I need help with a posting issue. I began asking it off the moderators on the “mods? mods?” thread where you can ask things of the mods. But I got nowhere. So I went one higher and tried asking the editors via the ‘Contact Us’ button. No response. So I’ll go one even higher yet again. I will ask the posters!!
After submitting a post it is editable by you for around 20 mins. But how can you edit a new thread that you just began? It still says edit under it but clicking on edit only brings me to the main cr page, even literally seconds after sending it! Who knows?
MP Great Talent
I also enjoyed this one which was posted yesterday on the Welcome Back AYC thread:

You have gone, why?
You are the most wonderful guy
But now you make many of us cry.
So now after the Shem Tov you did earn
Wont you please return
From you we all did learn
And you are now our main concern
For while you have a justifiable irk
And this site you for now shirk
Your reaction is only knee-jerk
And we know you’ll be back with a smirk
For now our fingers do clench
We wait for you to our appetites quench
So dont let your heart wrench
Because you are the ultimate mentsh!
Come back with a confident smile
We are missing your artistic style
Which is oh so very vesatile
With a kop that is so fertile

Q: How many armies does it take to change a lightbulb ?
A: At least five. The Germans to start it, the French to give up really easily after only trying for a little while, the Italians to make a start, get nowhere, and then try again from the other side, the Americans to turn up late and finish it off and take all the credit, and the Swiss to pretend nothing out of the ordinary is happening.

Click the “contact us” link, forward the mods your resume, and I will forward it to some contacts.
Is this the nearest Jothar has come to admitting how close he is able to get to the mods office? Or is it a bluff? Hmm. Jothar=Mod??? Popa=80??? Feivel=80??? 80=gone??? AYC=coming back??? There sure is a lot to think about.
an opening for a half day job
??? ??????? ?? ???? ?? ?????? ?? ???
Sob. I hate posting this, but, sniff, according to feivel there is a vacancy in the mod office. I cant bring myself to name the mod he thinks has retired. Sob. But anyway if its money you’re after, this isnt for you because apparently there’s no Pay in any modding job at the moment. That’s if you think feivel is in a position to know. I am still awaiting confirmation. After all, he’s only a??? ??? , so it depends whether he’s a ??? ????? ???? or a ??? ??????? ?????? …
Oh yeah. Pull the other one! ?
Hold on a minute – I’ll comment on that when I get back.
K- I’m back. Oh wait! Hold on again.
Gefen LOL. Keep it up – it suits you.
I hate it when my kids friends call. They are from an instant generation (that WE raised and educated) who need what they want right away or sooner. They email then go crazy after 3 minutes if there’s no reply when we as kids used to mail letters and wait weeks for a response.
Please tell me if this sounds familiar: …so there I am on the (malafa) phone which I do very occasionally because it is not usually available, (yeah, that’s another parsha) and there’s a click. I see its a friend of one of my kids who they have just been a whole day with and been on the phone already 5 times since. So I ignore it as I am on an important call. Do they get the hint? No siree. They call again and again and again and again and again. It is so annoying. And when I’m off the phone, my daughter calls them back. They say “oh do you know your phone is broken, the clicks do not work”!!!
popa, how are you privy to such inside information? Are you a moderator?
Mods: Thanx for bringing this thread down onto the main page. Sticky colored shirts are for sure unsuitable for anyone to wear.
RB Why dont you do what I do? Simply hang up and call right back. Chances are they will often then take my click and then I continue the conversation as if nothing had happened… And next time they wont take someone else’s click, cause they will have taken the subtle hint!!!
aidel_maidel_who_loves_to_eat_knaidel: According to my logic, if you call from Israel to the US there should be a 7 hour delay
I thought OP stood for Opening Poster but its all the same thing. (You have sure been asking lots of questions recently, mik5…)

For a thread, click on URL on top of page in question then copy and paste it. For a post, click on # at end of the post then continue as above.

The mods have a list of at least 10 sn’s who were stalked/harassed. Don’t believe the Joseph sn’s. Feel free to click the “contact us” and confirm.
Jothar you know too much. Anyway the contact us does not work…
RB It doesnt mater who the Contact Us goes to. It for sure goes somewhere and that person should answer. I know they cant answer every email they get, but at least one or two would be a start…
Our Dear Am Yisrael Chai: I have tears in my eyes as I write this. AYC you probably have not been reading the coffeeroom while you were blocked. But I tell you, it was a very boring place. For two reasons. Firstly and foremostly because you were missing. There was nobody helping posters like you always did. Nobody was posting rhymes and puzzles in the way only you know how. And we were missing your unique way and sense of humor and sharpness. Secondly it was a VERY boring place because… most of the posts at the top of the cr page were all about you! We couldnt get off the topic! And apart from two or three posters with doubts, everyone else was CONVINCED of your innocence and were just waiting for this thread to arrive!
Besides for a couple of posters, NOBODY doubted your innocence. We only couldnt understand why your complete vindication was taking so long. Even the mods did not suspect AYC. They only suspected Joseph and thought that your sweet helpful nature was a cover for his nefarious methods.
So PLEASE come back to us! Hashiveinu eilecha… Chadesh yameinu kikedem! AYC – AYeCo? Begin a thread saying “I AM BACK”!
Mods Please email this post to him in case he’s not visiting here at the moment. Thank you.
Great subtitle BH ☺. After writing your autobiography, the least I could do was leave you with this. Now you’ve gotta post it on my ‘great subtitles of the coffeeroom’ thread. lol
I concur to Shticky Guy’s warning
Wow. That must be one of the smartest posts ever. You’re a Tzaddiq.
The most common forenames I know of are Hey! and Howyadoin?
Well around here the most common forenames I know of is, of course, Joseph.
Why coffee have you had the same lack of response? I suppose if any of the mods were coffee addict addicts they would answer you… ?
BaalHabooze, just read your post – LOL. You’re hysterical!
Hey M-ods give this guy a subtittle and a drink.
Yeah mods he sure deserves one. How about “on the rocks” or “whisky makes the world go round” or “Under the Maggid’s table”? BH would you like any of these?
Two women I know joined together to give Chai Rottel for Lag Baomer (or Lag Laomer… Sorry I’m harping back to a thread I once began) for 2 relatives of theirs to get engaged; one of whom has since married. Around half a year after Lag Baomer, one of the women told the other that she was expecting a baby. She replied that she was also! And they both gave birth within days of each other… ten months after Lag Baomer!!!
Today, Avraham would not have been accepted into a School, cause he’s the son of Terach. But Yishmoel would cause he’s Avrohom Avinu’s son! Sad but probably true!
Lets see if I get my first ever response to the Contact Us form despite having used it several times
Not seen any email back from YWN yet. A response would be appreciated if possible. Thank you.
What’s wrong with a support group?
Nothing. But unfortunately, with stalkers and trolls around, this is the type of thread that they would live off. It provides endless personal information.
I dont know the solution how to negate the efforts of stalkers and at the same time safely hold support groups online. Maybe create a new SN just for that thread? Whadya think?
I would like some reaction to my post
Moi aussi ☺.
And what about posters who are able to put up links to threads and even individual posts from years ago on a regular basis with apparent ease?
Deiyezooger?
Feif Un?
And there’s 2-3 more I’ve noticed whose names escape me at the moment.
And welcome back (again) to floating poster Mazal77. I see you’ve been posting for a couple of weeks now but kept forgetting to say hi so I’d better do it now before you disappear yet again! You bring good luck to the cr.
*STALKER/TROLL ALERT*
Look at how much personal information is being asked, prompted and volunteered in threads such as this one. And look at the unfamiliar or even one-off names. Never reply to such threads. Especially when the OP doesnt give but only wants to take and has no valid reason to justify it. Yes, maybe we have all been too trusting and naive until now. Things MUST change!
Yeah it sure is zeiyer foncusing times that we now live in. In times of old, trolls used to hide under bridges and frighten the crossing people or billy goats. Now they’re in our homes.
So yes dont feed any trolls including this troll. Dont post any more on this thread!! And dont answer stupid threads or posts that seem out of place or obvious such as which order to cut our nails or how to stop your shel rosh slipping down etc from last night! I’m sure the mods are looking into him also. Are they?
Hock +1 Like!
frumguy I have one and highly recommend it. Its a talitania and this is the secret… Regular taleisim are simply that bit too wide! I didnt realize until I got a non slip which are narrower meaning there’s less excess tallis on your shoulders so there’s less to slip down. Try one on and you’ll see immediately what I mean! Mine used to drive me crazy but now BH I can daven in peace, slip free.
mik5 your knot needs tightening. It takes between 10-30 seconds and most sofrim will happily do it for free.
Anybody else have any problems? Uncle Shticky will endeavor to resolve them. Only $100 a time.
coffee addict: ha ha ha. It had to be you didnt it! You sure are living up to your name! Do you wear a coffee patch on shabbos?
Bump. How many seconds after havdalla / motzei shabbos was it when you checked in??? (OP where are you?)
Nobody has answered my question 🙁 even after passfan’s prompt (thank you).
Someone in shul told me that its along the lines that Eretz yisrael should start when we begin geshem but we give time for the oleh regalim to get home across the country. Whereas chutz laaretz give much longer to get home so they begin at the traditionally rainy reason. Can anyone improve or comment on this?
I have a big problem. I have received some emails from friends over the last few days. But are they posters here at ywn or not, if yes then dont I have to report them?
And how do I ask them whether they post here or not without it looking as if I am stalking them ending up with me being reported to YWN? Oh never mind. I’ll leave it to the cyber experts here. I’m off to taste my shabbos food or something less risky that I need not fear of a knock on my door in the middle of the night. Good Shabbos everyone! I’ll leave the Yeshiva World Nightmare to someone else. When I return after Shabbos hopefully it will be calmer here!
