Yeah, so life has managed to delay our December Update until February. Things happen. The only change to what's in it is that I wrote up a simple plugin to syndicate content to Twitter, which is very much preferable to our current situation since we're pushing stories from a hacky little script on my desktop at the moment and I'd like to be able to boot Windows 7 for some vidya once in a while.

Downtime should be five minutes or less starting around 2:00AM UTC (an hour and forty minutes from now).

    Thank you for tweeting the link. It's hard to make links, not everyone can do it. I can. Very important, if we didn't have links we wouldn't have an Internet!

    I read my Messages, the Message came about moderation. So much terrible moderation, very unfair. And the Message says about the tweet I'm replying to, that it has been moderated Troll (-1). Which, I'm not surprised, I write something nice, I say a nice compliment to somebody, along come our moderators and say, "oh look, it's a tweet from realDonaldTrump, Troll (-1)!" But I look at the tweet, where's the moderation? There's no moderation. Maybe there's moderation now, I get so much of it. Too much. Why is it called moderation, when there's so much of it? But when I start to reply, there's nothing.

      If you think you are replying to a tweet here... ummmm... you need more help than I can offer.

        Very simple, I look at my Messages, a Message says my tweet "has been moderated Troll (-1)". With the link to tweet #632842. I look, it's not moderated Troll. It's not moderated anything.

          Ah, yeah, you got mod-bombed and every moderation in the bombing was reversed. We do that not by deleting the moderation or upmodding the comment but by setting a disable flag on that moderation. So, yes, you were moderated but no, it's not taking effect.

          The same thing happened with my tweet #632865. I get the Message, it "has been moderated Troll (-1). It is currently scored Troll (0)." I go to look, it doesn't say Troll, it doesn't say anything.

          Another thing. So many down moderations in that Message, it says I got 19 down and 11 up. Not all of them change the Karma -- there was one Overrated and one Underrated -- but you'd think maybe, probably, I lost some Karma there, right? Probably I lost 8 Karma, you'd think, right? I lost a little bit, but it all came back. It totally came back. Like maybe a very crooked administrator did me a favor and canceled some of those down moderations. A lot of people (Dems) will say, "oh, Russia, Russia, Russia." I don't know that it was Russia. It could be Russia. Or it could be someone sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds.
