Title: The Chef a mod?
Post by: PaperLuigi on August 07, 2010, 03:50:32 PM
I may be horribly inattentive but how long has The Chef been a mod? Because he just locked a topic Glorb bumped.
Title: Re: The Chef a mod?
Post by: ShadowBrain on August 07, 2010, 03:59:41 PM
The funny thing is, when that thread got linked to, I thought "I should pull a Glorb and super-bump that..."

But really, why is reviving a really old topic a lockable offense?
Title: Re: The Chef a mod?
Post by: PaperLuigi on August 07, 2010, 04:07:56 PM
I don't want a mod who locks bumped topics. >:(

And I seriously don't understand why people whine over Glorb's antics. They're funny as hell.

 Chef became a mod just recently.

I don't want a member who bumps threads for no reason but I'm stuck with Glorb.

But I will agree, in this case I don't personally think locking the thread was necessary. I'm not going to undermine Chef and unlock it, but you have to realize it's a judgment call on the part of the mod/admin.

If you actually want to know why something was done, ask them instead of criticizing.

I was wondering about Chef's modhood as well, but I figured that he held the title for a year and I just hadn't noticed.
Title: Re: The Chef a mod?
Post by: The Chef on August 07, 2010, 07:06:39 PM
I just got made a mod at the beginning of the week.

For the record, I locked the topic because a) Glorb's bump really was pointless and b) the topic was fairly idiotic to begin with.
Title: Re: The Chef a mod?
Post by: ShadowBrain on August 07, 2010, 08:08:57 PM
I still don't see how it hurts anybody to have an "old" and/or "stupid" thread revived.
Title: Re: The Chef a mod?
Post by: The Chef on August 07, 2010, 08:55:57 PM
It wasn't so much that the thread was revived that it was Glorb bumping it for no discernable reason, which I'm pretty sure is against the rules.
Title: Re: The Chef a mod?
Post by: PaperLuigi on August 07, 2010, 09:18:00 PM
I just broke the rule that says you're not to complain about a moderator's actions.

This is just really weird, for years you were a fellow regular member and now we have to answer to you. :/
Title: Re: The Chef a mod?
Post by: The Chef on August 07, 2010, 09:22:19 PM
It sure feels weird being the guy who has to watch the place.

Then again, considering how many of the other mods have vanished I guess its almost a necessity to have some new blood on the force.

In case you don't know, the 32x is often referred to as Sega nuking themselves (it even looks like a mushroom cloud), and we'd be nuking ourselves by even suggesting Glorb being mod.

Also, glorb you suck at trolling/making sarcastic + witty remarks.

My favorite part of that picture is when you guys stop talking about all your nerd feces.

One of the mods probably banned him for this post and many others similar to it. That's just my guess.

I really don't see what the issue is though. Yeah he says stuff to tick people off. Yeah he's a troll. So what? Some of his posts are really funny, and (to the hypersensitive) they're ignorable. It's not like Glorb was directing malice towards specific members, and he contributes quality (albeit strange) material from time to time.
Title: Re: The Chef a mod?
Post by: Black Mage on August 21, 2010, 07:27:00 AM
I'm pretty sure he got banned for that bear picture he posted with the questionable microphone. Considering Deezer edited it out, I think it's safe to say he was the one who banned Glorb.

And for clarification's sake, Moderators don't have the power to ban members.
Title: Re: The Chef a mod?

So if Black Mage isn't a mod anymore, is it safe to assume that The Chef is the mod for Video Game Chat?

Lamers and n00bs are usually the only members with the balls to actually make new threads. Then everyone else comes to the thread and makes jokes or starts discussing/arguing about something. But The Chef is closing threads every day before they have a chance.

He should change his name to The Abortionist.

I find it funny that when people ask about making a new thread, everyone else says to find it in old threads. But when old threads are posted in, they get flamed and closed. Or when there's no old thread to be found, and the new thread is made, it gets flamed and closed anyway.

I'm with LD on this one.  I've came to think of the "You ___, You ___" and "___ thread" threads as lame.    Some original threads are nice even if they see lame.  I'd just let the lame ones die in favor of getting a few good new ones instead of the general "post here" type threads that have sucked up so many posts lately.

Thus far The Chef has locked:
-two ancient threads, one bumped by Glorb in an attempt at humor, the other by a new user (do they just have every thread ever made in their "unread posts" list or something?)
-an especially-stupid forum game
-a thread that had served its purpose

I'm not seeing "thread after thread" being locked.

when old threads are posted in, they get flamed and closed
Because when old threads are posted in, it's usually either a new user bumping an ancient thread and responding to users who haven't visited this forum in years, or (until recently) Glorb.

when there's no old thread to be found, and the new thread is made, it gets flamed and closed anyway
When did this happen?

I don't know how The Chef became a mod, but it's ridiculous. He's mean-spirited (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=6635.msg585013#msg585013) to members and closes thread after thread (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?board=500.0) that no one wants closed.

