I vote that only the top 20 in the folding leaderboard should be eligible for mod.... Now get folding!
What the flip my pm must have got lost !! Joke...I only work for large amounts of money but congrats Margon.
Welcome to the force. Many are called, few are chosen. As retired moderator, it is my honour and privilege to bestow upon you the tools with which you will be upholding the law, maintaining peace and order and dispense justice as required. First: the Book of Bit-Tech Rules: Yours, so you may read the rules, know the rules, love the rules, enforce the rules, with balance and compassion. Second, the Armour of Flames: Yours, so you may brave the flames of petulance and dickwaddery, and be protected in the heat of argument as you restore reason and order once more. And finally: the BANHAMMER: Yours, so you may dispense order and justice swiftly and mightily, and defeat the fiendish armies of spam, yet also wield it with measure and precision. If you do it well, you have to hardly wield it at all. If you do it well, Forum members shall speak your name with respect. If you do it right, they will speak of it with love. Go forth, and remember: being a moderator is not about you; it is about the forum. Yet it is always about you, because you are the forum. This is a calling, and you were called. Step forward, and be awesome.
TL;DR: ban the spammers and tossers, and just be you. Well done Matt, it's good to see your name in red.
Well... yeah. You guys just have no sense of occasion. There's supposed to be ceremony. There should be pomp and circumstance. There should be big words and elaborate rituals and objects of rite!
Moderation is a dark art. Few have seen the secret menus, had the hushed conversations, tasted the sweet nectar which oozes forth from the handle of the banhammer. To truly understand these things is beyond us mere mortals.
Nexxo, it's a shame to see you step down. Over the years, I've seen you kill many a flamewar and ban many of the unclean. Margon, You have big shoes to fill. Congrats on the new role and please don't ban me
I think I have to agree with Nexxo there should be pomp and ceremony So by that conclusion, it means that you, Shirty, are a party pooper. Thanks for the congrats people And thanks for the wise words Nexxo!
That's a brilliant idea. I think that purple would look better though. Failing that, a second user title to reflect their old status on the forum
Sad news. It's a shame to see you step down, Nexxo, but totally understandable. I can't imagine how one would even begin to choose a successor to the mighty Nexxo. I only hope it went down something like this:
