The Powers That Be

[Spikey M]

Skipping neatly over Pen trying to stoke the embers for some reason, the people DEMAND to know what's going on in your private Modmin Section. Are you fuckers hiding Mark in there?

[Yevrah]

I have no ill feelings towards you but you haven’t reacted all that well before. Just look at your past endeavors and have a think are you really committing to this kind of nonsense.

I don't wish to sound rude, but I'm not remotely interested in continuing this conversation so I'm not going to.

In regard to Pen's line of questioning, sometimes there comes a point when even my arse runs out of grapes. As for the Office, nothing. Phonics has vanished this afternoon so it's still the graveyard it's always been. Probably for the best really.

[Pen]

You do what you must. Just maybe ask a healthcare professional how they view this.

Nice one, but I'm not taking the bait. Have a pleasant evening.

[Pen]

No bait, but likewise.

First of all this isn’t anything meant at removing Yev but his recent instability got me thinking about the current hierarchy here. I’ll also say I was one of the main advocates in maintaining the same admins in the move from the Dugout to here to keep things stable. That said, we have Henry who is God knows where, John who is likewise, and ItalAussie who only pops up to pretend to be Italian when the situation arises about twice a year. At this stage what exactly are they adding and what’s to stop any of them rocking up and kicking out half the users or closing the place? I’m not even advocating for adding any more admins, the ones that are here regularly do fine and it doesn’t really need it anyway, but those few surely need to be removed at this stage.

You raise a good point here. Most of the people that were made admins when we moved here no longer post. And even those that do very rarely do anything. Yev closing the other thread because people were being mean about his sitcom is probably the first thing he's done since we moved here 6 years ago. I can't see any reason for him to be an admin, so I've removed him.

I've also removed Ital, Henry and John, none of which have posted in ages.

But. Just to offer a bit of reassurance, noone can realistically kill the forum other than me. I have sole access to the hosting and domain, and we have automated daily backups. So any damage that a rouge admin could potentially do would be a headache to undo, but a few hours of hassle at the most.

[Boydy]

What if you get hit by a bus?

[SvN]

Then TTH will close as a way of paying respects.

[Yevrah]

Being unilaterally removed as an admin because Giggles shit the bed.

That wasn't why I closed it. Why is Kiko still a mod/admin?

[Raoul Duke]

The child will inherit the forum. This is the way

[Yevrah]

Oh and I now can't sort the new sitcom thread into order, so I'm afraid all of the shit in it will have to stay as it is.

[Spikey M]

I have no idea what's going on with this place at the moment

[Yevrah]

It's lockdown. We've been living like lab rats for a year and a half now and that has to take its toll.

[SvN]

His lucious hair.

[Ian]

Message board drama about mods and admins. How very mid-2000s.

[Yevrah]

His lucious hair.

Fair. Look, it's no biggie, but expect some PM's from me to delete posts when I start posting in the new sitcom thread and the morons hijack it, as I now won't be able to delete any of that shit myself.

[SvN]

And expect them to be ignored.

[Yevrah]

In which case, expect me to behave in the way people will in my thread in others that I don't actually give a shit about but think it's a laugh to ruin.

[SvN]

I'm genuinely excited to see what you come up with.

[Baz]

I think so. It’s Quick Links > View Site Leaders.

This still shows Henry, ItalAussie and John as admins.

[SvN]

Ah shit. Don't tell Yev.

[Lewis]

I'm genuinely excited to see what you come up with.

[Yevrah]

I'm genuinely excited to see what you come up with.

Hopefully I won't have to, but it would be so unbelievably easy.

[Offshore Toon]

This is a twist I didn't see coming.

[randomlegend]

SvN I think I should be an admin so I can delete posts from my Plane Tracking thread when morons hijack it by posting low-tier sources.

I will give you 12 hours to grant my request or expect me to start posting baseball news in the cricket thread.

[Yevrah]

That idea would probably work well in the shameful lustage thread actually.

[Spikey M]

Where is @Don? All this "Toxicity" is right up his street and he's nowhere to be seen.

[Yevrah]

He was loving it on the last page, no?

[Yevrah]

Fucking hell, I'm all for the drama and toxicity (big props for that post aimed at Shinners) but I'm really struggling to get interested here at any of this. If I see another thinly veiled 'when I wrote my script' post...

He was. Well, the toxicity at least.

[Spikey M]

Ah, missed that. He's clearly a small time toxicity merchant. He can't hack it.

[Kikó]

That wasn't why I closed it. Why is Kiko still a mod/admin?

Grass.

[Don]

Forgive me for not sustaining my hard-on for the war between failed writers and wannabe psychologists.

[Giggles]

Kiko is a very active poster isn't he, so there would be no reason to remove him as a mod. For the same reason as I wouldn't have removed Yev either, though in fairness he's going a long way to proving SvN right since he did it.

[Giggles]

Can you read? Because you're not going to be much of a writer if your comprehension of my original post in this thread is anything to go by.

[Yevrah]

There are two things at play here. What's written in your original opening post and your actual motivation for writing it. The two are not the same and we all know that's the case.

No you don't, because it's not the case. It's something I meant to ask for a good while and then I wasn't about and had forgot about it, and you jogged my memory.

Why would a forum have anyone looking after things, or even be able to, that isn't here any more? Like I said though, was SvN really wrong to make the decision he did considering how you've taken it?

[Yevrah]

Well it shouldn't were there anything to actually look after, which there isn't and is what makes your point, such as you claim it is, so absolutely bizarre.

Like I said though, was SvN really wrong to make the decision he did considering how you've taken it?

Where did you say that and how do you think I've taken it?

Erm

I didn't think this thread could get any funnier, but it bloody well has. Well played everyone.

Yev getting removed as mod is peak

[Yevrah]

Kiko is a very active poster isn't he, so there would be no reason to remove him as a mod. For the same reason as I wouldn't have removed Yev either, though in fairness he's going a long way to proving SvN right since he did it.

Apologies, completely missed this post.

There was nothing to be proven right on, as there's absolutely nothing to do here as a mod or admin.

[Yevrah]

But, I've no idea as to the real reason SvN removed me. Maybe he was worried I'd go rogue and fuck things up.

[SvN]

Since you asked, here's what I posted in The Office:

Just FYI, I've removed Yev as an admin.

1 - I didn't even realise he was one. He's done zero moderating or admin work since this place was launched in 2015.
2 - It really didn't sit well with me that the only time he's used his "powers" was to lock a thread because people were saying mean things about his shitcom.
3 - Given that he's basically Smiffy with a typewriter these days, I didn't feel comfortable with the potential headache if he went off on one and started deleting crap.
4 - TTH is not his private blog that he controls. If he wants to start threads about his writing, then fine. But a personal secret forum that's invite only? Get fucked.

[Dquincy]

It's because you had a breakdown, you nutbar.

[Boydy]

"Shitcom"

[Kikó]

IJ has been added as an admin in the background fwiw.

[Dquincy]

How does one go about applying to be a moderator?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Heads have gone.

[Yevrah]

Since you asked, here's what I posted in The Office:

Knew you were scared I'd go off on one and start deleting shit.
