Okay,
My name is Prairie Fire, and I am the new moderator of the "Mutual Aid and DIY" part of Revleft. I've never been a mod before, I'm not 100% familiar with all the various functions that I have to perform, nor am I familiar with how to perform certain actions. What some may percieve as gross negligance of my mod duties is just me in the dark about how to perform these duties. Everyone be cool, and stop snitching. I'm still in the process of figuring this out. Thanks, Prairie Fire, Mutual Aid/ DIY Mod

I'll be honest, I PMed an admin. Thanks for clarifying your circumstance.
More I figured that since you were appointed a mod of the forum, you would have lots to say on the subject and was disappointing when I didn't hear anything. I think this forum is great and has lots of unrealized potential.

Well, to be honest, no I have very little to say on this subject.
Considering my complete disdain for lifestylism, I am the wrong fit for this part of the board. In contrast to that, around the same time that I was given a position as mod of Mutual aid/DIY, there was also an opening for a mod of "Womyn's Struggles", which has been assigned to Apikoros. I would have prefered that position. But, whatever. I'll see what I can do here, but keep in mind that I have almost no enthusiasm what-so-ever for the subject matter here. It is my view that if some comrades spent more time organizing, and less time knitting and growing vegetables, we would have larger and more solid organizational forms to proceed in our work with. Just saying.

i thought mods were supposed to be "forum leaders" and be involved in the particular forum. why would you want to mod a forum you not only have no interest in but actually think is detrimental?

I am would have preferred the mod of the forum to have at least some interest in the subject, but given that you were elected without your knowledge and the politics of this forum, about which I do not pretend to understand, you can hardly be faulted for accepting a position as moderator.

Why is it the mod is running something they don't like. Wouldn't a better fit be someone who actually cares about it and haslots to contribute? I'm very confused on why this would happen at all.

It seems that you don't care at all about your position, and are almost resentful for getting it.
Why are you a mod for this forum then?! |

Hey, all.
I will have limited internet access for the next week, so I will most likely be kept from performing mod duties, which I will resume next monday. Sorry for the inconvenience, Prairie fire

Hey another reason not the right mod for this.
This section's already too slow. Not that I dislike the mid personally or anything.

Not really, Gwydion is pretty spot on here. I find it silly to complain how tough your life is, how hard it is to pay for everything, how much your health sucks while you're going out and blowing money gambling or getting wasted/smoking. Sure, capitalism sucks, but it's no excuse to throw personal responsibility out the window.

(I am not poking fun at you from a moralistic perspective, I just have that sense of humor) Just remember if you buy something you're condoning the labor practices in which it was made, etc. I myself will not claim purity as I have a tendency to "not give a fuck" about anything most of the time. I'll be the first to point out that I'm vain as fuck and buy lots of make up and clothes, (food has less a priority for me, beauty over health)
