So many good options out there, but somehow I'm a moderator.

In any case, now I see why mods come in to threads every now and then to knock heads together.

So try to keep the self-posting to a minimum, catfish?

Alright, so after reading through all the reports for BFC, which all seem to come out of this thread, I'd like to add:

-Self posts. Again, please watch the excessive self posts. If you must bring yourself in to it, please make it relevant to someone being bad with money.

- Politics. :gonk:

Good example: Post about someone who makes some financial decision based on changes they think the government is going to make, only to realize that it's the government and they screw everything up, costing that person money.
Bad example: Pushing your political ideology. I don't care if you're liberal, conservative, or whatever a Jill Stein is. But holy poo poo people get personal with their views. Leave that in D&D.

There's someone in one of the IT threads who was making 6 figures and picked up a pretty big house in DFW for $200,000 before the prices started climbing. It seems like it's a matter of buying before the market realizes it could get more.

Well that will teach me to skim. I figured it was funding through Bitcoin and we all know what happens when Bitcoin comes in to play.

TB and I obviously aren't the best of friends, but misgendering and de-personing her is some bullshit. You can give your mod guidance in a way that's not demeaning.

I don't think it's the games as much as having stuff no one else has and filling up whole wall shelving units with box after box. It's a form of hoarding. A friend of mine will bring all kinds of obscure and overly complex board games to get togethers when all I want to play is Axis & Allies.

This same woman was the mother of three kids. Even before she quit, she bought generic store-brand beefaroni for them and bought name-brand for herself, hiding it on the top shelf where they couldn't see it.

I know the other stuff is more bad with money but hot drat this one is mean. It's supposed to be the other way around. Give your kids the better one and eat the cheap stuff yourself.

Already read it.

Volmarias posted:

To play devil's advocate, sometimes your kids actively demand the garbage and get upset if you try to give them something good (or just don't eat more than two bites before being "done").

However, hiding the good stuff from them unless it's a kind of food you don't want them to have at all (soda, etc) is horribly indicative...

Same, it's an interesting read.

Self-posting here, but if my parents wanted something specific for themselves like Yodels or Ring Dings or something, they would have to hide them because my ravenous teenage self would eat them all. But they never did that generic for me, name brand for them thing.

Also thanks to those who added to the Ye Olde BWM contest
