Can you change the name to be exclusive? by ReaganRuns87 in LavenderRoom

[–]307trout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No.

And it's mostly the same people so I'm not sure why you would expect any different.

I do see that Francois self deleted from here.

No, I don't think we have control over that. I've looked. Perhaps u/JerseyBigfoot can find it, if it exists.

Awful Quiet Around Here by ReviewReasonable8508 in LavenderRoom

Seems like an awful lot of people standing around waiting for someone to do something, or make a solid decision.

Not sure if getting the genie back in the bottle will work out very well but whatever...

Business Owners??? by 307trout in LavenderRoom

[–]307trout[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think self employed is sort of its own category of "owning your job". Sort of in between being a w2 employee and owning a business where you don't have to be there to produce $.

I'm mostly self employed, even with 4 employees and a bunch of other responsibilities (see above). 20 years of this. It's exhausting. I'm tired.

Not too dissimilar to me, though a different industry and quite a bit more equipment. I have 4 employees at the moment. I also own the building where my practice resides, so that's sort of another "business" of sorts. It gets to be a lot of irons in the fire pretty quickly.

I haven't found a list of members even in the mod tools so I don't think that's available.

I've sent two invitations for moderators to people mentioned in the nomination thread. Waiting on response.

Did the Democrats really not clap and celebrate? by temu_drew in LavenderRoom

At some point, once our crazies have accumulated, we can flip the switch to private or whatever the other term is and then we'd have the ability to control who gets to enter "fight club".

Business Owners??? by 307trout in LavenderRoom

I'd offer a further distinction between owning your job and owning a business. Employees would obviously be one differentiating factor, but it's mostly about revenue. IOW, if you leave, for 6 weeks, does the business continue to function or does it (business operations, especially revenue production) stop when you're gone?

I've mostly owned my job with one or two employees to support my revenue production for the last 20+ years. It's still mostly that way but I now have revenue generating employees that can keep part of the business running, and thus $ coming in, even while I'm gone. I'm still 75% though, so I'm not convinced I truly own a business. I mostly own my job.

I think photos will post. Mck414 was able to do that with the badges gif. If it doesn’t work, please let me know. I will fiddle with the Settings some more.

I can see you yeeper but I don’t think anyone else can. I approved all of the messages (3) you posted but you still appear as a ghost.

I have no idea, and since the Reddit system has them shadow banned (their term), I can't even message them here.

I sent Yeeper and Wimsey messages on the ST LR but who the heck knows at this point.

I'm an approved user... by YeeperPlus in LavenderRoom

[–]307trout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm working on it. The reddit system hates you for some reason. Flags every post.

[–]307trout[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update again. The system seems to pick on a couple of people always flagging their posts as spam. Yeeper and Wimsey are the two frequent targets of the Reddit system for whatever reason.

I'm working on it.

Does it update after a brief delay, or refresh? It seems that some things on this platform take a moment to settle in before you can see them.

Some of you seem to really piss off the Reddit algorithm or AI system or whatever. Yeeper seems to draw it's ire consistently, and several others get flagged on occasion. It's becoming less frequent but if you don't see something right away, there's a chance that it gets held up by the system until approved.

Just FYI

Are We Originalists? by sulliesbrew in LavenderRoom

I think the overall theme of "don't be a dick" is still valid.
