The Importance of Electing Competent Moderators

[there]

---

Members do not see this ad.

As if to prove he's the most incompetent moderator ever elected, Tae managed to not only close his oh so valuable sticky thread, but also the discussion thread.

Let's at least let leorl respond, Tae.

Argue well.

 

[Idiopathic]

You are creeping me out...7 posts, all directed toward why tae is a bad monitor...trolling much?

 

[there]

Well, it was just such a horrendous mistake to pick this guy (who lists "network servers" as one of his interests -- I kid you not) when there are dozens of others that actually have something meaningful to contribute. Someone should have said something long ago.

And I chimed in on that Miss Wisconsin thread too.😉

 

[Idiopathic]

So...you have been a member less than 3 days. Who did you used to be?

 

[there]

QuinnNSU?!? -- maybe I'm just a little bitter that I wasn't elected.😎

Bring it.

 

[kpax18]

hmm, i wonder what is it that you have against tae???
has he offended you in any way?
all i see is that you are bitter toward his response to lealf-ye's posts and sounds like you and lealf-ye are the same person, since that person sort of disappeared and now you are posting. just my observation.

there,
Are you even applying to DO schools or just decided to start arguing in pre-DO forum?

Can't one do both?

lealf-ye...doh!...I mean there.

 

[kpax18]

you havent answered my question....what's with the animosity toward tae????

 

[DrLady]

ha! Yeah u can. I think I know who you are..but then again I am not so sure! I think i am more amused by your posts than annoyed because I know you are purposely trying to create an argument!

Ok, this is the last time. I promise.😀

 

[kpax18]

why are you scared to explain yourself?
all you have been saying are how tae has been a bad moderator due to some technical issues. however, I do notice your bitterness coming from the DO/MD issue and toward tae's response to your statement regarding DO stigma. other than that, you dont have much of an argument.

don't pick someone who simply throws fuel on the fire ... but instead, pick someone who has been contributing in a meaningful way.

Somehow this post of yours from another thread is quite amusing. I don't know what your "real" problem with Tae is, but if your sole purpose here is to start threads or make posts attacking SDNers (mods or not), you'll soon find yourself banned for violating the TOS.

As to your complaints about the sticky: if you look at the other forums you'll find that a number of the mods have closed stickies with gen'l information relating to that forum. This is a means for the mods to get out information that they deem useful.

Oh, here we are. The Queen of Post Padding herself. And this statement is amusing because it's such an anti-moderator thing to do, I assume?

You're having trouble figuring out my "real problem" too, huh? Well, let's put it this way then, if someone hung you or kpax for being the quickest studies here they'd be hanging the wrong people.

Here are the key differences, and try hard to follow along, their closed stickies actually convey helpful and/or interesting information. Not redundant links and general knowledge flight information that no one would deem useful. And when they closed their stickies, they didn't also close the nearest discussion thread.

BTW, if you're looking for something amusing around here, you might ponder the fact that that no one has yet argued that poor Tae's information has been useful to them, or that his making stupid statements in an attempt to incite others is good policy for a moderator.

It's your profession. You can ban those that are fighting to improve your image (even at the expense of a couple of mods having some feelings hurt); or you can get off your lazy ass and clean this **** up like you should have started doing about 7000 posts ago.

Now, back to the lounge you go.

man, somebody really has no clue what being a moderator is like, lol. a profession? nice

seriously man-- your complaints have been noted-- why keep going on and on about it? you risk losing any credibility you have left by being so extreme and, well, trollish.

Or maybe he was referring to the Osteopathic profession, like he was in all of his previous posts? Surely not.

Welcome to kpax's close inner circle of Having Trouble Keeping Up. You'll fit in fine there.😀

touche' 🙂 lol me caveman. me read gud.

i realize why you're doing this, i just think maybe you should back off a bit. you're obviously passionate about it, but you need to realize you're losing your credibility by being so abrasive.

