I'm not playing the victim just stating that from the looks of it. I'm the only only that's open enough to come out and say my opinion of the media darling Trollheart.

BD said that she would look more into it, Vanilla mentioned that she would start looking more into them and Jans is back from vacation now and I know he will look at it during the mornings when he's on at work. By it, I mean the journal queue. So dead horse is dead and doesn't need to be beaten anymore or resurrected. I know it's close to Halloween but I don't want to see any zombie horses just for you guys to keep beating on this dead horse.

You don't know Trollheart like I do. I work with local politicians and I see his type all the time. He's kissing babies and brown nosing his constituents but when he gets in power the power will corrupt him absolutely.

I know how to use a gun but I don't own one. I don't need to. My fists are registered weapons.

I might, perhaps, suggest that a new semi-joke thread might be started, maybe by me, in which DJ and others can voice their opposition to my inevitable rise to power and eventual total domination and subjugation of this forum, pathetic though their attempts to prevent my ascension to glory may be, and doomed to failure as they most assuredly are.
Thank you. I'm glad the intended party that the joke was for was able to see what I was doing somewhat. Just like he's been posting vote for me pics in this thread. I have mounted my smear campaign!


OBJECTION!


New evidence has presented itself.

See Exhibit E. This is a hint of his true intentions peeking through.

Now who's joking?
He doesn't want to be journal mod. It is just a front for him to get into power and perma ban me!

Exhibit F
Let's not forget how racist this devious Trollheart can be.

Yes of course it is. No question. Point is, when you don't work with black people (there weren't that many around in Ireland at this time) you tended to say that a little more than you should. Mind you, in one way it was always meant as a compliment in a rather stupid offhand way --- working so hard. I know of course that refers to slaves, so don't get on my back about it being in no way a compliment. I'm just saying that we would say things like "working like a nig ger" to mean industrious, busy etc whereas "tight as a Scotsman" etc would be a negative thing.
Exhibit G.

Another shining example of Trollheart's qualities. Viewing Homosexuality as a negative thing. Oh no, let's not mistake Trollheart for being gay.

And to be perfectly honest, no, twenty-four hours later isn't really good enough in my opinion. If the posts are not being checked, edited, spellchecked etc, and all that's needed is a tick in a box, why should that realistically take a day?

Again, if there was one person to do this it would not: it would be done on more than likely an hourly basis, which is what I would like to see. A reasonable time frame in my mind for post approval would be an hour or two after it's submitted.
I'm sorry, but that point comes across as incredibly impatient. I know that we now live in a society where everything is instant, and we've forgotten how to wait, but people still have lives off the Internet. Ideally, members with at least 500 posts (or perhaps 1,000) should just be able to post in journals without having to be approved, but right now that is not the case. Everybody has to wait for a mod to check the queue. I can't promise that it's going to happen once an hour though.

I always feel like you are the only one to continuously complain about the lack of speed in terms of post approval. The original discussion thread wasn't even originally about the frequency of approvals, but it dissolved into such a discussion. TH, you are a great member and a huge asset to this community, but this is just what I've been noticing lately.

My honesty probably comes across as crass but I had to put that all out there.

Power will corrupt me? What makes you think I'm not already corrupt?


I know the girls said they'd look into the delays, and I believe they will, and yes with Jansz back things will, and have, already improved (today's posts were approved in hyperfast time), but the fact is that over time this issue will get forgotten and neglected again, and we'll be back to square one.

While I appreciate all the efforts made by the mods in the last few days, I know that at some point it'll all start to slide, which is not their fault, and rather than keep whining about it I want to do something about it. What is that phrase: don't come to me with your problems unless you have solutions? Well, I have one.

DJ, your "lethal" fists won't protect you from a permaban should you stand in my way and defy my rise to power. You have been warned.

And yes, I fully expect you to use that in your smear campaign against me.

