    Did the MODS believe that Dee was really Bob? Inquiring minds want to know...

    Pearl Poet= Illuminati aka Alfred?

  • silvershoes
    13 years ago

    Yes and yes. There is a evidence supporting both yes's.

    Sherry, ever thought of following the trend and joining THE CLUB? Might as well eh?

    Sherry, what difference has the lack of two males and a bunch of bubbly girls made to the mod team?

    Sherry, is your hair still red? I wish mine was.

    Sherry, ever thought of following the trend and joining THE CLUB? Might as well eh?

    ^^^^

    The thought has crossed my mind a long time ago, but I stay so busy as it is that I would not have time to really participate.

    Sherry, what difference has the lack of two males and a bunch of bubbly girls made to the mod team?

    ^^^^^^^
    Well, the testosterone levels are way down and Joe is great at handling everyone PMSing, other than that there is not much difference. Everyone of the mods are great and I am proud to be a part of their team. Bubblies? Where? I want some bubblies!

    Sherry, is your hair still red? I wish mine was.
    ^^^^^^
    no, I have it dyed back to it's natural color now. My red hair has turned brown!

  • sibyllene

    Don't worry guys! My hair is red(dish...)! Rule 34 of the site states that there must be at least one ginger mod at all times.

  • Sherry Lynn
    13 years ago

    LOL.. nope not a natural red head head... scary huh?

  • abracadabra
    13 years ago

    So we can spot the word easily when scanning through a thread, looking to attack.

  • sibyllene

    It's an acronym. Monsters Of Destructive Suspension.

  • AJ

    Because you are mods, can you, "touch this?"

  • Ingrid

    Omg, I am so relieved. I was so happy to see P&Q thrive again and so worried about, well..you know what was going on. I don't really have a question, but want to say to the mods:

    Thank you for checking out the IP and also thanks for keeping Alfred. He did nothing wrong and he is about the kindest man I ever met. I didn't know about him being PP, but if so..he is not doing anything to harm our happy place, in fact he is adding beauty to it:)

  • abracadabra

    Hang on. Just noticed DeeBob has left. Was he suspended, or was he too ashamed at being caught out? That black rapper facade was hilarious.

    Sibs- what are your philosophies towards your new duties as a M.O.D.? Also, when is it grammatically appropriate to say 'toward' and 'towards'?

  • silvershoes
    13 years ago

    DeeBob left of his own accord. Bob would not be suspended for coming back, faux identity or not. It takes some serious rule breaking to be suspended, don't you all know that by now? :)

    It's never grammatically correct to use towards! Gah!

  • Nicko
    13 years ago

    Bob posing as a Black man from NY...well I never and only interested in upsetting everybody causing trouble on the forums

    What's he trying to achieve?? I didn't get on with him but he still had a lot of friends on here...

    It was his decision to throw in his modship and leave the site, I thought he had a lot more respect for the members and this site....????

  • Sherry Lynn
    13 years ago

    Sher...you have stated that you had thoughts about joining The Club in the past but felt you could not give much of your 'time'..do you know that's the number one requirement of The Club....we don't work off a clock?

    Can you see an uproar if you did decided to join? and who would have the biggest roar??? I mean...you are mods outside of whichever club you are in but still...
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    I do not think that there would be much of an uproar. I think me and Ann are looked at as the silent mods and I kinda like being looked at that way.

    If there was an uproar I have no idea who would have the biggest fit.

    Would Annmarie follow...with her pussy?...could we all become one big The Club and live in harmony?...can you see that happening?...would non cat lovers be welcome...would asthma suffers be given free anti histtamine pills etc
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    I think the club would welcome Ann and her purrfect pussy; however, I do not think that Ann would follow at this time. You would have to ask her that yourself.

  • silvershoes
    13 years ago

    I'm not sure Sher or Ann would like it in our club. We're pretty dang vulgar, haha... and stuff.
    Heck, I don't know.

    Hey, where are my questions?!

    Ok, I have a question for you, members. How am I doing as a mod? What do I need to work on?

  • Sherry Lynn
    13 years ago

    Ohh... I think I could handle it ;)

    Work on not being such a dang mod all the time LOL...

    Actually, I think that you are doing a great job.

  • Sherry Lynn
    13 years ago

    I know.. I know!!!!

    TAZ! LOL

  • Italian Stallion
    13 years ago

    Haha Hellon, I did not in fact know the name of her pussycat. PM? oh lord, don't start any rumors now...

