The Awkward Silence

12:43 AM

I'm debating whether to nominate myself for the moderator election... it feels like I've done some but not enough to really consider myself worthy

Looking at the rep, action, meta activity, I feel like I haven't come close to either Rainbacon or Aelis or Avazula yet, but I guess I'll keep working on that :)

If nothing else, it'd be interesting to see how much support you have from the community.

For instance, I ran for mod on PPCG for funsies and still got 12 first-pick votes.

huh, okay

@ElizB You've done more recently than 1 of the other candidates, so... But I guess you'd have to hurry when you wake up ;)

@ElizB go for it anyway. I lost 2 elections before I was made a pro-tem, then won SU, then well...

@Tinkeringbell Harsh words you had '^.^

GaMen everyone :)

Tinkeringbell

@dhein I don't like lies. Morning!

dhein

@Tinkeringbell Fair enough

Tinkeringbell

We have three other awesome candidates though, so here's fingers crossed ;)

dhein

Hehe :) Are you allowed to vote?^^

Tinkeringbell

@Tinkeringbell: I am a little confused by the questionnaire point 5, them saying they will partially reduce their activity and in other parts leaving their activity unchanged.

Tinkeringbell

@dhein There really can't be much less activity indeed, and unchanged is not a good sign either... But I'm not going to engage them further, as they already pulled out the victim card yesterday and when people do that there's no need talking to them further :)

dhein

@Tinkeringbell Yeah, just wanted to let you know that your claim just gets further supported rather than disputed, if you haven't checked the post already. I kinda find it sad, that they came back this way. I actually liked their participation before.

Meh. I said all I had to say about that already in the comments there. I'll just keep my fingers crossed for rain, aelis, and Ava (and Eliz, if she decides to drop a very last minute nomination). But I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed things ;)

avazula

Morning everyone!

Tinkeringbell

Hey you!

How was your weekend?

Q: How can I stop my niece with developmental disorder from sitting behind my juice bar?

I own a small juice bar, with two seats behind the counter for me and my employees, and a piddling number of seats for customers that are usually occupied. My brother has genetic disorders and his 18 y.o. daughter genetic and developmental disorders. Every week she comes to the juice bar to vis...

I jsut am wondering, if a troll posts good content, with being inline with our policys and it being helpful, how can this be by definition a troll? I am a bit confused about this, why everyone wants to take actions on that. And I wonder by what scale these suspicions would be measured. I mean that 8th Question sounds to me like "You see a high quality post but have for no reason the suspect it might be bad intended, what you do?" Am I misunderstanding that question?

@ElizB Rep isn't all that important.

@dhein A troll would be someone who posts intentionally inflammatory content in an attempt to rifle up controversy and start arguments, while still technically keeping in line with the policies. Not explicitly breaking the rules, but - intentionally - wreaking havoc. Not every controversial or divisive post is a troll, of course, but sites like this one are especially attractive to people who'd be willing to do that for a laugh.
