CG I saw it all and the links along with that looked like over the pg13 standard to me espicially given how strict Proboards is. Which anybody should know after that whole thread about why the dark was deleted should not be posted. Anyways. I'll actually go try to get sleep or something. Since doing this on 2 hours sleep was probably what made me an idiot. Once more I am sorry Sirena. And whoever the moron is. Why not talk to the rest of us who these actions instead of hassling her. >.< Its just wrong. *agrees with prom on mobile yim now* >>

You should probably edit your rant and move it to the moderator board. Sure feel that stuff, but better to feel and vent in a place with people who understand your frustration and won't judge you for it when you go to moderate later.

I keep my mobile up because I do use the Y!M for some OOC friendships I've made that are not related to the game, because I don't think I can handle two accounts for those things.
This is what'll happen.
1. The original thread (Monica's severance post) will stay locked. 2. I believe I unlocked everything that was unfairly locked, if not, please PM me a link to the thread and tell me why it should not have been locked/moved/moderated. 3. Tomorrow, I will get started on a Staff Discussion on what is appropriate moderation and what isn't. Bite thrived off of minimal moderation and I want it to stay that way. 4. Any other sexually explicit material posted ever will result in a 3 day temp ban. That's MY decision. 5. I need a while to calm down because I'm way over-emotional, agitated, and upset. So I'm not maint-moding Bite, but I am going to sleep for a few hours, so please don't bug me. 6. Making lists calms me down.

The logical consequence, however, is that you're going to get messaged for every little thing whether you're at a concert, eating, sleeping, or dealing with a dead relative. You can't even say that you asked people not to contact you, because your status reads as "Available" to anyone logged into YIM, and the "mobile" part of the status doesn't show up on third-party IM apps OR older versions of YIM. Part of me really wants to be the point-proving asshole and send you some messages while you're sleeping, but I just can't bring myself to be quite that level of jerk. Considering this dramafest, though, whatever finally gets you to turn that thing off is ultimately in your best interests. I hope you rest well, and wake up with a clear enough head to see that you can't be on-call for a goddamn interweb chat board.

Nah. It's going off when I go to sleep (mobile that is, not my phone, so people who still have my number IE NOT YOU FREAKS can still reach me). I'll just make a different OOC Y!M later for the people I leave it on constantly for.
And please don't be a dick. I'm a bit tired and my parents' girlfriend is currently sleeping in our living room. Anxiety is not happy this weekend.

I have a question, and I'm sorry if it got answered in one of the really long posts (skimmed those). Is moderating being done IC? There are IC rules about how to act on the Bite, so it would make sense that a vampire could go to a vampire moderator to have something done in regards to those rules. How can we the players know (especially those that don't know peoples OOC names) if something is being done IC vs. OOC in regards to a thread?

How can we the players know (especially those that don't know peoples OOC names) if something is being done IC vs. OOC in regards to a thread? There are IC rules and OOC rules (which are separate) and so it would be a good idea to believe that moderating is both IC and OOC. Another thing that the mods apparently haven't realized yet, which I'll address today when I have my discussion about minimal moderating on the staff board, is that they need to sign either their IC or OOC name based on what kind of moderating they're doing. For instance, if Coquette moderates a vampire, I'll type Coquette at the end. If I moderate a player, I'll generally use a player's name and sign my own. And brackets. I've said this a few hundred times before so I had figured it was an obvious thing, but I'll do my best to make sure that's completely clear to everyone. >.<

Thats awesome Thanks for the quick answer. I thought of more questions though, I'm sorry. When it comes to seeing rule breaks that are both OOC/IC(the two that come to mind are IGN not being there, and sigs that are two big) should we just PM the admin account, or find a mod? Or just assume it will be seen by staff and dealt with?

Goddamn people. Really? 1. David should read TOS before posting stuff. No brainer. 2. Monica should stop putting her character into positions and then bitching OOC when things don't go the way she wants it to. Because face it; if Majica wouldn't have played monkey badass and threw things in Josie's face when Josie's comments were fairly tame in comparision to the others, it wouldn't have been countered at all. To have characters respond to comments made by another character is THE GAME, NOT harassment. At ANY point, Majica could have shut her mouth and walked away, but instead she had to have the last word. All the responses were brought on from that. I'm SO tired to the OOC card being pulled and utilized anytime the world of Majica is not going the way Monica wants it to. Seriously. This is what you've condemned with Tejas and you're doing the same thing. Just stop. 3. All of you complaining OOC that the thread was immature get this response from me. Fucking DUH. It's a GAME. There are going to be times that things get out of control in the IC world. Getting butthurt about it OOCly is grossly inappropriate and is crossing whether you like it or not. Leave IC IC. Leave OOC OOC. Making IC OOC is a no no. So those of you whining about how offended you are OOC because Majica was being harassed IN CHARACTER need to STFU. Really. 4. To the people who stalked the crap out of Sireena. Grow up and get a fucking life. Seriously. This wasn't an event that happened at 2 in the afternoon. It was overnight for a good chunk of posters here, which makes it even more astounding to me. Your vampire is NOT real life. If I was Sireena, I'd ban every fucking one of you from here for life since it's apparent that you cannot take "I'm not home" for an answer. 5. I'm not a mod, and I don't represent this forum. For those of you who DO represent this forum and are bitching and keeping this thread going (aka not Sirenna, btw), SHUT UP. Take your bitching to a private forum and stop making people read this and question whether or not you can be objective. Because right now, I'm not confident that some of you can. 6. I think all of you need to step back and make the realization that although there are moderators, they are also human and will make mistakes from time to time. Shit happens. Yelling at the administrator and accusing her of ruining the forum because she has humans working for her is completely inappropriate. So what if a thread stays locked for 3 or 4 hours before Sireena can show up to overrule? Hopefully, since Sireena has made her choices regarding how this situation will be resolved, that those who are acting butthurt OOC because a vampire stepped into the kitchen IC and got burned will STFU, that those who are complaining about the mods being terrible and guilttripping Sireena for whatever reason will STFU, and that the entire community as a whole will just FUCKING THINK before going batshit crazy OOC about IC things. My GAWD people. Every fucking month it's the SAME OLD SHIT. WHY? Really? ?

To Penny's player:
9 times out of ten I will see it first and contact that person. However, if you see a rule broken, don't hesitate to contact a mod. Sometimes we don't see everything and sometimes I'm just not here. In which case, the common sense thing is if something needs to be moderated because it breaks the rules, act as your own mod. Let the person know and THEN contact a moderator to follow up on it. Not everyone will catch everything and I certainly don't all the time, but I try.

A few thoughts, since I also happen to be a mod...
1) PMs is very cool way to discuss things... both ways.
2) It may, and will take some of us some time to learn how to be a good mod. Ranting in public, and telling Sirena how new mods suck is not going to make us be better mods. Shooting us a PM explaining why we should do things another way will.
3) This has been, is, and shall remain a game.
4) Vampires live and kill during the night. Humans sleep.
5) is the number of fingers in one hand.
6) I also like making lists.
7) dwarves got to sleep with snow white together. And we show that to kids? omygod!
8) is the number of arms of an octopus. Must be nifty to type messages!
9) I hope I got you smiling somewhere in this message.
10) I am serious.

I would like to take a moment and point out nothing in what I posted was explicit. Thanks. You posted the links here. The links led to explicit content.