Much of this crap could be done away with if the moderator would simply explain, in a clear and concise manner, why DOs are in the position that they are in. This would probably involve a brief history of the profession, a quick discussion of where it is heading, etc. Could simply be a cut and paste from an intelligent post from the past.

good idea. since you're so passionate about this, why don't you put something together and once you post it tkim can sticky it for you? there's at least one of your complaints solved. 🙂

If this is your idea of supporting or improving the image of DOs, this is sure an odd way of doing it.

As to your reason for having your panties in such a wad: I can't imagine that anyone would actually get so worked up over some stickies. And please note that mods often confer with each other about what they are doing. Tae is definitely not acting as a loose cannon around here. I support his moderating actions 100%.

 

[Amy B]

Why in the world are we letting this poster post. There obviously have nothing to add to our group. I say get rid of there, he/she don't belong and are purposely trying to bait us all, especially our moderators.

Give there the boot!

 

[Deuce 007 MD]

If anything it is entertaining.

News flash: he's messing with us. Don't play his game.

I think it's quite pathetic that "there" would voice such a crude post about a moderator. If you have such a problem with Tae then don't post on SDN. It's here for the people who care about medicine and sharing information - not for people bitching about nothing of importance. You have way too much time on your hands - get a life.

Could work; but then I'd have to monitor all of his posts and make sure he didn't throw out one of his usual responses on the MD/DO threads, and make sure he didn't stick more useless crap to the top, and teach him how to use the board. Too much trouble. Here's what we'll do instead -- make me a moderator. I think it's safe to say there is fairly broad support for that here.

All I'm saying is that we should impeach Tae...

and then ban him from this board, and then dress him up like Yasser Arafat, confine him to his compound and sic the Israelis on him. . . .
Oh, OK, wait..., I see what you mean now by being a little too abrasive. Impeaching him is enough.

1. First, Grandma, don't ever mention panties again. It's sexy when hot, young girls do it, but when older, heavier-set types use the word it makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit (Ferenzz will back me up on this).
2. Your inability to understand the issue has gone from comedic to sad, in a kpax-ish sort of way.
3. Thanks for clarifying your position -- that one was a shocker. So, you're 100% behind Tae, if I understand you corrrectly.
4. And finally, the only reason I wear panties is because they are more comfortable, and more styles/fabrics are offered compared to mens underwear.

   Amy B & Forensic Chick, what can I say? {{{hugs}}}

you would, *but* . . . lol. let's cross those other bridges when we get there-- you type up what you are proposing, then we'll see how things go once we sticky it. if it works as well as you think, we may not have many MD/DO threads to worry about.

type it up and post in the the forum and *i'll* sticky the damn thing. 🙂

Did you begin yet? "Lealf-ye" seems to be getting a head start on you 😉 Good strategy, I must say.

 

[lealf-ye]

I just happened to come across this thread.
Interestingly, people try to connected me with "there".
I am not a native English speaker and I guess "there" is, but not sure. A good way to figure it out.

Also, seem to me, SDN is using IP address , your computer serial number or storing something in your computer to know who you are. So it is unlikely one can register with two user names. except one has two computers with two different IP addresses. But I am not sure if it is true. At least I don't have to log in to post.

 

[DOtobe]

Isn't it a coincidence that there disappears as soon as lealf-ye comes back? Maybe because
there = lealf-ye

🙄

This reminds me something called "witch hunting". What do you think?

 

[lealf-ye]

My mistake, SDN use cookies to identify who you are. So in theory, you can login as two different people with one computer. However, I did not try.

 

[cmudan]

This thread is great. It is amazing that the pre-DO forum is alive and kicking. There is life on planet DO!!!! We need more of this in this lonely, sometimes vacant forum....

Homonculus,
Sorry for the delay. Got a little more caught up with stuff than I thought I would. The sticky post will be available by this weekend -- and it promises to be frighteningly fantastic!

But to tide everyone over, in the meantime I've posted, in true Tae Kim style, a link discussing the importance of a good haircut before your interview. I think a video might even be available 😱

 

[Idiopathic]

Hey, ****nuts. Lay off DrMom or I will personally make my way to whatever bridge you live under and we will see who comes out...it wont be you. Go find your center, fool.

All your opinions are belong to us

there won't be picking on Dr. Mom anymore, because he/she has been banned!
