Chapter 14: Don't Talk To Me X Interaction X Monologue O (3)

Im really troubled

I thought more seriously than I ever had before.

What should my nickname be

While the decision to set a permanent nickname was certain, the problem lay in which one to choose.

It had to be anonymous to avoid identifying me. Yet, it should hint at some identity, ideally with wit and humor, and given the nature of the gallery, a touch of vulgarity seemed appropriate.

EmperorontheBed thats a bit much.

That was the first nickname that sprang to mind, but it was too arrogant for someone who had only had sex once.

Whats a good one

SourCreamPie the nickname itself screamed a lack of originality and was clich.

BabySeedFarmer Its not bad but still lacks the necessary vulgarity.

BodyOdorSoupResearch Society It barely met the vulgarity threshold but felt forced. The sincerity was missing.

[Aaaaah!! Now they're spamming tactical nukes, too!!!][6]

[Seriously, I want to leave this gallery; blocking them doesn't end it][0]

[Damn it!! How many are spamming!!! Stop it!!!][3]

I wanted to take my time choosing a nickname, but the increasingly serious state of the gallery left no room for delay.

Ah, what should I do

As I pondered which nickname would express my uniqueness without going too far

This is it!

The perfect nickname flashed through my mind.

[Permanent Nickname Created!]

[Gallery administrator privileges expanded!]

With the notification, I logged in using my new permanent nickname and immediately posted my first message.

[Author: EightTimesaDay]=[Ian]

[Hi, I'm new to the gallery.][0]

Nice to meet you.

For the first 30 seconds after posting, there were no comments; my post got buried in the flood of spam.

But then

ChildhoodFriendAssault: What's this? Why is your tag different?

(76.812): Seriously, what is it?? First time seeing this??

BabyNapmi: Interesting, eung! BabyNapmi wants it too, eung!

As soon as one comment appeared, the number inside [@] quickly increased.

Over the past few days, I noticed that there was a significant difference in views depending on whether a post had comments or not.

Is it because people come to see the comments rather than the post?

EightTimesaDay: I think it's because I'm the gallery administrator. I didn't know either, but the tag shape is different.

By tag, I meant the next to the nickname.

Mine is though.

While others in the gallery had a grey color, mine was yellow.

(112.39): Administrator? There was an administrator in the gallery? What have you been doing until now?

ChildhoodFriendAssault: That just shows how messed up the gallery is today~

(112.39): True, today's gallery is the worst since 'that time'; I'm thinking of leaving.

ChildhoodFriendAssault: Typical of those who say thisthey can never leave the gallery.

(53.71): What's 'that time'?

TenantFarmerFan: Ah... you don't know... about 'that time' in the gallery...

(53.71): Old-timers again telling stories only they know.

JustSayNiceThings: A newbie who doesn't know 'that time' is talking.

EightTimesaDay: Everyone, please don't fight.

JustSayNiceThings: Hey, administrator, don't be rude and use honorifics.

EightTimesaDay: Ok, let's not fight.

JustSayNiceThings: The hell, who are you to use informal language with me?

ChildhoodFriendAssault: This guy doesn't back down even to the admin, just being himself.

(76.812): But what can you actually do as an admin? Is having a different badge all there is?

Finally, a sensible question surfaced after a long thread of nonsensical comments.

-Gallery block and unblock functions have been activated.

-Post deletion, notice creation, and removing concept posts functions have been activated.

-You can now 'limitedly' see the real names of users who have posted in the gallery!

EightTimesaDay: I can block and unblock the gallery, write notices, and remove concept posts. Not much else.

I knew I shouldnt mention that real names were visible in a gallery where anonymity was crucial, so I quickly changed the subject.

FlameSandwich: What's a gallery block? Is it different from regular blocking?

EightTimesaDay: Yes, regular blocking just hides them from my view, but gallery blocking seems to prevent them from using the gallery entirely.

FlameSandwich: What?? So, if you block someone, they can't post in the gallery at all?

EightTimesaDay: I haven't tried it yet, but that seems to be the case.

FlameSandwich: Lol, so we finally have a 'Tactical Nuke Disposal Unit'...

Intrigued by the term I didnt recognize, I asked for clarification.

EightTimesaDay: What's a Tactical Nuke Disposal Unit?

Flame Sandwich: You're an admin, and you know less than me, lol

EightTimesaDay: Haha, I may be an admin, but I'm still new to the gallery. There's a lot I have yet to learn.

FlameSandwich: Up until now, if a post received enough downvotes, the gallery would automatically block it.

FlameSandwich: People who click on tactical nukes even though they know they are hostages just to rack up downvotes for automatic blocking are called the Disposal Unit.

EightTimesaDay: It sounds like a tough job. But what exactly are tactical nukes? Are they hate images? Why do people post them in the gallery?

(74.812): A reason? Do they need one? Some people just want to see the gallery burn. I call that madness.

.

I didnt feel inclined to engage with that comment and decided to ignore it, moving on to check other responses.

TenantFarmerFan: But why is your nickname EightTimesaDay? Do you really masturbate that often?

EightTimesaDay: Yeah. Usually, it's around 8 times. It has gone up to 20 on occasion.

It was an exaggeration, but a bit of boasting seemed harmless enough.

TenantFarmerFan: Damn, the admin's stamina is off the charts...

(177.96): Seriously? How can anyone manage it 8 times? Lol

(511.462): Honestly, doing it just four times a day is crazy. Twenty times is complete nonsense.

However, it seemed the gallery users were skeptical.

Still, I managed to do it five times today. But how can I prove that?

I had never reached twenty times, but I did go up to sixteen, and five times a day was my averagesometimes eight when I was bored.

(114.511): Damn it!!! Whether it's eight or twenty times, first handle the spamming crap!! At this rate, the gallery will collapse!!!

Perhaps I was reveling too much in the attention.

Upon seeing the desperate comment, I finally took action as an administrator.

Blocking was easy.

I just had to click on the nickname, press the [Block] button, and set the duration.

The blocking duration could be set anywhere from a minimum of one minute to a maximum of 300 years.

[Author: EightTimesaDay]=[Ian]

[But for how long should I block them?]

From one minute to 300 years?

(177.96): Ah! Stop asking about every trivial thing and just manage. Do whatever you want.

EightTimesaDay: Ok

Alright, lets do this.

I cracked my wrists and embarked on my first task as an administrator.

Block

Block

Block

With each spammer I blocked, the onslaught of spam posts dwindled, and the gallery quickly stabilized.

And the more I blocked, the more exhilarating the sensation became, accelerating my pace.

Block

Block

Block Block Block

Block Block Block Block Block Block

!!

Suddenly, I snapped back to reality and realized I was frantically waving my right hand in the air.

Is this power?

My hand quivered slightly.

Although I held nothing, it felt as though I wielded a cold, heavy sword.

Since Evelyn always overshadowed me, the taste of power at the helm was intoxicating.

Dangerous

Without limits, this power, confined to the gallery, could turn into an addiction.

[Author: EightTimesaDay]

[I've blocked all the spammers for the time being ]

And I'll only block hate images and spam from now on

I won't suddenly block for 300 years, but depending on the severity, I might start with a day or maybe three for worse cases.

TenantFarmerFan: But are teasing images okay? (link)

(Blonde hair covering eyes with black bars lol.jpg)

EightTimesaDay: Yeah, even 10 times worse than that is fine.

TenantFarmerFan: Oh~ Love you~

(137.38): Hey, let's block the three villains for 300 years .

(74.812): Lol, those Elves thought they were safe. Now, they can't use the gallery for life .

JustSayNiceThings: Why the hell am I suddenly mentioned?

(74.812): I just said, 'Those Elves,' why are you getting angry? Are you one of them? .

(177.96): If hate images are blockable, block Sacred Power Container, too. They post hate images consistently.

EightTimesaDay: Can't do that.

(177.96): Why not?

EightTimesaDay: Because they're not hate images.

(177.96): Not? What's your standard, then?

EightTimesaDay: Up to the admin's discretion.

TenantFarmerFan: Ah... can't argue with the admin's discretion...

(177.96): Admin loves tactical nukes lol.

EightTimesaDay: You're blocked for 15 minutes.


[Author: Whoopee] = [Penelophil Depodil]

[Admin, comments not blocked from spamming?][4]

(Excuse me, why is it suddenly disappearing? Answer me. Don't run away. Answer me.jpg)

Can't you just block it? It's annoying to keep getting spammed even when you ignore it.

EightTimesaDay: Yeah, for now, I won't block comment spam; I'll moderate just post spam.

Whoopee: So it's okay if I spam hundreds of comments on your posts?

EightTimesaDay: Yeah, try it if you want a 300-year block.

Whoopee: Damn, totalitarian rule is crazy .

EveryoneEventuallyDiesAlone: Delete post, delete post, delete post...

Truthfully, if someone other than Estelle had posted those comments, I might have blocked them.

However, as a classmate, I wanted to check on Estelles seemingly unstable state through the gallery.

A bit of abuse of power should be fine.

With that thought in mind, I looked outside to find that it was already dark.

Feels like Ive done nothing, yet time flies.

If I kept this up, I would end up skipping meals and stay on the gallery, so I left my last post for the day.

[Author: EightTimesaDay]=[Ian]

[Anyway, please don't treat me special just because I'm the admin]

I'll be active as a regular gallery user. And I won't interfere as long as you abide by the rules

Gonna go eat now, bye.

JustSayNiceThings: Wow, chilling. How come the admin talks just like the Elf elders lol? 'As long as you abide by the rules'

PoporingSpyria: But doesn't the term 'admin' sound off? Am I the only one uncomfortable?

JustSayNiceThings: Ah, here comes another complainer. What's not uncomfortable for you?

PoporingSpyria: I'm just saying it sounds off; why start a fight?

As the gallery buzzed with the sudden appearance of an admin

Ahaha! Ahahahahaha! Ahahahahah!!

Someone in a dark room, watching over the gallery, let out a tearing laugh.
