Something happened to my uber cool group
 
I made an I hate mods group, but now it's been changed to the I hate Kittens + Anti mod society. WTF ZOMFG! how did that possibly happen? can mods change group names with special powers or something?

Ho-Oh June 25th, 2010 6:09 AM

No, but admins (plus smods I think?) can change the name. They made your group into a joke, rather than offensive to moderators. :3

If you don't like the moderators here you can always go to serebii, they'll just love you.

Quite simply the rules state that no 'anti-___' social groups be established, this rule was 'ported over from the clubs forums here at PC anyways. I'm surprised that the staff members who did that had enough of a sense of humor to simply change the name rather than slapping you with an infraction or deleting the group entirely. :<


I know from personal experience how vexing and frustrating the staff members can be here, but they're by no means as bad as the Serebii staff. They're usually a lot nicer unless you put 'em into a corner or do something that obligates them to take action. (Like ignoring the rules) I highly doubt that they ever infract and mean personal damage to you, or intend to offend you. They are merely doing their job.

Because you made an "Anti" group. (I asssume a "Hate" group would be disallowed too.) And making it against the mods is also a bad idea. Without them, this place would be a hot mess. Some do have a strange sense of humor but they mean no harm by it.

EDIT: Yes, regular mods CAN change thread titles.

Cherrim June 25th, 2010 7:34 AM

:( Well, clearly anyone who is against amazing people like the staff must be against kittens too.

...kidding, kidding. But yeah, the group wasn't allowed anyway so we had fun with it.

parallelzero June 25th, 2010 7:35 AM

I'll take responsibility for editing it, however.

skiffz June 25th, 2010 10:21 AM

I think the mods or admins or whatever changed the name as a joke since they probably didn't like that you started a hate group.

Just gonna post to say, bashing of other websites' staff members is never cool. (:

No, that's the truth.

KITTEN HATER!!!!1!!11oneoneone >:O

Seriously, dude... if you hate the staff here so much, then why don't you just leave. No one wants a whiner like you here, especially if you're going to make a social group about it.

EDIT: lmao at the group

altariaking June 25th, 2010 2:50 PM

I'm not whining -.-
it's a joke group I made because I was bored -.-

Might be, but it's hard to pick up joking/sarcasm over the internet sometimes.

That group seemed pretty serious, at least.. before the h-staff got to it. xD;

Clearly, you've never been to Serebii(or Smogon).

At any rate, I know firsthand mods can be a pain in the *** irritating, but it helps if you, a: don't break the rules(though that should be a given), and/or, b: get to know them. MOST of them are normal people like the rest of us(not mentioning any names), so there's no need for hate. Unless they just go insane and slap you with infractions "4 t3h lulz".

PokemonLeagueChamp June 25th, 2010 3:17 PM

My name there is the same as here. Maybe I just never spotted him.

well he's a mod over there as well but this is becoming offtopic. ok, I now know that mods and such can edit groups. lock thread, kthxbai.

FreakyLocz14 June 25th, 2010 3:32 PM

Laught out loud @ Most of that group's members being mods/admins.

altariaking June 25th, 2010 3:33 PM

I know, they don't have very high self esteem :/

PokemonLeagueChamp June 25th, 2010 3:59 PM

That's probably not it...they're probably humoring you, for whatever reason.

.Gamer June 25th, 2010 4:08 PM

MAD ON THE INTERNET!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cherrim June 25th, 2010 4:21 PM

Yeah, my self-esteem is horrible. I totally cried myself to sleep the night you made that group. And then joined out of self-loathing. I'm glad you gave us a place to vent about that.

(Closing this now.)
