Ask hailebop!




Did you ever wake up and wonder when your life became a soap opera? A bizzare mixture between 'Dawson's Creek' and 'Days of our Lives'?



I know I've had that feeling - that it's just all too dramatic and ridiculous, and wouldn't it be nice to go and under a nicely-furnished rock for a while? So, whilst I do not promise or claim to be an expert on how teenage boys minds work or how you can uncode your best friend's baffling behaviour, I'll always attempt to empathise and offer some honest words of advice.



I am 21, with a fairly dysfunctional life as a artsy student type. I've recently graduated with a degree in Philosophy, and am spending time working in the law before returning to university for further study. I still don't know what I want to do with my life, but I like where I am at the moment. I like shoes, bad television, chocolate cheescake and pretty things.



I am very busy at the moment, attempting to fund my life as a postgraduate (that's grad school to the Americans). I do still stop by quite a lot to help out with the admin stuff, but my column is pretty lame and inactive. Boo-hiss. I will however still endeavour to answer any questions that are sent my way, so feel free to send questions to my inbox.





Frequently Asked Questions


Actually, I made them up. But they are questions that I've seen more than once around this site (and, indeed, in the real world), and so have created general responses to them, linked below. It's a little sparse at the moment, but I'll be adding to the list as I think of more questions (and, er, answers to them).

You are no longer a level 2 moderator. And that makes me annoyed and sad. May I have my curiosity blessed with hearing why?


Thank you.

To be honest, I don't entirely know. There was certainly no fallout in which I was suddenly demodded, I was just away at the time when the changeover from spacefem to DangerNerd was made, so I guess it seemed like I was inactive. I believe I also had one very low rating which dragged my average down to under the required 3.8, so when this feature was brought it I was automatically demodded. If I had been around I would have known before hand and worked hard to bring the average up, but because I was away and unaware, it led to me getting demodded. I had to work to get my Level 1 status back after this. I let DangerNerd know that I was still interested in being a L2 if he needed the help, but I haven't been readded as of yet. This isn't because DangerNerd or the others don't like me or don't want me on the moderating team, it's just because for me to be reappointed they'd need to decide that firstly, they needed more L2 moderators and secondly, that I was the best person for the job.

Maybe one day I shall be a L2 again, but at the moment I think there are several good candidates who rate lots and have been around awhile, so I certainly don't expect to automatically selected because I've done it before even if they were looking for more L2's.

But thanks for asking, it's nice that somebody noticed I was gone.
