It's November again, which means it's time for the dread quasiannual "Ask an Admin day" thread! As usual the thread, despite being named ask an admin DAY, will likely go for several. The ground rules:
  • If you ask, your karma is 2.00.


  • How much do they pay their Admin for the work here as Alla?

    About 18 seconds from now.

    Wait a minute, are admins allowed to ask an admin?

    Not 100% sure, but likely the same chances of you inadvertantly being squished by a 40 ton gold brick while you are practicing your lines for a major broadway showing of :the Karma story, staring paulie shore" in the next 4 minutes, give or take.

    Fine.

    As posted on another forum of mine... they discovered that there is something at www.apple.com happening tomorrow as you can clearly see. There are thoughts about it being wireless syncing, some 'cloud' thing, or even some new streaming music service through itunes that will do away with the current mp3 piracy system that's in use now by the RIAA... any thoughts and conjectures on what might be up?

    Also, since we are recently under mostly republican power now, and more than likely our next president will be some shady republican, do you think this country will ever be able to sort itself out and move away from this archaic political system? Basically I just want you to tell me when pot and gay marriage will be legal.

    /end serious

    forgot a word...

    Everyone seems to be thinking it will be the apple crapphone 4.2 OS rolled out to a bunch of different devices and maybe the long delayed subscription Itunes service. Given the timing though right before thanksgiving purchasing season, I'd look for them to roll out a new model ipad, maybe the rumored smaller one, and maybe a few updated ipods. Nothing recent has slipped through the leakometer, so I don't think its a major new hardware product. The ipod news would tie in with a major itunes subscription service announcement, especially given the zune tie in with windows mobile 7 and how they have been regarding that as a potential threat.

    June 5th, 2047 it will become legal for you to marry male pot plants...

    Are you saying they have a policy that you can't discuss your pay? Many companys do. If you can't because of it I understand. If not? Then I guess its more than we think.

    1. Trust me, its not a huge amount. I can, and do make more doing other things. It's not really about the pay though for me at least.
    2. Yes we do have such a policy
    3. It's not really polite to my co workers to discus that type of thing.

    This is a part time job for me, My other full time job pays the bills. this one just funds my computer upgrades.

    Will you shorten ThePsychoticOne's name, because it's too @#%^ing long? Or at least ban him from using those ridiculously long premium titles?

    Can my journal be linked on the "Cross Site forums" tab?

    Hmm. Probably one of the more agrivating things is checking the various links that get posted. It's easier now with report thread, but I've seen some terrible things over the years. Then there were situations like the whole 'Abbay / oxid" saga where some punk little kid tried and essentially succeeded in convincing the forum "she" had just suffered back to back miscairages" eventually caught him in some fairly big lies, but there was alot of heated back channel excahnge from that one that never got aired out in the forums that was really annoying. The death threat had to be pretty far up the list as well. The thread itself was accompanied by several "interesting" e-mais sent directly from the individual, and remains one of only 2 threads I know of where law enforcement actually got involved. The other being the whole "skeet" mess.

    There have been some ban actions that have been less than plesent too over the years for various reasons. Some I dind't agree with but were directed, a few others where I got overruled, but were eventually reinstated. Those are never fun.
