| Okay guys, it's been over a month, I think the prank has gone on long enough. Can we get back to our regularly-scheduled forum staff now? |
| Posted by: Nomake Wan May 3 2015, 03:19 PM |
| No, you may not. |
| Posted by: Spaz May 3 2015, 03:52 PM |
| Things are just fine the way they are. |

Thanks for the useful input.  To the forum staff: With no announcement or other indication of a change of power, the timing of the event, the specific administrator's prior statements that they don't want to return to their position, and the ex admin not mentioning leaving their position, how is anybody here supposed to take this as anything more than a joke/prank? |
| Posted by: Tessou May 3 2015, 06:31 PM |
If you had a more powerful membership, you could have overcome the trigger. But you did it from the MLP Group.  It's not a joke. I'm really admin and have been doing admin work since April 1. I had my reasons to reassume the position and so did Perry, which he will discuss at his leisure. Nothing is going to change back. |

No, tessou is ready ban and delete. WATCH YOUR ASS! |
| Posted by: Falbere May 4 2015, 10:20 PM | ||
Why didn't we get an actual announcement for return of Tessou? And why do you have to start again on all days but April 1? |
| Posted by: Seri May 4 2015, 10:38 PM |
| I knew he was coming back beforehand. Granted, I was talking with him personally in the IRC, but still. |
| Posted by: Tessou May 5 2015, 12:33 AM |
| I assumed direct control on April 1 because Dat Krazie Niggar Perry made the decision of timing on his own. I had nothing to do with that. I wasn't even awake when it happened, and logged in to find that I suddenly had privileges and access to the coolest part of the forum. Staff Section parties never quit. |

DAMMIT, HOW COULD I MISS THAY REFERENCE? Lol, the joke's on me. 
*yawn* Tessou, welcome back to the forum staff. I have full faith in you fulfilling your administrative role and am happy to be a part of this.  |
| Posted by: tsukikomi May 5 2015, 10:26 AM | ||
Me and falbury aren't on the list but perry told us to stop by anyways.  |

| Is there not one thread in which we can maintain a conversation without it tailspinning into adolescence? |
| Posted by: Falbere May 5 2015, 05:09 PM | ||
No we are a bunch of jokers. Close thread lol. |
| Posted by: tsukikomi May 5 2015, 05:20 PM | ||
How do you think I feel when my threads get derailed? |
| Posted by: Tessou May 5 2015, 06:56 PM |
| Next asinine off topic post out of either of you gets a warning for both of you as partners in crime. You're all witnesses! |
| Posted by: Rudy May 6 2015, 10:11 AM |
| Alright, Perry. The ball's in your court. Are we going to get the chance to hear you out on this? [ Post made via Mobile Device ] |
| Posted by: Nomake Wan May 6 2015, 10:12 AM |
I like how you think this isn't a done deal somehow.  |
| Posted by: Rudy May 6 2015, 10:20 AM |
| That's not it, Nomake. Im okay with this being a done deal. What I'm not okay with is Perry essentially forcing Tessou to speak for both himself and Perry. That's not fair to him in the slightest bit. All I'm asking for here is a little communication between the forum leader and his fellow subjects. A state of the forum address of sorts. I don't doubt what Tessou is saying for one moment here, that's not the issue. His forum, his people. [ Post made via Mobile Device ] |
| Posted by: Tessou May 6 2015, 10:38 AM |
| Trying to force the issue isn't going to help. If Perry wanted to say anything about it, it would have already been said. I've already spoken to him last night, and there was no indication of a desire to say anything on the subject. Let it rest. |
| Posted by: Nomake Wan May 6 2015, 11:40 AM |
| Perry has shifted to being a webmaster and left running/managing the forum to others years ago, Rudy. It's not new. [ Post made via Mobile Device ] |
| Posted by: tsukikomi May 6 2015, 12:46 PM | ||
So what you're saying is you were granted administration when you didn't ask for it? |
| Posted by: Tessou May 6 2015, 12:57 PM |
| I didn't specifically ask for it, but I didn't push it away when offered. What I did was let Perry know that he could benefit from a more active, proactive administrator handling his site after the events in the awards thread. I said that I was prepared to campaign for the position this year if things continued at the rate they were going, and he offered to just hand it to me since the position was always open to me if I wanted it. I accepted, and the ball slowly rolled over the course of a month. Footnote: Had Perry said the position wasn't up for grabs, I would not have actually gone through with campaigning. It was just my way of showing my annoyance at the handling of the thread. |

