      Friends, country men, lend me your...
      ...wait I remember how that goes. Please don't throw ears at me.

      ANYWAY. Arkandel approached me to ask if I'd help out on the administrative side. Mostly in regards to thread management (splitting things off to the Pit when necessary, etc.), though there may be times of stepping in if things get a bit too heated elsewhere.

      If you need something admin-side and Ark isn't around, feel free to reach out to me.

          As Arkandel noted, I will be helping him and Auspice monitoring the threads.

          I will try to curb my excessive, effusive use of cute .gifs to communicate.

          If you can't reach Ark or Aus, I will try to assist. I'm always available to chat about this place too.

              It goes without saying that one of the few things worse than staffing on a Mu* is staffing on an internet message board.

                I've known sane people who actually enjoy & thrive on it, so...no it doesn't? πŸ˜›

                Let's give it at least a week before we start shitting all over the change, huh?

                Thanks @Ganymede and @Auspice for stepping up, and @Arkandel for being willing to listen and implement changes, it's nice to feel heard!

                  As someone who has, for work, had to moderate forums (where I couldn't just get up and walk away if things got too annoying)...

                  Staffing on a MU* is worse.

                    Also I can post here without anyoneas many people accusing me of abusing my authoritah.

                    Playing on a MUSH you're staffing on is... problematic.

                      I'll drop a note that Glitch, Theno and I developed the habit of using the phrase Mod Voice as a tag of sorts, to help differentiate between mod and participant commentary. Whether or not you do is entirely up to you, but it was helpful and it bears reminding for that alone. πŸ™‚

                          Theno's Mod Voice is a grumble. πŸ™‚
