I think it's fair. I mean, banning doesn't really do much, but I've no personal reason to complain.
Aimee and GB are not only moderators, they also reply to topics in this and other forums. These serve as a reminder that mods are posters too. When I was a mod at a different message board I spent way too much time modding and I eventually lost touch with the regular posters.
Beagle and JP are also pretty funny people. I enjoy them.

As both I and Carbucketty mentioned in the stickied thread above, the mods have started a "review" of the postings policy; besides that, it has always been the case that if you have complaints or comments, you should feel free to make them.
However, simple statements that "things are bad" or "things are good" are not actually of any use, except to make people annoyed at one another.
If you have a problem, then explain what it is and what you want to change - don't just make blanket complaints that you don't like the situation. There's nothing anyone can do about obtuse, generalised statements. And if you don't actually give us ideas about what WOULD be better, none of us are qualified to psychically figure out what you want.

And, of course, it should be noted that it's unfortunate that people might feel "afraid" to comment - as (constructive) criticism and ideas about how to improve things would be welcomed, by all of the moderators, from any users.

I would say GayBoy that your wording seems to be more of a dare than inviting comment. The mods should be held to a higher standard. That's the price a person should pay when they serve as a mod.

Damn...I just deleted my post by accident
Take two......
I'll tell you here and now that I was behind last night's trolling. I started it. I recruited people. I continued it. And I don't particularly regret it.
I've SAID what needed to be said several times. It does no good. I didn't hide behind a false identity because of cowardice. I did it because I am sick of how this place is run and I was feeling bitchy and spiteful. Not to mention that I was so obviously me in some of those posts that I could have signed them in my own blood and it couldn't have been more obvious.
Aimee's behavior as of late has been reprehensible. Despite the fact that I haven't even been here as of late, she encouraged a completely inaccurate accusation that I had been trolling. You know what they say about self-fulfilling prophecies.
So yeah. I did it last night. I may do it again someday. You never know. The way I see it, if you're going to call me a troll, well then, i may as well be one.
So there you go. Strike two for Lops

I think the moderating is, in general, pretty good. I wish the boards were less censored, though. I visit some boards where we're allowed to swear all we want, and there isn't this big huge formal "posting policy". Yeah, there are rules, but not nearly as many as we have here. We don't have a problem with trolling nearly as much as MDN does on those boards.
I like JP and Beagle a lot. I agree with what Loppy said about GayBoy, the bit about how GayBoy supports the underdog and tips the scales in the other direction. Aimee is pretty good also, but I think she censors things more than she needs to. A good example of this is when she locked the "Adults Only Spelling Bee Performance Discussion Thread" a couple months ago. There was clearly a warning that the stuff being discussed in that thread was for Adults Only, so if someone didn't want to read that thread, they didn't have to. They weren't forced to read it. On a side note, I love Aimee's avatar.
I wish some of the more intelligent people (Loppy, Ciaron, both Evans, etc.) still regularly posted. I actually don't mind that Loppy was behind the trolling attack. While it was not the way I would've gone about the situation, I'm not mad at her about it. Maybe this is because I didn't witness most of the trolling attacks, as I was off my computer for a while. I also agree with a lot of Loppy's points about the mods.

Can you be a little bit more condescending? I'd like to think you can't, but one never knows.
Lets address the issue. The unfounded accusation that Loppy was a troll was not dispelled my the mods, it was even encouraged.
You're allow Loppy and others to be called trolls, but you're disappointed with them/us for turning to that as a way of demonstrating frustration?
So while you do all you can to 'protect' the poor innocents, you conventionently ignore utter morons such as Quique, who continues to demonstrate how his maturity level through attacking whoever, complete newbies included, at will and blaming it on his period or the side of the bed or his thighhighs being too tight.
The amount of obscene shit Quique and Psyches, for instance, have spouted into this forum is pretty much equal to the amount that was dragged up last night.
And for everyone whos saying the points are void, and the trolling was worthless, think about this analogy.
When people want to protest something, or lobby a government, ie the Anti-War Marches in London...they gather a group together, and somehow peacefully (ideally) interrupt the common persons daily life, in order to ensure their point is heard...they use this small inconvenience to create debate - people may dislike protesters, what they're doing may be nothing but inconvenient to most people, but the issue gets talked about, and thats whats important.
I think my feelings on the moderation are pretty clear. JP is good, although I didn't always think so. But lately, I can't complain. GB and Aimee are lovely people, but they're too much like regular posters with mod power. On a large, varied, and argumentative board like the Misc forum, mods can't get too involved. JP manages to post and contribute, without getting too personally involved...or if he does have opinions and preferences about people and their issues, he keeps them to himself/is diplomatic about it.
Aimee and GB, I think would be good mods, in a smaller, more unified situation.
I agree with Loppy though, GB, you do tend to try and prop up the underdog at the expense of the 'top' dog.
Beagle's just decoration really, in my experience.
Carb is crazy, and I wish he would stay in the Cats forum.
And someone really needs to tell Quique to dial down the freak.
Thats all the honesty I think y'all can handle right now.
Oh, except for that Loppy is hot.
Good night.

I KNEW you were going to do that.
And don't say things you don't mean. You said, 'not to disregard the rest of you post' and then you proceded to ignore it.
You cannot really be this thick GB.
1) I put 'top' in quotes like that for a reason. That reason was that I didn't want to imply that there was a mnd 'top dog'. Punctuation is important. Learn it. Love it.
2) The topdog/underdog framework can easily be placed on any number of individual situations you encounter as a mod each day. Theres always someone having the worse of it in an argument, or less able to vocalize their opinions, or less knowledgeable about musicals or stupider or whatever. These are the people you tend to support, whether they are in the right or not. It is not always the same person, on either side of the equation.
3) Hierarchy is clearly something mdn doesn't mind, as people are classified by post count from fresh face to Bway Legend. Hierarchy and topdog/underdog relationships occur naturally in human relationships every day. As a policeman, do you report to a seniour officer, or to the janitor? People look to seniority and confidence. There are people here who are confident, even arrogant, knowledgable, and generally able to take care of themselves. My point was that you don't mind giving them a knock, if it means you can help someone whos not quite so steady on their feet up a little.
I'm not saying m.net should have a hierarchy, but if you think human life in general, and thus m.net, doesn't incorporate hierarchy into everyday life, well then....you're simple.

Do you really expect people to take you seriuosly and then to think that I am the reprehensible one after the disgusting display you led last night? It's probably vastly to your benefit that we removed the posts because if people could see what you put they might be sick nand you would certainly lose a lot of 'support'.
The ONLY post of mine on here which is vaguely offensive will no doubt be brought up by you again and again and again. It's one post Loppy, compared to all the appaling things you posted and encouraged to be posted just last night alone [let alone before last night]. Also I have not allowed myself the luxury of removing the post, it is there for all to see. Also, the more trolling you do, the more justified I feel in havng posted it in the first place.

My issues with the mods and the way the forum is run:
I think it is entirely waaaaay too clear who is on Aimee's, as my mom would say, "sh!t list", and who she absolutely adores. Sure, you're all human and would like some members more than others and vice versa. However, you are in a position of power on the forum- you should be a role model to the members and try to treat all neutrally unless they do something outstandingly bad or outstandingly good. She is condescending to people she doesn't like. She also, as others have said, been overly zealous in some censoring at times.
Which brings me to anther issue: what is appropriate and what is not. Are some of Quique's more risque posts involving transsexuals and weird fetishes acceptable? Is "My Humps", a sexual song, acceptable? Or is everything acceptable until someone decides they're offended?
This "censoring" also has pretty much curbed the love of debates this forum had- seeing they'd get closed the second it gets heated and someone gets an emotional booboo. Instead of locking a whole topic, delete the offending post(s) if you feel they're truly offensive. Hand out a lovely strike to the offender(s).
Beagle on Stage is a pretty okay mod, but at times may try to stop trouble before it has a chance to occur- closing a topic he thinks MAY get bad. Wait a little. He also, as Loppy said, has a sort of way about him that passively summons trouble.
GayBoy is also a pretty okay mod, and I haven't seen too much of the scale-tipping as others have complained.
JP is JP, I need not explain. (it's positive).
Also, I feel as though mods get to decide who gets to slide by with a rule breaking and who doesn't. Some, at times, are entirely too snippy, condescending, argumentative, and so forth. As mods, you cannot be this way.
In summary:
Mods: role models of forum
Rules: enforce for all or enforce for none
JP: cool