| I think Rudy really wants to be a mod. Hey, I'm all for it!  |
| Posted by: Falbere May 6 2015, 03:33 PM |
| It is true that Tessou was okay as an admin last time, I have no objections on him stepping up this time. (damn Tessou you made me real scared for that verbal warning thing for a sec, then I remembered you are Tessou.) |
| Posted by: Tessou May 6 2015, 03:41 PM |
Yeah, I don't warn people anymore. Leave that to the mods, lest I become a dictator again.  |
| Posted by: Spaz May 7 2015, 12:27 PM |
| We can't be having dictatortots all up in here again. Worst IDW lunchroom menu item ever. |
| Posted by: Möbius May 7 2015, 02:04 PM |
| Tessou is the admin IDWF deserves, but not the one it reads right now. |
| Posted by: Tessou May 7 2015, 02:44 PM |
| More like "heeds". |
| Posted by: Möbius May 7 2015, 02:45 PM | ||
Actually, I didn't notice my typo. Meant to say "needs". And ROFL at your typo as well. |
| Posted by: Rudy May 7 2015, 07:39 PM | ||
 When you make it this easy, it's impossible to heed my serious side. |
| Posted by: Tessou May 7 2015, 07:59 PM |
| As long as you keep the real you in private conversations, that makes sense. "Pony" up a witty retort, retortist. |
| Posted by: Nomake Wan May 8 2015, 11:34 AM | ||||
HOLY SHIT MOBY IS BACK Well, officially! Welcome back, sir! Planning on gracing us with your presence on a more permanent basis?  |
| Posted by: Möbius May 8 2015, 01:36 PM | ||
Thanks for the welcome! |

| Posted by: HorizontalMitsubishi May 21 2015, 09:16 PM |
| ... and just when I was thinking about making a reunion tour on IDW, well I guess I'll log out for another year and hope he's been removed as an admin again. |
| Posted by: Smikey May 21 2015, 10:24 PM | ||
Based off a few of your recent posts... you seem disgruntled. |
| Posted by: Spaz May 23 2015, 10:52 AM | ||
I'm sorry... Really? It's not like there are fucking dictatortots up in this bitch. Like, I'll be 100% honest, outside of having a badge and not really doing any moderating, I'm not clear on what the current specific regular administrative tasks to keep the forum running even are... That's how behind the scenes this stuff is, all site-level. Unless major changes are made to site structure or policy (which there's no need for anyway right now) the person in that seat isn't going to make any major difference unless they make a conscious choice to do detrimental things to the forum as a whole. The only major change I can remember that resulted from his last tenure was the change to warning reduction policy, which was a change for the better and has allowed us to actually remove "problem" individuals and prevent them from abusing the "automatic" reduction system that was previously in place. |

New member approvals is one thing that comes to mind, takes about 2 mins. every week or so. |
| Posted by: Spaz May 23 2015, 07:24 PM | ||
That came to mind too while typing that... But starting a list kind of went against the point of the post. |
| Posted by: Tessou May 23 2015, 07:39 PM |
| There will be a post clarifying the differences between admins and moderators in short order. |
| Posted by: Möbius May 24 2015, 11:31 AM | ||||
Haha, touche... I kind of reinforced your point with the "2 mins/week"
Is it even needed? I don't think it's a burning question in anyone's mind. |
| Posted by: Tessou May 24 2015, 12:01 PM |
| It wasn't my idea, I'm just a messenger in this case. |
| Posted by: HorizontalMitsubishi Jun 27 2016, 08:18 PM | ||
I see not much has changed.... |
| Posted by: Spaz Jun 28 2016, 09:37 PM | ||
I see the same is true on the other side of the fence. |
