What's going on? (Thread locking? EMH?)

I'm sure I'm too late for this, but what does "EMH" stand for?

Emergency Moderating Hologram.

I guess there was a problem when they made Yarps a mod, so he made a new account that he only uses to moderate during an emergency. Pretty funny if you ask me.

Talk about a recruitment drive. Is the interest in Keenspace a reaction to boardy failing or is this the start of something bigger? Chris Crosby mentioned something about an upcoming portal system and some other vague improvements.

Lol, yup. Star Trek rules though.

At least he didn't put "Please state the nature of the moderating emergency" in his signature...

I'd credit it to people surfing the boards more often to find out when Keenspace would be working again. And then there's the moderating controversy. It didn't affect me, though. I almost forgot about this place.

yeahDuff, are you going to take up that offer of being made mod of Comic Pitching??

Yeahduff · Post by **Yeahduff** » Sat Jan 31, 2004 6:55 pm

I responded with a nervous "yes." We'll see if she wisens up and changes her mind.

Lol, well this should be interresting to say the least...

Just when I thought.....

If yarps had something to do with VT getting banned, then I was right the first time. If such is true, I have no use for YarpsDat.

[allegory] We had a singer for our band who used to futz off while the rest of us worked our asses and fingers off trying to improve ourselves. Finally had to let him go.

At a open tryout rehearsal, we were dissapointed in all people who showed up for the position. To our amazement, our ex-singer was there to legitimately try out!

He sounded good, and had finally gotten all the lines right. It seemed he had realized that being in a band is hard work as much as play. We talked to each other and voted him back in.

He actually jumped up and clapped his hands, saying "I've got a band again!" We looked at each other with that "aw crap, he hasn't changed at all" telepathic message. But it was too late. We had dates, he had improved... But to the end of that band, he was always more enamored with the "I'm in a band" image than the actual responsibility that goes along with it. [/allegory]

Yarp's reply to seeing VT banned, as well as his response to being a moderator give me that same sinking feeling. I'll just have to stay out of the kid's way.

Anti-Do not reply and Do not reply weren't my cup o' tea. I won't miss them. Lock-em and delete them, whatever. People can just make new silly threads.

But.....

There IS a point to such threads. Since it appears that no one has picked up the point to defend it, I'll make a new thread to state it.

Well, Yarps WASN'T responsible. Striker was. She did it in response to Vile's email about Yarps. She got it late for one reason or another, weighed the case, and decided that Vile should be banned. I didn't like the decision, and I think it's based on a misunderstanding, but that's how it goes. If Yarps isn't exactly sad about it, that's his perogative. He wasn't responsible, though.

Is this showing less than full confidence in my abilities? It certainly should be.

Not really, I'm just saying that it's gonna be interresting's all...

Let's face it.
Now that STrRedwolf is here, these forums are now dead.
We are just dancing around the corpse.

Amen to dat Magi. Something tells me that she fucked up BIG time.

Mr Ekshin · Post by **Mr Ekshin** » Sat Jan 31, 2004 8:49 pm

Well, that's why I put an "If" in front of my statement more than once. But from what I read, Yarps had stated that

"EDIT: Apparently I also convinced Wolf to put Viles in "brig". Kinda funny it's a result of Vile's e-mail.

"

So Yarps convinced StrRedWolf to ban VT? Is that what "put Viles in brig" means?

He's no saint. The kid has a big gun. Stay out of his way. I will. I'll be over there sipping iced tea.

Peas.

Poor English translation. What he meant was, "my explanation as to why I should be a mod not only got my status back but got Vile banned." Yarps coulda banned Vile for the past month, but didn't. The two never got along, so he's not going to weep when she's gone.

That doesn't mean you have to trust him. Do what you want, but that's how it is.

Mr Ekshin · Post by **Mr Ekshin** » Sat Jan 31, 2004 8:59 pm

[vent] Here's a point. VT may have deserved to be banned for past outbursts and posts. VT maybe should have been banned for crap in the past.

But VileTerror has been quite passive and actually productive lately. We've already weathered the damn storm. This happening now is B.S.

It's a sentence carried out improperly timed. It's simply not right.

How many of you have participated and posted in the "King Lear" thread? Anyone who hasn't should pipe up now to say how she is better gone than here. Who's first?

I didn't participate in that thread, and I don't agree with the ban. There's at least something to say. [/vent]

TheGoobla · Post by **TheGoobla** » Sat Jan 31, 2004 9:03 pm

I wholeheartedly concur. This banning was entirely uncalled for, and inappropriate, hopefully it'll be corrected in due time.
