[NAL] Moderating YYG is such fun

Posted by Notalot on Aug. 3, 2008, 7:17 a.m.

Today, I will share with you some of the comments and stuff I've had from other people on YoYo Games, as many of them are rather stupid.

Of course, I've had a bulk of people asking me to play their games, one of which wanted a staff pick and decided that sucking up would help his case (posted on my guestbook):

"could u make this a staff pick http://www.yoyogames.com/games/show/41084.BTW i love ur games"

There was then a response from somebody else on my guestbook:

"sponjeboob i asked a mod. to do that once and he said no, sponjeboob your cubed game dosen't really DESERVE a staff pick"

THIS member then actually PMed me sheepishly asking if I could play and staff pick one of his games. Yay for being hypocritical (his games aren't up to standard, to put it kindly).

After I erased someone's history of posts because they all consisted of "BRING DOWN YOYOJIM!", he responded on my guestbook saying:

"I wouldn't delete anything of yours unfairly. Check back, the only thing of yours I have removed is all this childish "BRING DOWN YOYOJIM" nonsense."

I recall making a post about me saying my head hurt.. WHERE IS THAT, HUH?"

Last time I looked, this website wasn't NetDoctor.

I've had a string of three posts from a member, which go as follows:

"I HATE YOU NAL YOUR SO RUDE"

"somebody said you are?"

"are you?"

I've never spoken to this person in my life, but I try not to come across as rude. If I do… well, it doesn't really bother me if I'm being honest. I'm not unfair.

There was one member who had flooded his own guestbook with over 1,000 posts consisting of "………". After I'd said "Stop spamming, please." he responded "stop telling what to do PLEASE lolololol". After spamming again, and becoming a little confused as to why his posts were disappearing at the same speed as they were appearing, someone else quietly told him that the star next to my name indicated I was a moderator. He posted this for me:

"…Please dont ban me!!!

i only do this on my own guessbook!!!

whats so wrong with that??? why would you ban me for that??? <=( comm'on! i just do it for fun!!! its not like im saying bad stuff!!!"

He posted "……" a thousand times for fun. Yay!

Several users have wondered how I became a moderator. Did I ask? Did I find the hidden application form?

"how did you get staff"

Or how did I get staff?

After I erased somebody else's messages, which all consisted of random flaming (fucking cunt, your so gay, for instance), he PMed me with this:

"NAL, I'm sorry, I wanted to know your e-mail so I could let you know about when some member spams or something."

You don't get much more obvious than that. "I'm going to send this spam warning to NAL! Oh… woops, my finger slipped on the Send button… five thousand times"

So I replied "No." and got this reply, which made me laugh a bit:

"Guess what, I have a spam program, I could spam you with over 5000 messages, but I'm not going to do it."

After that, that member started behaving.

Being a moderator on YoYo Games is kinda hard work. There's a helluva lot to do. But it does have its funny moments. Hopefully, I've given you all an insight into what sort of thing happens to me now my username has picked up a silver star hitchhiker.

I think I saw a fake "Staff's Pick" on the Cube game, you may want to show him a thing or two about that.

Which is worse? Faking the Staff Pick, or asking for it?

I got lost but what I did understand was pretty funny.

Also, once ENIGMA comes out in its full glory, there won't be a NEED for a YYG.

@Killpill28: Probably asking for it. Fakes are never convincing enough to fool anybody.

These blogs do nothing to restore my faith in humanity. Though I do find them funny.

To bad all the people making the fakes are too stupid to:

1. Take a screenshot of a Yoyo game display picture.

2. Look at the size of the picture.

3. Make a screenshot that size by scaling it down(the same way the site would).

4. Cut out the Staff's Pick from a real game.

5. Paste it onto the scaled down screenshot.

Now the Staff's Pick will not scale down! In theory..

I didn't know you were a mod at YYG. Nice

Notalot 16 years, 4 months ago

@Killpill28: That would be as convincing as you could get it. However, if you look at a staff picked game (example: http://www.yoyogames.com/games/show/32612 ) the Staff Pick banner laps over the left and top of the first screenshot, so although some people would be fooled, most wouldn't.

@ESA: Yup.

I'd never be able to mod YYG. I'd start deleting things that don't please me, and in about 30 minutes, there'd be almost nothing left.
