2. It is already bumpy - the MJ threads and all the
weirdness of the day - who knows how the day will close out.

3. haha, you could not pay me enough money to mod this place -
I don't feel one way or another about Micheal Jackson. Can't believe his death has taken over D.U., including the lounge.

remember during the primaries when they had that 3 post limit? yeah.

4. I always thought the 3 thread limit was their best idea ever!
it cuts out spamming and folks have to consider what they post before they post it as to not waste one of the 3 for the day.

In any case, To the Mods - :toast:

5. Yep. And nothing like a celebrity death to make my ignore list grow.
I've just lost patience with uncaring people.

10. You're probably right.
But there's that immediate need for retribution that Ignore satisfies and Xing doesn't, really.

I do check to see if it's someone I would otherwise not want to ignore.

11. ignore has it's immediate satisfaction
but with the multitude of threads being posted today, hide a thread lets me find the threads of interest while maintaining a manageable blood pressure.

My cross post.

To moderate. Regardless of what type of night this may be? :shrug: I'm sure there have been worse nights than this.

7. Yes, they volunteered to moderate
just seems some folks like to make it more challenging than it needs to be.

It never hurts to thank them - they are much more patient than I am and I am not ashamed to admit to that fact.

16. To the Mods/Admin on one of those tsunami days!1
Edited on Thu Jun-25-09 08:18 PM by UTUSN
What's funny/odd is that the nature of LBN is so clearly defined --new-news within 24 hrs, consolidation of dupes, locking of non-breaking things------that there are basically ONE Jacko thread and several superceded LOCKED Jacko threads-------while GD is FLOODED with all the Jacko threads, the ANTI-Jacko-thread threads, the copycatters, it's like GD is having a breakdown and letting its hair down and wants to be the LOUNGE!1

But the GD-P forum, I wish it could be converted into a SPECIAL EVENTS forum: Primaries during Primaries season, but then Tsunami forum when something like this happens. Jacko is not really that unusual, since GD went JUST as wild when that whassername, Anna Nicole person died.



On Edit: Actually, scrolling down Lounge, there are FEWER Jacko threads here than in GD!1
