Hello friend

Welcome home!

The goal is to create minimum standards and moderation protocol to enforce those minimum standards, while at the same time preserving the open atmosphere JMC wanted this place to have. Generally speaking. As everyone was already discussing the issue, there was no sense in not creating a single thread for discussion, questions, and input.

That is correct - that is the whole point of DF

my anxiety dreams either involve my trying to endlessly run away from a tireless person or force, teeth-breaking dreams, or more recently the classic "not going to be able to graduate" dream where I find out I can't graduate high school or college on time and my law degree won't count anymore

HEY MOD was more like "why did u ban my account 'stink1ebum'?" rather than an open policy discussion

There have been a number of incidents over the past couple weeks that have necessitated discussion over the future of our moderation policies. My goal is to keep to the spirit of the low-key style JMC intended, but to make it workable in light of the fact that people do not always play nice. A handful of individual threads have began popping up and I want to centralize the conversation in one place. So if you have any thoughts, opinions, or suggestions on how a new way forward, or if you have any general questions for myself or KN[/member] or our three mods: Rogue_Alphonse[/member], MEXobiologist[/member], and viperxmns[/member], or for any other volunteers, please voice them here.

I haven't caught raiku, but I haven't even tried yet. I might be burning out. D:

You'll be glad to know who is helming Episode IX

No

It's like being in the totality of the eclipse all over again, except wet, windy, and deadly.

I liked the aspect of Rogue One where they brought back prequel characters and locations in the original trilogy setting, because it's not Coruscant's or Jimmy Smit's fault the prequels were bad so we shouldn't pretend they don't exist. That being said, the obvious criticism of Rogue One is that it's entire purpose was to show classic star wars characters, settings and iconography, and that its new characters and plot were completely flat. Or put another way, their only goal was to power the doomsday machine powered by neckbeard nostalgia jism.

I feel like the plot was kind of the result of a complex corporate algorithm for what a modern star wars movie should be. They wanted to play it as safe as possible, but the end result was that it kind of didn't have all that much soul to it.

It's been years since I've really picked up a book recreationally. Which is not something I'm proud of, but at the same time I binge on media (be it a book, movie, show, or game) and have to get through it in as few sittings as possible with minimal breaks. I just can't read 20 pages or a chapter of a story a night, because I just fixate on whatever it is I'm immersed in. The opposite would be my gf, who has books she's been working on for years because she reads them in her 15 minute lunch breaks (she did the same thing when watching Breaking Bad too). It just boggles my mind how someone can keep picking up and putting something down and not only not lose track of what is going on, but actually enjoy it.

Define "better"

I can manually change the password if you need me to, assuming you truly are the ghostrek

Oh well then why didn't you say so? Do you need help accessing the original account?

How can we know for sure?

so... were they clean?

Next you're going to tell us that ghostrek[/member] and ghostrek2[/member] are the same person.

Right, that's what the problem was. KN should have it resolved but I will double-check that it's all hunky-dory, because evidently it is not.

Everyone can rest assured, zeni is definitely not banned right now.

There was, as KN referred to it, a "weird permissions issue." Are there any other folders you can't access or post in?
