exquisite tea posted:Mods should be like jury duty. Just pick like 4 of the Top 50 posters at random from every subforum that gets more than 10 posts a day and give them buttons for 30 days, with a small stipend for their troubles. No. Like seriously, no. Someone gets probed by a goon they don't like for a flimsy reason? What happens when they get picked to mod and start grudge probing back. Terrible, terrible idea.

NoiseAnnoys posted:thinkin' of getting a young dog that will ideally chill with our two year old cat, but every time i ask pet island for advice about cats, i get drowned out by some dude who can't remember to clean the cat's litterbox asking why his entire life smells like cat piss. so i'm asking here: It can depend a lot on the temperament of the dog and cat. I knew my cat was indifferent to dogs that didn't bother her because she's had dogs visit before. It might help you gauge the cat's reaction if you know someone who could stop by with a cat-friendly or at least cat-socialized dog to see how your cat feels, too. See if you can dog-sit for an afternoon and figure out what the cat does. Do give her a place to retreat to like a tall cat tree or another room where the dog can't go. Besides that, you can always check at rescues if a dog has been tested with cats, small dogs, children, etc. and ask how they reacted to all of those, and a lot of rescues are open to doing a "test visit" in the home. Some breeds can have stronger prey drives that a cat sets off, but that's not a guarantee any specific dog is dangerous. My cat has also cohabited with an elderly Jack Russell Terrier mix, who was never aggressive and instead was initially terrified of her, which slowly came around to mild discomfort. Like Boba mentioned, the big thing is making sure any interactions are controlled and done under your observation at first so you can intervene if there's any tension. If you're not around, keep them separated in different rooms or parts of your home. You may wish to kennel the dog when you're not home, etc. Oxxidation posted:I don’t want to sound prejudiced, all I’m saying is there is a derangement in Finnish blood that renders them anathema to the domain of man Comparing Finnish people to Malkavians is making them sound way too cool tbh

Terrible, terrible idea. Well I don't really have an answer for this but I would hope that person would be immediately called out for such behavior, demodded and their spot given to someone else. The idea behind picking 4-5 people from the top posters on each relevant subforum is that they would hopefully represent a broader cross-section of the forums and wouldn't gang up on any one person or group of people in particular. There's grudge probing that happens now except amplified times a million because there's no strict term limit for mods besides getting blown up and banned, which I'd argue is clearly less healthy for the overall state of the forums.

"Top" how? By post count? Because a lot of the time the people who post the most are the people who have nothing else going on in their life that competes for attention. It would be particularly disastrous in the politics boards, but I don't think posting constantly will be a good criteria anywhere. Not to mention it incentivizes the people you least want to have power to post huge volumes of white noise to make sure they're in the running. If we absolutely have to run with this idea, it should be anyone who meets some minimum, perhaps the top sixty percent. Or the middle sixty, to exclude both unknown lurkers and would-be superstars. Because being desperate for attention or recognition is not a trait you want to select for.

It would be particularly disastrous in the politics boards, but I don't think posting constantly will be a good criteria anywhere. I don't know, let's say Top 100 or something? I don't think posting a lot necessarily means posting badly, or that the most frequent posters are all desperate for forums clout or something. One common complaint I've seen a lot of people make lately is that the mods feel really divorced form the forum community at large. Pulling people at random from the same group of posters who contribute most often to that community would I think help to improve some of these systems, since knowing you get 30 days with buttons at most would probably encourage most people to want to make better decisions, rather than "you can be a mod indefinitely." I don't think there's some Goldilocks Zone of postcount where you're going to find all the best, most level-headed mods. Picking from the same group of people who contribute the most to that community at random may not give you perfect modding at all times, but probably much fairer representation. And it would increase the probability that people would actually accept their position as mod, since infrequent posters may not be available.

Firstly you definitely need to make sure to give the cat a place where it can go that the dog can’t. We got a baby gate and walled off the upstairs so the cats could be away from the dog when they wanted. We also made it very clear to the dog not to approach the cats. They can come up to her but she rarely goes up to them. At this point she just walks right by them. She also knows the cats are in at the top of the pecking order. Also keep in mind that you’ll have to figure out where you are going to keep the cat food and water because the dog will definitely eat that poo poo lol. We have a feeding station that the dog can’t get to. Just make sure the cat has its own safe space and you’ll be fine. You definitely have to keep a close eye on things for a while though depending on the dog / breed/ age of the dog. It’s not impossible! It can be a lot of work or you could get hella lucky and get a dog that doesn’t give a poo poo about the cat.
