azurelunatic proves that my management style is half "Den Mother"

An excerpt from The Book of Wholesome Hobbies That Denise Has Forbidden Her Volunteers From Taking Part In:

• Deleting every single comment that an ex-friend has left in your journal and marking it as spam. (It's the marking it as spam part that's forbidden. Delete to your heart's content.)
  
• Feeding the trolls.
  
• Hanging out with that guy who points AK-47s at you.
  
• Making a large number of completely outlandish suggestions in dw_suggestions for the sole purpose of making the person handling the moderation queue crack up.

(Context is QWP, and also includes a Roomba.)

...half?

*ducks and runs*

Heh. All I've forbidden volunteers to do is catalog WWII-era explosives. You're totally more of a hardass than I am. ;>

(Also, I want a tickybox on posts that signifies not like but "I have read this and am in some sympathy, but lack the mental wherewithal right now to compose an actual response in comment form to your post." This comm is totally where I should make that suggestion, right?)

[azurelunatic]

It has come up in dw_suggestions recently!

[sara]

I wonder what we'd call that. "Urgh that yes," or "Hum," or "*flaps hands vaguely in your general direction*"

[azurelunatic]

The person in comments who described it in great detail called it "ticky".

[silverflight8]

It is a very useful term :P

[sara]

Yep, that'd work. Y'all should do that.

[niqaeli]

That seems a rather culturally appropriate name for the concept, tbh. Given the whole poll ticky thing.

[rhi]

Add WWI explosives to that. They do still show up.

[sara]

Not in my building, I hope!

[rhi]

Me, too!!

So, flipping knives is out, but flipping weight plates is totes okay, right?

*is just checking*

[denise]

As long as you do not drop them on your feet, yes. :)

Making a large number of completely outlandish suggestions in [site community profile] dw_suggestions for the sole purpose of making the person handling

I would never do that. That would be Wrong.

Putting one in there in a long chunk of serious ones, I think I might have done once or twice.