1) Whether you want to see it or not, and whether or not its deserved or should be there, it is. Sorry. Thats life.
2) Hierarchy is not necessarily royalty and peasants. Thats feudal. Hierarchy is what you have within the police force, or the army, or the government, or a school, or any other large organized body of people to help ensure smooth running. The fact that you are a mod is an example of hierarchy.
3) So, everyone involved in the 'spamming', no matter what their level of involvement/reasons for doing so/honesty and arguments in subsequent discussion, deserves to be treated as a lesser citizen here at m.net.

I think this undermines your case more than it helps.
And about any hierarchy at MDN (I know that Loppy didn't suggest this), I think there are only 3 recognized levels.
Admin (Ms. Chou)
The Mods
Everyone else
Posting rank or even knowledge doesn't afford anyone special privileges over other posters.
I really don't understand what is the problem here. It is sounding as if some people want this board to be more like professional wrestling where people get their entertainment by seeing how outrageous others can be.
I'm still not sure what was happening about a year ago but I think a group of posters were trying to take control of the forum by harassing others they deemed undesirable and I did see posts as evidence of that. Now it looks as if the old and new mods have regained control and this "intellectual elite" clique doesn't like it.
Really, this is Ms. Chou's board and she can have it run as she sees fit. For those that don't like it I suggest setting up your own board like Valentin did with Stagedoor. It's still functioning so I guess it works for them. I don't know why but Musicalforums seems to have failed. Is it because the "intellectual elite" thrive on harassing others and cannot cope with its own company?
Anyway, life is short and I've spent about as much time on this as I care to.

My opinion of the moderation? A few are doing their jobs. One has improved exponentially (hi, Beagle). Two have degenerated in a very sad way, as I like them both (Aimee, GayBoy, what happened?). Two simply are not here, one through no fault of his own (Carb, rarely posts, evacuated for Katrina) and the other because I don't know if she's actually a mod on the general forum (MsJellicle).
As for new forums...I dunno. It might work, it might not. There are people on this forum who simply wouldn't move, and then there are those who would move who are truly not welcome.
Grubbs: my memory isn't all that clear, but I'm fairly sure that she (Loppy) was simply lobbying to have you removed, not to create new mods.

I firmly remember quite a few complaints about the moderation job and lobbying for new mods. She participated in quite a few "new mod" debates we had.
Now, while she may or may not have come out and said "we need more mods!" she most definitely said that we needed a change in the mods that we had, and a change in the way the forum was moderated.

