How exactly do you become a mod? I have been curious about this for a while. -------------------- I can transform into almost anything, though not sanity. My brother tried to type something here. I just erased it. Posts: 1799 | Registered: Sunday, February 4 2007 08:00 |

Okay. I wonder if more mods are going to be added. If so, Dikiyoba for mod! -------------------- I can transform into almost anything, though not sanity. My brother tried to type something here. I just erased it. Posts: 1799 | Registered: Sunday, February 4 2007 08:00 |

The UBB has a hard limit of four mods per section, so it's not always a trivial matter to add a mod. Sometimes it requires gladiatorial combat to determine who shall mod and who shall die. —Alorael, who misses simpler days when gladiating was unnecessary. Once a conspiracy and a few knives in backs were sufficient. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

Aran wasn't merely appointed. There was a rigorous interview process that a couple of folks had to endure, followed by the unilateral decision the we sucked. Aran was then chosen as being most tractable of all the available candidates. He has been a wise decision, for the above reasons. -------------------- WWtNSD?

Aran was chosen by popular acclaim and the fact that he programmed half of those who were then mods himself. Well, at least one, anyway. But to be fair, I'd programmed him, too, so I knew he could be trusted. —Alorael, who denies all allegations of circular causality. He also now notes with amusement that all mods who were removed for malfeasance have been either banned or eaten by the UBB. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

Becoming a mod is a very involved process where a member suddenly gets raised and is now part of the order. Then he or she has to deal with idiots that post here. You wouldn't believe what we have to put up with here. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Drakefyre's not into quilts is he? What a scandal. We should get him into treatment, somehow. I mean, have you ever seen a man snort a quilt? -------------------- We're not doing cool. We're doing pretty. Posts: 3335 | Registered: Thursday, September 4 2003 07:00 |

Alorael's modding was exceptional and took much devious conspiracy from the establishment. Since then there is no pretence of democracy, and it all takes place in the smoke-filled gloom of the Moderator forum. That's why we keep having to replace the Kwilts. That's also where the sofa and the sandwiches are kept now... -------------------- I am a mater of time and how . Deep down, you know you should have voted for Alcritas!

Hey, there were a few elections after mine. They just lacked the acrimonious Florida 2000-style ending. Still, there have been some good smoky back rooms. Logo vs. Lady J? Fun times fondly remembered! —Alorael, who feels he should point out that his modding was not modding done to him but rather modding done by him.

No, the sign would only become negative if Alorael were demodding. If he's modding, it remains positive. If modding is done to him, it's also positive.
