After all, the members are not following it, and more importantly, the mods are not enforcing it. > [@](#): > > Rants which are genuine but simply too tepid or mundane for the Pit will be moved or closed, as we see fit. So what’s up with the following threads? Mini-rants A thread complaining about what’s in the mini-rant thread :rolleyes: College rants A rant about something that didn’t even happen to the member, just his wife? and this, “Let us pool our minor annoyances to create a festering swamp”. 100% of this ‘content’ belongs in MPSIMS, doncha think? Mods? No links, only because all of the above (with the exception of the original mini-rant thread) are on the front page of the Pit. ---

Ah, some things do get shuffled over. Just not the stuff you’d want to be shuffled over. The Pit Sticky serves as a nice treshhold, and good justification when something that isn’t even a rant is moved over ---

I missed one. “Pit things that make you sad”, and RO threads in general. ---

I think part of the problem here is your baseless assumption that anyone really cares what you think about the subject. ---

It’s not really important what the BBQ Pit sticky says, just as long as it’s there. It really isn’t BBQ if it’s not sticky. ---

[QUOTE=Carol Stream] Mods? [/QUOTE] You’re right, they’re wrong. The Pit has gotten entirely too fluffy in these last months. It is in need of a good curb-stomping by some jackbooted thugs. Too bad neither druids nor giraffes favor such footware. ---

[QUOTE=Squink] You’re right, they’re wrong. The Pit has gotten entirely too fluffy in these last months. It is in need of a good curb-stomping by some jackbooted thugs. Too bad neither druids nor giraffes favor such footware. [/QUOTE] If any of you feel that a Pit thread is too mild, by all means, report the OP of the nonoffending thread. Seriously. If you think a thread is too fluffy, let a mod or two know about it. The mod may not act in the way you think is best, but mods don’t read every thread. Please note that I am semi-retired, and I’m not on regular Pit duty any longer…mostly I just squish spammers when I happen across them.
