Export thread

Seems that this week just keeps getting better and better.

Due to the insanity yesterday, ElJuski has received a 1 point infraction for trolling and has stepped down as a mod.

I've always stood behind my mods in whatever they did but yesterday when he used the health issues of a person as a weapon against them it was mean-spirited and out of line. He realized it when he did it and he even posted in the mod forum that he was being extreme in trying to prove a point and that he'd accept the consequences.

I waited until things calmed down today to speak with him about it and we decided that it would be in the best interest of all of us if he stepped aside. It was not a spur of the moment decision, it is not a retaliatory action. But we as mods are to be held to the same level of conduct as you. In fact, I think we should be held to a higher level. But if I let certain people get away with things that I take others to task for then I end up looking like a hypocrite and having rules would be nothing more than a humorous subpage of the boards.

I dislike doing things in the heat of the moment because it makes for bad decisions. Yesterday forced my hand a lot and I hated it but did what needed to be done. There were others who also acted badly and got nothing, but these things can't always be helped when stuff is moving here and at my work, which is what I was dealing with at the time.

In any event, ElJuski is not in an active role as a mod any longer, but Gusto has agreed to take on the mantle. Give him a few days to get his bearings and don't be too hard on the guy.

Questions and concerns can be voiced here, but I'd really like to keep it civil. I got my icon all fired up and ready to go and I'm not afraid to use it!

Here's to ElJuski and to Gusto

:falldown:

YOU'RE A LOOSE CANNON JUICE


YOU'RE OFF THE CASE


HAND IN YOUR BADGE AND WEAPON

Sorry I was a partial catalyst to that Juice.

Glad to see Gusto being the replacement choice though, well decided.

Gusto, eh?

Finally a good friend on the inside!

*runs rampant!*

locking threads with gusto

Today is the day that CDS made me laugh out loud. The calendar has been marked.

It's a shame that yesterday's shenanigans led to this, but it sounds like it was handled with cool heads and maturity. Hopefully, we will see board peace in our time.

:aaahhh:

stop the ride, I wanna get on.

I've noticed a huge outburst of drama and negativity once ZenMonkey left our fold. Without her calming presence and authority, the trolls went out in full force.

DUN DUN DUN!

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Dave and moderators.

I'll do my best.

I keep hearing about ZenMonkey leaving, but cannot find any concrete source for such things. Despite a powerful need for denial, is there any chance of someone filling me it?

I blame myself and my recent absences. Without your resident pariah and villain present for you to vent your frustrations upon, you have turned on each other.

In retrospect I may have been harsh in my admonition of ElJ and while I don't think it require stepping down, if it was agreed to by both sides, I'll support it and Gusto.

I search for ZenMonkey and miss this? Sheesh. Thanks for the link. I'll be quietly weeping in the corner.

I, for one, do not support Gusto! GUUUUUSSSSSTOOOOOOO!!!!! :doom:

I wish there was a good way to bring levity to not only this thread, but the entire board.

When did people stop being polite and start being real?

This thread is not necessary. But have you seen the Paint thread? It's killing me!

No. :humph:

ban me gusto


ban me harder

Just for the record, it's not like I was an active or good moderator anyway It's been a matter of time to step down. I just had to make an asshole move against Chaz to make it official.

Alas, I AM NOW ONLY MORTALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Oh, man.

I got a warning for posting asterisks. Most of my favorite posters are gone. Admins, please ban my account for a month. No kidding. I'm sure I could easily rack up the points necessary on my own, but I doubt that would be conducive to the unicorn ranch you guys are building. I'll check back later to see if it's in effect, then I'm out.

Oh man guys guess what.

This awesome new hat just came in the mail.

Wait we have a unicorn ranch? I thought only virgins could see unicorns.... so is that an insult or a complement?!

Bye.

If this is a unicorn ranch, consider me disillusioned.

UNICORN POWER ~~~~

Death to all things Radical!

nsfw- i suppose

My Halforums face:

So were does the prophet come from in having a unicorn ranch? seeing as a majority of the population wouldn't be able to see them, and there's not enough 8year old girls with rich dadies to keep it running.

The prophet was clearly predicting that if we built a unicorn ranch, they would come.

I would also like to welcome our new moderator with Gusto.

Why, from amongst the unicorns, of course, to spread the Good News about how hay is good and humans having sex... isn't. May have problems with the horn getting in the way of the halo, though.

... Wait, did you mean 'profit'?

I'm horny

awesome, I'm going to exploit this way more than I ever exploited being friends with ElJuski when he was a mod.

Does this thread need more Bruce?

Oh man, Ame delivers the lols.

I'm doing it wrong?

Is iti morally wrong to want to have that unicorn?

Excellent, with Gusto as a mod, we now have a Canadian in a position of power. Our evil plan for Halforums.ca is right on schedule!
MWAHAHAHAHAHA!

On a serious note, sucks Juski had to step down but it sounds like everyone's being civil and its not like he was forced, and as long as he's still stickin' around, I don't see anything to be upset about.
