re:moderator...

I know that the events have been of special circumstances, and many of you thought I was involved, so I'll let this one slide.

If you are going to "go behind my back" for lack of a better term, and email the nest gods directly about problems on this board- there really is no point to me being a moderator.

So for future issues, please contact me.

Thanks!

  • Someone actually emailed the "nest gods" about all of that? WOW!

  • I have tried to stay out of this as much as possible, but I feel like saying something this morning because you keep posting about it.

    The events of that night, whether intentional or not, went like this:

    • Nikki posts her poll about Googling peoples names to find out juicy dirt on them (not sure how nobody has realized that that is when this all started).
    • You then posted about keeping things from us.
    • Katie posts the info about Jen.

    As it has played out, Katie is taking all the blame - fair enough.  But if someone really felt strongly about being disappointed about what happened and they wanted to contacted the board administrators about the situation, I can see how they wouldn't be comfortable contacting you.

    I agree and I glad that someone else finally noticed how it all went down.

  • I wasn't around for the drama the other night, but I certainly was for the aftermath. I think, as a mod, you must appear to be "above the fray" when it comes to stuff like what went down the other night, and from my perspective you appeared to be less than objective and quite involved. Sometimes it's just about the idea that someone has about what a mod's role is that would make them feel that you were (or weren't) doing what you should. Does that makes sense? I think I just confused myself.
  • YES I did post about googling, but not to "start" anything. I had received like 10 messages between here and FB saying "OMG did you know XYZ..."  I had never googled another nestie, so I was wondering if I was in the minority or not.

    It was an honest poll and not how everything "started."  Katie I had nothing to do with your post, or your DD, so don't thank someone for mentioning that I started it. You PM'd me asking if I knew, I said yes, and then you posted about it.

  • I wasn't going to say anything either, but I feel like I should. I was lurking around and was around for the whole thing. I don't know any of you IRL, I'm not friends with anyone on FB and until this morning I didn't even know what a "moderator" was. Nor did I really care. I guess I'm totally on the outside of the Nest bubble. I just enjoy chatting every once in a while.

    Anyway, when I read Amy's original post about telling "us" things, the first thought that came to mind was, oh boy she knows something about someone!!! Then I saw Katie's post. If I were involved, I don't think I would have felt comfortable going to you about the situation. 

    What and who are nest gods?

    The nest gods are the nesties that are acutally workers of the The Nest... their AE are nest(name) I can't think of any right now... but if you have an issue with the board/person etc you can contact them (via PM I assume?) and they will look into the issue.

    The also have the ability to read PMs I think.

    Amies is the moderator to avoid having issue go directly to the gods. If we don't like something on the board we should message her and she's to address it.

    Sorry Nikki, the thank you wasn't because you started it. Just that you to were involved. It just seems like Amies and I are getting all the blame, but you were also involved. Not that I want anyone to get mad at anyone else. I would really like the fighting to stop.

    To clarify, Nikki, Amies and myself were not in cahoots with each other about our posts. I posted on my own with no one else's involvement. I DD because I was asked to, that's all.

    In fact I received a message from the nest gods thanking me for removing the post as they were going to remove it if I did not.

    I agree- I was only involved because people called me out and made me involved.  I had to defend myself.  I really did not want to be involved in that mess, but wasn't about to let people point fingers at me.

    Thats why I said what I said "for FUTURE problems, contact me"- I can see why people didn't want to contact me, I get it.  But for future, contact me instead of going right to them. :)
