Good luck with that, I have pretty much the most uninteresting internet personality ever. I feel like you and me turn into our complete opposites on the Internet. But not in an interesting way. Haha pretty much. Perhaps because I always sober post on the interwebs and in real life I am drunk a large chunk of the time and when I am sober I tend to say things I cant take back. That being said, this might be my first drunk post. It isnt because I am sitting at home drunk on a monday, it't because I am in mexico and just played 3 games of drinking giant chess (big chess board where you have to drink when you lose a piece) and came back to change and put sunscreen on. I feel like I need to make this interesting somehow though, since its pretty much my same old shit. You are all very intelligent people with very interesting things to say, but, to quote the great HG, "I am more intelligent than you" and now I am going to go pay lupe 20 pesos to bring me drinks until I pass out on the beach. Hope everone is having fun at home, because I am far to lazy to read through every thread to see what has happened in the past week.

The quote was "I am more clever, intelligent, and interesting than most of you."

I hope it's clear by this point how serious I am (or am not) about this.

We know that you really want to be a moderator, but you're remaining slightly sarcastic about it so you can remain emotionally ambivalent in case of rejection. Incidentally, it's how I usually treat relationships.
Anyway, let's make this happen. HG for mod.

Maybe we'll issue a questionnaire with hypotheticals for the candidates to fill out publicly. Kind of like a debate.

Though if we're going to do it it should be done todayish. We'll be announcing our new mod by Friday at the latest

MOD CANDIDATE QUESTIONNAIRE 1.) What would your top priority be as a mod? Note that I said "priority," singular. What would you be most on top of -- polite introductions to new posters? Closing spam threads? Relocating fights to the fight thread? What issue drives your platform and why? 2.) What are the current mods doing or not doing that needs improvement? 3.) What is your best word suggestion? Please note that "I'm not going to tell you because it'll be funnier if I save it for when I become a mod" is not an answer. 4.) What technical additions would you seek to make to the board? I gave you guys an ignore feature and, okay, went a little overboard with some of my tweaks. What would you like to see changed as far as board functioning goes? 5.) Which troll irritated you the most? Why? At what point would you have campaigned for his ban? 6.) Please read the ProBoards Community Guidelines here. Which of those do you find the most disagreeable? Why? Would you have any problem enforcing any of those guidelines?

1.) Putting an end to petulant dickery before it gets out of control. There will be much petulant dickery in the coming months, and as usual most of it will be aimed at yours truly. Assholes like Delta and squatchcreep won't spend a fraction of the time shitting in the communal punchbowl if they know that I am nominally in charge. By that same token, I will have my own constraints. The board will be a more peaceful, productive place. Also I will participate in the act of banning scalpers with childish glee.
2.) Honestly I think the mods fostered a far too laissez-faire attitude in the case of DeltaSigChi4. That guy should have been out on his ass almost immediately, but instead our mods' egalitarian approach nearly cost us our entire forum. This is indicative of larger issues. I know that banning people from the board is a VERY small part of what being a moderator entails, and that it will almost never be necessary or actually happen, but in some cases it IS necessary and I think those instances need to be identified MUCH sooner than they traditionally have been.
3.) dubstep = cock knock rock
4.) I might finally update the wallpaper and/or color scheme to reflect a more current Sasquatch festival than the one which took place in... what is this, 2006?
5.) Delta. Easy. The creepster at least had a brain. Thirty seconds of googling made it entirely apparent that Delta's one and only intention on this board or any board is to cause trouble and piss people off.
6.) I'm pretty fucking wary of the final stipulation under ProBoard's Content restrictions. I don't trust those knuckleheads to rationally dictate what constitutes bad taste. Bad taste is pretty apparent, and this forum has generally been very good about not allowing it, i.e. pterodactyl porn.
We need a mod that isn't going to pull any punches. There will be three mods, at least, and it's not like I'm going to just be able to do whatever I want. But you all know that I have a tendency to say what we are all thinking, and that will be used for everyone's benefit.
I want this; I deserve this. I ain't gonna be cutesy about it. Delusions of grandeur aside, with the shitshow this place will become by the end of December, Horned Gramma is just what this place needs.

Deserve it? What makes you deserving of it? Or anyone for that matter.
