We’ve gotten used to having these LOL posts of yours peppering many threads here, and sharp, humorous comments mysteriously appearing out of nowhere in bold at the end of posts etc etc.
It may just be me so correct me if I’m wrong, but you’ve been kinda quiet of late. Have you chas vshalom joined the retired mods? Where are you? I miss your rocking cracks!
80 is the gematria of letter ‘Pay’. We seem to be a Pay free, Payless site at the moment and *we want this changing!*
EDITORS: WE WANT OUR PAY AND WE WANT HIM RIGHT NOW! DONT WITHHOLD OUR PAY. OCCUPY YWN – HERE WE GO…
“80 is the gematria of letter ‘Pay’. We seem to be a Pay free, Payless site at the moment and *we want this changing!*”
wow…how long did it take you to come up with that gem…
shtiky: I challenge you to open a thread called “Occupy YWN”, and make it funny.
Now think about this first. Firstly, in what manner do you intend to occupy? Also, do you have any general demands? (Occupy movements arent supposed to have specific demands)
yes 80 is the gematria of the letter pei
thats why moderator 80 chose it.
it is the gematria of the first letter of his name.
moderator 80 has resigned
but i am still checking in once in a while
feivel are you mod 80?
I’m sure he’s had afew birthdays since being anointed at 80…
Ad meah ve esrim shana, 80;)
So 80 – Is Feivel.
If Moderator 80 left, you will surely be missed! I appreciaqted your comman sense.
NOOOO!! Say it isn’t so!!!
80, come back. I won’t tell them this whole mess was your fault.
he’s hiding in the cupboard behind you, zees.
watch out he plays joseph too, you know;)
Feivel, At least could you hand me over your keys? C’mon, I’m gonna miss you tons <BAWL> <SOB>. You were the only one to put up with me!
So are they looking for a new Moderator to fill his place?
Hah! Thanks to Kapusta, I knew Feivel was mod. 80. she once mentioned that she suspected it – i then read the old threads, and saw that it MUST be true! (though i think mod. 80 is a little more moderate than feivel. (pun intended)
i thought i would have to give in my detective badge, but maybe i can still keep it. i also suspected that mod. 80 was retiring, but i thought icot was taking his place – so i wasn’t quite right about that. i’ve been trying to spy out the mod school, but it’s a little tricky as the school is not plottable, and they keep changing the invisibility spell on it. (I’m not that good at magic, especially the housekeeping ones – maybe i’m a squib?
binah – What made you think ICOT is taking his place?
Who is going to delete most of my posts now?
Mod 80. I was wondering where you were.
Gone without a farewell?
At least you could come back as feivel.
real brisker – if i knew how to do that really cool “here” stuff i would do it, but i’m too lazy to learn how and too lazy to find the right thread, but on one thread mod. 80 even said that icot would make a good moderator.
the truth is that he would. he’s pretty calm, even-handed, smart, and has read sf books (which i think is the main prerequisite for being a mod).
binah – Thats true, ICOT would definitly make a good mod.
I told you guys he was feivel but I dont think he ever let that post through
Yeah, I REALLY MISS HIM!!!
Now Mods won’t let in half of my stuff. Right?
WELL WE LET IN THIS ONE!! BUT YOU BETTER SHAPE UP, CR IS NOT FOR KIDS ANYMORE
See! I told you. Moderators now are serious (& grouchy) people. They have work, families, sedorim… They no longer have time for my xxxx. HOW I MISS HIM!!
binahyeseira-
real-brisker-
Thank you both for the kind words.
(I’m not sure how you picked up that I was a big sci-fi reader, but that was many years ago – sometime last century, to be precise.)
“Moderator 80” / “feivel” is someone who’s very much appreciated.
Here are a couple of my favorite posts of his:
1) This is an extremely tactful and honest way of addressing an unfortunate chilul H-shem situation caused by community members:
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/community-effort-to-stealing-shoes#post-238212
2) The “signature” on this post was one of a handful that had me literally “lol”ing:
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/a-theory-made-of-water-vapor#post-80384
ICOT – No problem, I also very much appreciated those posts.
