I'm not very good at that. :?
better than many
scientstphilosophertheist, how come you're not on the list ? have you counted yourself out ?
Cool...thanks for the nomination. I'd do it...and use humor as my sword.
That's a good list. Hard to decide... but I voted for Mac. I think he's got the right attitude for the job.
Of course, I would be okay with any of the list as a mod.
Cheers
I think the moderator job would be kind of like being a janitor or garbage collector, except without the money or the prestige. Yeah, I know, it's just sour grapes because I'm losing.
I don't think I'd do such a good job moderating the <religion and psuedoscience> forum; I'd probably delete every post.
pseudoscience isn't too bad - religion is a different kettle of fish though
It's not the winning that counts, it's the taking part....... I know, a complete load of bollocks. At least you made it onto the list.I think the moderator job would be kind of like being a janitor or garbage collector, except without the money or the prestige. Yeah, I know, it's just sour grapes because I'm losing.
Here in Dallas, we just finished a nasty run-off election for mayor, that was filled with below-the-belt attack ads. So in the spirit of that!....I officially launch my attack ad campaign against my running mates. :-D
Just as real political attack ads should not be believed by anyone, neither should anyone believe these. :-D
marnixR:
(Deep ominous announcer voice): Are you thinking about voting for marnixR? ....because marnixR hates puppies (show picture of a really cute puppy) ...that's right HATES PUPPIES!....really...really hates puppies. Do you love puppies?...I know I sure do. So vote for Mac....'cause he loves puppies.
Harold14370:
(Again with the Deep ominous announcer voice) Harold14370 is running for moderator....but in the 4th grade, he was caught with a cheat sheet for his social studies test in his pocket. How can you possibly trust someone to hold up the integrity of the rules of the board, from someone so willing to bend the rules himself. So vote for Mac....he never got caught cheating.
more to come
<political satire...detected>
MacGyver, that's a lie. We didn't even have social studies back in those days. It was arithmetic, and how did you find out about that?
I wasn't going to mention it but now that the mudslinging has started.... All of my opponents are suspected to be members of the communist party.
I can dig up some dirt for anybody who's willing to pay. :wink:
William is an ex-KGB agent. He is currently working as a spy in the US, obtaining information for Uruguay.
marnixR is from Belgium. Need i say anymore ?
not to forget that he hates puppies because cute puppies grow into nasty dogs who foul your carpet ruin your furniture chase the postman crap in the neighbour's garden break the fence cost an arm and a leg
oops, i'd better go and lie down for a while ...
PS it's a lie that i come from belgium - i come from bruges, which just happens to be situated in belgium through no fault of its own
(fake attack ads cont.)
Ophiolite:
This ad was originally going to be pulled, since O really isn't in the race, but since we already paid for the ad time...
(Announcer): Ophiolite.....the ONLY person who has ever been officially and permanently banned from Michael Jackson's Neverland ranch. That's right...banned from Neverland. If an essentric, homosexual pedophile doesn't want anything to do with him....why should we?...why should we. Vote for Mac!....he's welcome at the Neverland Ranch.
MitchellMckain:
(Announcer): Even though MitchellMckain and Macgyver share the same first name......these are two totally different kind of Mitch's. Because...MitchellMckain is a mime. That's right...a black and white wearing, no-talkin, invisible rope climbing mime. Worst of all, he's a member of an International organized mime syndicate....where he holds the rank of Mime under-boss. He has twarted numerous investigations from the Organized Mime Unit of the FBI and Interpol. How can we possible trust the board to some who can't even find his way out of an invisible box? Vote for Mac...he's tough on mimes.
i'll have you know that i'm a card-carrying member of the Apolitical Party !

I'm curious as to how you came up with that list.
Ha... why is it I always thought Ophiolite was a mod :?; weird.
June 20th, 2007, 06:01 PM
We had a Moderator Nominations threadI'm curious as to how you came up with that list.
He was an admin, or so I found from this thread.[/url]

