He's a regular Moll Flanders, that one. Rags to ritches in a couple years. All it took was the flash of some skin in a bathing suit.....
Given this frankly quite outrageous news, I think it is only proper that at least some basic criteria for appointing Mods is published. If only because now we know Shirty can get a badge, the rest of us, who previously perceived ourselves reprobate degenerates without a hope in hell, are suddenly wondering how close we were to getting the nod.
It's an unwritten rule amongst communities of largely male geeks: using a liberal amount of baby oil and force, jam yourself inside your lady's swimwear and post a photo of yourself in it. Things happen behind the scenes. Things grow and swell - throb even. Before you know it you're a moderator. (Ironic really that what started out as a derail of Nexxo's de-mod thread ended with this)
Next you'll be talking about KY jelly so let's stop right there before you bring out the jock straps again
Suckers--er, I mean, congratulations guys! Now you are mods, you will be bestowed with the holy instruments of your calling: --The flame-proof armour: yours, to shield you as you dispense your righteous justice. --The book of forum rules: yours, to guide your steady and unwavering hand with fairness, wisdom and compassion. --The banhammer: yours, to smite down the evil and nefarious enemies of Bit-Tech forums and banish the demons of stupidity from this exalted realm. Now go forth, Moderators, and bring balance to the Force!
Two new mods? Shouldn't this thread be in the 'modding' section? I'll grab my coat. Before I do though, congrats to the pair of you. May your use of the mighty hammer be directed for those who don't follow the path of Cheesecake
