Uh, yeah. Vote for your choice.

I put the options based on people who post regularly and don't postwhore, and who know the rules and such.

Okay, there are plenty of good canidates.

I'm not going to vote, but I would like to quote 87x:

hmm... its a damn shame that jewpin doesnt care about post whores...

I dont like post whoring either, but there is too much for just one person to take care of. And moderators who do lock threads because of post whoring are seen as Forum-Nazis.

They do it on ddrmaniax, and noone cares about them... then again, they have an abundance of mods, but still.

Besides, you shouldn't be worrying about what other people think of you.

I'd like to be a moderator, And im sure everyone would like to be. I've made Four "hard" songs for FFR and im known as much as i should be for it. I dont ask of anything more for it. BeMaNiRuLeR Before he dissapeared was the moderator/staff of ddrmaniax, ddrei, and bemanistyle for a while because of his famous stepfile masterpieces, which could make me a good candidate moderator. But whatever.

Arch0wl
06-24-2003, 03:27 PM
Well, he created ddrmaniax... ddrei I dunno

Hyrogashi
06-24-2003, 03:28 PM
Whatever, he was staff on plenty of websites cus he made pwn stepfiles. Where's my staff privledges?!?!?! Oh i forgot, My stepfiles suck. At least that's why synth sugar coated and told me.

Arch0wl
06-24-2003, 03:40 PM
I made like 8 stepfiles for bemanistyle, but I only got ops in the irc channel, even then that was only because I was a regular there alot.......

Nevermind, I see your point :X

if i wasnt on the list i would of voted for soujiro or SotN because they are the most logical and clearest thinkers... im not saying anything bad but.. arch abd hyro have a tendency to fly off the handle sometimes... i also would of picked freak83, but he doesnt get on that much.. but since i was on the list i voted for my-self...

Freak83
06-25-2003, 11:20 AM

Actually I'm here a lot, I just tend to read many of the posts without actually commenting on any of them now.

Since I'm not on the list :oops: I had to vote for 87x because i know he likes to scan the forums and look for places to post, so i think he'd find posts that need to be modded fairly quickly.

06-25-2003, 12:08 PM

Arch0wl
06-25-2003, 03:10 PM
87x:

I put myself on there because I've been a mod on other forums before, and I know what to do...

Like for example, when someone talks about something that doesn't exist, instead of posting it doesn't exist, I would just lock it and edit the post to something like like "It doesn't exist, you can get banned for posting this kind of stuff"

Mods can't ban users, at least not with phpbb2, that's only in vbulletin. The most they can do to users as far as I know on phpbb2 is edit their signature, avatar, lock topics, edit posts, make announcements and stickys, etc. As far as I know only admins can ban users.

And I know you people think hyro and I go off the top often, and we do, there's no denying that, but I know how to be a mod. I'm not stupid. There WAS a forum where I had mods and I abused them like fuck but that was because I knew the admin personally and he didn't care what I did, and there were only like 100-200 users signed up.

thnx.. and good reason...

second off..


Actually I'm here a lot, I just tend to read many of the posts without actually commenting on any of them now.


well sry... i only said that cause you rarley post anymore... and i just thought that you didnt get on anymore.. i jumped to conclusions.. my fault...

third off...


I put myself on there because I've been a mod on other forums before, and I know what to do...


knowing what to do doesnt make you the best choice... granted that you know a lot about being a mod, and youve earned it in a lot of ways like exp, dedication to the site, and respect from most of the users, you havent earned it peacefull-ness... you hate yanah (for saying he was better than you(not very good reason)), you hated hikkifan (because of red font(another bad reason))... and you have very little patience with n00bs...im not flaming you, i actually think your a cool guy... just i dont think you have the personality to be a peacful mod....

SeanH
06-25-2003, 05:50 PM
Eh, being a mod isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Then again, it's probably easier on a small forum like here. I'm a mod over at GameFAQs, and have to put up with tons of crap everyday. (Not to say that it's enough to make me not want to be one, but sometimes it is frustrating.)

Dedication to the website baby, oh yeah.

Arch0wl
06-25-2003, 07:28 PM
I'm a mod over at GameFAQs

Damn, mods over there are getting more abundant nowadays...

