... Then, does the job not fall upon us, elders and newcomers alike, to change that? The welcome I got when I first joined the old BL was warm, and everyone was friendly. When I came back here, it was still like that, but... I suppose some things have changed. Perhaps I have not payed it much attention, but, do you not think that, if BL is no longer the friendly, welcoming community it once was, then we should make it such? We being all of us here, who wish to have a pleasant time discussing various TM, Anime and random things.
Yup, pretty much. It's not something that the staff can really force completely, it's something we have to be willing to do as a community. If the community is unwilling to change, to an extent it doesn't matter what rules are enforced in the end, little will changed. Considering all that just went down though, again, maybe with time stuff will start to change again, this time for the better.

Lol, nah, not at all. :3 It's more that I feel like it's gone too far in some ways. I don't mind some of it being there so long as people are halfway responsible about it. Because some of that was present in the BL I remember too. It just needs dialed back some is all.
And as for bans and stuff... I'm fine with them so long as I feel like they were deserved. Mike's ban didn't sit right with me, for instance, while I feel that even after all this, Bitter's needed to be done. For me, there has to be a damn good reason if nothing else. So yup.

I think no-one. But that's from hints rather than anything else, so don't be sure of that.
(Please, mods, do become more visibly active now to compensate. There's a reason several people were calling Leo the only mod who did stuff, even if that's not the reality of it).

Well its not that the other mods aren't active, its just they stick to fanfic. The only moderation GD had is Tobias, Leopardbear and sometimes Altima.
Of course I didn't get along with Leo, so him losing his mod spot doesn't change much for me.

Hmm...that's a good question. I'm sure there are some people who randomly message me about things but I'm not quite sure who. Anyways, as long as I get along with people just enough not to get banned I don't really care.
Anyway, I know you love me Spinach, what with your consta stalking and all.
Theo is the bear we need, but not the bear we deserve.
i will bear with you Theo
Theo for BL admin 2013

I stalk everyone. It's not a thing driven by love, I just like to watch other people because I am a creep.
But you never banned Bitter when she came onto irc even though you ruthlessly banned CV and his obvious puppets???
Can you imagine the whining and moaning if I had banned Bitter without concrete proof?

The lack of concrete proof is what kept us from banning Bitter.
But if anyone here thinks the staff didn't have its suspicions, you'd be dead wrong.

[14:06] [Cruor] petri is it possible to play Phoenix III/Steppewolf without it crashing
[14:08] [Kelnish] no
[14:08] [Kelnish] it isn't
[14:09] [Cruor] how can there be so many bugs
[14:09] [Cruor] in one mod
[14:10] [Dark_Pulse] Because quality assurance doesn't exist anymore
[14:10] [Dark_Pulse] Unless it's Quality Ass, U Rance
[14:10] [Daiki] ...
[14:10] [I3uster] oh god dp was funny
[14:10] [I3uster] apocalypse confirmed
[14:10] [Wakame] the horror
I knew there was a reason they called me the voice of the people.
I will also accept Supreme Magistrate of Beast's Lair as a title.
This sounds like a purposefully grandiose and vague office meant to shift attention away from the fact that it comes with no new duties and frees you from all your old ones.
Or it could be the start of plans for a military coup. I like this one better.
Oh man, I missed the /tg/ discussion, does this mean I need to do a serious post?
Alright then. I'm sort of surprised at Leo pulling this kind of stunt, but I guess everybody does stupid things once in a while. All things considered, he got off lightly, so I don't understand the comments about moderation being heavy handed. Of course he can't be a mod again, nobody could after doing this.
On this topic, I rarely step outside of Fanfics so I wouldn't know, but since it seems to be a common enough complaint I'd like to encourage mods to be more active.
Oh yeah and some stuff about V_G but seriously who cares about that guy.