Lets address the issue. The unfounded accusation that Loppy was a troll was not dispelled my the mods, it was even encouraged.
You're allow Loppy and others to be called trolls, but you're disappointed with them/us for turning to that as a way of demonstrating frustration? |
You're asking for ridiculously special treatment. May I refresh your memory on how many times Loppy has encouraged her unfounded accusations about innocent members on here? Nobody, other than Loppy herself, allowed Loppy to be called a "troll." How did she allow it?
By being one.
I can easily say that all the cussing I posted on here in the past was because - poor lil' ol' me, I was so frustrated with Loppy accusing me of trying to get excessive attention, that expressing it through vulgarity was understandable.
Ah, but I'm no moron and I will NEVER defend the language I used during that time. I admire myself for standing-up to losers but I've learned a very valuable lesson since then...
...in order to stand-up to lame losers, one need not become a loser himself.
The mods don't favor anyone but the forum policy. Let the fact I currently have 2 strikes against me prove that.
Let the fact I take responsibility for my own actions and haven't been banned since my last strike several months ago prove, that Gayboy's last strike to me has not only made me a better member, it has proved you 100%.....WRONG.
Yes, the system is tough, my dearest Bohemian. But see? That's the point - the system WORKS.
It works by weeding-out all the mediocre, selfish, scatter-brain, psuedo-intellectual misfits who refuse to heed to polite requests by mods to take a moment to reconsider their bitter words of hate, and retaining those who may not be perfect, but are willing to accept and rise to the challenge of doing as much as they can to iron-out any flaws within them.

as for the other.....well, we're all going to have fun with that, aren't we? |
Silly Lop. The nerve you had to assume Gayboy to be some sell-out who will choose you in favor over being a responsible, honest, sincere mod. Haw, haw, haw.
This proves you are all about taking sides and stomping on those who dare disagree with you, then favor them when they submit to your twisted, neurotic, tiresome attitude.
I regret ever saying bad things about J.P.. He's proved himself unbiased despite your magical change of heart regarding his worth as a mod. I love this forum's mods.
Gayboy's response to Loppy's post above;
| Gayboy wrote: | Loppy, I shall say thank you. If it hadn't been for your recommendation and that of another poster (I forget who, and I'm too lazy to look them up) I would not have applied. (Yes everyone, blame Loppy, it's all her fault )
When I return from training, beware or I shall be handcuffing all you 'orrible miscreants together and putting you up before the 'beak'! |

I have no problem with Gayboy as a poster. We don't always see eye to eye, but I thought he would be a good mod. I still think he would be a good mod in a smaller, more unified situation (which I said yesterday). Its very difficult to moderate a forum like this, and I appreciate that. Its especially difficult when some of its members are rampantly crazy. Like you, for instance.

What hes saying is everyone deserves equal treatment. Unless they've chosen to protest the running of the system. In which case they don't. Do you know anyone who marched in London against the war? Would you like them to be treated as a lesser citizen because of it? Don't think so.

"Except the spammers" does not mean that people should be treated differently for protesting the running of the system. The problem with spamming is not whether or not it was done to make a point - it's that, regardless of the purpose of it, it's disruptive and is very clearly against the rules of the forum - rules that have been made public for quite a while, which everyone is aware of and which no one has objected to. That's what distinguishes it from people who marched in London against the war - those marching weren't doing anything wrong, and were exercising their legitimate right to protest.
People who chose to exercise their right to protest by rioting, or digging up public parks to throw clods of earth or stones at police and passersby, or blowing up buses - those people ARE treated differently. The reason for treating them differently is not because they choose to protest - it's that they choose to act in a way that's inappropriate. And in our microcosmic m.n world, THAT'S the behaviour that equates directly to "spamming to make a point".

First of all, I do see you point. I still think mines better though
1) Using your spammers to rioters comparison - even after a rioter is recognized and punished for their 'crime', they're still and equal member of society. They still get the same treatment under the law as anyone else. The reason I pointed this out is that I feel it supports that claim that GB doesn't tend to mind as much if the person not being treated well is one of the 'stronger' members of the forum. Please see Quiques repeated abuse of Loppy and I and others who are 'vicious', 'brutal', 'disposable', 'mediocre' etc.
2) You could see the metaphor that way - illegal vs legal. I however, would choose to compare the relative effects they produce. Spamming by bumping old threads is impeding the traffic of the forum. Causing a block in the flow of how someone uses this place. Not unlike a protest march blocks traffic, forcing somone who otherwise would overlook a cause to take notice.
Yes, we could have started a thread to make our point, but would that have worked, in terms of getting other people thinking about this? No.
Yes, we could have just said what we wanted to say, and perhaps one should just be content with that. But I'm not, sorry. I'm a crusader at heart. I also have disturbing anarchist tendencies. Its a problem I'm working through.
I guess I don't see bumping old threads as spamming, the same way flooding the place with new random threads is. I'm not saying its not spamming, and its not wrong, but is there no distinction between what we did, and someone like that crazy fetus person who terrorized the board a while back? Maybe not, but I like to think so.
So which did you prefer JP, the 'spamming protest', or the 'revolution'?

