Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?



One of us! One of us! One of us!

I think we need better mods. Mods who will not abuse their power. Why not? Mods who will not abuse their power would be better. Lets face it, the problem with our mods is that they will abuse their power, therefore we need mods who will not abuse their power and thus the forum will be less chaotic.

Do not call me "Thorii". It is both insulting and undignified!

When I tell you to not call me an insulting nickname you are to no longer call me that.

Guys, can we please quit flame-baiting Thorion? I don't know if you realize it, but he's honestly really upset here. =\

um yeah, Jenna's right here. :I
honestly, I don't understand why some Temple members find it 100% okay to troll the hell out of people, regardless of whether the temple in general likes said people or not. while some people need to chill and take things less seriously (me included), maybe there wouldn't be a problem if some people here didn't troll so pointlessly to begin with.

maybe I'm wrong and no one is doing this. but it doesn't sit well with me to have some kradenettes... seemingly trying to drive certain people off the temple. I'm really annoyed with seeing a certain few members being unfairly targeted, trolled, harassed, just because they don't act as internet-savvy as everyone else, among other things. I probably should start reporting this sort of thing orz.

my apologies if this comes off weird or sounds funny etc, because what's in my head just isn't really translating into english very well. it never does. :/

it's kinda hard to take him seriously when his first post sounds like something from a medieval hero or something :p

See I get what you're saying and I agree with the sentiment. Trying to drive somebody off because you don't like them is dumb.

On the other hand, Thorion, you have a history of not handling your problems with other members in a way that is even remotely mature. If you have a problem with a staff member, you take it up with them via PMs, not by making a passive-aggressive topic about how we need new staff, especially when your argument is a sweeping generalization repeated over and over with no actual evidence.

Edit: I probably could have worded that better, Callie. I didn't mean to sound like I'm disagreeing with you, because I'm not. All I'm saying is that Thorion is not entirely free of responsibility either.

Thank you Jennondorf and Calli, I'm going to officially ask everyone else to stop trolling this topic or face my deadly wrath.

The problem with this topic is its setup. It demands for change, but it does not cite any instances of the challenges i.e. mod abuses, that seem to be demanding for it. Nor does it suggest any actual solution on how to go about doing it, no candidates or nominees or anything. It's been posted in public space like this without those substance, so expect it to be looked at as a simple y/n topic, and it's difficult to go beyond that. So if you are making a serious suggestion and want to be taken seriously, make sure you provide the context of why it's relevant for people to relate.

Furthermore, this is a topic generally better taken up to an admin. So if you feel it's necessary to take it to the public members of the forum, you should make a better effort discussing why you think this is a better way of conveying it. The way your direction of demands seem to go doesn't seem to address these issues, and this lack of substance makes it hard for people to take you seriously.

This will serve as a reminder to your further topics as well, Thorion dear. For now, if you want a serious discussion on this, please provide what I've outline here that you are lacking.

Yeah, Squee's right. If people don't like Thorion, they should ignore his posts completely, and likewise, Thorion should just ignore those comments he finds distaste, I bet you anything they would stop. When you respond to them -- given how difficult it is to read tone sometimes -- it can be viewed as encouragement. But in cases of social interaction where there is no clear right and wrong, when there's no active flaming or blatant trolling, that is something best negotiated by the individuals involved, without calling on the staff.

Thorion, personally I always like a little chaos on the Temple; if we forget our roots as a silly for-fun message board and start running with the professionalism of a business institution, I don't think that would be a very nice place to be around... don't you think? The fact that our staff are silly and can hopefully engage on an equal level with members/instead of being aloof and remote is one of the things I really like about Temple.

But yeah, Bane, I think Thorion's made it clear he doesn't appreciate your jibing. You'll have to move on to better and brighter territory.

Like me! <3

Satty, you are just too power hungry for your own good :awe:

But I agree with what he said, and say if both parties were to just ignore certain comments then it'd be a much happier place. Then we could all party together with mustaches.

I don't know if you guys think I don't like Thorion, or what. Thorion is my favorite user, hands down.
