[serious] Off Topic Moderation Input - Part 2

[MikeH]

What's the point to having a thread closed if it doesn't wind up in the Hall of Fame?

Kind of my view about the Closed Threads forum.

[Thoth]

I think Mike is on a work-to-rule campaign. I don't think Plomp pays him enough.

Mr. Plumpie doesn't pay any of us enough.

[Thoth]

He closed it but failed to move it to the "Closed Threads" forum

Half-assed job.

Sloww must be paying them for permanent top billing... sell-outs

You moderate by random accident. It's also a way of moderating.

I'd like to go on record as saying that Mike has been deliberately moderating in a way that is admirably masterful and decisive. He deliberately closed a thread which was full of smutty pointless drivel, and rapidly getting worse. Yes, he closed it on purpose. This was a measure which will go far to reducing the danger of any casual visitors forming a correct impression of the OT.

Who are you calling a slag?

[notyoueither]

Actually, the control rods were removed and we melted down.

All that is left is the slag of elements serving out their half-lives.

Moderation levels have been detected 7.5 million times the recommended safe levels.

[The Mad Monk]

Like in a nuclear reactor -- you stick moderators in there and hope for the best.

[MikeH]

This is why I don't moderate stuff.

[SlowwHand]

What a stoner.

[The Mad Monk]

Certainly did at the time.
