I'm going to start off with something good.

A couple nights ago I had a strange dream. I was in what appeared to be a motor home with a bunch of people, some of whom were ST Reboot cast members. We were rehearsing what had to have been a scene from the sequel. We arrived at some building where we were helping with the writing/characterizations for the sequel. It was a school, I think. We had lockers in the hall and there were school desks in the room we were in. Everyone was sharing desks because there were only a few. In fact, I was sharing with Zachary Quinto and I-can't-remember-who. We were all talking about scenes or characters while one of the writers, or maybe it was J.J., stood there just taking it all in. I was squeezed onto the end of our desk until I realized the desk in front of us was free, so I moved there and turned around to continue my conversation with ZQ & Whomever. The really strange thing was I couldn't figure out who I was supposed to be. During our rehearsal in the motor home I specifically remember being called "Number One". But then, when we were in the room, I got the distinct feeling that I was supposed to be Spock. Which was part of the reason I was working with ZQ. But I was still female. The best I can figure is I was part of a weird mirror/alternate universe where Spock was a woman and Kirk called her "Number One", like the original first officer in "The Cage". I'm still puzzled. But I will FREAK OUT if the any of the Reboot sequels has a mirror/AU at all like that.

And OMG, the wank. Seriously. Why do some people have to take a perfectly nice community and ruin it with their wank? A mod should NOT act like that. You're a Moderator, not a Dictator. You're there to moderate. No one was harming anyone. A quiet, kind word would have gotten a better effect that your rude demands.

On a related note, I am now the maintainer/co-mod of a new community: conan_unrated. You know, I actually like being a mod. maybe it's because the two places I mod are fun. And Conan related. :)

I'm confused. After you talked about your dream, you went on to say OMG the wank. And talk about a moderator being a dictator. Where?

Also, when you went to post what community you are a maintainer/co-mod of, it says Unknown LJ tag.

Sorry. Made it a little more clear, I hope. The wank is from the conan_obrien community. The mod decided she didn't like some stuff that has been happening for about a month and suddenly decided to get all nasty about it.

Fixed. Thanks for pointing it out.

What's the new comm? I can't see the name.
And are you talking about what's going on in the Conan comm?

conan_unrated Spread the word! :)
Yeah. Wasn't specific, but I had to rant about it a little.

[orygun-forest.livejournal.com]

Wow, a lot of my LJ friends have been having problems with mods at different communities lately. Must be something in the planets or God knows what!

Good luck with moding your new community. :)

I'm so glad you posted about this because i was incredibly confused about the goings-on in the community you're talking about -- anyway, I joined the new one :)

[domino43.livejournal.com]

yeah, a lot of people missed it. It just happened so suddenly and then the comments were erased and disabled so quickly a bunch of people don't know what happened.

Yay! Hope you have fun over there.

That's exactly what I thought. I mean, a nice little, "Hey, could you guys label the NSFW stuff as such?" or even a "Hey, could we chill it down a bit? It's getting a bit inappropriate at times and we do have underage members..." would have been fine. But we got no warning whatsoever. After about a month of that stuff going on with no objections or words from a mod, it's all of a sudden nastiness and rudeness. It was handled very badly.
