Anyway, I fully agree with you. She doesn't appear to me to be all that incredibly knowledgeable, and she takes sides (which no moderator I've ever heard of does). Worse yet, her method of solving a problem is to say, "Don't bother arguing or discussing it--just drop it." Whoah! What is the point of a discussion board then, if you aren't supposed to discuss? If we simply dropped every subject in which people disagreed, then no one would ever say shit. It also bothers me that this woman has veto/editorial power over what people say. Suppose she is on the rag one week and decides to disallow a perfectly good posting, just because she doesn't feel like agreeing that morning?

Correct me if I am wrong, but a moderator IS supposed to be a positive influence, right?

This is a good thought. I would like to know everyone's feelings on the topic.

Peace and love,
Little ?hroom

moderators are just human beings like the rest of us. Its nice if they have a positive influence, but the positive vibe in the shroomery doesnt depend on its moderators alone, i should hope.
Anyway, PK has been nothing but friendly and helpfull towards me. (however.. she did hit me upside the head and steal my cookies once.. but i've forgiven her for that ) And i'm sure she doesnt remove/edit posts simply because she doesnt agree with them. She seems ok as a moderator in my book, but i really cant say because i never come in the cultivation forum; im more of an OTD-dweller.

-peace and good vibes-

Just because Psilokitty doesn't worship rychehawk like others do,because she dislikes him and posts about it doesn't mean she shouldn't be moderator. We must all respect each others opinions, don't knock someone just because he or she doesnt think like you. Kitty has never censored Ryche's posts even when he slanders others. If she's not abusing her moderating powers then there aint nothing wrong.

We've lost the love...

Don't tell us to respect Psilo's opinion if you're not gonna respect ours. Let people speak their mind.

"What happened to the love?"

Peace,
Little ?hroom

As for PK, she is not a good moderator. She doesn't help people unless they email her. If I had to email all the people I wanted to get advice from and then pass on that information to others, do you realize how long that would take? That's why we have a message board. So people including the moderator can post and help the entire community. Closing threads only when she begins to get bashed and not when Ryche is, or anyone else for that matter, isn't a very admirable quality. I don't happen to believe that every time she closes these bullshit posts after 10 or 12 comments posted by these new fake assholes that, "Oh sorry, I haven't been online in a while." Bullshit! I don't care if the bitch has a life, but don't fuck up the Shroomery, it is the best Shroom site on the net, doing it. If PK can't do it, then let ShroomGod do it. Everybody knows he could do a helluva lot better job anyway.

Sorry for all the swearing, but I'm tired of all this bullshit, "I'll let you bitch about Ryche but not anyone else." Nobody even wants to bitch about anyone else, every once in a while maybe PK, you know what I'm talking about. It's just these constant Ryche attacks. Shut the fuck up and go trip or get high or something. Dicks. Go ShroomGod! Everyone else is cool too. Yeah! Hurrah for all the non assholes!

Any thoughts Psilo?

I think she needs to answer a few of these allegations, right or wrong as they may be...

I have in fact seen her help numerous people
numerous times.. Just not recently..

And YEs, she seems to take sides
But hell, every one has an opinion.. Maybe the problem could be solved more easily.

One way to solve this is that PK separates her moderator persona from her private persona.. No.. this is not schizofrenia.. (sp) it's just that I agree on the fact that moderators should only keep in mind one thing, the viability and longevity of the board. Viability in such a sence that it's not a flame war playground and longevity in a sence that a board that is moderated fanatically, (ie. not letting opposing arguments be heard) will die sooner or later..

So it's just my 2 cents, but somewhere along the line I'we kinda learned to like the way PK does things.. And I just don't (at this point) see an obvious problem..

but if PK is tired of being the moderator and there is an obvious good choise for a successor, then let's hear it PK..

Otherwise, i see no point of fixing what aint broken..

I guess I didn't state my opinion because I don't exactly have one. I have never really had 1 to 1 conversation with Psilo, so I never really got to know her.

I am neutral on the whole subject, and that previous post to Nicodemus wasn't meant to be offensive to Psilo.

So Psilo, I am sorry if you thought otherwise.

So I guess that is my answer. I don't hate or have a problem with Psilo. And until I have reason to dislike her, my feelings won't change.

Satisfied?

I've known psilokitty longer than i think most most people here and though she can be a little bit moody (what girl isn't?) she is an intellegent, helpful person with a good heart. I hope that she continues to be the cultivation moderator for as long as she likes.

Furthermore, LIttle_Shroom has no opinion on this subject and yet she insists on egging the conversation on with her typically frivilous replies which contain no actual matter whatsoever. Little_Girl, you obviously need to learn when to keep your fucking annoying mouth shut.

Absolultely nothing good can come of this thread....why are we giving users a thread to bash one of our moderators? It is my opinion that this thread be closed.

Wow. No response from Little_Shroom. What a suprize. Big_Annoyance wants psilokitty to respond to a thread about her, but whenever i say something about her, she doesn't post to the thread.

to you PK..

I'm am sorry about your father. I wish there was something I could say that would make things easier, but in my experience, there just isn't anything I can say besides I feel for you and hope your days get brighter (they always do eventually).

I was here before kitty. I've been here with the kitty. Man, when she first started, it was almost annoying how much she wanted to help people. I'd see a question that I could answer, and scan down to see the she had already answered it every single time for months! Outside of the cult forum, she has had many contributions that I was not aware were hers. I THANK you PK for that, and think EVERYONE else should too! So she slowed on the answers a little, she's just being nice and giving me a chance to answer them.

I think Psilokitten was and is an excellent choice for moderator of the cult forum, and I personally voted for her to gain that office. If any of you wet behind the ear motherfuckers have beef, well that's just what you get when you join the game late. I don't think we need anybody in here that missed the first vote, screwing things up.

Man I wish this was the real world. If you whining bitches could see me standing behind kitty, you would tuck your heads down near your ass and run. (Except for MOE cuz he's a badass, but he'd be behind me behind kitty, and you know ya'll wouldn't fuck with that!)

Kitty rules!
