Can I be a MOD in here!!!???
Please.....
I know the answer, but it doesn\'t hurt to try.
-
I don\'t care who mods, as long as it isn\'t Ace and Giga, and only them. The bias would kill me :( :p
-
I would be a mod by the people and for the people. Some Mod closed a Thread that didn\'t even get 5 minutes of life? No problem. Someone pissing you off? Tell me and i\'ll hire someone to kill them. Tired of all the older mods always picking on you b/c you\'re younger and since most of them agree you have a fear of being banned for disagreening? You won\'t have to fear me.
We need someone to represent the little people!!
-
Only because they don\'t share your views shock?
And Mr. Bling Bling, you\'re right. It doesn\'t hurt to ask.

Exactly. Although, to be fair and look at both sides of things, no one with very strong political views should be a mod unless someone else with differing views it too. If a pair like Ace and ooseven moderated the forum, I\'d be fine.
-
I\'d like to be a mod. I do have past experience at Nintendo Nation and everyone knows that I do respect other people\'s opinions. I may get a bit defensive but I\'m trying to change (seriously, I am :) ). But, the admins don\'t like me so I\'m never gonna be a mod :(
-
don\'t worry about who\'s gonna be mod
-
We should make a guessing game to see who it is. I\'m guessing its probably going to be luckee or Ace.
-
edit
-
And me :D The admins don\'t like me much. But I am trying to turn over a new leaf.
-
luckee really wouldn\'t be a bad choice, actually. He\'s very active in these types of threads, and I\'d think he\'d be a sensible mod.
-
i dunno, he was banned like 3 times for some pretty stupid stuff.
-
I\'m also pretty active but I tend to go overboard but I have been good lately and try and keep my posts intelligent (atleast in these topics ;) )
luckee would be a good mod. He does respect other member\'s opinions. SirMystiq has not be a good choice. IMO, he will close threads taht he doesn\'t agree to or delete or edit posts he doesn\'t like. That\'s what I\'m afraid of.
-
lets not worry about it... we have a very liberal mod at the moment, LUKE, and until mm names the second we should consider ourselves luckee... I mean luckey.
-
I thought LUKE was an admin? I think its just fun to try and have a guessing game :)
-
I would like to as well. But I guess am too old to read that much.:D
-
jiggs, aren\'t you already a mod?
-
nope, a complete list of mods can be forund on the main forum page, and click forum leaders.
-
Thats how I found the Rants and Raves and then the Lurkers were born :) Then Ryu ruined our fun.
-
I take it you didn\'t know about the "blacklist", ya\' know, the list where if someone asks to be m0d, than they never become a m0d, because they are placed on "the list"..:D
Seriously though, I think we have more than enough m0ds to spread out for this forum and others. Infact, dare I say it, we may have *too many*..Yikes!
;)

I would never do that!!
Yeah, I disagree with people most of the time. But I wouln\'t close a thread just because I don\'t agree, im a believer in freedom of speech. I\'ve seen sometimes that right before they close a thread, they either insult you or say something smart.

Are you kidding? There is like only one person in the mod/admin group that likes me. lol
i dunno, he was banned like 3 times for some pretty stupid stuff.-hurricane
You\'re right, you dont know. I was only banned once. Id say petty more than anything..but thats all water under the bridge anyway....

Im actually kinda flattered by the good words shocky, thanks. I do have abit of mod or admin experiance from other forums, but like I mentioned above, I SERIOUSLY doubt I would even be considered.
-

Yeah ok.
-
My vote goes to Shawn9990 ;)
-
And my vote goes to Spencer. :D
How about me though? I\'m not biased. :cool:
-
how about SER... nah, just kidding.
-
shockwaves and luckee,
You hurt me. You really hurt me. ;) Just for the record, I don\'t hate anyone here no matter how twisted and insane their views are on a particular subject. Some of my best friends lean left and we battle it out on a regular basis.
I think the best threads here, in Off Topic, are the ones that are heated and get the blood going. I know there are a some here that wish the political threads would go away but what would that acomplish?
We might disagree on some things, well, a lot of things, but that\'s what makes it interesting.
Ace
-
like i said, the two mods are already picked
i just have to get around to promoting them
-
Just so you know, I am not lobbying for the job.
Ace
-
it\'s done
hope everyone likes me choices
:)
-
Now I have an opportunity to piss off a mod here as well. Life is good. :)
Ace
-
luckee a mod....this just seems weird and scary ;)

Ace
I never meant that Ace. I too enjoy a good arguement. These topics would definitely not be half as fun without you in them :)
-
Who called it was luckee? I think I did. Too lazy to check :) luckee deserves it. But the good thing is that I can still act like an arsehole :D
-
Good call on Luckee becoming a mod. Now he can lock some of ooseven\'s threads.;)
-
You have to be kidding... at least make a conservative mod to balance things out in here. On the other hand thank you for not making Mystiq a mod that would have been the end of this forum. ;)
-
Congratulations Luckee, you\'re very lucky..........
.......
........
ok.... that was dumb...
Anyways why don\'t you ban Giga as your first official act?
-
I don\'t have a problem with luckee being a mod, they should have balanced it though. With either Ace or someone else who is conservative minded. Luke already mods in other forums and doesn\'t participate in political discussions like luckee and some others at the opposite end of the spectrum do.
-
I wouldn\'t worry about it, the opposition doesn\'t have to be modded as an equal.

while i dont post much in the threads, i read em all... thoroughly. just cause i dont go spewing my opinions every chance i get doesnt mean i dont have em.
what do you want? one left wing mod and one right wing mod so we can pick teams and have a big pissing contest in here? it aint gonna happen.
luckee and me are here to keep things nice, thats it.

