Something fishy on DU
MadameLavender said:Val,
First of all, it is not my sole decision on the fate of the account in question. I said I would be requesting removal and that means I can’t do it myself —I need the other mods & Webmiss to give input and act upon it. Not all the mods log in on a daily basis , so ultimately it will be up to the Webmiss .
As far as opinion , just because I’m a mod, doesn’t mean I’m not allowed to have an opinion —we are not robots that are computer programmed to check the ban or don’t ban , box, whenever a post is registered in on the site. Opinion has to come into play in determining if something indeed is ban -worthy or not.
Pets comment—my condolences on your own pet. I have lost pets too.
Assholes and sandboxes—sorry, the behavior I put those with, is indeed worthy of being not just an asshole , but also the hair around it. Some people need it spelled out bluntly for them in order to understand where we’re coming from, so blunt it was.
Frankly I’m fully fed up with the same issues and fights that keep arising despite prior bans, mod intervention , etc .
Is it ever going to end?
Only one comment that would be one of your duties as a mod (should) be to moderate forums for violations like libel heated arguments slander, name calling and immediately delete them
You should Ihave a program that would use highlighted code words that would do some of the work for you.
No questions just delete the comments
You should be legitimately paid it's not an easy job.
I understand your reply completely and thank you for taking my criticism with such grace

Being a moderator is by no means , easy...
Nor have I ,, as a member here *ever* been perfect...
Sometimes I have posted when I should not have ,
or said things I should have thought about more...
We are all susceptible to *assholiness*
There does need to be a point where we set boundaries ,
and declare what is deemed impermissible for the site...
If I were a moderator ( Goddess Forbid ! ) , there would
be a number , even among the "protected" , I would most
definitely recommend banning from this site...
( or at the least , warning them , very seriously to temper down )
( let alone , learn how to f***ing spell English )
But *that* is *me*...
Just be glad I am *not* a mod...
So , if someone truly oversteps boundaries ,
and does so persistently , let hell rain down
on them , and may it do so with my blessing...
If , however , they change their behavior , in
a mutually agreed upon fashion , worthy of
membership parameters of respect , I say
let them remain members , and contribute
their words , and poetry , and creativity to
this site , and its positive growth...
This is now in the hands of the site management ,
and those who choose to disagree...
I do believe I know how it shall turn out...
So Be It

Sorry man, you spoke of people and writing English properly, and them commas stick out like a sore thumb lol.
I must say though, I am guilty for not writing that good sometimes. I shouldn’t sit up and write while I’m tired lol

Actually , if you check a properly demonstrated website ,
you would find every comma I used to be absolutely correct ,
and not out of context , or balance...do proper research ,
my friend...before speaking , not after...much love !

I’ve just never seen it like that in an actual book, or on an actual document of law. But okay.

Pick up any book, and see if you can spot a comma in the middle of two words. Much love.
Regardless of context , improper English is never correct...
Perhaps you need to research more , or choose your reading material more carefully...
And please research proper English via 1954 , when English was English , not some
perverted version of true language , which has happened since then...

So a comma in the middle of two words is proper English?
Next it’s gonna be capital letters at the end of a sentence and not the start lol.

What do you thinks gonna happen if I go to a publisher, and they see my commas like yours?

Is this book you’re referring to an English book, or an American who’s wrote it? Because the way Americans write certain words isn’t English lol.
They will either be intelligent , and recognize correct
rendering of language , or be incoherent and mentally
deficient , and attempt to declare me incorrect...
And I would have no problem telling them so ,
to their face , is that clear enough , my friend ?
