well, for the moment there's some oddness going on, so i'm gonna move your thread back to general for now.
Go to your user CP and click "Join Usergroups" You'll see the SWINE and the PUNDITS each posted there. Declare your allegiance!! Or choose both and be a waffler - see if I care :P

Ok, This "Pig pen" and "pundit's Parlor" thing is good fun; but you guys haven't really told me fuck all about it. I look it up and suddenly find I'm a moderator.
What exactly does that mean?
Also, do people have to be members of a group to be able to read the threads there? Is the "Pig Pen" really empty or does it just appear that way because I'm not a member?
RPGPundit
The Pigpen was temporarily empty because of technical difficulties.
Go to your User CP, left side, near the bottom, click Group Memberships. If you want to post in the Pigpen, join the group. :)

1) moderate with care. oh, and it only works in the punditry.
2) pig pen was empty due to technical difficulties. oh, that and the fact that its late sunday night, and all of the SWINE have lives.

Ace of Spades RPG Rules:1. To play this game, you will need an Ace of Spades. Whoever has the Ace of Spades is the GM, and whatever rules and ruling the GM makes are correct, unless they come into conflict with the rules written here.
2. The game is set wherever the GM sets it. The characters are whoever they like, with GM approval.
3. Play proceeds as normal, with the GM describing scenes, players describing actions, blah, blah, you get the idea, buddy.
4. Anytime any player has a problem with the way the game is going, they can demand "a spin". If a player demands a spin too often, the other players are free to mock and deride them as desired.
5. To make a spin, the current GM places the Ace on the table, face-up, and spin it. Whoever the point at the top of the 'spade' is pointing at when the card stops spinning is the new GM.
6. To start the game, spin the ace. Then get playing.
7. Why are you still
reading this?

Edited response pointing out how that's the very defintion of a "Swine" after noticing mod statement.
Anyways, Gunhilda only responded to one part of my questions; the others would be to ask exactly wtf a Moderator does, and also to confirm that people who do not choose to become members of a given group can still read the posts in the other group, even if they can't post to it?

Quote from: RPGPunditUm, that's pretty much the definition of a Swine. Just add that they think "the game" is something on par with writing a thesis on Plato's Republic or painting the Sistene Chapel, and you've got it in one.

I refer you to the proper forum.you have been given a forum for your particular brand of telling other people how to have fun while being a gay-ass elf.

As a moderator you can post in the swine forum - but you can't moderate there or anywhere but the pundit forum. So gather your armies young mod - for the Nutkins have smiled upon you and great fortune awaits the winner of this epic contest of wills between you and Maddman. The fortune of the free world rides on your shoulders - and none know which side will prevail. Only one thing is certain - both forums die when they lose the funneh :heh:
You can't ban anyone (neither can maddman) but feel free to close open and sticky threads :)

I had responded to the offensive post before reading further down on the thread and noticing your moderator "warning" about it.
I understand your position, and I think that these new fora are fine if they help to keep people from senselessly arguing the same cyclical debate over and over again, and especially if it stops people from threadcrapping (note though that I'd still like to get answers to those questions of mine).
However, if this forum is just a subtle form of censorship, where absolutely ANYTHING that I or certain other people post will be taken as "potentially offensive" and be thrown back to the "pundit parlor" then this really won't be a productive change around here...

Let me sell you straight on this, Pundit. We don't care what you discuss out in the other forums, but if threads devolve into "yes it is!" "no it isn't" endless arguments and self wankery, then it might end up in the new forums. Also, we Squirrels like to keep ourselves amused, and we find this amusing. For the moment.
Is that clear?
Now... where did I put the gasoline for this thing? :heh:
BTW, usernames in blue are pundits. Usernames in purple are swine. Usernames in yellow are mice and in brown are rats. Those two groups will debut next week.

Note we will be watching. You take it to far and you'll wake up in the basment of a eastern european rundown hotel tied to chair while a large hairy Russian does unseemly things to your nether regions.
Oh and I have many large weapons just in case you try to get away. :heh:
Also note that being squirrels we have not decided on what "to far" is yet. You will be subjected to our ever changing whims and vices. So do think before you spout or you may be facing our squirrely wrath. :devil:

A word of advice (if you're still coming to this site) - stop taking yourself so seriously. That's the absolute worst thing you can possibly do at Nutkinland. That's been true as far back as Nutkinland has existed. The best thing you can do when you feel you are the subject of a joke is to roll with it. If you do so, you'll have moved a helluva lot further towards making yourself a true denizen of Nutkinland. Don't ask about parameters, don't rail against censorship, don't stomp off in a huff - just get in there and see what you can do. Look at your user cp to see what new goodies (if any) you get as a moderator. Less talk more action!

you need to join the proper groups. go into your userCP, and on the left there should be a group membership link.

Go to User CP. Look on the left, near the bottom. Find Group Memberships. Click on it. You can get access there.
EDIT: Thjalfi beat me to it.
Sweet! I win ten alewhores.
Thanks for the helps.
