Lately the stream has been getting out of controll behaviour wise, lots of RPing that wasn't being reigned in, stupid crap that shouldn't have ever happened and lots of freaking drama in which i am frusterated with myself for letting happen.

The mods have come to a consensus that if they're going to earn thier pay (they get one freebie from me a month as payment for thier service and no this is not an open invitiation to ask to be a mod, it doesn't work that way) they're going to take thier job alot more seriously. Not that they haven't but i think they're going to be a bit stricter with allowing the rules to be more solidly enforced than just 'eh".

I didn't realize how much I was holding them back untill last night when all hell practically broke loose.

From now on, the mods are going to do thier job and they have the right to make the call ON THIER OWN without my consultation anything from repremands, warnings to a 5 minute ban. I can at any time choose to override thier decisions/warnings/bans if i think they're being too harsh with a certain situation. 2 week and permabans still have to go through me, so rest assured if im not paying attention and something happens, its by far not going to effect you for very long if you were acting up.

I have a job to do the mods have thier job to do. I was trying to KEEP them from doing thier job by trying to micromanage them AND do art, and as evidenced by last night, they kind of.... did a friendly mutiny of the stream for the sake of my sanity because i was HARDLY paying attention at all. I love each and every one of my mods and Im happy to say that aside from a few PR issues here and there they essentially were able to whip the stream back in shape.


Things to remember about me people. I have ADD, i can get distracted VERY easily and the medicine i bought to fix that i can't take very often because it can cause liver issues if taken excessively. And I like my Liver. So lets all work together to make sure the stream runs smoothly and Drama and CRAZY WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED ITS LIKE KILLING FLOOR ZOMBIES EVERYWHERE RUUUUUUNNNN doesnt happen.

Basic rules to follow:

When Hormel's Law is called aka someone shouts "BACON" it means to shut up and talk about something else, preferably bacon. attempts to continue to talk about the subject will be seen as grandstanding/drama mongering, and warnings will be metted out.

There are topics you dont discuss around me. OS battles are a hotbutton for me, i dont care if you can CIVILLY discuss what you like about X operating system but saying apple, windows, linux is crap, overpriced, stupid,buggy etc is going to make me see red. I USE A MAC, I LOVE MY MAC, NOTHING ANYONE SAYS IS GOING TO MAKE ME CHANGE THAT. Its like owning a breed of Dog, and loving that dog. You wouldnt want someone to come up to you and tell you that your Dog is overpriced and stupid, would you? No. so don't do it to me or anyone else.

Being intentionally abrasive and argumentitive is another way to get my goat, i get that people have differing opinions from my own and i respect thier opinions, but durnng every discussion attempted into a mudslinging contest about my interests is going to wear thin on me very quickly.

Running jokes are only funny for so long, then they get annoying and old and UNFORTUNATELY for me, I laugh at everything, a rule of thumb, if it isn't a loud boisterous cackle like i usually do or me whooping like a Hyena, i probably dont think its all that funny. I laugh as a defensive mechanisim when im uncomfortable or trying just to think of something to say, usually evidenced by an uneasy giggle "eheheh" < is usually what it sounds like. I can't help i do this, i really can't Its like a stutter, its an involuntary thing.

If a mod tells you to stop something, dont argue, dont throw a little hissy fit and make a point that your leaving. This is drama. If you try to cause any of it in MY stream I will throw you to the dogs that are my Mods. (... and most of them are... no.. all of them ARE canine fursonas..... huh... i did NOT plan that at all.... sweeet) I've grown increasingly senstive to drama mongering even in the slightest incarnation, if you bring drama or try to make drama in my stream, expect fur to fly. My mods for the most part are older than me they're alot less tolerant of stupid crap than i am, ergo they're perfect for dealing with juvenile crap. my mods are allowed to mod ME if they think i'm getting out of hand or too silly, they smack me and tell me to pay attention to my art, and i love them for it.

I know i say i fap to drama, but its honestly to me like watching a sport, its lots of fun and you get to cheer for your favorite team, but asking me to PLAY the sport is a whole other matter, if it were soccer for example i'd pick the ball up and chuck it at the goal, i don't play by the rules, i end the game. I like WATCHING drama, i dont like being apart of it.


NOW with that said I AM NOT UPSET AT ANYONE, i dont hold grudges and unless your one of those unfortunate nitwits thats on my permabanned list, odds are ive already forgave and forgot. All i want is for my stream to run smoothly with little to no drama.

As far as my TOS goes, the "pay after the commission" thing is going to be changed to ONLY apply to appointments and people who are on my "gold' or higher credit plan. People who are in bronze or silver, you're going to have to pay me before the month is up and from now on you'll be required to pay at the end of each week if you plan on purchasing more than one thing from the new store.

People who ARE on the gold plan or higher:

Sierra
Ampersand
Lina
Maldran
Jade
Kere
Rylana
Rebel squirrel

if you dont see your name here, you're on a two-week payment plan. you have two weeks to get me my stuff, i'll be doing budget on thursday so i WILL know who owes what. If for some reason you can't pay in two weeks, i'll work something out with you, since I know lots of peeps owe money. Im not going to be mean about it, i just want everyone on a clean slate come next month.
