Don't worry... I tend to run away from positions of power as quickly as possible. I don't particularly like the idea of anyone having positions of power anyway.

Oh, I know.

It's just that there was a thread back in 2010 or so where I remember Natapoc was going off about one issue or another and half the posters were saying stuff to the effect of, "glad this lunatic isn't in charge". I was one of them.

ask moderation about reading serious moderation candidates TGs without telling them about it until afterwards and/or apparently refusing to confirm/deny the exact timeline of TG reading ~~~ i hope you never sent any of the recent mods or the ones that got really close anything personal!

signature edit: confirmation has been received. they will explicitly do it before and without asking. they can look at TGs basically whenever they want so please keep this in mind when nominating people for moderator or TGing good posters/anyone!

For future reference, "They" can actually be used as a singular gender neutral pronoun. Its what I usually use if I don't know a player's preferred pronouns.

For lianhua I think she messed up when her "friends" also joined NS. IIRC someone found one of the pictures of the friend was stolen from somewhere.

In terms of of people using photos to pretend they're someone they aren't, the Award for Best Choice in Photo Source goes to Avalar, for choosing the twitter feed of a gay pornstar as his source of "pictures of himself".

"Sisters". One was supposedly in the SDF, even.

I'm a what now? Hate to break it to you, but I'm 100% married ciswhatsis grumpy ol' woman here, having physically given birth to two kids, and even if I were a perfectly good transgender woman, I doubt I'd appreciate the rather insensitive slur there. Stay classy, folks. Stay classy.

Sorry to say that Asigna doesn't ring a bell, other than having seen them about the forums. Apparently bans, warnings and the like aren't that memorable when all's said and done.

At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

I liked Nemmy for a long time, but toward the end, he just got really nasty. I'm not sure what happened to make him so bitter.

He and I both had a real love for New England, so that was nice to chat about before he started flipping his shit and flaming people in every post.
