness to help and be willing to do a thankless job.

Or...Y'know, this.

 

[GamblingGambitCloud]
