I just finished the activity check on my site and remembered something from a while ago which is a serious peeve.

When members miss an activity check and blame staff for the repercussions they have to handle as a result. I always look at this like "You didn't post in the AC, absence board/channel or even messaged me giving a heads up that would be away. Don't whine." To me, it is ridiculously childish to get angry at staff for not memorizing your activity level or just adding you. Until told otherwise, I will be under the assumption someone is inactive unless that person gives me life updates frequently enough for me to know. Just because your name is INSERT NAME does not mean you are some omnipotent force I am required to please and know the activity level of. Chill and understand I am doing my duties as a staff member when it comes to checking activity.

I give approximately 3 discord announcements throughout the check, e-mail all forum members, usually have Chatango spitting out messages approximately every 4-5 hours if there are enough messages (sometimes I forget, I'm sorry ;-;) and place it announcements (included coded area and the ProBoards thread one). My checks are also two-step where missing one just gets you placed in inactive status until the second where you get deleted. If that is not enough, I do not know what is. x.x

Sometimes I wonder if I should thank members I have banned. All those people who try to justify their rule-breaking decisions and generally treat me horribly for doing my admin duties, cause now I have one hell of a backbone. It has literally become "Oh... you want to break site rules and try to justify it and/or treat me like absolute garbage for noticing? You stop right there cause I ain't crumbling because you decide to be a jag about it!"

Despite the compliment, he still considered Orville Redenbacher his worst enemy.


I love suggesting stuff like Orville Redenbacher for people's secret identities, and my easily amused mind is quite pleased I succeeded. I get this gem of a line.

My dad informed me I will be working 6:30am to 2:30pm on Friday which is earlier than usual. Unlike most people I was literally like "AWESOME!" because I am a morning person. lol

I also vehemently hated Chatango, but that particular pet peeve isn't really relevant anymore. That being said, if any of y'all install a Chatango chatbox on your site I am hard judging even harder than before because now we have Discord.
the sound of the chatango posting is forever etched into my memory and that sense memory will stay with me to the day i die.

no but also like. i've seen sites that still use chatango and it is so wild to me because just. this so so obnoxious and bulky and inelegant just. why. please. just. i will personally walk you through how to install a discord widget if i never have to see this again. just. please.
Since I still use it, I will just provide my reason. I won't lie, I use both Chatango and Discord. I also know how to install widgets (I actually have one on site). The reason I use it is actually just because I wanted a free chat with enough staff slots for my team, more ban slots and an account system. I know cbox.ws exists, but the chat's purpose was to be a convenient OOC box since the Proboards provided chat would work as a tag box. The reason itself is because I have met people who hate discord, so I leave them a free chat they can use as much as they like, but still gives me the adequate moderation requirements I like. In short, I do not like paying for subscriptions so I just learned how to make a decent-looking Chatango box.
