Interesting day today
-
What are you all talking about?
-
@RobQ i agree the poster was just making a joke (however poor that joke was, lol) and had no intention of creating flamewar that broke out due to other posters. The thing is the OP wasn't the one that was wining about it, he got dragged into it because someone else took offense.
-
@david.wiese Sorry I was overly vague. I Don't blame Jaguar (Poster of meme) or even Chad (Complainer). Chad is who I was referring to. I disagree with the way he handled it, but the CM's just validated that behavior. There are always going to be people with twisted panties. If the CM's get in the panty untwisting business, it's going to be tough going for them. Vagueness, and complacency by the CM team is a big part of what led Chad to even post the complaint. When you report a post, it just says, "We'll get back soon". I can understand that Chad may have thought he was being ignored because he reported a Mod.

Yeah that post just went crazy.
Once questionable mods happen and the moderators don't have good justification for their actions things tend to spiral out of control.

@RobQ
that makes more sense. -
@Carnival-Boy
a thread on a different site, that went sideways and very quick might i add. -
I think it's the mod structure. Too many cooks with no unified oversight. And top down management is failing when the bottom rungs can't manage themselves. They've lost their skill base as well as their historical perspective.
-
@scottalanmiller what do you mean when you say they have lost their skill base?
-
Probably means that a certain someone has left the building.

Try to be vague, but get "Huh?" instead.
Let's put it this way, it was all about butthurt.
I'm having a day fulla butt-hurt today, also - maybe it's part of the lunar cycle or something.
A beer is warranted once my day is over.

@PSX_Defector 5mill objects? What the hell was that? It sounds like fun in itself.
A certain movie website's back end image server. 5mil might be a bit of an understatement. Customer has two hosts, both of them got borked on it's settings at the same folder level. My colleague who was working on it yesterday at this time did it via the GUI and was still at work until 6:00PM. I been doing it piecemeal via the command line, which seems to be moving very fast. I've got permissions on folders laid out, just applying it to the individual objects.
I'm just watching the number fly by.
I see, that sounds like a boat load of fun. Using any PowerShell or is this *nix kind of stuff?

Wish it was Unix. chmod -r 777 and we are good to go. Nope, good old Windows 2003 and the command takeown.

Crap, I didn't know AOL still did telemarketing calls!

@scottalanmiller Fill in the blanks with whatever you come up with...it could get very interesting.
