If they want to run the thread titles the way they're doing it, it's fine. But it does lead to situations where mods like me Kramer in without knowing the culture of the thread and do things like change the title and such. okay so, can one of y'all change the thread title back to the thong one, then? that one was funny

If using the report function to request title changes is standard across other threads, why not just adopt it for this thread or discuss it with the mods or something? Weird as hell seeing an IK/mod fight in a popular thread. From what I understand, IKing a thread is supposed to be tolerable if not enjoyable. If it was just constantly making me mad, I'd take a break.

I assume that what happened is that in this case, someone who meant well but wasn't aware of the existing thread title change rules made a report as would be done in another thread--but because it was specifically changed to one an IK would not have approved, it looked like someone trying to go over their heads to get their way. I think they stick to in-thread requests and PMs because not every modmin who sees a report can be expected to be aware of the 'only from the original stories' thread title rule (which was a whole messy derail of its own iirc).

Pages back but this was my experience as well. I even had a thermodynamics professor come in with stacks of Manila folders with loose sheets of unbound copies of his draft. We all got bonus points if we caught a typo or bad grammar that no one else caught. I am pretty sure this is the only A I ever got at Cal. Pretty sure it was the only textbook I read practically cover to cover as well.

deety posted:This one got me too. It sounds like the way a little kid would explain the characters in a movie that they don't really understand. "He's a scientist and she works for a company." I read it as he doesn't want to say the name of her company, nor give her position. Or, he doesn't fully understand her corporate position/title nor her job responsibilities, and has simplified it in his head as "she works doing high powered corporate stuff in an office". As for the situation, Jeez that sucks for everyone involved and the parents are Grade A arseholes. It's one thing to say to your son "Don't marry that girl, (because she has different coloured skin to us)". That would be bad enough. But to do the work to find the fiancee's work email, and set up fake accounts to send her racist abuse is an entirely different level. Sucks that the OP had to find out his parents are petty vindictive racists like this, but hopefully he will be better off without them in his life. Sucks also for the fiancee, who is dealing with a difficult work time, unwarranted racist abuse, and she also has to deal with potentially losing her fiance, (who seems like a decent enough person). Edit: Re-read the post. They are not even engaged. The OP's parents are hosed up enough to go to all this trouble because he is dating someone whose race they disapprove of.

Yeah it's an honest mistake, I think 90% of my reports ever are asking for changes to the raised by wolves thread title in TV IV lol so I'd probably do the same here by accident. My girlfriend (26F) criticizes me (25M) in the form of jokes instead of just being straightforward with me. quote:Tl;dr: My girlfriend keeps making “jokes” that seem like veiled criticisms of whatever grievances she has with me, and then uses “it was just a joke” as defense when I get upset.

It could maybe have been phrased better, but IKs don’t see reports, so it’s futile at best. It’s a stressful time of year, let’s give people a pass for being a bit snappy at small annoyances. TW and Corky do a good job with this thread, and I appreciate them, their IK work and their posts. And TW’s cats.

AITA for not wanting to give my adult stepdaughter her own room in our new home?quote:Throwaway + fake names. AITA for causing my ex-girlfriend's father to lose his job quote:A while back I (M 40's) dated a woman (F 30's) whose father (M 60's) was a nice enough person, but a bit overprotective of his adult daughter. After about a month of dating and without any reason to do so, he ran a full background check on me, including a credit check, without my knowledge or permission. It came back clean and my girlfriend told me about it immediately after the fact. I noticed the 5-point hit to my credit rating, but that wasn't a big deal.
