What was the point of this thread? Nothing mentionable has been moderated yet. What is there to be happy about?

Proper use of the Flame Tag made moderators barely necessary anyway.


To satiate my ever-hungry appetite for attention.

Both of which went against the Moderator Madness rule.

Flame threads are supposed to be exempt from all rules. There is no mention of Moderator Madness being an exemption to Flame thread stipulations.

I know mods have the power. Did you go against the Mad Moderator rule? The one that specifically states that users will be banned if they go against that rule?

I agree with Trent: no overuse of power, but the "I could blacklist you if I wanted to" thing is getting irritating


otherwise, no problems!

I'll be honest: I think you'd make a really, really bad mod. If you're anything more than a puppet mod, I'm kind of worried. I have nothing against you as a person, but you as a mod scares me for a few reasons:

1. Mods should be, on the whole, neutral. Drysart never held grudges or misused his power. If you broke a rule, you got banned. If you broke a rule again, well, you were in trouble. He was very fair and kept his modding seperate from his posting. You, on the other hand, immediately blacklisted somebody on the mere suspicion that they were Somthor.

2. Using your powers in strongarm tactics. I wasn't afraid to disagree with Drysart because I knew he wouldn't use his powers against me just because I disagreed with him (if that were the case, Maradon would be permabanned by now). When people disagree with you, indirect threats of mod action start pouring in. (you may not come out and say it, but it's pretty obvious.)

3. Your disposition is just terrible for a mod position. You're not what I would call a "judge," though you are judgemental.

These all go hand-in-hand, obviously.
And yes, I know Drysart isn't "gone," but the fact that he's left you as a mod for so long is strange if he were just joking around.

You're a good guy, but I can't see you as a mod...sorry.

I've been subject to two Drysart bannings, and I fully deserved each one. He's human and he makes mistakes but he's been very impartial on these boards, for the most part. I agree that some areas he could do a little "better" in, though.

Way back when, I was removed as a moderator because of a lie (later proven as a lie) from his favored chick at the time. He constantly had penis ops in the chat channel. He was willing to let others he put in power misuse their authority because someone called them a name.

He's a nice and fun guy, but believe me, he's not impartial.

I'm quite happy with you as a mod. This forum had been drained of life, and everyone angsting over that seems to have given it some life back. That and the happycat banner.

I stopped relying exclusively on EC for my forum entertainment, and now mostly look to GBS and SH/SC for that, so I don't really care. I voted the first option.

You really should learn when not to speak of things you know nothing about.

As anyone who was here when I was a mod can tell you, I didn't put a foot out of bounds. I allowed more than I should have in the interest of being fair.

And any moderation Deth ever did was his own beliefs, just as anything he says is his own beliefs. The circumstances leading to his removal resulted from an unfortunate situation where he was moderating at the same time I was posting in the thread.

You dislike anything I said against you because you don't like treating people like human beings, which is all I ever encouraged for anyone. You'd rather grind them to a pulp under your heel, to raise the abysmal self-esteem you possess and give yourself a bloated opinion of your own self-worth.

Doesn't change the fact that you *did* put people in power simply because they messed around with you, or were your flavor of the week.

Parcelan, he was expressly forbidden from any moderation in any thread I participated in. I suggest you go back and look at the threads you're alluding to, because he violated that edict ONE time, and it was on accident as I explained.

And I don't mean me.

If you want to claim I ever abused the trust you put in me, or picked on anyone for a personal reason and used my modship to do it, then you're lying, plain and simple. I tried to uphold the faith I thought you had in me. Finding out later that that faith only came from you liking me hurt. So did someone I considered a friend believing a lie about something I would never do.

But...it's the past. And not really something I want to explore again for the thousandth time.

What the fuck is the point of this? I voted for option 3 and have nothing more to say. I don't notice you doing anything more than occasionally waving it around (like your obviously gigantic penis). I guess you could say I'm on the apathy bandwagon.

The only thing you've really done is blacklist some random guy on the chance that he could possibly be somethor, brag and threaten people a lot.
Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.
