I think sometime in the near future, perhaps mid-April, we should have some fun.
I was thinking of a competition to see who can give the most infractions in a single day without being *****ed at in SYM. Any thread in SYM about how "unfair" you are, or how you're a "nazi mod" would automatically disqualify you.
I wager I would be able to fire off at least 7-10 infractions without a real *****ing shot back at me.
Who would be interested in participating?
This looks like it's clearly been in the best interest of "the site". If by "the site", you mean "posters on the site", then you're pretty damn far off.

well, if we got you enough fractions to get banned, i'm sure the site would be better off.
one less idiot posting ruckus, anyway.

"Infraction Day" was for the purpose of relieving stress for the staff. Having people constantly yelling and complaining at you through PMs because you gave them punishment they deserved, is really frustrating. I was trying to lighten the mood for everyone. Happier mods = better moderating.
Just wanted to say.
Worst.
Aprils Fools day.
Prank
EVER.

Lotus at one point and time i considered you to be an intelligent and respectable mod. This post just shows you dont have a clue though. How dare you use LOGIC against people on the internet, jeeze way to be a noob to arguing online. The way you respond to people(or whatever you call them) is to post like AZN.

Whether this be an elaborate April Fool's Day prank (though logically speaking, this is quite a hassle in itself and I don't see why such great lengths would be met just for a few ha-has) or an actual uncovering of how moderators really act about the community, you're wrong, Poolshark. This is explained below.
And Lotus, pardon me if I'm wrong on this, but "'Infraction Day' was for the purpose of relieving stress for the staff" is horrifically absurd. If the staff is stressed out due to personal issues, don't take it out on the community to get some jollies just so those yummy rays of sunshine actually warm you up. Keep that personal. We didn't kill your dog, don't take it out on us.
Additionally, if the staff is stressed out about the people on the site and furthermore need to be abrasive, foul-mouthed brats so they feel better about themselves, then the staff roster apparently needs to be re-evaluated. It's the internet. Don't get your panties all wedged up there over intrawebz drama. People are stupid, it happens, it's not going to change. The day I can cure stupid is the day that reality unravels. Part of being a moderator/administrator on a site is at least some technical knowledge mingling with the maturity and responsibility, and furthermore a level of self-control that should, at least, be commanded by a freshman in high school.
Power corrupts, such is an inevitability of the human race, and a downfall of this so-called free will. But when someone granted a position of power (albeit intangible as this power granted on a forum is) abuses such a position, and effectively, such a degree of afforementioned intangible internet power, you need to do something about that in a big way. Members that piss you guys off are only as big of a problem as they cause to the site. Moderators that are, in fact, incompetent, cause a much bigger problem to the site. The site is for the members, and the community. You guys pretty much are civil servants in that regard, with the task of keeping this place operational and somewhere under the mind-numbing rung on the ladder.
The good of the site? Quite honestly, I think some of the moderators are just fine, if not a bit pissy. Some of the community can get bent, but I think that about almost anywhere. But as to the good of the site. Well, the community residing within said site appears to have something to say in the contrary to that statement.
That might be a genuinely good place to give attention to, and start fixing.
Best April 1st ever.
Never thought I'd say that phrase.
Thanks mtgsalvation.
If it's all just a ruse, then I totally agree. I haven't laughed this much at the internet in days now. If it's actually not an April Fool's joke? I'll keep laughing, anyway. I just can't help myself, sometimes.

LOL that actually made me go check :P. While modding on MDV isnt stressful for me(some other mods are stressed by it), I can assure you modding here would be considering the volume of users. So forgive me if what is effectively the gutter for mods only is being attacked by noobs... its still pretty funny though.

Really? What did I do wrong? Call most of the mods out for being homophobic jerks? In that case, I'm completely guilty.
Whatever. If the last thing I do on this site is tell the mods off for being pretentious dicks, I'll be glad to leave.