Feivel, You are one of my favorite posters. You brought a certain well-reasoned intelligence which combined science and Torah. I was wondering where you went. Hatzlacha on your endeavors.
Mod 80 (retired) – When you were Feivel you had openly admitted you were an eye doc, and when you were 80 -you never told us you were (and I believe I asked). Why? Did you think people would put 2 & 2 together? And if yes, so what?
health – i think we can definitely understand now why info. that can more easily identify us, one would not want repeated. i would think that the anonymousity (don’t think that’s a word, but if squeak and lewis carroll can make up words, so can i) factor would be even more important for a mod.
icot – see, even for one who is so careful not to reveal info., ’tis very hard to not reveal such crucial aspects of oneself.
just goes to show, that maybe i’ll make it in this world as a private detective, after all.
(i think you mentioned in one thread that something reminded you of one of asimov’s books – i think it was pebble in the sky (it was one of the early ones that i haven’t read)
and to all the mods who work hard to make this place a safe place – thank you, cuz part of the fun of this place is being real and sometimes letting it slip that you’ve heard of isaac asimov 😉
and if icot, you would have mentioned that you’ve read harry potter, i would completely be able to identify you. 😉
actually, maybe i can identify you better if you’ve never read harry potter.
Anonymity is the correct word
What makes a good moderator?
(Reflections from a long-time lurker and occasional poster, after discussion with friends. This post is speaking in general and NOT about any particular individual. This thread just seemed like a good place to put it.)
1. A good moderator thoroughly knows the rules published at http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/rules-of-the-ywn-coffee-room-please-read.
2. A good moderator enforces only these rules and does not make up his own.
3. A good moderator recognizes that his role is moderator and not participant and therefore expresses no opinion in a thread.
4. A good moderator does not take sides in an argument between members. A good moderator will not ban a member solely because he does not like him or her.
6. A good moderator will not shut down a thread or refuse to allow a posting for the sole reason that he disagrees with an opinion.
7. A good moderator respects the membership and in return earns respect for himself.
8. A good moderator will not give false information about his education, occupation or level of Torah observance.
9. A good moderator will encourage members to post in clear and grammatically correct English.
10. In keeping with the principles of achdus, a good moderator will not allow baseless and hurtful statements about one member to be posted by another or for similar statements about one part of the community to be posted by members of another.
BPM – Welcome, You know a little too much for your first post.
BPM, It’s a brilliant list. Wonder what the mods think of it…
Well they let it through…
I believe 80 is now posting under a different number.
11. A good moderator slows down speeding neutrons to allow the nuclear reaction to proceed.
12. A good moderator does not absorb neutrons.
Josh31 – I don’t.
moi aussi: thanks; by the way, what does your name mean? (never learned french, if that’s what it is)
shticky: oh, so you’re….?
actually, i’m pretty sure Rav Chaim Kanievsky never read them either.
truthfully, there’s no need to read them – only if you like this kind of stuff. the brilliance of the author was that the first book is written on an 11 year old level, the age of the main characters at the time. then she keeps writing progressively to older level, as harry potter gets older and older.
it’s a combination fantasy/science fiction type of book in which she created a whole magic world, which you actually feel can be true.
a good moderator…. are the ones we have: i think all the moderators here are excellent. it’s a very difficult job balancing between allowing people to have their say and yet protecting other people at the same time, and keeping the atmosphere heimish and friendly.
they’re smart, knowledgeable, and are doing a tremendous chesed!
also, i read some old cr stuff – i really liked what feivel had to say and his stuff on the wonders of animals, etc.
Speaking of great mods disappearing, What happened to 88? He is no longer a mod either.
never knew about 88 but I really miss 80. Oh well. All good things have to come to an end sometime
I’ve only ever seen mod 29 and mod 100
but 29 is more active
80 is no longer a mod. Despite his anavah in saying he was “demodded” (http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/why-is-the-left-pro-islam#post-568689), he actually gave it up in his own, I believe to spend more time learning.
how does he have so much time
with therapy, posting (probably married) how does he do it?
I hold that Feivel is one of the Lamed Vov Tzadikim.
