Moderators

[Puppi]

What's with this newest attack on Lit? I thought you were a MATURE adult and knew how to keep things private. You hate me and I do not like you. We will never agree on things, but I have kept things quiet. Why can't you? Are you this desperate for attention that you have to keep stirring shit in hopes a blow out happens "publicly"?? Grow up already. I could care less what you think of me, but I am NOT an "it". There are member's of Lit's board who have spoken to me on the phone. Not to mention, I've had a personalized thread on the pic board where I was taking requests. People here know I am a woman. Get over it already. There's no need to act like a child at Lit all the time.




P.S.
Loveto read, Linnet has never once made sense in any post she has ever made. It gets old and tiring.

What's the name change Tiggs????

Too many handles, to keep track of......

Mods are pretty much chosen on their abilities to the do the job in accordance with Laurel's guidelines. Excepting the BDSM forum (which is its own world) and the Story Discussion Circle (again its own world), the moderators are not facilitators.

This means that the mods do not post in the forum as a "moderator," they post in the forum as a regular member. In most forums moderators move out-of-topic threads to the appropriate forum; remove spam; remove the threads where post(s) have broken the rules, such as death threats, minors, or posting another user's personal information. Mods are not permitted to edit or delete another person's post for any reason whatsoever outside of the BDSM forum. Laurel is the only person who does that.

The moderator does not settle disputes. The moderator does not remove trolls. The moderator does not deal with harassment. The moderator does not dictate anything that happens in that forum. Outside of the BDSM forum.

So, essentially unbunch your panties. Even I can be a moderator. Tiggs--whom I am not terribly fond of--did a wonderful job as a moderator in the past. When she left the forum went to hell in a handbasket. It was after she left that the forum required Manu to intervene to fix it satisfactorily. This is why Tiggs is a good moderator. She does what's needed to be done without using her powers to do what is not allowed to be done.

It's tempting to edit a troll's post. But we're not allowed to. I have my doubts that most of the people hanging around in the Playground could do that.

If you have any complaints about what Tiggs has done specifically as a moderator, please air them now. I'd like to know how she's abused her moderator powers in any way. Now don't make something up because I know she hasn't and I will require proof.

When I changed to Masters_pet, I did it simply because I felt it was time for a change. I had been Tiggs for a bit over two years. (I had been Tiggs77, or a close variation, in other corners of the net since '95.) I felt it was time for a change. I felt Masters_pet was a perfect name since my Fiance calls me "His pet" and since I love Him. Well, a few weeks back He and I moved in together. I cancled my AOL account that had Tiggi77 on it, and He and I started a joint account. My new AOL name became MastersPuppiPet. I wanted a name that "matched" on Lit. I started a thread on the board I hung out on the most "apologizing" about the new name change yet again.

I know there are some, if they still hang out here, who would create a new name every time they hit 1000 posts. Also, many people wanted a new name and had Laurel do it so they could keep their post numbers and whatnot. I figured I wouldn't do that to Laurel and that I could start from scratch.


As to KM's comment to Linnet... I have done nothing to "abuse" my Mod title. Linnet & Charm seem to hate me because I have not bent over backwards to kiss their asses over in Story Ideas. I won't go into the details since anyone who knows how to use Lit can do a search for Linnet's posts in that board. Just have a bottle of pills ready for that headache.

Thank you.

I noticed that no one in the Playground has a problem with it. Just a few people in a forum that has no moderator and probably never will.

Go figure.

 

[Sandia]

We don't have mods on the GB.
Life is good that way.

I am THE Mod-er-ate-'er of the

GB...

Sorry. I know it's been said before.. I couldn't help but say it again...

 

[Puppi]

Long before I got my Mod position in the Personals the first time, I asked Laurel if she wanted someone in Story Ideas. Often time it seems like that board is turning into another Gen or "Playground". And, with yayati lurking in that board, now, it's a regular "troll fest to ruin people's ideas".

 

[KillerMuffin]

You can't kill the trolls anyway.

The best you can do is ignore yayati. If people don't respond to him, he will go away. We've proven that here.

If he gets terribly irritating, quote indian incest stories at him. It drives him insane. No, wait, that'll incite him more. Just put him on ignore.

