Forever.

BlazeTheVampire:

When a thread gets locked, is it lost forever? Or can it be opened again with the right amount of bribery?

Depends on the reason it was locked for. Some topics that are just stale might be unlocked if you have something reinvigorate the thread with. Feel free to PM Jordan or myself if you think something has been closed mistakenly.

And yes, Melaisis, I've definitely read your email and brought it up with the group. It's a pretty hectic time here at Escapistville with Joe's departure and the arrival of some new folks, but rest assured: We'll be in touch.

Cheers Icey. Can I call you Icey now without you feeling like a washed-up 80s rapper? I hope so!

When are we going to have an Escapist Party? Ya'll need to just pick a bar and a date.

I know I speak for at least a few of us when I say we love good beer and bars. Every day is Escapist party day in, as Jordan put it, Escapistville. :D

For some reason I get this image of Jurassic Park when I read that. I'd say just have the party in Raleigh, which is an easy trip for me, but a ton of these guys are across the pond or farther.

If you serve Yuengling, they will come?

I was actually hopeful my first question would be answered, not the second. Heh.

Okay, new question:

How does being a moderator feel? Fun? Like work? Patience straining? Glorifying? Exciting with ban power? Orgasmic?

You can make something else up if it's the last one though. No stress.

Like working for no pay. Often frustrating, but rewarding when you see a forum mature into something better.

Good answer. Somewhat expected, but good none of the less.

Okay, probably the last one I can think off and maybe the only one not to be answered:

if you didn't play this game or follow it upon its release you should probably stick your dick in a blender and hit the puree button.

Moderators can't read everything. Very few people actually use the "report" button, and unless you do, things like that can go unnoticed.

(writing mental note)...Hit the Report button, got it.

So you asked to get to know your community, let's have an open discussion, everyone.
Dear everyone, how are you?

if someone is permanently banned, can they just create a new account? I'm guessing no
what are grounds for permanent ban

I'm not a mod, but I can answer this one. If you look at the top of the page, you'll see a thread with the words 'posting guidelines' in the title. That thread contains guidelines for posting.

In addition, the topic in the sticky at the top of the gaming forum seems to be the most recently updated one.

Why are the comments of the Yahtzee and De Rez videos not blocked when the posters stop commenting on the video and start arguing about a game?

To paraphrase Joe "I treat the Yahtzee comments like Thunderdome and only moderate the really asinine crap."

Are you guys going to lock the threads about PS3 v. Xbox, Wii v. Xbox? It seems like they're getting a fair amount of airtime now.

Or are we just going to let them finally settle it, once and for all?

PS3 v. God. Trick question, PS3 is God.

If they present points not already said 100 times, sure, we'll leave them open.

Do you find moderation takes up a considerable chunk of your time?
I mean...I'd assume you all have jobs/college/school etc. or some place you go during the day at least. But, is keeping order on the forums something you'd allocate maybe a half hour or so (just guessing, probably way less?) or would you just skim over a few topics to make sure all is well?

I give you a very soviet salute on this one, why just last night my Indian empire unleashed nuclear war upon the unsuspecting Native Americans and then ground the remainder of their nation into the dust, total genocide, Hitler was an underachiever! (but I'm not sure the real Ghandi would approve)