in both the real world and m.n world, though, there are consequences to that. There's nothing in the real world to stop me choosing to protest how much my council tax is by barricading the doors of the tax office and parading around outside it with a loudspeaker; I am able to do that, but I know that the "price" of it would be to be arrested and charged. If I choose to do it anyway, I don't have any right to complain that I'm subsequently penalised.

The postings policy includes "posting porn or other obscene images" as its own separate rule. However, if you come to the forum because you posted a thread asking for advice about what you're going to sing for an audition, and that's what you're interested in reading but you can't find it amongst dozens of other nonsense threads, I don't think it would annoy you less.
| Quote: | | So which did you prefer JP, the 'spamming protest', or the 'revolution'? |
While I actually prefer it when we argue about something other than how the board is run (it's a teeny bit post-modern for me, and debating over what rules are or should be is what I do as my 9 to 5), the "revolution" had showtunes quotes and was all about ME, both of which are obvious plus points.

You know, I have nothing here. Actually, that's not true. I always have something to say.
Sorry I missed the protest. Last December was fun, but as of late m.net has been a veritable suckfest where the intellectual standard has been Quique and posts about ice cream. Excuse me, ICE CREEEEEAAAMMMM!!!!11!!!!!. Thanks, but I'll pass.
I'm sitting here in pjs, eating pancakes, and it seems pretty obvious to me. You have one side calling for change, and another saying that no change is needed.
Now I realize that not EVERYONE wants change, but a large section of the senior population (I'm talking in terms of years at m.net, not importance) thinks the same way I do.
I realize that certain mods believe that it's not a big deal that the people with actual real theatre knowledge are leaving... that others will either return or take their place, but I don't think so. If, when I joined a year ago there had been no Loppy, Howdy (coincidentally, she and I joined on the same day), Evan, La Boheme, Kad, Fontineau, Lakme, JP and the like (I think Cairon was on a haitus then, but if not, include him in the list) I don't think I would have stayed. Why? Nothing to hold my interest. Sorry, but there's not a whole lot I have in common with most 15 year-olds (sorry, Kad).
Like I said, I've barely visited m.net in the past month or so... yet here I am in my pjs (pancakes are now finished) typing a post that might almost (almost) rival one of JP's.
As for my feelings about the mods in general, JP - keep up the fantastic job, just stop hiding so much in Spain. GayBoy... man, you do favor the underdog which isn't a terrible thing, someone needs a champion, but be aware of it. You saying that there isn't / shouldn't be a hiarachy exemplifies that. Be more impartial, and you'll be fine. Aimee and Beagle... well, try to learn a few things from the other two, will you?

I agree. And I'm not complaining about being penalised. I'm complaining about being called a coward, and being told that I'm considered less deserving of respectful treatment than the other 'equal' members of the forum.
Penalise away. I'm frankly surprised I don't have a strike. Unless I have one and no ones told me.

True, 23 said the modding was good or exemplary. 17 said it was fair, poor, or reprehensible. That's still a lot of people who think that it wouldn't hurt to make some changes. However, I didn't vote, and like our good friend Nick O Las says, the poll isn't scientific. The mods could've voted, people could've voted for a choice multiple times, whatever.

Just look at the posts before this past week. ZZZZZZZzzzzzzz.
MNET minus The Evan's, Loppy, Lakme, Howdy, Ciarön, La Boheme, Valentin and others is still informative, but not much fun.