I was a mod. I withdrew for private reasons.
whatever happened to megabrain?
I believe Mega is in bad health at the moment.
damnI believe Mega is in bad health at the moment.
When does voting end?
What if we had a "vote for ban" system? then we would only need one moderator.
And a "vote for edit" button.
democrasy doesn't work and besides, Megabrain is on the road to recovery
But LOL, so the post that needs to be edited and users that needs to be banned is sorted for the moderator and put in an edit list.democrasy doesn't work and besides, Megabrain is on the road to recovery
It could be enabled with a certain forum rank.
Don't try to fix what aint broken.But LOL, so the post that needs to be edited and users that needs to be banned is sorted for the moderator and put in an edit list.democrasy doesn't work and besides, Megabrain is on the road to recovery
It could be enabled with a certain forum rank.
As to the rank, all it takes is for one moron to gain that rank and start screwing around with the forum. It would take days for that single moderater to fix it
Actually, all that would be needed is that one person only may cast one vote a day, and only one vote can be casted on each reply.
All I can say is if it aint broke, don't fix it. The current system works just fine, all we need is a moderater that is a little more active.
We need more people, people want power, give power and you shall have people.
More people? I am happy with the present number of people
What about those who fall behind, they too need redemption.More people? I am happy with the present number of people
If I was the moderator I'd have had that silly spam deleted an hour ago. Vote for Harold. Campaign slogan: "Internet Addict, Always On Line."
OH for gods sake if you can't decide make me a moderater and I will clean up the forum
Oi, I just woke up!
asides from you vs teacher and the spam attack by ATOMICPSYCHO, which were both cleaned up, i can't say the forum actually needs cleaning up. now that some names i havn't seen in a while have poped up here and there.
Hi Guys,
It seems I'm currently in the lead.But believe me, I would need help. It might be a good idea to have a few others. Something to think about.
I would guess ATOMICPSYCHO (and all other incarnations) and SHOOPERWHOOPER were one and the same. Having a few more mods might help to curtail future "WHOOPERS."
I think you all should seriously consider MacGyver. Nothing against any other nominees, but I've known Mac for a while now and he's been here for about a year, so I don't think he's leaving soon.
"teacher" (with a lower-case "t" as he insisted)... I would venture a guess that he wasn't really a teacher. Thank goodness Skinwalker stepped in.
Cheers,
william
BTW, I'm almost always here, but yesterday I wasn't near my usual computer and I popped in when ATOMICPSYCHO was in the midst of "going psycho." As chance would have it though, I popped in on a dial up network, so even if I was a mod, I would have had a hard time cleaning up the place. :x
you mean you're volunteering for the position of cleaning lady ?
hm, I can do anyjob, I enjoy pretty much anything I do and if i do dislike it even the slightest I can wander into my daydream world whilst still getting the job done (I done cleaning stuff before. You ever cleaned a stables?)you mean you're volunteering for the position of cleaning lady ?
i've done cleaning in army barracks - does that count as stables ?
probably, but the stench of ammonia, It's horrible all the black gung.
So is William the new moderator then?
not as far as i'm aware, looks like ophi stepped into the breach (pro tem ?)
Democracy at work eh..... Do you know if it's temporary until MB comes back or until someone on the list is appointed ?
i don't know - suggest you ask the man himself ?
+ where does it say in the forum rules that selection of moderators needs to be a democratic process - if i was the main bod of a forum i'd make sure i'd get the person i was happy with, not necessarily the same as the one who gets the most votes
(btw, i didn't vote for ophiolite because he said he wasn't interested, otherwise i would have - presumably HomoUniversalis thought he was the best man for the job anyway)
Same here. I just presumed that as we were voting for a new moderator (hence the thread) that was the general idea.
I definitely fear the future of this forum when I see william getting voted for at all. As I recall, his posts consisted of nothing but flaming ad-hominems at me while I was attempting a discussion.
Moderator material he does not make. He is too prone to anger, and I'm certain injustice would follow.
The best choice is Ophiolite. During his moderation, I noticed not one unfair action. Not to mention he has better personal control than I do (A good moderator I do not make), and definitely moreso than william.
On the other hand, Mitch might make a good moderator. Though I believe at one point he expressed his disdain for such a position. Out of all on the list, those two are the only applicable ones. The others would be nothing but trouble.
Side Note: MacGyver1968 might be okay, but I'd still prefer the stability of Ophiolite, or the experience of Mitch. But "new blood" works too.
Hey. I resemble that remark.
how do you know my middle name is trouble ?
I notice a common factor here.... :P
common as in shared, or common as in common people ?
Little of column A, little of column B.
Back only a few days and already on the attack...? (What took you so long?)
Cheers
Call it paying back all the times you childishly threw layer after layer of nothing but ad-hom posts because I was regulating your ad-hom posts.
Gentlemen, lets keep it civilised on all counts. I know there is some history here, but lets leave history for the history forum and restrict it to whether the yanks knew in advance that Pearl Harbour would be bombed.
i suppose all the jews left pearl harbour prior to the attack, just like they did with the twin towers ? or so rumour has it ?
it would make a nice conspiracy theory anyway
PS ophiolite, i notice that your ratings in the poll have risen - does that mean you're stuck with the moderator's job ?
For all intents and purposes, lets hope he does get the moderating job.
As for leaving history behind me, we'll see if William still likes to terrorize unsuspecting victims first. 8)
Please don't ruin Ophiolite's life by making him a moderator!
edit:
oh wait. he already is.
Not at all. I can throw a convincing tantrum at any time and be banned permanently from the internet. :wink:
Oph: why so opposed to moderation? I'd gladly see you administrator. I noticed no flaws in your decision making or handling of other people.
wow, that's some ambition you got, being banned from the whole of the internet !
In case anyone was wondering, this is the "discussion" which incited Jeremy's hatred of me.
By the way... he was a moderator at that time....
Cheers
Strange, I actually voted for william :P
MacGyver1968 For President..
Lets face it, anyone who can outrun Police in Texas for 5 hours in an empty Greyhound bus destroying 31 patrol cars and ripping up 200 yards of chain link fence (as seen on 'The world's wackiest police videos') deserves it.
Thanks MB...good to see you....and it was 32 patrol cars. :-D
What the hell did you do to get the fuzz to come after you for 5 hours? :-D
It's a long story...but it had to do with a science experiment gone bad...way bad. Somebody mentioned that we needed a large movable mass... and I thought "greyhound bus"...I wasn't going to keep it long...but before you know it, there were sirens and all this shit....and I know I shouldn't have taken those 15 hits of PCP....next thing you know..I'm hanging upside-down by the seat belt.
It was a proud moment of science.

:-D I guess what we all learn from you is never take PCP and do a science experiment
no matter how tempting
That would totally make a great public service announcement for tv....you know the ones...where they get a tv actor to tell us how to keep our shit together. I think Bill Nye "the science guy" would be the perfect choice....then they flash the "NBC cares" logo.
I never do things by half since my grandfather was a quartermaster.wow, that's some ambition you got, being banned from the whole of the internet !
