After you notify the mod.

[Trekker4747]

Notifying the mod can leave a bit of a mess in its wake.

I mean, you just notified, you sit back and let out a sigh because you got it all done and out of the way and you're sitting there with a big mess in your hands.

What are you supposed to do with the mess?

 

[ITL]

Your foresight and planning-fu is bad, young padawan.

 

[Cicero]

How does it leave a mess for the notifier? The process is both easy and orderly. (One click, a selection, an explanation, and another click, and you're finished.) The unfortunate moderators are most likely to be stuck with a complicated situation, not the poster in any way.

 

[Mallory]

I don't think he's referring to the act of "notifying the mod" in quite the same way as you Cicero.

When I first opened this, I was tempted to stealth-ban Trekker for the topic and overused euphemism.

Now I'm tempted to stealth-ban Cicero for his reply.

How can I want to ban one for using the dumb term, and want to ban the other for using it properly?



I'm so confused.

 

[Cicero]

Oh. Right, it's used as some sort of euphemism. I always forget that.

It might be as well. Whenever I remember that it's also a euphemism, I feel like signing off the board.

 

[Emher]

I have my ways, and will leave it at that.

 

[An Officer]

Too much information.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Now I'm wondering what "stealth-ban" would be a euphemism for, and all of the answers I come up with kind of creep me out.

If it's stealthy it means it's a surprise, if a ban is in it it might have something to do with sechs…

Forgot to answer the question in the OP:

What are you supposed to do with the mess?

It's protein, man! -eat it!

 

[JuanBolio]

I eat it. Sometimes, though, there's just too much...

 

[Tiberius Jim]

If you do it right, you have somebody else there to clean it up for you.

 

[Lord Garth]

I don't notify mods because I figure they'll see whatever's going on eventually anyway, no matter how sticky the siuation is.

Wait a minute -- you were talking about the other "notify the mod". My mistake.

Ban em both, it's the only way to be sure.

 

[T'Baio]

How can I want to ban one for using the dumb term...

So not a dumb term.

Brilliantly clever, as a matter of fact.

 

[RJDiogenes]

It's simple: After you "notify the Mod," you "stealth ban" and then "sign off the board." Easy as 1-2-3.

 

[ITL]

And if you're feeling adventurous - "Multiple-Postings" followed by a "Friendly".

Ahhhhhh.

 

[RJDiogenes]

But, please, no "Spamming." Ew.

 

[ITL]

Yeah, that's just icky.