I remember back when it was just like 10 mods XD and he would hire like 3 mods out of a whole year, then he went on a mod hiring spree o.o

You're probably familiar with my messages in some way.. cause I get moderated an assload, even though I'm VERY VERY VERY familiar with gamefaq's TOS and know all the rules I still slip between the cracks.. usually on purpose cause I know if I get modded it'll be something minor like a loss of 3 karma or something... and my account has been thrashed so many times by.. myself, that it doesn't matter if I get modded... only stuff like suspensions/warnings really matter cause those affect my posting

Well then again maybe not cause more mods means it'll be spread out among different mods...

SeanH
06-25-2003, 07:36 PM
Heh... I have seen a few of your posts there, arch... You might want to lay off the trolling a little though, otherwise mods can automatically bump up your punishment, even for minor offenses.

And yeah, I was surprised at the latest batch of mods he hired (50!), effectively doubling the number of mods. Though I'd say he won't be hiring any more any time soon, and I guess you do need ~100 mods with a userbase of almost 250,000.

Hi.

Anywho, I look at virtually every post. I go here too often, I just don't post in everything like 87x.

I know what to do for modding, it's common sense. Boom.

NessTormented would be by far the bast, but meither are here. Shizu popped a message one time, then left :razz .

I think I will vote for myself, even though I know I am not the most deserving. Too many good choices, you know?? :x

I would like to be a moderator, but as I moderate a couple of other sites already I may not have time to do so. I think - hyro; the quality you me and Arch all miss is - well, being nice. You two rape every n00b that comes here almost, and im not alot better :D

from the newspost


* Lots of time on your hands
* Post whoring annoys you
* You can be kind to newbie's no matter how annoying
* You understand that certain things are secret and don't exist
* You have experience moderating in the past
* Understanding of PhpBB forum software

discuss.

Um, no offense to those this obviously applies to, but a future mod should be hmm, how you say - - literate? I don't want to be a mod, so don't start bitching at me.

I saw you nail someone for using "u" Hyro, I was proud. More improvements still necessary for oneself though, whereas 87 is just.. lost

like double posting? When/where did I say I am perfect? Or that I don't make mistakes? A long time ago I made it habit to type with correct grammar, it's second nature.. if I fuck up, it's a fuck up.. I don't stare at my screen and proof read my bs.

Mods need to show dedication, show that they are not infact morons (90% of this forum can not do that), and they need to show that they're willing to make an attempt at doing something. I know your post prior to my statement was a typo, it wasn't to what I was referring, go read my grammar post then read your previous 2000 posts, you even argued me you don't care about online didn't you? shrug, irrelevant anymore

1. Arch0wl is too immature.

2. Has a very short temper and can cause arguments easily.

3. Has been banned in the past; if he pisses others off so much and can't follow some simple rules that tells you right there and then that he doesn't deserve it.

All I know about 87x is that he has a lot of posts and I doubt that all 2000 something of them are more than 2 paragraphs long. coughwhorecough. And I don't care if he's a vet or old or whatever.

The person who has the right attitude for the modship is me, but I probably don't come here as often as I should like. I can be quite objective and I don't give a rat's ass who it is if a rule is broken. I also believe Qreepy has the correct mindset for the job as well. He's not that mean but then again not as bashful to with-hold a "fuck off" when somebody's deserving of it.


Yeah yeah, not like I'd get the modship anyways, I just think I'd be able to handle the skills as they would be needed. And, don't forget that I can all supply you blokes with the pr0n. :) Ohhh yeah. Don't you forget that crtl-a pic I posted a while back. :wink:

But even if writing less than 2 paragraphs for every single post you make makes you a post whore, then you just whored, and that means even Synth and Nestle are whores. And so basically you just called everyone on these forums, including you, whores....

Uh, it maybe takes 1 minute to write myself a post. Sorry you have the inability to actually think and post something meaningful. And attention whore my ass, I usually have a long post(if you illiterates call 2 paragraphs long) when some idiot singles me out - like you.

With your elite muscle shirts, I don't think you should be talking about people trying to "avert" attention to themselves.

Stupid.. I won't even touch your grammar.

Post whoring is when you make a post that either

A) has nothing to do with the topic

B) Is some chatroom response (like LOL or such)

C) Making Posting games. They often are designed to increase post count and get huge numbers of replies.

The one word war is a good example.

Delete that topic and you'll lose about 20% of the postwhoring on the forum.
