So what’s been changing you might ask? Where to start...
New programs, new format, new look, new feel – and most importantly, more changes-a-comin’ (as my late-19th century gold-prospecting grandfather used to say). The way things work here, ideas come and go, often implemented until they become fully ingrained in the operation. If not, or if it seems like an idea may not go far enough, boom – its out and something new has come in to replace it.
Us Mods are being trained on the new programs, new policies and new formats that are being developed. Who’d have thought keeping up with the hi-tech Jones’ would require so much learning!? It seems like the longer I work here the more the job changes; we’re all moving along nicely and gaining valuable experience here, but it’s an experience of flux, transition and movement. Solid like a river I guess...
Last Saturday was pretty epic here, as we achieved an all-time record for unique texts in a single night. Everyone was very impressed since we had considerably more texters than we had projected.
As you can probably imagine already, the number of unique users has skyrocketed over the last couple of weeks. It was strange at the beginning, as we were being tested to see if we would let slip with an inappropriate profile pic, username or other submitted content. Long story short, we were prepared for the worst stuff imaginable, but instead got overloaded with people giving away a lot of personal info. Good time to remind all you folks out there – we all want you to participate as much as possible and really get into TXT-TV, just remember that personal info, like your legal name, phone numbers and email addresses are probably best kept to yourself. And don’t try spelling out your phone number, or using a simple letter-to-number substitution code, we already figured that out!
It’s a solid workplace dynamic, at least as far as the moderators are concerned – whatever stresses come up as a result of learning how to do this job as properly as we can are neatly tempered by the outrageous things said late-night at TXT-TV. Working with a group of Mods is straight up high-spirits...

I hope you’re all having as much fun as we are...