  • Rachel RTVW
    13 years ago

    Wow I didn't think you guys would answer that. So it leads to my next question- How many of you respect other people's privacy?

  • Sunshine
    13 years ago

    WHY won't the mods just lock the DEE thread now, after all being said and done ?

    Since DEE is gone, and now people are only posting their anger there ?..not like more mess is needed ..right ?

  • Sunshine
    13 years ago

    Well..fair enough then :P..I will keep { chiming "in"}:P HA!

    JANE : What do you think about YELLOW ?

  • Sherry Lynn
    13 years ago

    We always try to respect a member's privacy. That is why I went and got permission from Bob to post anything before posting the information we had.

  • silvershoes
    13 years ago

    Yellow reminds me of sunshine which reminds me of you, Nana. Thanks for the question :)

    I can play a mean cowbell. Guitar too.

  • Ingrid
    13 years ago

    Way to go, girls :)

  • Sunshine
    13 years ago

    LOL @ JANE> haha oh I am flattered and you are welcome.

  • Sherry Lynn
    13 years ago

    Not planning on dying my hair again. I am just as feisty
    as I ever was.

  • sibyllene
    13 years ago

    When thinking 'bout writing just limericks-
    well, it just isn't one of my picks.
    My muse runs off too!
    (Because on P&Q
    I can't always write about dicks.)

  • Sunshine

    LOOOOOOOOOOOL

  • Jad

    Lol
    ^

    I must agree lol XD

  • Jad
    13 years ago

    Wait I think I have a question. How, when you mods need to pick another mod, decide to pick one? If it can't be answered I won't be mad or disappointed. :]

  • silvershoes
    13 years ago

    My silver shoes have been retired to my chifforobe at my parents' house and haven't seen the light of day in about a year. They got pretty grimy, covered in sap. Think I'll stick to my high top converse.

    Jad, the answer to your question is over muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch deliberation. We do have a list of qualities and what not that we look for but I'm afraid writing them here would encourage members to try to fulfill those qualities just so they can have a shot at being a mod. A lot of people want to be mods because they think it's somehow a step up from being a member... but really, it's sort of like being a janitor.

    I will say... activeness on both the boards and in poetry. Age is a factor too but there's no specific age set in stone.
    Without those things, a member won't become a mod. Nope.

  • Jad
    13 years ago

    I understand. I could see were a list would encourage a ton of people to do all those requirements. lol At least you would have some activity! XD Thanks for answering.

    Let me think. How do mods know when or when not to lock threads?

    EDIT: Besides getting to a hundred post that is. :P

  • silvershoes
    13 years ago

    We've been trying hard not to lock any threads but when things get out of hand to the point where we think members feel they can walk all over the rules of PnQ without getting reprimanded, a thread might be locked. Usually we talk about it in the mod forums and say something like, "Ok, one more post like that and the thread is locked," then we individually agree or disagree (explaining our reasonings) and go from there.
    We work to prevent each other from taking personal stances on how threads or members should be treated. It's all about fairness and rationality and keeping one another in check (no hard feelings).
    Making a mistake or using poor judgment has its price, so we're increasingly careful with each trial.

  • Jad
    13 years ago

    Well, that was a much better answer then I expected! :] The seriousness of this thread might come back though it isn't all serious. :]

  • silvershoes
    13 years ago

    :P Long-winded answer, right? Haha, I'm finally done with school for a few weeks so you'll be getting a lot of long-winded answers from me for a while...

    I do have a habit of being super serious in times that shouldn't be so serious.

    I'm gonna take a nap. Later gang. Keep the questions coming.

  • Jad
    13 years ago

    How do mods keep track of all the members on here who are trouble makers? Like me! XD

  • sibyllene
    13 years ago

    Well we have a big list titled "Stinkers." Each person on the list gets a point against them every time they talk. Once they hit ten points, we throw things at them.

    No, really, I don't think there is a way. I don't think anyone could be 100% trouble maker all the time. Even crap-stirrers contribute positively (when they're not crap-stirring). So! Even though I think your question was mostly joking... there isn't any organization, besides a list of spammers. Everything else is dealt with as the particular situation arises.

  • silvershoes
    13 years ago

    I've got a who's sexy list but that's about it. Everyone makes the cut.

  • Jad
    13 years ago

    I like the idea of a sexy list! XD