My thoughts on the mods: I fully respect a desire for some sort of order here. It's perfectly reasonable for a forum to have moderators. Most of the time, the mods here do a pretty good job.
What I feel is the problem is the way so many people have effectively been run off, whether by banning or whether they were just sick of the moderating and wanted to leave. Loppy is one of the sweetest, most mature, and most intelligent people here--though I didn't take her up on the offer, she was willing to drive an hour and a half out of her way to give me a ride when I got to the Boston airport after Katrina earlier this year.
Ciaron and I don't see eye to eye on most things, but he's one of the most intelligent people on here (whether about musicals or things in general) and one of the few posters knowledgeable enough and willing to discuss more than just Les Mis, Wicked, and the other big-name shows. I probably had more disagreements with him than just about anyone else on this board and I seldom had a problem with his behavior.
Evan Grubbs is one of the most entertaining, honest, and interesting posters here. He's often quite, ahem, blunt, but that's hardly a bad thing.

Truth is that I'm right. If any school admin EVER read your posts you would be out of a job so fast it would make your head swim. And you would, quite probably, never get another job with children again.
This is the atmosphere of the schools these days - better safe than sorry. We live in an age where even parent volunteers are subjected to criminal background checks.
So go ahead and keep posting pictures of yourself along with constant talk of sex, spankings, thongs, and trannies.
If you can't see where that could possibly compromise you professionally, you deserve whatever catches up with you down the road.

And I can promise you that if any education professional or involved parent saw the posts that you make - and were able to trace it to you - your future working with children could be HIGHLY compromised.
People have a strange way of not wanting sexual perverts in the school system. Speaking as an educator, I'm telling you that if you truly value the future of your career, you will not be so quick to put pictures of yourself on the internet alongside posts about sexual fetishes. |

You are steadily losing the respect I had for you before. I don't say that to be mean, and I don't say it because I think you will particularly care about my opinion, I say it because it's true.
Lately, this board has not been the most fun place to be. The after effects of the "trolling incident" as I choose to call it, have left a vaguely uncomfortable air around here. It seems as though there are more debates than ever, becoming in turns, childish and insulting. The board was never perfect, but I've never feared before that I would offend someone by something I posted. And now I'm not sure what I can say without getting someone mad at me.

You work with children.
You have aspirations to be certified to teach someday.
And yet you constantly post things about wearing women's undergarments and getting spankings from 'sweet trannies'
And not only do you do that, but you post pictures of yourself and other identifying information.
While the kids that you work with may be too young to be on this board, their parents are not. School administrators are not. Fellow professionals are not. And I can promise you that if any education professional or involved parent saw the posts that you make - and were able to trace it to you - your future working with children could be HIGHLY compromised.
People have a strange way of not wanting sexual perverts in the school system. Speaking as an educator, I'm telling you that if you truly value the future of your career, you will not be so quick to put pictures of yourself on the internet alongside posts about sexual fetishes. |
Aww, thanks for your concern Lop.
Only someone as stupid and childish as you would maliciously claim my sense of humor to be a sexual fetish.
I would have something to worry about if it were indeed an actual fetish of mine, my dearest half-wit, but all I have to worry about is making sure you know you're a scatter-brain jerk.
Now go back to shaving your back and leave me alone.
Love ya. |
She's actually absolutely right.
I hadn't thought of it, before, because I never bothered to put two and two together to realize that you actually do work with children.
There is definitely the potential for your position to be questioned if anyone found your posts, which it is highly unlikely they would, but still.
She's right. |
No. She's wrong. Let me tell you why...
...because it is NOT a fetish.
I've talked about trannies at work with my co-workers, while the kids are away...they think it's hilarious. Especially the vice principal, who happens to be family.

You would think that this would be a good thread not to lock, but it seems to me that we've covered what we're going to cover, and continuing would lead us closer than we've already come to something bad. If anyone disagrees and feels it should be unlocked, please feel free to talk to me or another mod about that.
