You Mods need to unclinch your fists a bit

Relevant convo regarding harmony/propaganda

Well I understand Harmony's point of view. However, he should've dropped the Harmony alias if he wanted to move on, or change as Harmony, not keep posting in both accounts.

But I must admit, perhaps Cadillac shouldn't have been so bold. I probably would've done the same thing, but still.

[EnglishClock]

Hah, well.
 HarmonyClock was what I had become, I had joined the ClockCrew in joy and Co.uk/Bitclock and all those ordeals had turned me into a bitter asshole.
 I had become what I hated.
 So I wanted a fresh start

 CadillacClock is the first to know and to care enough to ruin it for me
 It was my last source of joy in the Clockcrew to not be percieved as a total failure
 To not be one of those people

Is that you, Batman?

[Kaijuclock]

Well if the co.uk ordeal made him bitter, than i guess its kinda on me now isn't it? lol

I am a Dwarfinator alt, this is the account I use when I want to go on drunken rants about shit no one cares about.

I got some celebratory cheesecake but I'm afraid my dog ate it. I am now on my knees and screaming while I type this.

[Heliopios]

jesus fucking lord how many more supermods do we need

[Sombra]

jesus fucking lord how many more supermods do we need

no such thing as too many smods

[DWARFINATORclock]

jesus fucking lord how many more supermods do we need

I think the real question is how many more closet homos do we need.

[DiscoBallClock]

All is well when it ends well.

[miracle fruit]

hey guys instead of getting rid of our shitty mods lets add more !!! wowohooh


i wish clockcrew was real so i could fight you all

[DiscoBallClock]

I agree with Miraclefruit to a lesser extent. Will adding 3 mods do something to calm down the several complaints? And I don't think we had a mod shortage or anything.

[DiscoBallClock]

Were you not apart of the conversation where people said, "You should S. Mod Gir?" Because, after that conversation, I talked to VirusClock and... Were you leading me a long, son?

To elaborate on that conversation:

I was speaking to Flounderman, RocketClock, DiscoballClock (I think), and quite a few others. As it was over MSN, I couldn't remember all of there aliases.

First of all I don't have anything against the people that were modded and I think they will do a good job for the most part. I think that the moment wasn't the timeliest.

And second, I don't have your msn, so sadly I didn't partake in such a conversation. You must've mistaken me for someone else.

CC crybabies growing up/not being incredibly stupid might calm the complaints. There were 100 complaints about Cadillac's bans but BEFORE YESTERDAY HE COULD NOT AND HAD NOT BANNED ANYONE. I think everyone should just read what Slurpee said whenever they feel the need to complain.

~`read this`~


straight up, if I saw it as a problem I'd do something about it.
that's like, what I do: try to make good.

but this thread is FULL of people who had no idea that cadillac couldn't ban people, and blaming him and biggs (who btw has zero temporary bans in the system right now) for some imagined oppressive banning spree. I'll restate that: cadillac, who couldn't ban people, and biggs, who hasn't banned anybody for nearly 2 weeks, are being blamed for banning too often.
it says to me the vocal complainers are not even paying nearly enough attention to what's actually going on to be making a qualitative (accusatory) judgement call.
that's point 1.

point 2 is there's no satisfactory link between the state of the staff and the state of individual activity. it's an unfair cognitive leap, brought up in the first post, from a lack of user activity to bad staff policy. we're a flash group. where is the causal connection? we're not supreme overlords of everything you do. it's fucking boogyman bullshit. why is not being free to make threads like this inhibiting your production?
it's like prop said: this is not the clock crew, it's a forum.
if something here is causing you to stop producing, you can just not come here. that's what grey did. effectively the only thing we can do as a staff regarding production is either spur it or not spur it.

point 3: there's no populist interest in these complaints. on this side of the fence, besides caddy, dwarf, and biggs, we've got peyote and maybe wii saying we're not being hard enough, nintendo saying we're doing fine, plus fireman, english, and weenie roast, at a cursory glance. that's 9 people not counting myself or anybody who didn't make a strong assertion either way, versus what appears, again, at a cursory glance, to be tequila and prop complaining about things that happened specifically to them, harmony complaining about three people (biggs caddy and clam), who have a collective zero temporary bans in the system supposedly banning people too much, and chalk "one 2-year-old flash movie under his belt" clock complaining about a lack of activity while assiduously NOT involving himself in any capacity, with flash of the month, cca, nanowrimo, or the upcoming flash flood or bill murray week. do the words "vocal minority" mean anything to you?

the only conclusion I can draw is that this is 4 or possibly 5 people taking complete bunk and blowing it out of proportion.
the rapidity with which you, yoyo, slingshotted from ambivalence as to the quality of the moderating staff and general disapproval at the state of site activity to here, where now you're saying there's this huge disconnect between the staff and the userbase and we're lording it over you and ruining it for new members and we all need to come together and make big changes- it's a pretty good metaphor for the root cause of the unrest, and this thread overall: general despondence leading to unrest, and misplaced blame.

if the staff responses in this thread seem needlessly arrogant or aggressive, it's because this shit has been apparent to all of us for the entire thread and we've been alternatively laughing and groaning about how ridiculous it is, while you guys type up these essays that I'm probably the only one who even bothers to read (let far and alone bother explaining the reality of the situation in response.)

so who then, exactly, needs to unclench?

[miracle fruit]

i wasnt one who accused cadillac of anything but i couldve sworn he was a super mod before at one time

but you all seem pretty sure about yourselves so im probably wrong

[DWARFINATORclock]

I am always right.

[Faygo]
