Twixter, a question about your mod note in the joke thread

[akennett]

@Czarcasm

You reported these, and were told not to do so anymore?

Is that really so hard to believe?

@akennett

Is that really so hard to believe?

So, no.

[CarnalK]

Wanted to add: the one that you and apparently Farmer Jane thought opened the door is not remotely riffing on black stereotypes. Bizarre to compare.
eta: if he reported any of those jokes, I imagine he did it right after getting annoyed at twickster’s note and I can see her saying “Not the same at all. knock it off”

[akennett]

@spinky

So, no.

I’m sorry, the line to call other posters liars forms on the other side. Yep, over there behind the mods – which puts you in the perfect position to bend over and kiss some ass.

Actually, the excuse was that she has a “really busy day” ahead of her.
So please, no one report anything in MPSIMS today, or you might bother the mod by making her do the job she volunteered to do.

What’s your deal? Sad you don’t get to see the reports sent to the mods when someone clicks the triangle anymore?

[Moderator Note]

akennent, if you don’t give a straight answer to a question, then don’t be surprised if other posters don’t believe you. If you want to pick fights with other posters, do so in the Pit. Dial it back in this thread.

Since I’m not a Moderator any more, you don’t have to keep your cheap personal shots confined to ATMB-you can take them to The BBQ Pit now.

edited to add: didn’t see the previous post. Sorry.

[twickster]

I’ll answer for him. I sent him the following email after the first two of about a dozen post reports from that thread:

I get it, you disagree with my mod note. I have a really busy day ahead of me today and I would really prefer if you could figure out some other way of making that point besides sending post reports every minute or two.

I’m sure the other MPSIMS mods would be grateful as well.

Thanks,

twickster

He really sent a dozen post reports?

I assume this was to make some inane point about different jokes being modded differently?

Seriously. Couldn’t pay me enough to do that bloody job.

Huh, and here I was just following the example laid out for us by those in the lofty reaches of the SDMB:

@akennett

Really, so is it any joke that references race/religion/ethnicity and the associated stereotypes that is offensive? Or is it just special protections for one religion?

@TubaDiva

Lemme get this straight: You’re offended because she was offended?

It was a backhanded slap at a minority group. How is that funny? How is that appropriate?

[Moderator Note]

TubaDiva’s remark was not directed specifically to you, unlike your remarks to other posters here.

You’re welcome to discuss the rules or moderator decisions, but do so without attacking other posters who disagree with you. Like I said, dial it back.

Seriously. Especially after he admits that “none of these are, in my mind, offensive at all, especially for a jokes thread,” I’d have given him an official warning for abusing the post reporting feature on shit he knew didn’t deserve reporting.

[akennett]

1. How am I supposed to know that they “didn’t deserve reporting” when a similar joke did get mod action after a report?

2. How is how many posts were reported even relevant if the email to stop was sent, per Twickster, after the second report?

[Guinastasia]

@Czarcasm

Since I’m not a Moderator any more,

Yeah, and we all know you miss it.

Life is hard when you’re expected to have reasonable judgment.

Emphasis mine. If it looks like something a mod would say, and sounds like something a mod would say …
