requesting my post be changed back from a mod-lol comedy edit to its original form

btw this is now on IMP because mod req is for 3 post threads like "hey please edit my poll" "sorry we cant" "oh ok", not whatever this is turning into

jhosh i am a product of the zingwars i seen some things ..... I ain't never goin back there man never

is the irony that you had the ability to make this one of those threads lost on you?

his post to k3vin prob applies to you too

ha dude i didnt even get here until 60 posts in you cant pin this one on me

well he can pin the fact that his post still isn't back to normal on basically every mod who read this thread

otm

jjj if you'd kindly change this post so that it reads: ""but yo, mods deleting their own posts is nagl" i'd be much obliged, you can lock this thread and everything

also DO NOT delete forks' post following it ^_^

thanks whoever did it

sure, i dont give a shit xpost

tbh tho doing a mod req and then following it up with even a jokey strip this mod of powars is also nagl for other mods stepping in

point taken, but please dont mistake ppls concerns about forks' abuse of powers as "jokey"

dont think anyone was joking abt that

so, what lessons did we learn from this entire phenomenon?

i learned that mods are still dicks years after i hung up my lawyer badge

*gazes forlornly at badge hook*

i learned that good looks are hard to carry off

i wasnt going to assume either way re: jokey or not fyi xposts

there's a thing about a boy who cried wolf

I like how gr80's stance is "all mods are dicks" AND "community stuff like sb is bad"

cool like

aloh thursday

dont be a dick, remy. forks edited my post to say the exact opposite of what i wrote. literally every edit he's made to a thread title has been met w/ groans and requests to undo the change

and he does shit like that all the time thats always met w/groans, its like the boy who cried wolf except theres always wolfs

velvet undergrowl?

full disclosure: i assumed you didnt really care and were just trying to stir shit/fuck around w/forks like the facebook thread (i think this is what remy was getting at)

all of us, 24/7?

kinda scrolled this thread but it should be noted that while maybe we do need more comedy mod edits we certainly don't need more comedy mod edits from forksclovetofu

ok fine, that's kind of unfair but i'll take that as an occupational hazard. however, but lets not ignore the issue at hand

gr8080, i kind of agree w/ u baot various mod edits being unfair, but the fact that you spend a lot of time on the 'all mods are stupid' kick makes me/others not pay attention to your legitimate requests.

There are around 800,000 cops in America. Something like 30,000 cases of police brutality reported in 2006. You have to assume that some of those are false, but you also have to assume that some don't get reported, so I'm fine with 30,000. That's like 3%. Now obviously, a number of those cases of police brutality are going to be attributable to the same bad cop. So, less than 3%. That's a goddamned good rate!

again its kind of unfair for you to take several different instances of me singling out a specific mod/action as me claiming "all mods are stupid".

will someone please explain to me what it is like to be a mod

like how does it make you feel to be a mod

personally I get really irritated with the whole "cops are regular people just doing their jobs" schtick - the kind of people who want to be cops, in general, are violence-prone authority-fetishists.

It makes me feel like a janitor at a junior high school.

gr8080, you have called me a dick in the last ten minutes! And you expect me to be sympathetic to you. And you know what? I am. I think/hope that I engage with you whenever you want, I think it's an imp. part of being a mod. And I think you, k3vin, max, et al. all bring up a lot of very good points, and I'm glad you challenge things – it keeps shit honest – but when you (plural, not singling you out, or even highlighting you) do so with stereotyped logic and broad strokes it makes me unwilling to pay a lot of heed to the more valid parts of your arguments.

*sigh*

*shrug*

somebody check the locker rooms for hidden cameras.

remy i called you a dick because you were painting me with broad brushstrokes and applying stereotyped logic to my argument; i didnt call you a dick because you are a mod.

srs level of irony in your last post is killing me

Grady next time you call for a utopian board where everyone is unbanned and everyone can just have fun and be dicks to one another with impunity it's probably worth remembering that time you threw your toys out of the pram because someone decided to be a dick to you. Albeit in a fairly mild and harmless way. Generally speaking though, I don't think mods editing other people's posts is really on, but the irony here is amusing.

well those things to tend to be less fun when theres a power disparity

I vote that every gr80 post be edited by mods

im sure if you made grady a mod and said nbd edit forks posts all you like hed be in a better mood

maybe every day he is assigned to a different mod to make things more straightforward

pro tip for getting along on ILX: don't call people dicks!
