sans-sans's shout trail with Ken - Help.com

your welcome. I sent the person a shout telling them how to open their email to people on their friends list.

no problem. thank you for that report though. always better safe than sorry

okay

I was told to let emails go through. if someone wants to give that out I’m not supposed to stop them

Nice read(the invite post)

No problem

Thanks, just didn’t want to assume.

It’s fine by me. Dunno if any of the mods didn’t want to be on there, but it doesn’t matter to me.

Hey Ken, was it okay for me to reply with the mods’ profile links on that post where they were asking about trolls? If not, feel free to remove it. When I was new here there were several times when I was looking for a mod and had no idea who they were or how to reach them. Seems like it would be a simple fix to put a link to their shout boxes on the FAQ page.

I was gone. not sure if someone else got it but I will be looking soon here.

Hey Ken, you have a red dot but hopefully you’re still on. I just sent a report.

refresh it, because I already had deleted that
one I think

One more, in the reply by Snar where he quotes Indigo Rain. Thanks.

I get em all?

thats good. could be worse huh

We tolerate each other from a distance, and try not to argue in front of the kids.

Well thats not too bad. You and the ex get
along?

Yeah. My ex-wife and I live in the same city, so it’s not a hassle. And I work from home so I have the flexibility to deal with their school hours.

You switch with the kids every week?
and got it

I’m doing pretty good. Had a great week with my kids; now it’s my bachelor week again. Hey, take a look at my last reply. I think a couple of 8 year olds are on site.

Things are alright. How have you been?

Okay, just looked ominous with a blank avatar and no one on your friends list. How are things?

Never said I was leaving.

Dude. Tell me you’re taking a break or going on vacation. I know you mods get a ton of crap handed to you on a flimsy paper plate, but please F5 or Ctr-R and come back, as yourself if not as a mod. You’re the best.

I probably should take a break but I wouldn’t
let myself =P

I can relate at least on the level of someone who tried to help, and then felt deceived. After 2 weeks or so away I don’t feel so personally hurt, and I think my judgmental attitude is past.

Sometimes you need space. As a mod you don’t have the luxury of leaving without feeling that you’re abandoning the community. Maybe you just need a mod vacation.

Thanks, as it is now I still feel that that
would be best for myself. The bickering
and accusations are getting to be tiring.
But nothing is set in stone.

I saw that you are thinking of quitting the mod gig after Yousef gets back. Hope that isn’t true. You’ve been rock solid and spot on in my book.

I am sorry I didn’t get to it. I think one
of the members mentioned was banned though.
It’s been confusing lately to say the least.

Hey Ken. I was a bit disappointed that you didn’t get to my report while I was gone. Looks like you’ve been very busy. The issue I mentioned doesn’t matter now. As most things do, it worked itself out, at least on my part.

I did not. long day. had our gas shut off among other things. sorry.

Don’t suppose you had a chance to look at that email I sent? Two long-time users are leaving because of that situation, and I’m starting to feel the same.

Have a good night.

ya, wont be able to get to answering all that tonight

Things are going. I’m going to bed though. I will try to respond to your email before that.

Hi Ken, how are things going? I sent you an email.

No problem. Goodnight, and I replied.

As I did. Thanks for the help. I’m off to bed. Goodnight.

got it. replied

Thanks, I responded.

Left a email

In your recent post someone referred to your decision to not respond to reports as a “mod strike” and you didn’t contradict that statement. I understand the mod team must be under a lot of stress with the arguments. I wasn’t on until late this evening today and was surprised that things had deteriorated so badly. I would appreciate it if you would email me. Thanks.

that’ll do, thanks.

As for the trolls, just report them, don’t waste your time trying to distract them or anything. As for the quoting, if it’s among friends we don’t really care. Usually a joke post, not a serious one. That answer your questions?

Hi Ken. It looks like you have had your hands full lately. I don’t have a conflict for you to resolve, but I am curious on how members should deal with a troll. Obviously we can’t just tell them to go away. Other than reporting it to the mods, what can we say that would be useful?

I would appreciate it if you or another mod would make a post on how we can deal with trolls, without our violating the TOS.

Also, a couple of friends and I were shouting back and forth and altering each other’s replies. It was all in fun and I’m sure the other two were laughing as hard as I was. They would quote me as having a man-crush on Obama and I would quote them saying they liked Donald Rumsfeld–stupid stuff like that. Is that in violation of the TOS? If you check my shouts you’ll see what I’m talking about. Thanks.

Got to go. Have a good night.

Added you as well. I will put up a post in a mod exclusive spot tomorrow so that they all can get to it. Many of us have been busy. Sorry no one spoke to you sooner.

Thanks I added you. The post has been up for four days. I didn’t expect a quick resolution on something as big as changing a partnership with a sponsor or trade-partner, but I was surprised at getting no response. If you would be so kind as to invite the other mods, that would be great too. I’m not entirely sure they all got invites.

I dont mind at all. He most likely isn’t on but left his computer on, as he is not on skype.

It’s probably a management issue. After we lost Jason (Scatt4ever) to suicide recently, it’s an issue several of us would like to see addressed. There doesn’t need to be professional interaction here, but if we had better access to the suicide prevention people, I know I would feel better when I have to work and a suicidal poster is still wanting answers.

Mind if I add you to my friends list? Yousef is on there but no mods.
