So I'm sitting here, in the dark save for the lighting of my laptop, on one hour and thirty minutes of sleep. Why you might ask? Cause college is a pain in the ass. Now, I feel that it isn't 100% my fault that I'm sitting here at almost 6 AM in the morning blogging on TL (But when are my feelings ever right? haha)

Anywho, I tried to crash at midnight and I ended up waking up at around 1:30 AM. Again, why? The sporadic napping might have done something to do with it but that was much earlier in the day. The fact that I woke up to jackasses carrying conversation at normal voice levels (read: suitemates talking and not caring about how loud they are) might have something to do with it.

After raging about as much time as I slept, I found myself unable to sleep. Maybe cause my body wasn't tired. Maybe I had too much on my mind that isn't Chemistry. I dunno. But I ended up wasting about 3-4 hours sitting in bed trying to sleep. I could've easily done other things like watched Starcraft (shame on me for not giving up sooner to not sleep. ). But instead I was left with my thoughts. Those will be for (maybe) another day.

So I finally quit trying to sleep and I of course default to TL. I manage to kill some time and I'm left here. Now the random thought I had stems from the Automated Ban List. How the hell do the moderators do it? @_____@ It boggles my mind on how they can be on top of all the information that comes into TL. Really, this was the whole reason I wanted to write this because I couldn't think of how to search for such a thread in the search box (if such a thread exists) and I couldn't justify making a thread to ask such a question nor could I muster any courage to simply PM a mod and ask how they do it (thinking they have much more important things to do i.e.snipe the 200k OP [but in seriousness, I think they have more important things to do like banning idiots and closing poor threads]).

That's all I've to report. Other than the fact that I have my Chemistry Final in about 2 hours. ... I hate acid-base reactions. -_______-

Not sure what exactly you're asking, but i'm guessing it's how the moderators find all the bad posts/threads and ban the people who deserve it?

Well they get reports from people, they dont check every post, although it isnt that hard to read through when you've got that many people doing it.

I heard they have a little report thingy at the top of the page that glows when someone reported something? Not sure though, just something i heard in the automated ban list thread.

If wishes were horses we'd be eating steak right now.

Yea it was basically on how they figure out where any bad/offensive posts/threads pop up. I just see them go down like nothing. Thanks for the reply.

There are alot of active staff, so spotting bad posts isn't too hard I presume.
Fear is a 4 letter word. Why be afraid?

GL man heard UCSD is in finals week maybe we'll see each other WGF next year :D and i figure the report system has a big influence on the bans and that there are mods for specific sections. that and random mods who just read around and ban whenever

Yes. And it gets bigger when there are more reports. The most I've seen is 9, and it messed up the entire website layout.

Interesting to know. It's one less thing that will keep me up at night (Seriously, I think of random things and that keeps my mind buzzing about.) Now if I can just get through my Bio final... Almost in the clear.