 

[Puppi]

That's what I suggested to others, as well. That's when he wracked up 4 pages in a story idea about "Indians Vrs. blacks" in all NEW guest names. He also posted one: tiggs aka puppi. Luckily not a single person replied to him there, and the thread is almost burried.

 

[lilminx]

I don't know why the bitching, but I have never found Tiggs (Puppi) to be unjustifiably rude to anyone.

Oh, and Tiggs, if MsLinnet's other posts are anything like the one she posted in this thread, I'd rather NOT do a search to see what she's about- lol. I'd need more painkillers for that.

 

[Never]

No. I am the mod. ME!

I keep on asking Laurel to make me a mod so I can teach people the meaning of fear.. I told her to hand the entire BB to me for a week so people could appreciate her even handed approach.

But would she? Noooooo.

Go figure.

Probably because ...

following the direction by Puppi to the thread originator to leave the Stories Ideas forum because she didn't believe him to be 18, this question was asked by another poster in the Stories Ideas forum:

Are you really the moderator here, Puppi?

And then ... answered this way in the Stories Ideas forum:

Yes, I am a Mod here.

After which, objections were made:

Sorry to hear that. I really enjoy a free and open forum. When people get put down and made fun of for unusual requests, an atmosphere of intolerance prevails. Regrettably, I'm out of here.

Seems like a reasonable gripe in the Stories Ideas forum (where there are not suppose to be moderators) ... hmmm?

That would kinda be like if a designated moderator from a different forum came into the GB to throw some weight around (read here: assume overall authority when questioned), instead of letting the board take care of business?

I would resent it, too.

 

[Puppi]

Never once did I try to "throw some weight around" in the Story Ideas board. And never once did I think Axel was asking me if I was a Mod "here" as in the Stories board. I thought he meant "here" at Lit.

Response from the GB to mod popping up and trying to 'throw weight around':

*point*
*laugh*
*repeat*

Tiggs has no power in the Story section, so what are you complaining about? Go back to your argument and ignore her posts if you don't like them.

 

[Guest]

... & Charm seem to hate me because I have not bent over backwards to kiss their asses over in Story Ideas. ...

Speaking strictly for myself and not for Linnet:

Do not flatter yourself, I don't hate you. I scarcely feel anything but a little pity for someone who is never wrong. The first time I encountered Tiggs was when (s)he posted advoice to someone else on a Lit thread that "he probably doesn't know what he is talking about".

The idea that you can announce yourself as a moderator on Story Ideas and not be believed to be claiming to moderate on that forum is clearly nonsense.

I will continue to use "(s)he" to refer to anyone on here about whom I have no knowledge of their sex. It is impossible to emphasise too strongly the caution needed on the net. There is no way to tell what information posted on any board is true and what is false without non-internet corroboration by a trusted third party, or by personal knowledge. That includes what I have posted.

I hope this clears up any misconceptions you may have that I harbour any animosity towards you. I do find it odd that people think you are a good moderator, but I do not use the fora you control, so I cannot really judge.

 

[Cherry]

Ouuuuuuu!

Tiggs has no power in the Story section, so what are you complaining about? Go back to your argument and ignore her posts if you don't like them.

That was harsh, Never!

My argument? I don't have an argument. I made a simple point (referrencing KM's "go figure") that Tiggs gave the impression that she had moderator powers in the Story Ideas forum when asked if she did. Maybe you should reread my post.

As for ignoring posts that I don't like, I usually try to be more openminded than being openly critical without fully understanding what was said.

I'm entitled to my opinion, as you are to yours.

 

[Puppi]

I should have continued to ignore Charm. I am sorry for my part in having this bull shit continue.

Mack, Ren, Raven, Pooh...if any of you are still around, tell this dick I'm a woman.

The word is "gender" and she already told you, as did other people.

If you're not convinced, who cares?

It makes your posts difficult to read so just pick a gender and stick to it, whether you fully believe it or not.

As for the "caution" you feel you need about trusting information; does her gender really affect you?

Please.

 

[KillerMuffin]

Sometimes people think that what they meant to say bears more weight than what people believe they said. This is not so.

Tiggs should make it clear on that thread, if she hasn't already, that she's got no power, no influence, and no say in what goes on in the story ideas forum above and beyond what anyone else does.

Beyond her being the way she always is, I'm not really seeing a problem.