Touching that you've spent so much time trawling back over what I've said weeks or months ago to find dirt on me: if there's one thing a good smear campaign requires it's dedication, and you've certainly got that. You are of course doomed to failure, but as The Batlord might say, I applaud your efforts, misguided though they may be, and futile as they will turn out.

Tomorrow belongs to Trollheart. All dissenting opinions will be crushed without merc --- er, hold on. Sorry, reading from the wrong flash card there. That's the one for after I win. Sorry sorry. Where was I? Oh yes: vote for Trollheart! Vote for real change!
Vote for more use of the shycouch icon!
Vote for endless journal updates, and the rise to dominance of AOR and Prog rock across the whole forum!
Vote for Vanilla as my Queen!
Vote now, vote often!

i get what hes sayin. if mods dont read the posts and basically just have to make one click, 24 hours is a long time when ya consider that there are like 10 mods and all it takes is one to take literally 10 seconds to approve it

again not hatin just sayin. i dont get chameleons hate on trollheart hate either. is this where i say you're obsessed? or a dickrider? sorry takin cues from herm, ass napkin, etc. i thought this might be the time to do that lol. no but really, he is a member who wrks hard on his content and has asked nicely every time about his journals and been polite as possible about it and he gets hated on. i dont get it

To be fair, I'm not, I'm just the one who voices what is a shared opinion. Which is odd, as I'm a very quiet person. But given that I spend so much time on my journals, and that I have so many (five now) is it surprising that I should be the one to complain? Especially in something like Metal Month, where Saturday's posts weren't approved till late Sunday, leaving me really with no posts for Sunday, and I had intended to update every day.

Again, I reiterate: I'm not saying people should not have lives and I'm happy to do this myself if allowed. But considering what you have revealed about how the process goes for approval, I can't see any reason why 24 hours is acceptable. If I'm posting on any other forum where posts are required to be approved, a general rule of thumb is that the post is there within at least a few hours of my submitting it. Look at it this way: if I'm having a conversation with someone through the journal (Batty, US, Ant) is it really right that I should have to wait 24 or more hours for the reply, or to be able to reply? That's like playing chess by mail! The internet is supposed to be fast, and while I'm not claiming that journal updates should supercede anything else in terms of priority, I really can't see a reasonable excuse for such a delay.

Consider also that almost everyone else, with the exception of Unknown Soldier and maybe Ki, updates maybe once a week, so will probably not notice any delay as such. But if they, or others, were or are posting every day, I think you would see a lot more muttered comments about delays. It's manifesting itself through me because I'm the one who posts so regularly, and like I said before I could hit yaz with five or six posts at once, but it doesn't seem fair, so I prefer to send up one or two, wait till they're approved and then submit the next ones. If I have to wait 24 + hours for that, I'm tempted to just send a big batch in all at once, which is I think something nobody wants.

I'm trying to see it from the mods' side, but it seems to me that you personally have a problem with me and are not doing the same. Your journal may not mean as much to you as mine does to me, and I'm not saying I run into the bathroom and slash my wrists if my latest update still isn't posted a day later (sorry DJ!) but it does rankle, and I wonder then why it takes so long. As I say, today's ones were approved superfast, BUT is this a result of my constant badgering of you guys, and if I did not do that, would my posts just get done as and when? Sometimes to be heard you have to shout, and though that shout may annoy people it does seem to be getting something done. Whether, after the echo of the shout has died away and been forgotten, this will still be the case is my worry. Which is why I tend to not want to drop it.

I hope none of the above is taken too personally by you BD, but to be fair you're having something of a go at me, for nothing more than pushing to have my work published in a timely manner, and I felt I needed to respond to that. An hour may not be achievable, but surely five, six, ten is not impossible?

I think if people are a little more patient and accepting of us mods not being online all the time (due to our personal lives), your posts will be approved relatively quickly. I think this issue has been discussed enough and there is no more to be said. You have 7 or so mods hanging around to approve the posts so there isn't really any need for a "journal mod".

If anyone has further issues, please feel free to PM one of the team.