He's particularly horrible when it comes to insulting his fellow members, both here and in the chatroom (where he does so on a regular basis, and, as far as abusing his power there goes, he's been known to kick users for having different opinions than he does).

I propose an addition to the forum rules stating that moderators are not above the rules.

Just because he is more handsome, more self-possessed, more relaxed, wiser, and a better athlete than the rest of us does not mean he is superior to us. He is also superior to us for other reasons.  As for the rest of us in power, we are so anxious to establish the myth of infallibility that we do our utmost to ignore this truth.

Quit acting like you're some exception here. Every moderator who does anything takes flak for it.

You have two choices:
1) Continue to make changes and deal with it.
2) Don't make changes and wonder why you're a mod.

Another (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=13008.0) good thread needlessly bites the dust, and it wasn't even The Chef this time.

I think I'm going to enact a Hydra Protocol and create two new threads for every one the mods strike down.

I know, I liked that thread! I mean, I guess we can still read the older posts, but I think it was different from "Classic Quotes from Forum Members" (as I personally stated, that one is unofficially focused on Chatroom banter). And why did it take a post by, er, "A" to close it when it had been around awhile?
Title: Re: The Chef a mod?
Post by: CrossEyed7 on May 20, 2011, 12:53:36 PM
:( (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=13640.msg589067#msg589067)

The difference is that it sucked less. Humor typically involves a combination of truth and absurdity. "Stupid qusestion, stupid answer" is all absurdity, which can be fun in its own right, but "Smart question, stupid answer" had a lot of potential. Granted, it probably would've eventually gotten derailed like it did back when dc804 made the same thread, but it wasn't there yet.

And anyway, it's Forum Games.

The Chef is a bully and an imbecile, closing another thread that not a single user wanted closed, everyone was having fun with, and in a forum where posts don't even count.

Thanks for your continuing efforts to lessen the Fungi Forums, Chef.

There was probably only one way Chef could have saved face from his inexplicable closing of that thread, which was to let PL's revival stand.

you guyyyyyyys and your dramaaaaaaaa

[14:29] <Ventricle> I only locked that thread because I had no idea how to merge it
[14:29] <Ventricle> and you weren't here to help
[14:29] <Ventricle> and now suddenly I'm Herbert Hoover
[14:30] <Skeleton> what now
[14:30] <Skeleton> Oh
[14:31] <Skeleton> Why'd you want to merge this one, it is different
[14:31] <Ventricle> if I tell them what I meant to do now they'll never believe me
[14:31] <Ventricle> I looked in the thread
[14:31] <Ventricle> it was...pretty much the same thing
[14:31] <Skeleton> Nah
[14:31] <Skeleton> You can ask whatever you want in stupid/stupid
[14:31] <Skeleton> In smart/stupid the question has to be more intellectual
[14:32] <Ventricle> most of the question there were based on 'intellegent' questions anyway
[14:32] <Ventricle> I figured merging it would be better than closing it outright
[14:32] <Ventricle> but i have no idea how to do that
[14:33] <Skeleton> There's a merge topics button
[14:33] <Skeleton> It walks you through the procedure
[14:33] <Ventricle> where is this button
[14:34] <Skeleton> Below "Send topic," to the right of "lock/unlock" at the bottom of the page
[14:34] <Skeleton> But really, I'd leave it alone
[14:34] <Skeleton> It's not hurting anybody
[14:34] <Ventricle> I didn't want to lock it
[14:35] <Ventricle> point is, the damage has already been done and now everybody hates me even more
[14:35] <Ventricle> BP that merge topics button doesn't appear for me
[14:35] <Skeleton> Huh.
[14:36] <Ventricle> do I not have the power to merge?
[14:36] <Skeleton> Must be a fiery-and-up thing

Here's the thing. Even if you wanted to merge it, or whatever, and couldn't figure it out (even though it's as easy as locking a thread), why would you think outright locking it instead of waiting to merge it when you had help was the better solution? It's not as though the thread was going to disappear if you waited a day. I don't see the logic in this defense.

[14:35] <Ventricle> point is, the damage has already been done and now everybody hates me even more

Or you could unlock it, learn from this and move on.

So if you can't be a mod, neither can I. Real mature.

And I don't see why you're calling me "mean" when my intents weren't malicious in the slightest. At least I don't regularly pick on Turtle over his beliefs or Weegee because of his bias.

Post by: Lizard Dude on May 23, 2011, 12:24:23 AM
Has nothing to do with that. Notice I don't go around complaining about any other mods. And gee come to think of it, none of the other mods have 10-page complaint threads about them. (Well, except Sapphira.)

Warp's mean quote was not about this incident. Unless you're saying calling Kimimaru a wuss for leaving wasn't malicious in the slightest.

And please leave WeeGee's bisexuality out of this.
