A fit of irrational rage happened. I was able to see through the red fog just enough to realize I needed to enter a cool down session of several days before posting again to avoid breaking rules and/or abusing my power. I initially tried to ban myself to accomplish this but turns out you can't ban admins or moderators and I needed to be an admin to access the banhammer so I turned to Caprizant. The ban has expired and I'm calm enough to be here again, though I do not want to discuss what set me off.

On the positive side, I got to spend plenty of time with my 'Mons and was able to come up with a new theme :D

AH WARNED YA! POWER BRINGS ANGER AND RAGE!I WARNED YOU I DID!

Only the rage wasn't brought on by the power in any way, shape, or form and if it hadn't been for the power, I would probably be still banned for something much more serious :I

why isn't lief a mod? I mean, he DOES have the second highest post count on ht PPS, right behind truthseeker.

by **Caprizant** 15th February 2014, 10:07 pm

Post count # modship, plus I don't think he said he wanted to when I asked who wanted to try it out. Besides, we don't need too many mods really. Their main duties are just upkeep.

by **Truthseeker4449** 15th February 2014, 10:28 pm

And before you ask, post count =/= adminship either. I have the position because Caprizant needed someone to manage the forum when he isn't here/able to do it himself, and so he held a staff drive.

Because that's a lot of technical stuff that I don't want to deal with.

...although I could get behind it, if only so I could edit old posts in the Let's Play forum.

Oh yes, and the fact that I have an anger point similar to that of a Primeape.

by **Truthseeker4449** 16th February 2014, 2:00 pm

You're not that touchy.

by Lief Katano 16th February 2014, 2:01 pm

Okay, maybe not that touchy, but I can get provoked kind of easily, I think. And I have a hard-ish time letting go of my anger.

What does the current greeting look like?

Our Horrible Welcome Message wrote:Welcome to the Planetary Pit Stop! We hope you enjoy it here! You may ask yourself, 'What is this place?' Well, simply put, it's a place to have fun posting about different things. There's a place for almost any topic you can think of! We also have a place to post when you're feeling bad/sad/mad about something. Unlike most forums, we have no infraction system! ~~But we do have banhammers tucked away in the closet for emergency use.~~ So please have fun! You can start by posting in our welcome thread. You can also post your favorite songs, anime, books, or even your own Let's Plays! If you can't find a thread fitting what you want to post about, then please feel free to make it!

Okay, I have an idea that may or may not be good:

Welcome to The Planetary Pit Stop! My name is jokool, and I'm a Moderator here!

If you're wondering what The Planetary Pit Stop is, it's a place where you can talk about almost anything, share what you like, and, most of all, have fun!

There's a lot of different topics that you can post in, but I recommend starting here! This is probably the best place to introduce yourself and get to know everyone here!

If you have any questions about the forum, please feel free to send me a PM with your questions, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Thank you for joining, and I hope you have an awesome time here!

Like I said, not sure if it's a good idea, or if someone else would prefer to be the one in the message, but I felt like something more personal would be more welcoming.

by **Caprizant** 16th February 2014, 5:40 pm

I have a specific idea in mind for what I'm gonna do with the greeting, so I'm not really taking suggestions, though if something in there works I'll try to work it in.

EDIT: Also, I think the greetings automatically get sent out by the Admin and that cannot be changed, so we can't really personalize it like you did :B

by Guest 16th February 2014, 5:45 pm

Awww...

Well, I thought it might be a good idea.

by **Truthseeker4449** 16th February 2014, 5:51 pm

*is trying to remember if there's some HTML commands that will personalize the message with the user's name*
