Nope, my theory revolves around appointing people who have a functional brain!

But for some reason… it went over your head! :)


Your theory is crap!

You would make a terrible moderator anyway. imagine a moderator of a forum posting the stuff you do. Would you still be able to? I doubt it.

You should remain as a forum contributor, just for the entertainment value.

There’s only one thing I would stamp out… trolling, but I wouldn’t change anything else.

Sorry but not good enough! No due process at all, or scrutiny.

Far too easy for you to play judge, jury and executioner.

...there is truth in humour.

(i'd like to vote for you GR) You have not convinced me (for years) that you are not exactly who you say you are.

...given your extreme positions on the topics we explore what makes me doubt that such extremes won't be the same result from you as a mod?

(not that it is a bad thing in a counter-intuitive kind of way; but are you committed truly to Basic Human Rights, our own other than/as much as your own (i.e. Freedom of speech))

I would like to believe that you may have not just the capacity and the inclination, but the patience and respect the job needs unfailingly.

There would have to be, it seems, a mod to moderate you.

("See forum rules", is not an answer; i recall the last time you said it, and we all agreed to respect each other: how did that turn out?)

...none of the great Eleni fro Strombi incident would have happened? Any mod would have banned both of you; think about that. (or was it scripted, a soap opera, to draw crowds, surely you can do better with your swearing; Lordo's is at least educational.)

Personal attacks on individuals or families is also a no no. You can make your case without being abusive, unless in front of you is the toilet brush boy and then it is open season.

Just follow the forum rules. That is what is being asked for

Admin wrote:As I wrote in another thread I would prefer if there is a consensus for the new moderator(s).

So please write at least 5 names, preferably more, among the currently active members whom you believe would be acceptable as moderators. You do not need to write your own name.

Hopefully one or more members will be acceptable by all.

The moderators will mostly deal with approving new members and rejecting spam.


If you appoint a moderator who will have any other power than simply approving new members you will destine your forum to death. We are all extremely biased and cliquish here. I mean look here, the fantasy boy even threatened to abandon the forum, unless one of his favorites gets the "job".

NB. I am not interested anymore, as I don't have the time to even approve new members.

Never heard them called before. If indeed it was applicable it would bambago-villos.

See, you are not suitable for the role.
