glacial fulcrum
#

but that means the mods need to hurry up and put their ballots in

wise pecan
#

Uhh

primal aurora
#

lgtm*

wise pecan
#

I have school then harold1

primal aurora
#

there are no such thing

#

wouldnt the original time work better since mods have like 1 more hour to put in votes though

hasty crag
#

wait how did i get nominated if i have a warning for nsfw trollface

primal aurora
#

i have like 20 warnings and i got nominated

#

to be fair most are like fast message spam warnings (im not used to fast message protection)

hasty crag
#

silly

glacial fulcrum
#

I might release that after the election is completely over.

primal aurora
#

4:30 cst

wise pecan
primal aurora
#

out of curiosity how many votes did the top candidate get (dont have to reveal name)

#

yeah this friday

hasty crag
#

cst for cis time

primal aurora
primal aurora
#

ok

elfin sail
#

I just don't understand how I was nominated for moderator lmfao and, honestly, wouldn't want to be chosen anyways (I know I'd have a 1/1*10^4 chance anyway)

wise pecan
primal aurora
#

i mean you are popular in the community @swift prawn

elfin sail
#

You have a nonzero chance of actually being promoted to moderator

primal aurora
#

you were popular before your shilling

wise pecan
potent forge
primal aurora
#

if they hate you they probably would demote you from hu

Segmentation fault. Core dumped

primal aurora
#

if you need music for the event count me in, i am basically a walking music bot

#

(im a mute i have no purpose in vcs other than to play music or just chill)

elfin sail
#

Sorry, my CPU only has support for unsigned int... I suppose this means 4294967294?

late chasm
#

Was there an everyone ping here?

wise pecan
#

Wait events now say "tomorrow at 22:30"

primal aurora
#

no nominees just got pinged

late chasm
#

Ah I see

elfin sail
#

SIGSEGV is signal 11

#

You will not beat me at this game

primal aurora
#

so you have a 11% chance

elfin sail
wise pecan
#

Signal 0 is ok i think

primal aurora
#

either that or a 110% chance

elfin sail
primal aurora
#

ill test

#

nah too lazy ykw

elfin sail
hasty crag
wise pecan
#

What is the event time finally?

late chasm
#

Why do I need to be at the ceremony?

elfin sail
primal aurora
#

you dont have to but you should

#

since you were nominated

late chasm
#

Oh right

hasty crag
elfin sail
late chasm
#

I'll see if I can show

potent flare
elfin sail
potent flare
#

add is the same for signed and unsigned

#

signed multiplication can be emulated with unsigned

elfin sail
wise pecan
primal aurora
#

its 11x bigger than zero

elfin sail
#

Now use multiplication
11 is infinitely times larger than 0

hasty crag
potent flare
#

endianness doesn't matter

elfin sail
primal aurora
#

i know my math is wrong but you get my point

potent flare
#

endianness is purely a memory access thing

primal aurora
#

49 smaller than 50 but still big number here

#

and what if scale is 1-10 and you have a 110% chance

elfin sail
wise pecan
#

Its about to overflow

primal aurora
#

discords shit coding probably uses like a u32 or smth

#

anyhow imma go rest

compact yoke
#

What

elfin sail
potent flare
#

endianness is about representing multi-cell numbers

young jasper
#

Yup.

median glen
#

will do

#

thanks

compact yoke
#

What is the promotion ceremony

glacial fulcrum
#

gonna read out the new mods on the stage channel and let them say a few words to the community if they'd like to

swift prawn
#

via voice or text?

glacial fulcrum
#

voice

#

there will be a summary posted in announcements after it's over.

#

and the stage channel will be recorded and saved in #1173471446891241565

kindred zenith
#

@glacial fulcrum did you mean to set it for 4:30 am est

#

because im gonna be sleeping lol

glacial fulcrum
#

it's definitely PM...

swift prawn
kindred zenith
#

my bad

dawn light
#

theres a racist distro?

primal aurora
#

yeah

glacial fulcrum
#

oh wow there actually is a racist distro that shills white nationalism and ships with swastika wallpapers. neat.

