I think there are other trusted forum regulars* who should also be promoted to IK's. The D&D mods rightfully leave this thread alone for the most part, so we need to make sure that there are enough people around to prevent a repeat of what happened the other night. Having more IK's might make the thread feel like a safer space for a few of the lurkers to start :justpost:'ing....

And on the subject

it's round, like always

quote:

The Palestinian flag, coloured in the Pan-Arab colors of red, green, white and black, has historically been banned at times in Israel, leading to the locally-grown and similarly-coloured watermelon taking its place in Palestinian iconography as an alternative for decades.

for real this should be a friendly and nice place to post and anyone coming along in bad faith to ruin that vibe will be shitcanned from here on :)



couple quick tips since I'm fine with adding a couple more and may as well do it here rather than in pms:

- you can edit thread titles and maybe do other things (slowmode?)
- six hour probations are autoapproved and you have buttons for queueing anything, but in practice anything above a day should probably be made our problem unless a chain probe for a bit would be extremely funny
- you can't get an automatic new sixer until the person's existing probation runs out, this gets especially confusing for IKs who get promoted to mods and have six hour placeholder probations embedded in muscle memory
- IKs can't see reports, for the protection of your sanity

well yeah it's a bad idea

I don't remember if IKs can do polls and anyway the code for that is wacky-rear end, you can only ever have one (1) poll in a thread unless you ask the admins to delete it

don't remember if iks can sticky threads but there's obviously no real reason to sticky this one, it's both regional and active

Indeed. Did not our former Dear Leader, Bo Jo of the Johnsons, write a book using "watermelon smiles" as a racial slur?

Come on side effect of SSRI meds for depression & anxiety is an increased risk of suicidal thoughts, especially in the first 4-8 weeks on them. Combine that with another common side effect, erectile dysfunction, & starting SSRIs can be a pretty bad time.

I do sometimes wonder if they don't just intentionally make medicine with ironic side effects.

Oh I wasn't making a seriousness comparison or anything. Just thought it was funny. Sorry :(

Sorry. I thought people knew the watermelon was a pro Palestine thing. People have been using it in their Twitter names and bios for a while now. Not that that means there is any truth to the ludicrous accusation about that TV Show
