Ok Mods, What's With The Moons?

[Innordinate]

Just that.

Can't be random.

reference to 'how many full moons' until ... I forget what.

Just curious. I was about to log off and noticed.

I think it's a joke they have about people faking PTSD. The people who fake all seem to come to the forum at once, like in a moon cycle... that's what I've heard anyway. Correct me if I'm wrong here.

 

[Red Feather]

Hihi. How funny! It must be a secret I guess...

 

[catjudo]

Typically when there is a full moon we experience more problems on the forum such as people complaining or new members challenging rules, etc. Always more work for us during a full moon. Today is not a full moon, but rather a new moon...however, some of the usual full moon difficulties seemed to be flaring up and the mods all decided to change our avatars accordingly.

You were close, Jen, but it has nothing to do with people who are faking PTSD.

Kind of a "dark side of the moon" type of thing! :eek:

I have a friend who's a paramedic and they hate full moon nights. So many more outbursts, aggression and meltdowns. From what you say, it sounds the same on the forum!

 

[ClairBear226]

Yep. I'm a nurse, and have worked nights shift since 1992. I've actually planned vacation time around the cycle of the moon. :roflmao: Of course, there are nights where it feels like I have my own personal full moon following me around, though. Sometimes the wackiness needs to occur more than once a month.

I think it's a joke they have about people faking PTSD.

Gotta ask, though. Who the hell would want this :poop:?

 

[Innordinate]

Nobody wants it. They just wanna f*ck with people who have it. And people who don't have it and do want it have no idea what kind of :poop: it is they want. Bored teenagers? Some way to feel bad ass that won't get their parents pissed off enough to revoke their allowances.

 

[Hashi]

They don't want it, they want a payoff. Like pretending to have a bad back to get signed off work - it doesn't mean you want your back to hurt. Or convincing yourself that your hangovers are a migraine condition - you don't really want migraines and probably have no idea how awful they are. It just suits you to attach that label to yourself, so you want to play the part.

 

[Hashi]

Sorry, that was off topic.

Back to moons. :alien:
