> Males typically live for about 5–7 days, feeding on nectar and other sources of sugar. After obtaining a full blood meal, the female will rest for a few days while the blood is digested and eggs are developed. This process depends on the temperature, but usually takes two to three days in tropical conditions. Once the eggs are fully developed, the female lays them and resumes host-seeking.
> The cycle repeats itself until the female dies. While females can live longer than a month in captivity, most do not live longer than one to two weeks in nature. Their lifespans depend on temperature, humidity, and their ability to successfully obtain a blood meal while avoiding host defenses and predators.
Not sure if it would cause more trouble or less, but it is possible to email Community Managers as well. I've heard that Tim Post is good at personality issues. Maybe email him directly?
You say incident like there was only one. There have been multiple issues with Mos over the last few years. The latest got it banned by a CM, bit was not the first.
Him and his sockpuppet friend. Yet I was treated like garbage for pointing it out.
And yet now on movies, I provide multiple evidence of serial down vote and un-upvote abuse and they ignore it and look for the flimsy IST reasons to ban me.
Well, my use of these sites is rather different than most. I'm not here for answers to questions, and I don't give a dime about rep or other "points". I just like to share what I know, or think, that might help someone else somewhere.
I have been mildly controversial a few times, but I won't argue a point. I just say my piece and let others rant about it.
I'm not likely to react the way many others would, and can't really think of anything you haven't already done.
Seems like you've done everything you're supposed to do about it, and it just continues.
Go to your profile page and mark the movie account as hidden. That will "disconnect" it from the rest as far as people can see. Might make it a little bit harder to connect this account with that one.
And, Don't post that screen shot you mention in the question.
@Passerby CM did investigated your voting claims and you end up loosing more upvoet then downvote and you got banned for using bounty for flag, posting Spam on main site and calling people bastard and fascists
Before mud slinging on other site on random place, tell them full story
@AJ I need to be mindful that I'm not a sheriff and I have to abide by the site's rules. Which I'm still slipping and sliding a bit - but will get there :)
@curiousdannii Yeah. In the coming weeks, I'm going to see if I can shoot 'em an email, and at least ask them to put some kind of response, even if it isn't what we may have wanted originally.
@YvetteColomb I don't think we can really deal with that question properly. How to deal with low level stalking would be on-topic I think, but if it's only anonymous votes that user doesn't even have any evidence they're being targetted.
@GypsySpellweaver Pinging is also a nice subtle way to get someones attention. If they aren't there, they'll get a little notification asking them to come (when they are available).
For what it's worth, I reversed one of them. If you want to formalize the issue, take it to meta. This isn't necessarily something to be chatting about. It's not really appropriate.
@curiousdannii I confused him with Jeff. But last I talked to tim about sexism it was ignored. Then Richard was forced out of his moderation role and then a year later shot shut down mos eisly due to issues that closely resembled what I brought up. I will send you all information I have about it
It is a TTF font that's free to download, can be installed on Windows, and then Paint, or any other MS program will have it available. And it is free for commercial use, so it's safe to use for our site ad.
@AJ BTW, darn good work for only paint and picassa. I can't do that good and I have GIMP :(
Of course, my artistic skills are as abundant as the dodo bird.
ok @Zizouz212 @GypsySpellweaver @AJ @curiousdannii we don't have a mod to deal with comments, but any comments that are rude or abusive will be automatically deleted with enough flags from the community
@Edlothiad would you mind deleting your comments from under that question interpersonal.stackexchange.com/questions/752/… we don't have mods on the site yet - so we need shog and it would be helpful to keep it clean there and delete most of the comments. You don't have to defend yourself. The question is controversial.
@YvetteColomb and everyone else who frequents this stack, my apologies for causing any trouble. I will return to my humble abode and continuing answering Tolkien questions :)
@Edlothiad I think so. It takes the wind out of the sails of the accusations. I've mod flagged for a comment thread clean up - but Robert is away, so we only have Shog
@Edlothiad You are most welcome here. So is Passerby. We just need to maintain some level of professionalism on the site :)
I don't want to cause anymore drama, but make it clear to @Passerby, that I am not Valorum. If anyone had the time to get 13000 rep on a sock-puppet, it hardly becomes a sock-puppet anymore. That "similarity" in our user-profile is because we both use the same slack-chat and that is our custom message. :)
1) I asked a question about SE (and kinda muffed it) earlier on in the private beta, so we have another data point.
2) There's another meta issue at work there, which is how we deal with phrasing in questions of conflict resolution.
One of the issues - if not the main issue - with that question is that it takes a set of events and assumes malevolent intent.
For instance, take two phrasings of pretty much the same (very hypothetical) question:
> I work at a supermarket as a cashier. The cashiers don't have assigned registers, and I prefer the one by the bakery. However, over the past week, my moronic coworker Mike has been stealing it before me! It's really stupid; he doesn't care which register he uses. I want to talk to management but I know they'll side with Mike; they always do. How can I tell this idiot that I want my register back?
Compare that to
> I work at a supermarket as a cashier. The cashiers don't have assigned registers, and I prefer the one by the bakery. However, over the past week, my coworker, Mike has taken that register before I get there. It's a bit annoying, and I'd like to find a solution where we're both happy. I'm not fully confident in management's ability to find an impartial solution. How can I get Mike to agree to some sort of fair agreement - hopefully, one where I use the register?
The second one's constructive and doesn't assume that Mike's the bad guy here. It looks at it objectively ("Just the facts, ma'am", as Catija would say). I've been looking at other related sites to see if they have a similar policy in place - where questions about conflicts must phrase the details neutrally.
I'm not saying we should all assume that the other person involved isn't being evil. But the OP shouldn't make the opposite assumption.
I think it's great that you want to be involved... before I became a mod, I really wanted to be one and ran in several races but I wouldn't ever stand up in an election where I don't have a significant amount of time and effort spent on the site... I guess it's just a different way of thinking about things.
It depends on the person. I think that the CMs sometimes have mental lists of people they think would make good mods and they may give them the chance if they're active on a new site. They're always looking to broaden the mod pool.
@YvetteColomb I'm at a meeting from 8 - 2 and I miss him. He's home with his dad.
Is there certain sources that this site will or will not acknowledge as credible? I'm trying to find a meta post about it, but I am admittedly really bad at looking through meta posts ;)
@Catija Oh, okay. Well...that's cool, then. I was just curious in case I wanted to post an answer. You know, because I am so knowledgeable with my life experiences :P
@steelershark Sure, but if you expect the OP to trust it, then you're going to need some way to make it sound like a good solution. Compare their problem to yours, and say why you think your solution will work for their problem. Maybe even what you expect to happen if they do take your advice.
@GypsySpellweaver Oh, sure. There are a lot of able minded users who are regulars here, so that's great! I know that if you guys have Catija as an active community member, you're definitely in good hands!
