So, tomorrow is the night where I get off of work, wash up, eat, then go straight to bed because I’ll have to be back in the morning…
God I love non union work…

When lunanne was effectively banned from the MOULa forums (by way of removing her from the group that allows people to post on the forum) I was immediately asked to make an Ending the Nonsense Part Two. I was initially hesitant because I didn’t really care about that forum’s drama and I doubted I could be effective. In reflection, however, I realize that this doubt is what has caused these problems to persist for so long and why I must at least try to make a difference.
Let’s start with the obvious: the moderator responsible for this (veralun) should be removed from his moderating privileges. This is the most recent of a long history of veralun and other MOUL forum moderators abusing their powers. This is an abuse of the moderator’s powers to silence individuals because of their views. This is furthermore an abuse without a warning or a notice. This kind of abuse does not reflect well on Cyan and Cyan should, for its own sake, end this nonsense. If Cyan continues to allow this kind of behavior, however infrequent or isolated, it will tarnish Cyan’s reputation in the gaming community. No matter if this is just one “bad apple” the effects will be enormous. This must end now.
Furthermore, this abuseable power should be removed. Hoikas suggested a better anti-spam solution: When you register in the forum, your name could be checked against the spammer database. This system has been used successfully by the GoW and should be used on the MOULa forums. It is time that Cyan joins this noble and comprehensive program.
Finally, and most importantly, Cyan must expend some energy to collaborate with its community. What we have at present is moderators and others picked by Cyan to act in their stead. I still remember Rand’s reaction to “hacks” that opened the door to the “grey hats” keeping the cavern alive. If the good people at Cyan were able to see what good has come from this hacking, perhaps we would see more collaboration and shared growth. Instead we have a new D’ni word… and everyone who cares has either lost interest or has been “banned” in the most shameful, hurtful, and cowardly way possible.
Cyan has always had this amazing ability to do the right thing far too late. I’m going to guess that 3 years from now they will get rid of him, or at least demote him to his own section since it’s more than obvious that he can’t understand english enough to properly determine what is and isn’t off topic.
Seriously though I would be amazed if they even get rid of him at all. After watching Tweek and Denny lose their admin privileges and hardly a slap on the wrist for veralun verylooney it would be amazing to see if it actually happened.
I don’t like seeing anyone get fired or demoted, but in public service you have to treat people equally. I know that if I acted that way in my line of work I would be fired a long time ago.
Last night I made my Howard Hughes appearance on Steam. Seems quite a few people messaged me. Yep, I still exist there. I drank a couple screwdrivers and kicked ass in TF2. I’m really getting good at playing the Engineer. I kept setting up areas and even had rounds where my dispenser and sentry went undefeated.
I should be on tomorrow night.
Tonight (aka yesterday evening) Yutram and I worked together to create the new SNews forumwhich can be found by clicking here. Leaving me one step closer to taking over the internet…
Went through my really stupid shit feed and came across this golden nugget on teh interwebz:

For realzies. Whether I’m playing scavenge or versus or campaign, the JP players just don’t want to play. They are content with just setting up a tent at the chapter spawn and just chilling. It’s ♥♥♥♥ing annoying as ♥♥♥♥. I haven’t gotten into a decent server since I got this game. It’s ♥♥♥♥ like this that makes me regret moving here.
The funny part is that I actually like chill people over the anal retentive twats that like to play the game one way and one way only. I mean come on, I play the game the way it was intended AND otherwise. Seriously, you might as well play it on a console if you’re going to be close minded.
Looked at my schedule for next week. I won’t be around much due to work. On the bright side though I am getting more hours, unfortunately they’re all at the crack of dawn…
Speaking of ass cracks, that was a popular subject at work today… I don’t know why. I was only half coherent at the time, in fact I’m still feeling brain dead. But at least I was there physically.
With this sudden burst of work though I may have to take a “vacation” from producing reviews. I’ll try to think of something else though.
Decided to go enjoy the sun today after work which gave me an excuse to make a deposit at the local ATM and take my camera gear with me to the park. On the walk back I saw 2 deer one male one female eating shrubs in front of a house. Weather was so nice that we had steak and potatoes.
Now I’m gonna go back to screwing around with website shit.
For some reason I just couldn’t get to sleep. The tea was chamomile. I was tired. I wasn’t hot or cold. I just laid there with my eyes closed for half the night. I hate it when that happens.
Ah well, maybe it’ll help me get to bed earlier tonight.
Naturally work hell was busy today with tourists and the people that like spending summer at a grocery store… Took my hour lunch today and learned that the wifi there sucks just as much. Yes, it exists, but it wouldn’t let me connect anywhere…
Tomorrow I have an early day with the possibility of an extension. So I won’t be very social tonight. In fact I may have to take a vacation from making videos (unless I find time for a vlog) as things are looking busy this next week.
