Are you saying that those who can't get into the mod forum have big asses?

<Urge to kill.... rising....>
Replace "where" with "which," actually.

"Into which," I think, is what you meant. In which case the word "in" must be removed.

Hmm. Actually, several of the mods strike me as rather unstable.

I'd take it if it was offered, but its not going to be, so I'll shut up now and go play with my mod forum at one of the boards I actually do moderate. Hmm, we've been having a bit of a TK problem at Quen, I'll see if they've come back... And smite them if they have. Man, its great being the Paladin Mod.

Seeing how you love him so much you might as well marry him.

Regrettably, we both like women too much.

That isn't a ... gay-like duo, is it?

modship.

I'm a moderator at two forums now (rather, mod at one, and minimod here), and an admin at another three.

Shwee.

(Course, two of those forums get zero traffic, but I'm still admin. ;D). Would love to be a full mod here, though, despite the trolls and whatnot. And no, it's not because I'm power hungry (though not to say I'm NOT), but more because it makes me feel like I contribute more to the board.

When you're a mod at SD.Net, modship at other forums is irrelevant. This is the coolest BBS on the internet, period.

Point out where I denied that. I dare you.

Wrong.

It's a combination of status, ability, superiority and maturity.

Particularly numbers 2 and 4, followed by 1 and 3.

I disagree. I feel in my case, number 3 came first.

Never said by how far. I think it's by a margin of about this much: [-] to be honest. 2/4 are tied, as are 1/3, IMO.

Just keep telling yourself that.

Crap. Guys, sorry. Superiority should be seniority.

Now that's crap. I don't run the board, do I? Then it can't be so, as I am vastly superior to everyone here. *bats eyelashes*

Flirting will get you nowhere except maybe into the highest echelons of power.

Becoming a Mod involves a dark ritual involving a screaming fundie, a screaming Trekkie, and a knife.

Oh, and simply proving you know your shit, can handle your responsibilities, and are a good guy will do it.

Well fuck me with a cucumber, guess I should hand my modship of SoS over to someone with a penis, then.

PS:

Pssst! Ver! Rob actually meant to have those flipped, so that seniority was the most important, not the other way around. If superiority was the pre-requisite, then only the most egotistical could be mods! *g*

*blows kiss to ver*

I can name a better message board, but I won't because there's too many trolls who would leap to ruin it here.

Post by **Colonel Olrik** » 2004-01-27 03:43am

Ehhehehehheheheheh

Who says mods cannot abuse power?? It is so very rewarding to receive PMs from idiots bitching their HOSed threads! Or to close/delete/ridicularize Straha's puny attempts at spam!

Adding to that, we have our own private forum, where we can spam, TGOD and generally raise our post counts as much as our hearts desire [and talk dirty about you peons too].

It's Heaven on Earth, I tell you!

No. I'm utterly serious. This is not the best board on the 'Net. Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Any fool knows that by asking how one becomes a mod (or worse, asking to become a mod themselves), one instantly places themself on the List Of People Never To Become A Moderator.
