Why would a moderator not immediately trash any report that came from the Game of Thrones thread? Its not like they're selling drugs in that thread. At worst, they're maybe--MAYBE--spoiling a decade-old book with no ending.

99% of the reports from that thread are trashed. About the same percentage as the rest of this forum. People report a lot of petty stuff. But on occasion there are things that have to be dealt with. I doubt you'll ever be in the position to hash that stuff out though. When you get put on staff I see it being as admin and you'll be above all that kind of stuff.


Also good luck Annakie. My PM box is full and I can't find the delete button, so you're on your own. Sorry! Have fun though!

Terror is nothing other than justice, prompt, severe, inflexible; it is therefore an emanation of virtue; it is not so much a special principle as it is a consequence of the general principle of democracy applied to our forum's most urgent needs.

No need to get passive aggressive, I'm not trying to backseat mod or anything. Its just that I ask myself whenever someone says how hard it is being a mod, "why would anyone take this poo poo seriously?"

Obviously other sub forums have different issues I'm sure, but I think the only way it would be hard to mod TVIV is if the mod made it hard on themselves through their behavior. TVIV by and large runs itself well with no intervention from me or OSG. I think you'll find that Annakie will be pretty much the same way as well. Like I said a while back I think a good mod is just a traffic cop that keeps the traffic moving. Not one that's running in between cars trying to cause wrecks.

I plan on trying to be exactly the kind of mod Deadpool and OSG have been and as far away from Aatrek as possible in every single way. I solemnly swear I have never raped anyone.

I'm thinking about maybe doing some more fun threads like the "Review an episode of a show you've never seen" thing, I've got some ideas but I need a few weeks to get on my feet first.

A friend of mine sat me down and showed me a couple episodes, and it's pretty good. I'm always wary of cop shows because god drat I am sick of case-of-the-week procedurals. Graceland put a lot more weight on the characters and it kept things interesting. Been meaning to finish up the season, just haven't had the motivation yet.

Yeah I'll actually make a thread for Rectify season 2 here in a day or two. A lot of people in the CD Netflix thread got into the show so hopefully more people will watch it this year.

e: Oh yeah there's a trailer. Probably don't watch unless you watched season 1 though:

I've realized that I'm a sucker for the whole "adjusting to the modern world" thing, whether it's a serious take like in Rectify or silly take like in Sleepy Hollow. I figure that's why I kinda liked the first episode of the 4400 and quickly got bored after that when it started focusing on everybody's super powers instead.

I watched that lost boys of sudan come to america documentary ("god grew tired of us" or something) for some sweet vicarious "adjusting to the modern world", but they didn't give a poo poo about the 'modern' world. It wasn't very satisfying.

If I was adjusting to 2034, I'd binge so much media that I'd die.

Graceland was pretty terrible last season. It tried way too hard to do the whole ~*SHADES OF GREY*~ thing and ended up just falling flat.

The only thing I'm kind of torn on with Rectify season 2 is bringing back a certain character, considering he had the most perfect exit imaginable in season 1.

I'm of course referring to the black fellow death row inmate in the flashbacks in season 1. On the one hand more of those is awesome, on the other hand it cheapens what felt like a complete arc and I'm not really sure the flashbacks needed to continue into season 2 at all.

Yup :) Season 1 was about her collaborating with other bounce artists, touring in Brazil, publicity stunts at home, her relationship with her mom who had cancer (who passed away in April :smith:), etc.

Season 1's finale almost played like a series finale so I didn't even know if the show would get renewed, but it did!
