A question on how mods are selected.

Gordon

I was made a mod without my knowledge also.

It was a b*tch when I had to fork out the stamp duty and clerical fees but now thankfully I've fully recouped my initial outlay and survive completely from my ban quota.

Asok really doesn't like it being called that in public.

Ha ha Ruu were you playing soggy biscuit with Asok when you drew this "short straw"??

Most biscuits are comparable to clam chowder afterwards. Enjoy your sea food man!

It's high in natural zinc.

No one invited me


I was asked to mod Humour when peachypants stepped down. Ruu's job is in my sights next.

True ! The only problem is that no one can remember who it is

Guess we'll have to have another one then.

Who wants to be a mod? That beer, drugs and midget hooker lifestyle is so over-rated and tiresome. And the wages hardly help, 100k a year might be good for a banker but a boards mod needs more, how else can they afford to keep the 50 cats and photographer.

I missed my ban quota this month and the admins docked me pay.

I'm thinking of banning a load zero post members that haven't been online in years. If the admins find out though, I could get in serious trouble.

The Smods and Cmods have bar quotas for that also btw. If we catch a mod doing that then we get 15 boardzlotys per mod. I have forgotten the boardzloty:euro ratio tho.

Could ye not just modify (puntastic) a no post user to be a mod and then get him to ban other no post wonders and then ban that mod and make a lot of boardzlotys?

P.S The boardzlotys used to be really strong against the euro but has gotten slighty weaker in recent times. Still good conversion rate though.

If you have to spend this much time trying to screw the system you need another job and a new septum for your nose.

Unfortunately not as only Admins can modify users to be mods.

Yeah, the boardzloty really took a drop against the euro when the search was disabled. I'm sure our credits are worth more now that coke and hookers are cheaper due to demand and supply and the new world order lizards shuffling about a bit all the time.

A life would probably help too.

So that's how the admins afford all the coke and hookers.

Well it is worth less than it used to be put as you say with the coke and hookers being so cheap our cost of living has plumetted and therefore we are a lot better off. We must be the only place where inflation is in the minus levels.

Moving this to the Economics forum...

i think 4colours should be unbanned and be mod-ified! Think of his justifications for bannings!!

User banned from some technical forum:

"user explanation banned, bald headed technologist error, bouncer educated spam deletered!"

Nevyn

Sure he should be mod-ified

Snip, snip 4colours, Wha ?

Cuddlesworth

I vote we make a Ruu forum and he can mod it.

Edit:My brain doesn't work well.

I know that every forum works differently so I was wondering how mods are selected here? Is it a democratic process or do the current smods just say "I like the cut of that persons jib, you hired!" ?

Some like living in long grasses, others go into hiding rather than face up to a challenger, whilst most jump off band wagons to hurl abuse from a position of apparent superiority but few can actually prove. There are unfortunately not enough articulate mods (subject specific or otherwise) to compensate for the overinflated delusional egos that persist.

If you think you got what it takes well start reciting " attack the post and not the poster" no matter what. If you run out of ideas well have you tried anal bleaching? Or perhaps trigger happy banning??

Unbelieveable really what some mods do!!

If ever a post needed "backing up", this is it.

Oh come on Sonnenblumen. You've never been treated with anything but respect on Investments & Markets. I've never been treated with anything but respect on Politics, or on Legal Discussion, or most other forums I post on. You're just pissed off that you had a rough ride on Feedback recently. If you're not, if the mods here genuinely upset you, join the other 4 million Irish people who aren't members and don't use the site.

And thats what I give for a reason in reporting your post in another thread in feedback.

Oh and I also said you were a prick which of course is my opinion.

Some folk don't like it when the truth comes back to bite them in the posterior.

Plenty of crackle but we're waiting.
