NUCLEAR WALL OF TEXT DETECTED

less threads? this is his first. I'm pretty sure it's not spam when he's just responding to peoples post. secondly i know how to be an admin. if i didnt i would not be one right now. I respect you kitten but please dont tell me how to do my job.
Actually, I'm going to keep telling you how to do your job because I'm better at it than you are. Something about having years worth of posts among many many threads in the admin section that Gman referenced to write the Admin Standards and Measurements thread kind of makes me your God and Job is not going to speak to God in such a manner.
Repeat after me: I am Job. I serve M'Lord.
So let me break down yet another admin issue since it's one of my strongpoints.
Resin is a recruit. He has made lame thread after lame thread after lame thread after lame thread after lame thread. In every lame thread he gets told to cut this shit out by everyone from Fresh Off The Vote n00bs to the HNIC. He then says he's sorry but proceeds to continue making lame threads at a lower frequency. While the time lapse between threads warrants and "attaboy", it's evident that the message isn't getting through and that puts a successful rct vote on the line.
Members of n00b are members of n00bfest.com's community. They've been around and most of them have at least a general idea of how things work around here because they were the kind of material that gets kept around at n00bfest. It is their duty to give him the advice he needs to become a member even if it is in an abrasive manner. Sometimes you have to shove a dog's nose in it's own shit to get the point across.
You are a member of n00b who has been
blessed with the
privilege of
representing n00bfest as a server administrator. Gman has seen it fit to make you one of the people who is n00bfest's face to the world. Your job is to resolve issues in the community before they escalate in to a problem that has to sit firmly on Gman's desk and piss him off. As a n00b member, it is your duty to advise the newer n00bs as well as recruits (protip: that thing I'm doing right now). The best way to do this is to personally take them under your wing and show them the ropes in private.
You've already made it abundantly clear that you have an interest in this guy and his tenure at n00bfest, so now is the time to put up or shut up. You either need to take responsibility and see your interest in him through to the end or you need to take responsibility and sulk away to lick the self-inflicted wound to your self-worth.
Neither option, however, includes telling the guy who spent a good chunk of his life lovingly crafting your e-profession, "dont tell me how to do my job." That's the kind of attitude that's going to get you demoted back to a standard n00b member before you know it.
Repeat after me: I am Job. I serve M'Lord.
As for you,
Resin, you may have discovered that doing "cutesy" bullshit like repeating something you're told back to the person who said it to you with a smile and a telephone voice works really really well on women like your mother (because women are F*CKING stupid and love to be abused), it doesn't fly around here. n00bfest is one of the last bastions in this world for men with double fruit and vine combos dangling between their legs. Even the women who play here have a massive, veiny, throbbing, purpled-tipped member with a giant dangling pair of patriarchal-oppression plums covered in glistening, rugged, hairier-than-Strange rawhide. When you are told to sit down and shut up, you sit down and shut up until you have earned the respect necessary to do anything - including, but not limited to: posting good threads, talking shit, licking Turkey's Golden Butthole clean (protip: you will want to do this. I've made thousands selling the gold flecks left on my tongue).
Now, I don't hate you. In fact, no one around here who actually matters hates you, so don't get us wrong like you appear to be doing. We simply want you to become a thriving member of this community and we're trying to get you to pick up on what you need to do to fit in the way you so desperately wish to fit in.
Everything here at n00bfest has something to tell you about the community: the server settings, the webpage appearance, the comraderie in posts, the way posts are written, the post counts, the member since dates, etc. What you need to do it sit back and play CSS with us and lurk on the forums as you learn how things work around here. Posting in threads is fine as long as it directly contributes to the topic at hand in some way shape or form. Making threads is fine too, but you
must first learn how we make threads around here - it's not just about streaming together 4chan memes and dropping the needle on your stream of consciousness regarding some event that only a couple will be able to understand.
So calm down, soldier. Enjoy yourself, but do as you're told. That's all you have to do - we can't make this any more simple. You will be considered a member of this community in time if you follow those basic principles.
And to ice this wordcake, I want to say this to both of you as well as anyone else reading for future reference. I am Angry Kitten. I have been around this place a long time. I have been the way I come off even longer. It's just how I am. If you've got a problem with me - something I've done, something I've said - don't hesitate to take it up with me in a PM or even add me on Steam Friends to talk to me about it. I'm actually a very rational, logical, laidback, and easy-to-get-along-with guy regardless of how I come off when I'm
doing my job. Gman and the Elders are all very busy guys and they don't need unnecessary bitchtears on their plate especially if you and I can talk it out with a modicum of respect and two level heads. ♥
