Lily

Just browsing your youtube account.

Would you happen to have msn?

Howdy. I've been doing a little research on you and I have noticed that you are very talented. How long you been playing the piano for?

No hard feelings. Misunderstandings all around.

Glad you're civil about it.

The point I'm trying to make from all this is that you're not above being made an example of when you break the rules, and you did. Posting a reply to a thread that is clearly in the wrong is against a rule openly stated in the NU/W Guidelines. The OP broke a rule too, and I just did my job by telling you both what you did wrong.

I'm sorry you take personal offense to getting a verbal warning, but as you said, you're no different, veteran or not. I've been called out many times in my history here. I still get called out, because honestly, no, I don't know every rule here. You just learn to move on. It's not like I infracted you or anything.

If you still want to continue, we can take your discussion of courtesy and move this to a private message. Since, honestly, you're calling my authority into question on my very public wall. Thanks.

If I were that new member, and I ended up staying, I'd be embarrassed by that mistake for a while, and even more so by having an established member telling me I was in the wrong. As someone who would want to be friendly and helpful, I would have just send a private message. That's the difference I'm getting at. I'm telling them what they did wrong as a representative of the staff, I'm not telling them they made a mistake personally. You are.

The reason I didn't delete your post is because, once again, I'm making an example. You're not the first person I've ever called out in a thread, and you're not going to be the last. Maybe I'm too harsh on veteran members due to being more lax on the rules with newer members. What you said wasn't really preachy, but I didn't want other older members thinking they could do the same. Honestly, if a thread is breaking a rule... just report it and move on. That's always just been PC etiquette. Not to mention I do spell it out in the NU/W Guidelines. All members posting in NU/W should be following that, just like the board-specific rules anywhere else.

But if you truly just wanted to be helpful, you would have sent it in private. I had to make an example, because that's what I'm supposed to do. You should know that, being an ex-staff member yourself. Trust me, I've been active in NU/W for over three years now - I've only been a moderator for over a year there. Before I was a moderator, I helped people out in situations like these by just sending them a friendly PM. If they cared, they'd edit it. If not, the mod would deal with it.

The simple truth is, there's no reason to post in their mistake telling them what they did wrong. It's not your job to point that out. I understand mini-modding has a negative connotation. I'll take that out if you're offended by it, but honestly, that's how I saw it.

Then the courteous thing to do would have been to VM or PM them, honestly.

Doing it in a public thread is considered mini-modding dear.

Right! XD lollll~

No, I'm even worse. v_v;

So you like Glee too? :D

:D I'm doing great. ^u^

n__n lol. You're quite welcome. :>

How are you? ;D

Hey there, I was thinking of donating for you, with my egg contest winnings but before I do anything, do you actually want to be donated for?

So I've seen with your BRB emblem. I hope you get active in the IRC too, its a chaos of fun in there most of the time. xD

I've seen you posting around a bit, and I think you're very interesting. ;3
