@morf

1. The action could be called 'ban-voking' (as in provoking a ban & wrecking havoc over a ban)

2. The person could be called a 'boker/bokey'

Used in a sentence: 'The behaviour of that bokey was obviously ban-voking and therefore she/he got banned'

You are a freaking GENIUS!!

@eucalyptus said in Lingering lingo:

Okayy, so answer me one of these questions (or both)

1. If you could add any word to the dictionary, what would it be?

2. What is your current most favourite word?

YOUR TURN!

1. A term for when a user in Live or Pub Chats blatantly and purposely does something so toxicly obnoxious (usually involving something highly racist or very disgustingly sexually abusive) with glaringly obvious intent and full knowledge that it's so terrible that it immediately warrants an instant ban from such numerous, horrid rule infractions. But then when banned, they throw a persistent childish tantrum asking why. Then claiming they were banned for "no reason" and did nothing wrong. Yeah, a single word to sum up all that :rofl: @Janet @Silly_Na @Aimee @Pamela

Goku - verb: When one piggishly eats an unfathomable amount of food at a ridiculously unrealistic pace.

2. Untelligent - adjective (recently coined by the great @Eucalyptus) The opposite of "Intelligent".

Makakapotamus - noun (TFS Goku usage): Because no one in the TFS Abridged version can pronounce Piccolo's early signature move, the "Makankosappo". Which seems to be such a difficult word from the Japanese manga/series that it was changed for English dubs to be "Special Beam Cannon".

"Makansop-... Makakasapappa-... Mekasep- ah... Oh to hell with it! Special Beam Cannon!"

"So are you just stealing Krillin's Attacks now? Or should I watch out for the Tri-Beam? Or the Garlic Gun? Or the Makakapotamus?"

"Oh come on, Goku! It's the Makakas-... Makanaka-... "

@CeReal_ HAPPY BIRTHDAY, REALSIES!!!!!!!!! 🎂🥳🎈🎉🎊🪅💃

Very happy birthday!!! Hope it's the best one yet and many more to come!!! :heart:

@bye69 said in A petition to abolish the MOD system in live chat:

@Morf yep. looks clear to me.
This is one of the problems of this site, which we have pointed out many times in the past.

What I and a few other users brought to light in the past was clique-like behavior, bias, division and drama within the team of global moderators and admin back in 2018. Moderation has drastically improved in cohesion and professionalism since then, with maybe a rare exception or two.

TWS gave too much "power" to the mods, which most of the time leads to abuse of that power. This is not the first time I experience such abuse of power by the mods.

Some users repeat the same infractions of rules and exhibit a pattern of problematic behavior over and over, which in turn results in repetition of outcomes. Which in layman's terms would mean: Repeating an action and then complaining of that action incurring the same reactions.

In regards to TalkWithStranger giving power; it is my belief that the site is instead doing the bare minimum to achieve the goal of the site running on its own without creator input. To which that is from a business standpoint.

How can we, regular users complain about such abusive mods? Clearly, no room for that here because of the so called "trust" by TWS and the mods.

Emailing TalkWithStranger via [email protected]
That is by far the best way I have found to contact or get their attention. I have also found that method to get the quickest turnaround responses.
Thanks.

@bye69 said in A petition to abolish the MOD system in live chat:

2). The sanctions/actions by the mods are not clearly indicated/stated here. There is no "ban on sight" order here. So make it clear. If you want to impose a stricter rule, then mention here explicitly.

Clearly, who laid out these rules are bunch of amateurs pretending to be good users.

The role of a moderator is an appointed position. The screening process for a user under consideration to be appointed involves a prerequisite level of observed and applied behavior as well as responsibility. After consideration for any particular user to enter the process of training to become a moderator, TalkWithStranger and the moderation team will already have a level of trust established with the candidate user through already said:

• Observation of behavior and responsibility
• Reputation and time spent on the site to which they get to actually know the candidate user themself
• Extensive questioning and further getting to know the candidate through the screening process

That having been said, any actions of enforcement executed which would not be stated in writing under any rules or terms of service would ultimately be a warranted judgement call by the moderator that falls within the expectations and obligations of the position itself. As with any position of authority, these warranted judgement calls are at the discretion of each and every moderator. This is done with any position of authority due to the fact that they were appointed to that position with that very level of trust in their judgement already established by TalkWithStranger and the current staff.

In short, the response to your concerns which you stated in #2 of your post is that within the authority granted by TalkWithStranger through the aforementioned screening process is that moderators can and will impose enforcements at each moderator's discretion.

An example of this discretion would be repeated offenses that show obvious signs of impending encroachment of users or chat and infractions on rules clearly stated. This is a quality that is obligatory for anyone within the appointed position.

I hope that helped to clarify your concerns in these regards. Thank you.

LOL!!! :rofl:

🤢🤮