#

the linux community sure is amazing

swift prawn
#

sorry was afk, what did I miss?

glacial fulcrum
#

you're a mod nominee, come to the promotino ceremony tomorrow if possible, otherwise keep an eye on announcements

swift prawn

swift prawn
#

note aside, on the debian city server they said there was some kind of boicot happening here, wtf

glacial fulcrum
#

what?

swift prawn
glacial fulcrum
#

are you sure they're talking about this arch server?

#

that sounds more like it's directed towards the other one that's a toxic shithole

#

I haven't been there myself but vegan banned their entire mod team over them trying to organize a raid on us.

#

if it actually is directed towards us though i'd be happy to have a diplomatic conversation about it, i'd rather avoid having a bunch of cross server drama going on.

swift prawn
glacial fulcrum
#

actually it's probably better if I go and handle this directly.

swift prawn
glacial fulcrum
#

oh boy

young jasper
#

Is it because this server stands up for lgbtq+ rights?

glacial fulcrum
#

either that or salt directed towards our moderation.

#

i'm gonna drag this one into mod chat

swift prawn
#

go have fun on mod chat with them harold1

glacial fulcrum

oh

I ran that number.

They have 2 warnings, with these notes:
1) 2023-06-25: Banned permanently with reason: transphobic anti-furry bigot, threatening to hac other users (script kiddie, not real hacker)
2) 2023-08-23: see ticket 608 for details on ban

swift prawn
glacial fulcrum
#

yeah safe to say I won't be addressing this directly at all.

swift prawn
#

personally, I'm fine with #lgbtq as I'm neutral towards it

#

as people has free of choice and right to choose the best for em

#

just to say it in a nutshell

young jasper
#

I would focus on moderating this discord for now. It's one issue that'll stay on our minds.

#

That's my advice.

glacial fulcrum
#

yeah I see no need to engage considering that the debian city server has a member count of 64.

swift prawn
glacial fulcrum
#

I can pull that ticket number for more information, but I remember that person and they are not someone I am going to argue with about this kind of shit.

swift prawn
glacial fulcrum
#

yeah no i'm just gonna ignore this and I suggest everyone else does the same.

swift prawn
#

they can just leave the server and let it be.

glacial fulcrum
#

some random script kiddie getting upset over us banning transphobes is not worth my time.

swift prawn
#

like, don't like server? leave then, or make constructive criticism.

swift prawn
#

if they still have something against this server, well... transface mod time

young jasper
#

If they do try shit then it's likely a ban could happen. Though I would be worried if they try shit when the whole promotion thing happens/

compact yoke
#

The gunpowder plot trollface

swift prawn
glacial fulcrum
#

rest assured the mod election is not influenced entirely by the community poll.

compact yoke
#

/j

swift prawn
#

tho I did agreed with kaizen about them indeed having a point, but wrong way to express it

glacial fulcrum
#

idk why some random tiny debian server is trying to act as an authority on who is a legitimate discord server

swift prawn
#

neither, I'm so clueless

primal aurora
#

what happened

compact yoke
#

It's a shame that the only debian server I can find is that craphole

swift prawn
glacial fulcrum
#

either way, the mod election is an internal affair, the community poll was only used to find nomines and get a basic understanding of community perception. having watched the internet historian videos on online polls, I'm not dumb enough to leave the moderation of this community to one.

young jasper
#

Okay that lifted a lot of stress off my mind. Thank you.

primal aurora
#

yeah just saw what happened

glacial fulcrum
#

yeah the actual decision is being handled by an internal poll that only existing moderators have access to

#

and then the admins here will be reviewing the results before anyone actually gets the role

primal aurora
#

did they even say what we did lmao

glacial fulcrum
#

no

#

but the guy who made that post was banned for transphobia like 5 months ago

#

so I have a pretty good idea

primal aurora
#

yep

#

btw speaking of possible raids and similar, thoughts on adding a bot like wick

#

valk antiraid is fine but wick should be able to weed out the rest of the spammers and smaller raids

glacial fulcrum
#

I feel no need to try and add more measures than we already have quite yet

primal aurora
#

i just think it would remove the need for gore spammers and similar to have to be weeded out more manually

