    Spring (Winter?) Cleaning

    I'm gonna randomly go through old posts/comments/blogs and probably prune some stuff. I've grown and changed a lot as a person and frankly readin' some of my old posts makes me go "man that person sure does stink!!" Sorry to anyone I was ever rude to. This place taught me a lot about how to be kinder and articulate myself better when dealing with administrative issues. Sometimes I miss it! If

Just an FYI · 10:08pm Jan 3rd, 2013

Since I've been back from my hiatus I've been getting less PMs and comments on my page. Remember that I am always here to answer any questions I can regarding the site. This includes concerns about the site or suggestions! I promise you I read all PMs and comments I get, but I typically don't respond to all of them. I do try, though.

I was gonna make this a site post but knighty would probably get mad at me.

damn even Poultron's getting a bit miffed at knighty

It seems legit to make it a site post.
So y not?

676005
knighty's knocked down the last two ideas for site posts I've brought up, and last time I posted one without asking I nearly got thrown off the team. So I've basically given up at this point.

all im going to ask is dont ban me again plez

676012
Damn, what has happened with that dude?
It's ridiculous . . .

676004
I'm hoping he won't get upset at me for this, but I definitely don't approve of his conduct on the site as of late. I've let him know as much. There isn't too much I can do about it unfortunately.

676021
Stress, I'd wager.

676023
I'll definitely agree there. Wonder what's causing him to be so stressed out...?

676031
I have some ideas, but they are probably a little too personal to share here. It would be too gossipy of me, I think.

/Inbefores*itstormaboutknighty

676033
true. besides, knighty doesn't need any more reasons to get mad.

676029
Thanks, I appreciate that. I've been trying to be a better admin and treat users with more respect. Hopefully it's working, but it's hard to tell.

Will keep that in mind. :pinkiehappy::heart:

676065
I beg your pardon?

Yay, you're back! Glad to see ya!

Good to know. Keep up the good work.

Should I ask you questions instead of asking knighty? He never responds when I ask stuff on his user page, and the only responses I have seen from him recently are not very useful.

676309
If you want responses you are better off asking me, yes.

676370 Is reporting bugs to you useful at all? knighty never responds to those, either.

676398
We know about most bugs, but we usually don't respond to bug reports either way. You can still send them to me though

676486
Considering there's nothing there, yeah

676023
Well, one thing you can do is stop posting "faget" on all the site blogs. That doesn't exactly help the public image of the Mods around here. But beyond that, Knighty does seem to be a tough guy to get through to. :twilightoops:


Also, this seems like something that should be a site blog. A Mod willing to answer questions? People should know about this!

677525
I like to think that's pretty clearly a joke though. Unlike when knighty directly calls users "fucking idiots."

677545
Joke or not, I wouldn't recommend doing it on site blogs (For the record, I am aware this was a joke).
It's kinda like, "Here's a bunch of information that you should know!"
"faget"
Kinda doesn't look good on your part. And if the thumbs are any indication (if I recall correctly, more down than up), users aren't finding it particularly amusing. I agree, though. Not as bad as directly calling everyone a bunch of morons. That's, well, yeah... :ajbemused:

677552
Actually, there were about double the number of thumbs up. I think the majority of people understand that it's a joke. Still, you are probably right anyway.

677555
There were? I thought my memory was better than that. :raritydespair:

677559
Yeah, you can go check if you'd like.

676516I reported on that the day the site turned upside-down. In several places. =/

677565At first, I was gonna just say 'shut up faget', but then I thought better of it. You don't know me.

Wow, I never thought you had a heart. It's good to see the nice side of you for once + I like your opinion about the whole Regidar fiasco.:twilightsmile: Maybe Poultron, in due time, you might become my favorite admin.

Faggot.

(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST AND I'M NOT A FAGGOT)

Aw... I'm sorry. If you want, I can create a couple dozen accounts and bombard your inbox and wall for you :pinkiesmile:

And I'm curious, because I don't think you ever mentioned why: why DID you go on that long hiatus? Was it for personal reasons, got bored of ponies for a while, got sick of the admin drama, or some other reason you can't/don't wanna say?

I come bearing the suggestions of an author I have come to respect on this site regarding possible ways of improving the site. He has told me he has already attempted direct PM's to knighty, but has received no reply. I now present the relevant blog here. I hope you find the time to read it, and hope further still that you will discuss what is mentioned both with him and your fellow administrators.

676029 Ditto³.
Even though I kind of miss the old Poultron too. The one jubilant, carefree person who laughed, cursed, farted and belched whilst gayly prancing around the site. :applejackunsure:

(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)

Jokes aside, I am being completely honest when I say that you're the best mod. And I also hope this stress isn't killing knighty (and by consequence, your friendship with him).

Wow... I'm kind of late for the party, I guess...

Thanks for letting us know!
