06/22 - Tasty Thursday!

i feel you. my oh-so-sweet kitten is being an absolute terror right now. i keep threatening to put him on craigslist.

like, why the crap is he scratching at and biting a wall? i feel like there's a tell-tale heart situation going on and i just don't want to know about it.

 

**AHEM**

Please, minions, cower in fear of your new moderator overlord, @GreenMachine842

I consider him our new enforcer of wholesomeness as per the announcement thread earlier. Run, friendly denizens of the Hub, for I may be looking for more sacrificial Turkers to join him in efforts to brainwash the masses into venturing into the welcome subforum (which is actually where I found GM wandering about, hugging newbies, and lying about how nice of a place mTurk is).

Let us hope the newfound power doesn't go to his head.. We've never actually murdered a mod here yet.. I'd like to credit my excellent selection skills, but seeing as I kinda just stole all the old MTG mods I guess that might be stretching it a bit.

 

Congrats @GreenMachine842!

 

one of my cats does this but we're pretty sure he escaped from an asylum

 

Anyone have a time on the $8 Galileo?

Yes.. Very demanding job. Hopefully he's awake during the one time a month someone decides to be too mean..

Now if @Buzby could just dedicate her life to turking I could keep the guy:girl ratio correct on the staff team..

There's a guide @Melting Glacier wrote (the irony that even I didn't know half the stuff in it) in the staff forum.. which I think you have access to now.. but if you don't.. well just don't press the button that says "MOAB"