#

it could be simple, just some anti-raid protection to protect against raids that happen over time and that valk cant pick up on

glacial fulcrum
#

i'm not sure about them tbh, I can't find any explanation on how their algorithm works and everything is closed source.

primal aurora
#

my opinion is if it works perfectly for servers in the tens of thousands and even hundreds of thousands of members it should work here

swift prawn
#

like when a software has sane defaults

primal aurora
#

in my opinion for a server with over 10k members we need a mod team of 10 or more to handle everything and every channel

swift prawn
primal aurora
#

and optimally to also handle growth like 15 or more (however some automod can probably cut this all)

swift prawn
#

tldr, good luck for anyone becoming mod

young jasper
#

Usually there would be three things that happened while I was moderator once for a Gmod server. We warn, kick, and then ban a person. That's how we usually did it on Gmod at least for me.

#

The process of banning usually was like that.

swift prawn
#

I know that fuckhead, he used every arch based repo on arch

young jasper
#

Ended up getting close to admin, before quitting for health reasons.

swift prawn
#

and that user is consistently saying things out of his ass in the mint server

primal aurora
#

who?

swift prawn
#

fucking hate him

swift prawn
blissful haloBOT
primal aurora
#

ah

young jasper
primal aurora
#

huh somehow hes in valk server lmao

#

thought he would be banned by now

glacial fulcrum
#

the goal is to try and get around 5 new mods, though I'm not confident this round of the election is going to get us there.

swift prawn
swift prawn
#

so you don't need more bots, but use @arctic wren

primal aurora
#

do another round trollll

swift prawn
primal aurora
#

agreed

#

and yagpdb is foss

glacial fulcrum
#

well the goal is that once we have enough mods to keep the server under regular observation we'll be able to expand out the HU pool and run the normal election process

primal aurora
#

yagpdb honestly is probably one of the most advanced bots

swift prawn
glacial fulcrum
#

right now it's midnight and i'm tired as fuck

swift prawn
#

see what I mean?

swift prawn
swift prawn
#

let we have to be nice to him in the mint discord

swift prawn
swift prawn
#

let the best mods come out from this

median flame
#

i wonder why did you ping me out of all people on the server

swift prawn
timid glen
median flame
#

whoa

#

this is cool

swift prawn
#

drip moment

glacial fulcrum
#

note that being nominated just means your profile is on the pollthat the rest of the staff are currently working through.

median flame
#

this is cooler than not being nominated tho

#

(also a completely unrelated note that i have moderator experience)

#

true

primal aurora
#

i have the feeling you are hoping you get mod trollll

glacial fulcrum
#

unlikely right now tbh

#

and no I will not be elaborating on that

swift prawn
sharp mural
#

I though this was yesterday 😭

timid glen
#

It got delayed to Friday

sharp mural
#

Oh

glacial fulcrum
#

no it wasalways friday

sharp mural
#

Oh

glacial fulcrum
#

but I might delay it depending on if everyone on the team has filled out the poll in time

swift prawn
primal aurora
#

just spam ping mods 100 times to get everyone to fill out /j

swift prawn
timid glen
timid glen
swift prawn
glacial fulcrum
#

I processed the data from it today and made the internal poll for the mods to fill out

timid glen
sharp mural
#

@mod

glacial fulcrum
#

and the decisions are being reached tomorrow if everything goes according to plan

sharp mural
#

Unhelpful and helpful wowsers!

glacial fulcrum
#

however based on the fact that only 2 mods have submitted so far I'm not confident in our ability to complete the process in time to do the ceremony tomorrow

#

I don't think an extra hour is going to help much

#

I already have a pretty good idea of what the results are going to be tbh

#

22:30-23:30 is only a difference of one hour

arctic wrenBOT
#
glacial fulcrum
#

yes I rigged the whole thing so that i'll win it

#

no it means i get demoted back to mod

#

because existing mods were definitely in the nominee pool and not removed as one of the first steps for cleaning the data up

#

yes

#

someone went in and nominated me and anna

#

with usernames instead of IDs of course

swift prawn
glacial fulcrum
#

anyone who put in usenames instead of IDs had their submission removed from the data

swift prawn
#

I think this weekend would be a good time to announce the new mods

#

~~actually use russian roulette when needing a mod when shit goes out of hand trollll ~~

glacial fulcrum
#

anyway after the election ends I'll release all of the materials used in the process for transparency

#

but i'm keeping everything private now for dramatic effect

swift prawn
#

already did, just suggesting stuff, mods can choose the best timing

#

I still need to get good at tux kart game

#

even if I don't mod I would like to pre congratulate the winning mods

glacial fulcrum
#

and i'm quite certain they're getting mod since they were already being considered before the election was started

#

but i'm not telling who

swift prawn
#

I know who

#

transparency on a server is great, giving a great reputation to a server

glacial fulcrum
#

yall get to stew in anticipation

#

i cannot confirm nor deny this

swift prawn
#

What-

glacial fulcrum
#

i cannot confirm nor deny this

swift prawn
#

understandable. that's why mods can choose a better day until everything is ready

swift prawn
#

14:00 EST is 00:30 in my time..

glacial fulcrum
#

getting the whole mod team here together to vote on a poll seems to be like herding cats

swift prawn
#

I can be there, I guess.

#

I am surprised

swift prawn
#

No way my pfp is from the web

glacial fulcrum
#

see the fun part is that I already know all of the lore and yall don't

swift prawn
#

arch Linux server lore

glacial fulcrum
#

so now if you get mod you have to install jesus ubuntu and if electron gets mod you have to install manjaro?

primal aurora
#

do you have to like dual boot both if both happen

glacial fulcrum
#

yes.

#

if you don't hold true on these bets you're banned.

sharp mural
#

I forgot Linux Mario kart existed

swift prawn
#

The event does not require voice chat right?

glacial fulcrum
primal aurora
#

no do it regularly

swift prawn
#

not too keen on being on voice chat for privacy reasons so I'll just do chat

primal aurora
#

you are so unsure this will happen so you are fine

swift prawn
#

also I may or may not be there, it's the middle of midnight.

glacial fulcrum
#

you're only even going to be allowed to speak if you're getting mod

swift prawn
#

Right, ok then.

primal aurora
#

manjaro is safe, Ubuntu ce maybe not as much

glacial fulcrum
#

I have a much worse suggestion than ither

primal aurora
#

but don't go back on your promise

#

you agreed it had to be daily

glacial fulcrum
#

apartheid linux

swift prawn
#

Use temple OS on bare metal

#

Or a distro with Linux-libre

primal aurora
#

daily driver

glacial fulcrum
primal aurora
#

in this case it still has to be your main os

#

no vm of trickery

#

bare metal

#

doesn't count imp

#

imo

#

it's still in a separate distro

glacial fulcrum
#

no you are running it bare metal

primal aurora
#

so the distro running the vm would be your daily driver

glacial fulcrum
#

i'll be enforcing this

primal aurora

glacial fulcrum
#

unless you want to pull a trump

primal aurora
#

well please enforce bare metal

#

scammer

glacial fulcrum
#

you can install it on a flash drive

primal aurora
#

manjaro is safe

#

Ubuntu ce not as much

#

not if it's unmounted

#

why would it care that much about your data

#

it has no fucking idea who you are

glacial fulcrum
#

ubuntu SE is more based than CE

primal aurora
#

fr

#

doing ce for the funny though

#

lmao Ubuntu isn't stealing that

#

big corps use Ubuntu all the time

#

the ce part I doubt as well

#

if you are so paranoid investigate the code and test it in vm to see if it does that

#

look you will be fine

#

you promised and you can't go back

#

no vm

#

bare metal only

#

if you care so much unplug your nvme

#

why not

#

there should be a m.2 slot

#

and you might be able to disable in bios

#

not really

#

you can open anything with enough dedication and hammers

#

cmonnn

#

tbh just make a script to auto shutdown if it gets mounted

#

should be simple enough to make

#

it's harder

#

Ubuntu ce isn't stealing your shit

#

just look at source code if you are that paranoid

#

or investigate yourself in vm

#

they are too busy like idk what christians do yo steal your data

#

and they don't expect anyone with valuable data to use it

#

they expect just random christian people to use it

timid glen
#

This whole time when you were saying CE I thought you meant Windows CE not Ubuntu Christian Edition and I didn’t make the connection until now.

primal aurora
#

and someone probably would have caught on by now, it's not a terribly obscure distro

#

anyhow it's getting late, I should sleep

#

alright but you have to make it as close to the original as possible

#

If it’s using their DNS servers I would say yea (for privacy reasons).

nope make it as close as possible

cloud void
#

@glacial fulcrum I don't think I can be a mod
I'm irresponsible as hell

#

I mean if I just have to do something once a week I guess that's fine

#

But like, my schedule is pretty full guh

potent flare
#

why do i get the feeling that everyone's gonna reject the offer lol

vivid bison
#

idk

#

i also have that feeling

swift prawn
#

Perhaps a lot will.

#

It's just natural selection in a different way trollface

timid glen

Auto-selection
(As in self)

i'm still confused who chose me

elfin sail

#

No one chose me :/

swift prawn
#

too bad trollface

#

I am surprised I got voted in somehow

glacial fulcrum
#

more likely in 3 hours I'm forced to delay it because literaly only 2 mods have actually filled the poll out

olive cove
glacial fulcrum

primal aurora

so no mod actually responded

glacial fulcrum
#

2 did

primal aurora
#

EVERYONE SPAM PING MODS TO FILL OUT THE FORM /j (please dont)

glacial fulcrum

but I can't actually complete an election with just 2 votes

young jasper

Sigh

this rice will make me a mod 100% 😍

primal aurora

its cool but not that impressive ngl

swift prawn
#

every single part of the window is drawn

#

and saved as a C array

primal aurora
#

its basically the defaults for old stuff

swift prawn
#

yeah

#

goofy xpm files

glacial fulcrum

Not even 50% of the currently active mods voted tho

hasty crag
swift prawn

gnetmoo

glacial fulcrum

Can yall maybe take that ti #theming-archived instead of here

primal aurora
#

basically the only people who will give you a response id dsay

#

lu is a maybe

#

they are semi active

There are chances I will be sleeping during the ceremony, but congrats to the future mods

#

oh

#

i thought it was delayed by a few hours only

olive cove
#

delayed until enough mods/admins cast their votes

serene rover
#

I mean we aren't waiting for all of them

#

but this morning thanos said only 2 people voted

primal aurora
#

fjorge please convince everyone to vote

#

2 people still

#

moderators are secretely not voting so they can delay it by 5 years and take over the server and start a dictatorship /j

#

nvm its atl

primal aurora
#

@glacial fulcrum bump

#

@serene rover any idea

serene rover
#

stop pinging all of us -_-

#

thanos will see it when they see it

primal aurora
#

sorry

glacial fulcrum
#

Idk i have to make a new plan now

#

Since the event was a bust I used the time to get some irl shit knocked out instead of babysitting discord

primal aurora
#

ok

#

so do we plan to like reschedule the event or redo the polling

glacial fulcrum
#

I'll probably just run the mod polling without a time limit now and schedule the even when it's done

primal aurora
#

ok

#

you should probably say in #announcements

swift prawn
#

I agree

#

this

glacial fulcrum
#

I'm getting there

#

My PC is like 15 miles away right now

primal aurora
#

ok

I'm going to sleep

vivid bison

delayed again trollface

sharp mural
#

Noooooooooooooooooooooo

glacial fulcrum
#

no they will not

swift prawn
#

why is a promotion ceremony a thing

serene rover
#

tbh idk

glacial fulcrum
#

fun mostly

swift prawn
#

The first fucking server I joined had a question "why do you think you're better than others for this position" for a mod role

high pond
primal aurora
kindred zenith
#

not even mod or admin

#

just helper

#

(I got the position emptuffer)

swift prawn
#

h

#

ypr

dawn light
#

I want the unhelpful role lol

glacial fulcrum
#

when I went to go work at walmart I had a like 5 minute phone conversation with the guy that would be my supervisor where he basically just confirmed that I'm physically able to work at walmart and then I was in

#

and then I'm immediately just trusted to handle my entire net worth in merchandise every single day

late chasm
#

What's going on with this mod ceremony lol

young jasper
#

The mods/admins have to vote.

late chasm
#

How is this up to them lol

young jasper
#

Our vote helped in deciding a few people that should be voted upon.

#

A lot of people were thrown out for self-nominating or screwing up in just putting a username.

late chasm
#

That would just be the same situation that got Liz truss into the UK gov lol

young jasper
#

Or otherwise, people who have broken the rules.

swift prawn
#

how would they know it's a self vote?

young jasper
#

Because they are required to put their name on to vote.

late chasm
young jasper
#

Yes.

#

It's correct.

late chasm
#

And then voting for themselves

young jasper
#

Well it usually depends on how long they've joined.

#

So far the number of people that might get mod were pinged.

#

Including me.

#

#1171999104725942325 message

late chasm
#

Ok, so what if I were to go to the form in tor, select 3 randoms from the server list, then put myself as first choice with some bs reason, 2 of the randoms with other bs reasons then the third random as the person submitting

young jasper
#

That's why a mod vote would happen.

#

To weedout anything trolly.

#

The staff vote

#

etc

late chasm
#

Ah so the 3 people I voted for because they sent train photos won't be nominated?

#

That's sad

primal aurora
#

any updates?

glacial fulcrum
#

which is why the nominations weren't thesole deciding factor.

glacial fulcrum
#

but I'm going to need to talk to everyone because at this rate only one person is getting promoted and that's not really going to be enough.

#

basically the nominations were there to get people on our radar and give us some basic metrics for how the community views them.

#

anything obvious like someone just putting the same id 3 times was removed while I was processing the data

primal aurora
#

ok

light forge
#

have you considered abducting vegan and forcing them to moderate at gunpoint

glacial fulcrum
#

yes, but there are several moral and ethical problems with doing so, and as such I've decided against it

swift prawn
potent forge
primal aurora
late chasm
#

Vegancookies banned themselves because of covid?

swift prawn
keen meadow
#

What about forgetting about this vote and just choose new mods at discretion like usual

#

Just take people that seems active, trustworthy, and displays the ability to act with reason

#

Vegan was a good mod, but I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have been the kind to be elected in such a "community election process"

#

It doesn't take a thorough study to see who would be fit either

#

I'll remind everyone that both the community and the staff has concluded months ago that new mods are needed, and here we are with even less moderation power than before. This situation is kind of ridiculous.

swift prawn
swift prawn
young jasper
#

It's mostly just us nominating people.

primal aurora
#

any updates about the election

kindred zenith
#

^

primal aurora
#

they only said to not ping and they will see when they see it

serene rover
#

thanks for not pinging btw :)

primal aurora
#

do you know of any updates?

serene rover
#

I think only thanos knows

#

at the very least thanos hasn't told me anything

primal aurora
#

seems like the elections done for

#

hope not

#

not really

#

i thought the election would go through

#

@glacial fulcrum apologies for the ping but thoughts on all this

#

if we only had the community nomination phase thats a good way for trolls to spam the poll and for.. not ideal people to be elected

