Apparently he is the overlordiest!
Well that 'splains why I couldn’t get on earlier. Guess I sent an email to Tuba for no good reason. I mean if someone had told me earlier that Marley was in control, everything would of made sense…
(ETA: Please don’t ban my IP again Marley! All hail the Administerminator!!)
Welcome to your new role, Marley, but a little protip: * is not the shortcut to ban all assholes.
And this is considered a perk? :eek:
Heh. I’ve gotten myself in trouble (elsewhere) by changing a setting and failing to notice a tiny checkbox in the corner, or something like that. Man, if that’s the case here, you definitely have my sympathies.
I should note that, to date, my own use of “I don’t know of any reason it should have done that” didn’t seem to persuade anyone I was innocent. 
I have to embarrassingly admit this flew right over my head. Is there some inside joke I’m missing? I was just saying I believe you will do a good job. Elucidate, por favor.
I was (jokingly) taking responsibility for the bans this morning. We don’t know what actually happened and we’re looking into it.
Marley is not only getting the doughnuts at the next meeting, he’s buying the beer.
The minute you get control of the Big Red Button, you pushed, right?
Power tends to corrupt…
In all seriousness, congrats - I have appreciated your moderating…
It might have done that if you accidentally put in an extra asterisk somewhere - so all joking aside, it’s probably a good bet that you did do it.
If you’re going to quote Yoda, I think it would be common courtesy to credit him.
I for one*, welcome our new Administrator overlord.
*[satire]If, by “one”, we mean the hive mentality that eventually infects every SDMBer.[/satire] Okay, I’ll behave now.
Beer, hell. It’s all 18-year single malt Scotch (the Macallan will do fine) and 5-year extra anejo tequila.
We can say that’s not what happened.
I don’t want to jinx things, but here’s betting my second day on the job will be less chaotic than this one.
It is all shiny and candy-like.
And it has a sign that says ‘DO NOT PUSH’ so that’s probably the problem right there.
Actually, in an homage to The Far Side, it probably says “Pull” on it so Marley immediately pushed it…
In times like this, I always think of Daffy, Elmer, and the Big Red Button. (NB: Youtube link)
I’m just curious. Marley gets promoted and everyone gets banned, albeit briefly. I’m sure there has to be a connection.
Oh, great…the birth of the Modders CT.
I was reading down the page and all the talk of red buttons reminded me of that cartoon. And then third from the end someone beats me to it. :smack:
The best part is that the label explaining what the red button does appears only **after **Elmer pushes the button. That was the funniest satire on the design of that stupid panel and it’s almost invisible unless you’re watching for it.
Oh, and just so I can contribute one obscure fact to save face for being too late to the party, that cartoon is a parody of [The Further Adventures of] Ma and Pa Kettle and the ultramodern, push-button house they win in a contest.
