In the interest of preserving YWS, it has become necessary for us mods to tiptoe around the wrath of the powerful, great and mighty Bob who has dwelled in the dungeons underneath the Green Room since the ancient days before the site was established (and in fact, before the Internet was real). However, we have not always managed to please Bob at every turn. Therefore, I will be creating and updating a log in this thread of how many days it has been since the most recent time we made Bob unhappy, and the evil wizarding incident that our mistake inevitably causes!

Hopefully, this inspires us to keep a winning streak and avoid further catastrophe. Hopefully.

I hesitate to ask this in fear of offending Bob (Bob, if you're reading this, I promise this is a compliment of the highest degree) - but is the Duolingo owl just another persona of Bob? A fursona, even?

See this from Nate's wall, for instance:

I think this is an avenue of thought worth pursuing since we already have some idea of how to keep Duo appeased, eg leaving 5 reviews in a row. Perhaps if mods started reviewing like crazy, Bob would be happy.
When you're faced with something you don't understand, I think the most natural thing but also least interesting thing you can be is afraid.

@Seirre good idea! I will try anything to appease Bob, especially after what happened just today… I know we all dread to speak of it.

I'm sensing a bit of resentment

*glare* no more >:c

Kebabs are good! Bob is happy for the comparison! (I’m not sure I can keep recovering this.)

Thought! What if we change our name to boberators instead of moderators as an homage to Bob? It's much catchier, anyways.

@Seirre @Spearmint I love this idea! This will do wonders for our situation. Great thinking, boberator team.

@Snoink I’m like 95% sure Bob doesn’t have a physical form to skewer. If he did, he is so mighty that it would be like a mosquito bite to him at best. Why are you doing this anyway, this is hard enough as is >.>
