The Bridge

7:00 PM

@FAE I've played this. It's a fun game (Suika gave me the most trouble), but I feel that some sort of saving/continuing system might've nice, but the game's short for you to get by without it. Oh and the character art is very well done

FAE

@GraceNote I seem to have lost the vendor links you gave me a couple years ago, as I wanted to check prices. I was trying to find them in the transcript and failing.

badp

@StrixVaria I would like to say that I've reviewed @WorldEngineer's actions and they seem appropriate to me.

FAE

@Krazer Oh, you have to finish it in one sitting?

badp

I wish I personally was more sensitive to this kind of issues.

Also, having a little fun with your mod powers is part of the job description.

I want to stress that:

Grace Note

@FAE The vendor I used to use closed down in like 2011.

StrixVaria

@badp I didn't actually look back; he only changed it for like a minute so whatever. But it's not the first instance of him coming into this room and kind of acting like he owns the place.

badp

* There is no such thing as an "official arqade room"

Krazer

@FAE It is not very long, it should take ~20-30 minutes.

badp

* On chat all mods are equally so

...even if saying that undermines my authority because I'm one of hundreds rather than one of 5

FAE

7:07 PM

@Krazer Oh, okay, I didn't realize that.

@GraceNote Well, crap. I seem to remember you linking me to a page with various vendors listed, I think? Ugh, I can't find it.

Kevin van der Velden

@badp naah, now you can just go "we are mods, we are legion"

Grace Note

If I had something like that I'd still be importing.

Krazer

@KevinvanderVelden we are mob

Kevin van der Velden

@Krazer "resistance is futile, you will be mod-abused"?

FAE

@GraceNote Crap. Thanks anyway!

badp

7:10 PM

If you feel a ban is too heavy-handed, or too soft-handed, all you have to do is catch the attention of any other mod around

Krazer

@KevinvanderVelden you will be mod-mobbed.

Fluttershy

Fun fact: growing up in an area that doesn't usually see this much snowfall, I don't have a pair of boots for working in said snow. Clearing my truck off in tennis shoes is awful, and I can't feel my feets.

spugsley

hi peoples :3

Ben Brocka

I leave my boots in the trunk half the time which doesn't help when I need them to get to the car

badp

@Fluttershy :C

@badp Even if you are technically correct, it does not go over well in here when what is perceived as "outside mods" start flexing in here.

Fluttershy

@spugsley Hullo, lady.

badp

@Sterno fair enough, but when somebody starts being a complete ass and no arqade mods happen to be around, the other mods are your only hope. If you scare them away, they won't come to help.

Sterno

If I were a mod here, I expect it would likewise go over poorly if I headed over to The DMZ or something and started modifying their room.

badp

I can't tell you to like it

but I can tell you that if you think World Engineer overbanned some person, you can ask any other mod to act and release him sooner

and that's good!

Sterno

Also, dealing with problem users is an entirely different issue than editing people's messages or using room owner tools "for fun"

badp

7:15 PM

@Sterno The uglier the roar, the less likely it is that a mod will come to help when the time comes

Sterno

@badp Good thing we're getting three more mods here then!

Besides, is this roar all that ugly?

badp

"Not your site, go away" becomes "not my site, not my problem"

@Sterno There's been worse. A couple years ago a bunch of people got all high and mighty over Ivo

over a pin

that was patently silly

and if you don't know who Ivo is, well, now you know why you don't know about him.

Krazer

@Fluttershy Try tuck a some plastic wrap or a plastic sandwich bag (and some paper napkins or towels for insulation) between the upper tip of the shoe and toes... this prevents cold air from reaching your toes. it's thin enough to fit in my shoe without switching the kind of socks you wear

Sterno

@badp Until a minute ago, this only amounted to like a half-dozen messages a few hours ago in chat, right?

Or did I miss something?

Tim Stone

@badp Hmm... goes off to file a patent for being silly, online, on the Bridge

badp

7:18 PM

@Sterno I dunno, I just saw the pings from chat

I personally think this is important, though.

Sterno

I don't even think it was the particular incident of renaming "The Bridge" to "The Bakery" for like 20 seconds that was an issue. It's a history of him using mod powers in here to modify things in a way the community usually isn't down with. Always very, very minor stuff. No single item to get too worked up about. Even as a whole, not much to get worked up about. Just an annoyance, is all.

Part of it is just that when you do not have power, you don't like to see other people, particularly outsiders, flaunt theirs.

In short, we're all just idly complaining. I don't think anyone is up in arms to lodge some silly complaint to SE or anything. It's more of a "We'd rather you stopped doing this" sort of thing

badp

@Sterno You do have power to change the room name and tags, don't you?

@Sterno Fair enough.

Sterno

At this precise moment I do. :P

badp

and so do others of our many italic'd people

That's why we have owners!

in addition to annoying Wipqozn that is

...and those who would love to get it and won't

Sterno

Here's an example of something I can't do that an outside mod can:
