There seems to be a perception that being a moderator is a tough job. Actually, it's just reading posts and posting as usual. Occasionally, you deliver a warning, which seems to go unnoticed. More often there is damage control to be done by topic locking. You've all seen what the mods do. Don't tell me your impressed, because then I either have an expensive egress to show you or you're lying. Because the basic qualifications for being a mod are something that everyone should be able to meet (though not everyone does...), it really is mostly a glorified popularity contest with some people rendered ineligible by their obvious lack of impartiality. It's not as though being a mod carries a stipend, any glory, or throngs of men, women, and tentacles who hang around you at all times. Really, since the death of Misc, there's just no fun in moderating anymore... Nostalgia!!!!! —Alorael, who brings you a rumor from a darkened third floor window in Alaska that a certain skribbane addict may be interested in discovering whether two moderator slots can be set to the same account number. Perhaps topics can be even more emphatically locked? Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

I've already conspired with Alorael. He's editing every member's vote to have my name in it. Posts: 455 | Registered: Tuesday, May 17 2005 07:00 |

The very subtle appended editing messages will go entirely unnoticed. —Alorael, who is pretty sure there were better plots in the halcyon days of conspiracies. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

Just change your name to that of the person's post you're editing, or something similar. You'll only have to do enough to get me the win. Posts: 455 | Registered: Tuesday, May 17 2005 07:00 |

Just a tiny reassurance that I am still watching you pretty kittens playing with the woolly balls....

We know that you're watching. We may not all be kittens, but gosh darn it, playing with these balls of wool is just too darn fun. Alec, you're probably right. Either Thuryl, Kel or Dolphin. It's no fun it being as simple and clear cut as that, so I call for as much cheating as possible to occur :P -------------------- Aut Tace Aut Loquere Meliora Silencio Posts: 1487 | Registered: Sunday, February 10 2002 08:00 |

Well, every candidate stands a chance... I'd just put Thuryl's chance higher than your's or anyone else's. :P And just because it'd be fun to mod on yet another forum, to add to my present collection of four modships, I think I'll put myself forward for candidacy, when the topic comes up. :P -------------------- Aut Tace Aut Loquere Meliora Silencio Posts: 1487 | Registered: Sunday, February 10 2002 08:00 |

It might be somewhat fun to be a mod if for no other reason than to have a Blademaster title. However, I don't read all the threads and have history of infrequency on the boards so I would probably not make the best moderator. I would vote for Dolphin. She would most likely be a good mod. -------------------- Take the Personality Test! INTJ 100% 75% 100% 44% Huzzah for the Masterminds! www.Keirsey.com for personality information. The Sloganizer!

Since I have been here since way back when, I'm not about to miss my chance to point out that MM was an utterly appalling mod. Perhaps not the worst, but not even TM was that bad. So when Drakey says that there may be an election, but its results may not be honoured, does he mean that a new mod will be appointed only if a) an old mod steps down and b) nobody absurd gets elected? Or does he just mean that the result has no chance of being acted upon. -------------------- Voice of Reasonable Morality Posts: 961 | Registered: Thursday, June 12 2003 07:00 |

That's BtI, actually. —Alorael, who will note that Kel, Aran, and Thuryl have an edge. No moderators currently have titles shared by anyone else (well, except for BoE posse), and those three meet the requirement. Dolphin, you'd better find a custom title quick!

And Alo's ghost may be forever haunting Drakefyre. No, joking. :P I don't know if I want to moderate, if anyone implied that. On a forum with 3 topics, I do quite fine, but, here, I'm fine with just asking for topics to be locked. We need a thread now where candidates can identify themselves - and people can register, if we need that to happen. -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |
