Yeah, but with the main proponent among the mods for it gone, how long will it last :p

I've developed a 'wait and see' attitude ... still waiting to see a number of things that we'd discussed while I was still a mod over the past several years even, to come to fruition. But then, being a proponent of things is what got me de-modded, isn't it? Alas. You'll just have to take up the mantle, Blaat. At least for TET. ;)

Monty Python is a British comedy group.

The former is started by a mod and the latter gets locked after 2 posts.

:unsure:

We talk here. It's a social thread, and that is the entire point. A place where you can be silly, and just relax. Kinda a fun little friendly corner of the site where people visit, talk about various things, support one another, chat about their day, or hopes and dreams ... not just 'spam'. It fulfills a purpose, and I'm glad we've been able to keep it going. :)


TET was an experiment initially, and it's become a successful one. It more or less manages to govern itself, and although it does on occasional get a little close to the line of acceptability, it usually cools off one way or the other. I think things have actually gotten better since it's been less moderated, as usually any situation either calms down on its own, or some of the regulars cool it down.

So for me it works. That said, I've always been for having a TET regular gain moderator status merely to keep an eye on things while maintaining the light-touch approach which Blaat has down to a tea.

You'd do alright with that gig, actually. You do that weird liking people thing.

I like the status quo, mind. You'd start pressuring us to buy home and car insurance.

Thanks Galla. Yeah, it's one of my more pervasive character flaws I'm afraid.

Me, use my influence to peddle Meerkat goods and services? Perish the thought..

You're right though, the status quo would have to remain. It would only be to diffuse the absolute worst situations, or merely as a preventative measure if things got a little too heated. As I said Blaat has that approach spot on.
