Status: Boomzilla seems to be feeling a tiny bit of guilt over being the worst moderator in the human race. Discourse helpfully informed me of his quickly moved (because deleting's too slow) post:
(The secret is I read the post before he moved it, but alas I did not think to take a screenshot of it. He was taunting me for "feeling left out" because I was mocking him for not moderating any of the 47 "hey's let's all hit the flag button and hand out badges!" idiot posts in that thread." Which we have a topic specifically for now, but of course the moderators see no point in actually moving that bullshit into it.)

Well, that wasn't very nice!

Touché (for the feeling left out snark).
Discourse helpfully informed me of his quickly moved (because deleting's too slow) post:
It seemed kinda slow when I was doing it. Why would I delete stuff?
The secret
WTF are you talking about?

Oh, I thought you were just on another forumpointzzzz rant.

I love how you can contradict yourself in the same post. This is a great efficiency improvement to your normal SOP.

I have a funny story involving Aunt Jemima (not the pancakes) that will probably not be recounted in this forum.

I dunno. And yet you did. Why?
Oh, I thought you were just on another forumpointzzzz rant.
Call it what you want, the point is WE HAVE A PLACE FOR THAT SHIT and the forum's full of idiots who need to be swatted with a newspaper until they START FUCKING USING IT.

What contradiction? You didn't move it into the "talk about dumb gamification shit" category, you moved it into some private category I can't read.

Speaking of cold, currently (excuse the horrible quality):

Eh, not bad yet. But the damned thing is not stopping.

Say what? He moved it to the Meta -> Flags/Badges category. AFAIK, that category doesn't need any special privileges to read.
-
I dunno. And yet you did. Why?
What? Well, OK, in the last couple of days...I deleted a spammer and his post after @ben_lubar flagged him...then I deleted one of @chubertdev's posts after he requested it (as opposed to waiting for the 24 hour thing). I don't think you were referring to either of these, however.
Call it what you want, the point is WE HAVE A PLACE FOR THAT SHIT and the forum's full of idiots who need to be swatted with a newspaper until they START FUCKING USING IT.
And it was moved. Look, if you're going to raise a stink when stuff goes the way you requested it, I'll just start moving all that shit from other threads into yours, so at least I'll know that your bitching is justified.
What contradiction? You didn't move it into the "talk about dumb gamification shit" category, you moved it into some private category I can't read.
No, I didn't. I put it into "Meta -> Flags/Badges," which I guess translates into "talk about dumb gamification shit" in blakeyratese. Maybe your WP is fucking with you again.

You mean the publicly readable Meta|Flags/Badges category?

Yes, he did now. AFTER I pointed out he was being a dickhole.

My gripe was perfectly valid, and you know it was valid, and that's why you moved those posts to the meta topic after I pointed out you were being a dickhole.
Next time just do it ("it" being "the right thing") in the first place and I won't have to gripe.

Regarding the now current title, or rather the immediately previous one (for the record, "State: For £20 I'll sing up for MilwaukeePC" — I think it said "sign" a few minutes ago): No. For 20ozt., ok, but £20 is not nearly enough to put up with that.

Like, a whole few minutes after the exchange started. I know this is against everything you stand for, but chill the fuck out, dude.
you were being a dickhole.
See my advice above.
Next time just do it ("it" being "the right thing") in the first place and I won't have to gripe.
FUCK YOU I DID IT PRETTY DAMN FAST. Shit like this makes me regret trying to implement your good ideas.
Only AFTER I pointed out you were being a dickhole.
FFFFFFFFuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

Damn it.

Funny how it was in that category before your ill-thought out rant.Or do you not bother with the whole 'the laws of physics enforcing causality'?
-

I've resisted, because I didn't want to look like a dickhole, but I think this retarded episode has well and truly earned you your Special Snowflake badge:

Bah. It seems I misrembered the quote rather badly. I was thinking of "No cheese, Gromit. Not a bit in the house."

Have a dwarven roast! They taste like eggshells, a single cherry, finely minced milk, and raw meat.

But dwarven donkey's milk roasts taste mostly of minced apricots.

No, I think the meta category for badge / flagging discussions was legit. Well, I don't remember now what he actually said, but ISTR that it was something he said that lead me to suggest the actual category. Blind
squirrelsrats and nuts all that...

How did she remember to swap the post-it note at midday?
She had a post-it note to remind her.

I don't think I want to eat "food" made by someone who thinks beer makes a roast.

I think she changed it after lunch. That runs the risk of the greeting being wrong for a while on any given day, depending on how regular get lunch time was.

I dunno...if you can deep fry it, why not a roast?
-
No, beer doesn't make a roast. Not on its own, at least. Beer can be an ingredient in a roast, but you also need something solid, like, say, frozen beer.
Unfortunately, if a frozen liquid base for the roast melts, the entire roast melts.
-
absolutely love my britcoms
Presumably you recognised the Spaced quote that you changed it from then?
-

Because the roast was beer, not the roast was cooked in a beer baste. Ben linked to a discussion just recently about it.

Well I did say it's not that bad... yet.

I doubt it. I explicitly forbid the cooking of booze in my fortresses.

What do they use to deglaze the pan prior to making a sauce?
-
Yeah. Didn't you do that to prevent them from making roast beer? And didn't you link somewhere explaining that the beer in roast beer fills hunger, not thirst? It sounded to me like the beer was the roast, not a sauce/baste.

That was a stackoverflow thing I saw, but I don't remember posting it here.

Why the hell are we discussing DF? What is happening?
-
moderators see no point in actually moving that bullshit into it.)
How many do you think we have?
Ok, there are 9 listed.
- 2 are bots.
- 2 haven't been seen since October
- 1 is a secondary account belonging to @PJH for testing purposes
- @InedoJohn only has 2 public posts back in May of 2014. I'm guessing he just lurks or participates in PMs with @apapadimoulis.
- @galgorah hasn't been seen in a month and has only participated in one topic this year.
Considering that the forums here have a history of light moderation, I'd say that @boomzilla and @PJH are doing a pretty good job.

I can't imagine where else I would have seen it, though, other than you linking to it. Or, I mean, possibly someone else here, but that seems unlikely.
