Let's Talk About The Negativity On OO

It's no secret that the negativity caused me to leave for a while there.

But I know I was being rash myself and the ban request was on the dramatic side.

I think you're right that it would help if the moderators stepped in more often but not in that laying down the law way you get on Reddit.

& what exactly do you want us mods to do?
pick a side?
pet your head telling everything is ok?
give you a hug?
give you a lollypop?
ban everyone who breathed in your general direction?
read you a bedtime story until the mean comments go away?

Wait, I know,
we can open a 24-hour hotline dedicated solely to everyone's grievances
how about that!

We can stop the argument, but it's going just implode and end up in another thread that we may not be looking at...
 
I don't want peace I want problems!

a hug really would do every now and then though

I thought the free lollypops were for staff only. :(

My word choice there wasn’t the best when I said mods should step in more often so that’s not at all what I was suggesting but I completely agree.
 
why isnt this nigga @Bob online more often lol

made my day hhahah
If I mingle in, people are going to say I'm taking sides
If I stay silent, people are going say Mods are not doing anything
If I post every now & then, people are going say I do not know the community at all.
If I defuse things privately, people are going say "why me"
If i defuse things publicly, people are going say i am abusing my authority.
If I follow the rules to the letter, people are going to say I’m a power tripping.
If I joke around, people are going to say I’m not taking the situation seriously.
If I’m professional, people are going to say I’m a dick.
If I ask for your input, people are going to say I'm favoring certain people.

so outta all the evils, i just have to pick that won't keep me up at night...

its not that deep
just do your job as @1974Mustang said slacker !!
 
Jokes aside, mods can comment when things are about to explode. It's usually pretty easy to tell.
Not lock the thread because this will just explode somewhere else, but silence members for an hour or two to cool off isn't a bad idea if someone stepped over the line.

I don't think mods should be on the hunt for these scenarios but if something get reported it's definitely a tool that should be utilized. Most of you guys know what I'm talking about.

And a hug, of course. A sugar-free lollipop is also acceptable.

Had to be done

 
I agree with the OP and the first page.

The second page makes me wonder if I missed some drama or if ironic sarcasm in a thread about positivity is going over my head.

Anyway, it's a nice thought, Z, and a welcoming atmosphere is good for growth.

I hope to switch niches and contribute more soon. My stupid slave job is zapping my energy right now, but that's my motivation to build something better.
