It shouldn't be a snooty social club, but at the same time, it shouldn't be a dead end biker pub on the bad side of town either.

Quote from Fries

Oh, and Firefly/Rosie get hit on all the time because they're the only two girls in the bar.

Quote from Fries

Well, I only listed Firefly and Rosie because they seem to be the most frequent posters in the chat thread out of the 6(7) you listed. I suppose you could throw in Camila or Charry, as well.

Also, who would I be in this hypothetical sports bar we're comparing to the chat thread?

Quote from Hewitt

Reporting and mini-modding are two different things. Minimodding is outright telling people off, and/or asking them to cut that shit out. Or acting like and feel the need to restate the rules and say that they know what they're talking about. Those posts are spam in themselves because they don't contribute a thing with what can easily be resolved by just reporting it discreetly. When you make a report, it isn't going to be 100% acted upon by us. Reports help us hone in on the possible crisis and give us a reason to look into something and see if it should be moderated. If it isn't we leave it alone and ignore your report.

And no, you don't know how much Reporting means to us to the point that if no one did it we'd be blind and only half as effective. There are literally hundreds of posts everyday. Do you think we have eyes at the back of our heads open 24/7, seeing which 10-post noob is causing trouble or not? Some mods like Rosie graduated from the RHG Section, so that's always going to be one of her old haunts. But the Chat Thread moves too fast on occasion and she won't be here all the time to regulate it. I mean, you see something that you think doesn't add, then Report it what's the harm? It helps us ALOT.

Personally, I feel that if a post can be salvageable, I like to give it a little nudge. I don't wanna infract them too quickly because they may not have meant to do it. There is always a way to get back on track with infractions being the last resort. But when it's obvious that you should know better, then all bets are off. And that's just me. Other mods have their own ways to deal with it, but the results and intentions will always be the same.

Regardless, you have a point. I will now resort to utter infraction-ville if you really want me to.

Quote from Hewitt

You're the guy who last came to this bar when you won the local basketball intramural. You've had fond memories here, chatting up with your mates while drinking ginger ale for possibly the first time and laughing it all off. You talked about girls, the game, the future. All those expectations.

Who knew you'd be stuck in some cubicle filing papers from god knows where for the rest of your life. You've become a soulless corporate lackey, who's ambition in life is to be promoted within the next year. And though that is a blessing in disguise, you longed for a memory that didn't start with sense for sense's sake. You throw practicality out the window, drive back to your hometown during your paid vacation leave, and return to this very same bar after 5 years of haven't been to it. With your slate wiped clean of posts, you step inside as a completely new man; one that feels his little highschool sports nest hasn't changed one bit.