I\'m pretty conservative myself. But there are things like technology that I\'m liberal about.
-
Well not everyone has to be a bigot and stubborn as a rock.

While luckee is known for his opinions as well as his worthy posts. I find it hard to believe that this forum is going to remain impartial if things start getting heated. Ace would have balanced things out IMHO, but since the going policy is if you have a strong opinion and it tilts to the right you can\'t be a mod, why buck the trend now? I think the biggest contributors would have made good mods, but then again who am I to say? Politics is basically about teams (ie. parties) and ideology so of course there are going to be pissing contests in here. I go away for a week and this happens... oh well... I was surprised to actually see a forum like this get created.
Anyway, best of luck to the mods...
-
best of luck how?
you really have the wrong idea of why this forum was created.
since the going policy is if you have a strong opinion and it tilts to the right you can\'t be a mod, why buck the trend now?
seriously, what the hell are you talking about?
I\'ll never undertsand the fasination some poeple here have with the mods and admins.
I\'ll say it again, Luckee and I are here to make sure people dont get insulting, and to make sure people dont get personal. were NOT mods here because of our views, or because of what anybody thinks of our views.

Like how?? As much as YOU want me to be a dem.....I\'m not..I\'m independent.
I dont see how it isnt balenced, dont insult my or lukes intelligence by stating otherwise.
I dont care what opinion one has or who has it, otherwise you and giga wouldnt be posting here in this forum no? :)
As long as the insults stay away, most is fair game.

You just have to wait and see no?

I think things are quite balanced between luke and myself. Us being mods isnt about locking threads that dont agree with our opinions, it\'s to keep things civil.
but since the going policy is if you have a strong opinion and it tilts to the right you can\'t be a mod, why buck the trend now?
That alone states your bias and why what you want could never happen.
Politics is basically about teams (ie. parties) and ideology so of course there are going to be pissing contests in here.
Yes that is true for the most part for most ppl, but not always the case.
-
This isn\'t a shitting competition, luckee is here to do a job, and he\'ll do it. It\'s not like he has the power to do anything he wants, he was chosen for the job of MODDING this forum. Geez, if it bothers you that much leave.
-
Yes i agree with SyxxKorn. (Figured id make a lots of years ago refrence, no?)
It doesn\'t matter what the mods views are, if they are being extremly biased im sure mm would take care of it, but they will call it like they see it, and thats why they are mods :-P
-
hey, i\'m extremely biased and i run the show here
:P

Then why exactly was luckee picked again? Don\'t say it wasn\'t because of his participation in these sort of threads. Anyway its a dead issue. No further discussion on my part. ;)
-
Cuz as much as you dont want to admit it, I will be fair and wont put up with any bullshit.
If I was that bad, you and ace wouldnt have been posting in here. :D
Our opinions differ almost always, but never mistake our debates and disagreements as personal dislike.
-
I never did take it personally... as far as not posting bullshit I agree with you 100 percent.
-
All the Mod is to do in this forum is to make sure no one says that France Sucks or The Germans are a buch of pusses. We want legitimate discussions here.
Luckee and Luke aren\'t going to be going hog wild deleting posts they don\'t believe in. That wouldn\'t be a very fun forum. Although I do see us adding one more mod here.

Thats the way to go. I\'m independent myself. I hate the party system and would be the downfall of the country. Each candidate doesn\'t need a party to say their views. IMO, the party system has way too much curruption. They should just abolish it. Every candidate will fight for what they believe, not some democratic or republican dip**** that will get them in office. I also think that the rich shouldn\'t be the only ones to become president. The country should give campaign money to the middle or lower classmen who want to run. It just doesn\'t sit right with me that a whole bunch of rich snobs (no offense to anyone rich :) ) run our country and care only about the money and not about American interests.
-
THe president is suppose to be successful. Someone you can really look up to.
Don\'t know a whole lot of lower class people I want to run the country. May be some good lower class people out there, but I don\'t want to put my life in their hands.
-
big log for prez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

But maybe they would make a better president than Bush. I mean, I should add to my other post that anyone with a good background could run but lower class should have the option to run if they want.
-
They have the option to run. Anyone can run. Only problem is you have to have major cash to run. No one is going to give millions of dollars to Josh the lawn boy or Jarod the barber.
-
one day I\'ll be president, you\'ll see!
