Stuff and a gift for our mods - posting Edited for clairty. The subject line, well is the subject line it's been changed. All other edits will be in Italics.
The original title was moderator gifts and thoughts. If I change the title then the body doesn't make sense. Changing it to a vanilla topic should help any confusion. My intent was something for the modds and then own to thoughts in general
I've modded my share of communities, it's never an easy job to be a moderator. From experience I know that moderators always look at the speed of the community and it's not what they want, they blame themselves.
All communities have a speed cycle in terms of the flow - it's like the ebb and tide - neither are predictable.
I think there is something go around cause it seems to be a bad time for everyone. The worst for me personally. But if you look at how many characters you have, if you could post one a week, it will make them come back and be all happy faced.
I'm going to do two kinds of posts one that are open and others -Mother's Day Memories- Which would be open for comments, as if My character let you see the feelings. So hopefully that will help get some activity and get people threading.
I call it a solo thread, where you can either not let people comment at all or only what you say. So I'm doing some solo threads, as well.
That's the thought part of, the gift would be keeping up posting so their attitudes are up, and keep all three of them in your thoughts and finally
On another note, in case you haven't heard one of the people we rp with in other communities lost her grandfather. Today was his funeral. Send her thoughts via email or your IM. You may not know what to say, that doesn't matter, I find people need support and that's all they really want. Virtual hugs, etc. are awesome, too.
