Zxian Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 I just need to vent....I'm sure that the mods here can feel my pain. I'm the moderator of the student computers and mailing lists for my department at UBC (Engineering Physics). The mailing lists are meant to be used by the students for discussion regarding department related events.Last night, a student sent out an e-mail regarding a Canada Day weekend frat party. This in itself is not on. What's worse though is that upon recieving the e-mail (I'm guessing, since this is the first time that I've seen these types of e-mails), two other students decide to promote their own events - one was a CD release party, the other was some other thing that I didn't even bother to read.Why do these people think that all of a sudden the rules have changed?!?!?!? I was nice today and sent out a warning e-mail to the entire list (to curb any other people who might think that this is ok), but my "ban" finger is really twitchy... and the next sign of rule-breaking... man... they better watch out!Thanks... I needed to get that out...
Astalavista Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 Why dont you suggest that they create their own mailing list network.so that cuts you out of the loop.I love Frat parties!
Zxian Posted June 20, 2005 Author Posted June 20, 2005 It's not my place or responsibility to do that for them. It's the first time that it's happened, but I'm just surprised that three e-mails all came within the past 10 hours.
Astalavista Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 (edited) It only means that the email was successful in getting the word out.Beats having to pass out flyers on campus. When you can just email or blast to everyone.They just have to get the database to spam everyone, if there is a party. Edited June 20, 2005 by Astalavista
Blam-O! Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 My favorite one was when a high school kid was using a backdoor to the main server to upload his mps, misc files, but was mostly using the gateway server for his own personal storage, (about 2GB worth!) Those' Bastards! Delete them all or write them into a very small script shell......
prathapml Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Asta, there are 2 ways of looking at anything Zxian, yup, got whatcha meant. Its indeed enough to drive anyone to rage! Hang on in there, man.... hope that a day comes when rules do get followed...
Lost Soul Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 yea hang in there , if its the first time it may not happen again, id chaulk it up as strike 1 but your right they should follow the rules
Zxian Posted June 23, 2005 Author Posted June 23, 2005 Thanks everyone,Yeah... like I said... with me right now, everyone's got their first strike ever since I sent out the warning e-mail... anyone tries that crap again gets banned... Man I love having the power.
Blam-O! Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 Man I love having the power. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Admin RULEZ
Gowcra Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 It's not hard to follow the rules. I dont see why people feel they must "go round" the rules. It is a big mystery to me.
Zxian Posted June 29, 2005 Author Posted June 29, 2005 Admin RULEZ <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Yup... thanks to Pantharen, I got this great picture...I laughed so hard when I first saw this...
Pantharen Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 NP, your welcome to use it, abuse it, save it. Etc. etc. (got told by mods here it was too big ) So I resized it once again to 300x100, even the fist size was too big at 400x100, and original size 600x178.Sigh! And I have so many wierd signatures.
