Get high and think of me.


Let's Play is such a rowdy rootin'-tootin' moshpit of a subforum (not really, you're all sweethearts and very well-behaved) that we've decided to enlist an extra moderator!

Blind Sally is here to transform the Let's Play moderation team from a Dynamic Duo into a Tremendous Trio. He's very kind and unlike me he posts good.

Please give him a warm welcome!

Seriously though I'm fine with this. Please don't probate me Sally :tinfoil:

Actually I thought about it some more and if you probate nine-gear crow for losing the keys to his LP I'll be 200% cool with this.

I'm already 100% cool about it but I could be 200% cool about it instead.

Remember people, your new mod LP'd PlayStation Home. This has nothing to do with anything. I just wanted to remind everyone of that.


EDIT: Quick! Perma everyone in the Ace Combat threads! Even Artix!

Thanks, everyone! I vow to moderate with good grace, humour, and all due diligence. My promise to you is to not sticky so many threads that they spill over onto the second page of the subforum.

Or, well, I'll at least try not to sticky too many.

It's hard keeping track of the 20 different mods this forum gets over the year, so I hope this mod, whoever they are, is a benevolent and wonderful person who has many great lps under their belt.

Is it considered mod sass to demand that Sally get off his rear end and do a new Wrestling Manager LP? Because that's a thing that needs to be done :argh:

That's still coming. I've got the program, I just need to square a few things away first. Besides, you need to come up with a new character anyway since Shockrocket got promoted to SLW's head of the Science Division.

Waaaaaaayyyy ahead of you on that point: can you say 'evil interdimensional twins?' If so, then get ready for SLW2: This Time, It's Not All Doktor Shockrocket's Fault, Probably

Blind Sally's LP of PlayStation @home was one of the greatest things to from from this beloved Sub-Forum.

From what Fedule has said in between our recording sessions, quite the opposite. LP is remarkably well behaved. :shrug:

The few times I do look at other forums' reports, LP generally has barely any. I'm jealous.

Fedule

No one left uncured.
I got you.
Yeah, LP is, on the whole, pretty well behaved. Sometimes we'll go weeks without a report, and then when one comes in it might not even be actionable. Sometimes, the reports come in waves, which usually means someone's posted a spoiler in a no-spoiler thread and started a cascade spoil-a-thon.

Mostly I put this down to LP threads being - despite their relatively long interest-life and post count - very specifically limited in interest and having a single person (or group) run the show. It's not like a lot of forums where any person passing by might have something to say; it's just people who are here to consume some Content™ and have a little chat, and a lot of times people will pipe down if the OP asks nicely (or just closes the thread with prejudice).

Purely by volume, LP could be moderated in any other mod's spare mod time. We could have Mega do it, he's even a Known Guy around here! But we have multiple mods anyway, because;

1) Coverage. Like I said in the rules thread, we'll never have mod eyes on more than a small fraction of ongoing threads. Not everything gets reported, and being able to get on top of a situation before someone has to call the LP police is never a bad thing.

2) Coverage again; we'd like to be reasonably sure we can always respond quickly if something happens that requires a fast response, and now we have mods in multiple timezones.

3) Second opinions. Quite a few times Jordan or I have felt like doing one thing, and then discussed a bit, and then ended up agreeing on another. Hell, sometimes in the time it takes to just raise something for discussion you'll have an insight you wouldn't have got while engaging immediately or reasoning on your own (in the software business, we call this Rubber Duck Debugging). None of this is possible with only one mod!