#

our other option is standard moderation forums and i doubt there are enough current mods to handle that

swift prawn
#

Just checking about any news about elections

#

Not asking

serene rover
#

literally the same thing if you're gonna send a message about it

primal aurora
#

so im taking it as the election is joever

swift prawn
#

I just hope the idea doesn't dies or gets delayed forever

primal aurora
#

to be fair wasnt the election planned to be last friday

#

its only been like 4 days

#

id say give it a week or so and then we can call it dead

swift prawn
#

Well.. waiting for Thanos updates

primal aurora
#

imo thanos needs to be able to be a bit more transparent about it

swift prawn
#

But it needs a deadline

primal aurora
#

unless they are already as transparent as they can

swift prawn
#

I thought Thanos said they were almost there with new mods

primal aurora
#

its possiblt there just arent any notable events

swift prawn
#

I don't want to ping them tho

primal aurora
#

i alr pinged thme

swift prawn
#

But it's true that enough time has passed to address the moderation election and nomination

serene rover
swift prawn
#

I think 2 weeks is enough time

serene rover
#

bred said they voted

#

forgor to mention

primal aurora
#

how does the mod vote process even work

#

is it like a @arctic wren poll

swift prawn
#

How about scheduling a deadline for mod ceremony?

serene rover
#

but with like 8 mods, with half of them being pretty inactive (me included), there probably isn't much news to be had

#

porque?

swift prawn
serene rover
#

about what?

swift prawn
#

Others may appeal to it if needed

serene rover
#

uh sure? would prefer if you opened a ticket so other mods could see if that's not an issue though

swift prawn
#

As long the process doesn't die and gets buried

serene rover
#

how about admins only?

swift prawn
#

Anyways, hope there's some sort of deadline to address the new mods election

serene rover
#

ok

#

there's an adminsonly command for tickets

primal aurora
#

what are you talking about outa curiosity

serene rover
#

try it and see if it works

swift prawn
#

Or server will go downhill as stated long time ago on this thread

primal aurora
#

i think the mod election will happen it will just take a bit

swift prawn
#

Personally I don't want it to go back to bad habits as stated by @primal aurora

primal aurora
#

yep

#

it will hopefully happen eventually however

arctic wrenBOT
#

This command can only be ran in a active ticket

swift prawn
#

We have the chance to improve things, we better take it

serene rover
#

oh yeah open the ticket first

#

then do that

arctic wrenBOT
#

Ticket #1441 opened in #1176368931167010897

serene rover
#

forgor

primal aurora
#

name of all time

swift prawn
primal aurora
#

same

swift prawn
#

Because this needs to be addressed

#

Best deadline tho would be this weekend

#

Because enough time has passed already

kindred zenith
#

is dogshit man and gore man here

serene rover
#

my bet would be that thanos just picks some people from the nomination for mod

kindred zenith
#

sorry i had bad phrasing

swift prawn
kindred zenith
#

then it isnt super urgent imo

swift prawn
#

At least I haven't seen it when I'm around after vegancookies era

primal aurora
#

we rarely get gore spammers

glacial fulcrum
#

there is one thing I can do now though

primal aurora
#

ok

#

what is it?

glacial fulcrum
#

@primal aurora you're basically gonna win regardless at this point

#

so do your accept your position?

primal aurora
#

ill give it a shot

glacial fulcrum
#

alright congratulations on becoming our first new mod

primal aurora
#

yooo

#

is there anything i need to know about?

glacial fulcrum
#

I probably should have waited until properly finishing this thing but you literally had 100% approval

#

we can talk in the cool kids zone #mods

primal aurora
#

ok

#

When you become mod

#

Anyways, congrats!

id rather break my computer with a sledgehammer instead of using gnome no plugins light theme

glacial fulcrum

If i was given the choice of either using gnome light theme no plugins or going full ted i'd choose the latter

primal aurora
#

gnome no plugins is still horrible

swift prawn
#

gnome atpCap

primal aurora
#

basically no difference

#

you said no catches earlier

#

and you would have done the latter regardless of me making a bet

i never agreed to anything
