I predict that she will come in with a [Moderator Speaketh] tag, announce that she’s thought it over and will reopen the thread and move it to MPSIMS with no admission that she was wrong.
I have to assume Idle didn’t actually read it. I don’t know where it started, but it belonged in the Pit (since it’s a parody thread).
“The Mod In Question” should have just kicked it that way instead of closing it because she didn’t like the joke. Her sense of humor or whether or not she has a headache shouldn’t decide which threads get to live and die on that particular day.
Gotta say, gang, your snide comments predicting what I’m going to say don’t exactly make me feel like doing what you want me to do.
Agree, Idle Thoughts probably hadn’t actually read the thread – rather than closing it, I should have moved it back to MPSIMS and told him why. So I’ll do that now.
Apologies. It had gotten two reports about it needing to be moved to CS and when I checked them, I saw it to be about restaurants (tipping in restaurants specifically), and moved it there only from the title (and reports).
My guess is the reporters might not have read the thread either.
I’ll make sure to give a more thorough look next time.
She had full discretion. She could have “behave[d] responsibly as a mod” by telling TriPolar to open a new thread. I think she showed considerable restraint in not doing that. If it were me, if you brought up something in public when the mods have repeatedly said they prefer you ask in private first, I would deny you just on that.
The funny thing is that you did the exact same thing she did. You chastised her for being childish and rude.
