On the subject of my reelection as moderator
A year or so ago, I was nominated and elected to be a moderator. It looks like I received 40 yes votes at the time. It was not something I petitioned for. It just happened.
By and large, I've done nothing here. That's what this place requires. When notified of a problematic post, the response 95% of the time was nothing. On the occasion that I saw something that looked questionable myself, I'd flag it and let Heat or SRC change it as they saw fit.
I did recently ban shitstain for a week. He had it coming, trolled a step too far over the line, and broke the TOS. He would have thrown just as big of a fit had his post just been deleted, and likely would have posted more of the same. I like tits as much as the next guy, but didn't want to deal with that bullshit the whole holiday weekend. So I zapped his ass. I don't regret it. And per the poll that went up, the majority felt it was justified. That was the full extent of my moderation. I didn't delete or lock anything otherwise. I've never so much as considered banning a geronimo. There's never been anything remotely close to even warrant asking the membership about it.
What cracks me up is how big of a popularity contest this has become with all of the look at me types vying for a spot at the trough. That's kind of interesting for a position that requires just the opposite to some extent. If the moderators aren't supposed to do fuck all here, and there isn't really anything to moderate, does it really matter how active they are?
All that said, I guess I was "honored" to be elected before. And I'll be glad to continue to keep on doing little to nothing as I had done in the past. Nothing has changed about the poster I was when I was elected to the poster I am now.

Your solid with me dude. Didn't even know you were a moderator. Which ironically means you're doing your job the way it was meant to be

Can't say I agree with you banning shitnuts (not that my opinion matters) but in large you and the rest of the mods have been solid. It seems the masses are just trying to find the limits of this place recently.

No. You are completely right. I meant to close with the fact that I didn't give a shit one way or the other. I did feel inclined to say my piece though.Blanch32 wrote:Stop taking this so personal. Not like you won't be mod again after the new mods stop posting

Re: On the subject of my reelection as moderator
For the record, Gomer, I'm with white boy that no one really cares. Most of my arguing with you guys is just dicking around cause it's the only thing going on. But, the whole point to me arguing against banning that kid that one time was this, exactly this, annoying ass conversation would be the result. Molehill meet mountain. I so wish you had listened, because this is getting super boring and kinda weird.

No one is crying about anything rcmb mod. Merely pointing out that this is exactly what I told all of you would happen. But you were so insistent on getting your vengeance via banning that you wouldn't listen. If you find all of this shit boring and horrible, then listen to uncle Travis next time.

I coulda sworn that your goal in all of this was "to do something other than the same old shit to fuck with him" to get him to "start posting progressively more and more outlandish posts to get attention." (well it got him to post nudity anyway) Didn't you say that?
So preban was boring, now this is boring... maybe you could post about hats repeatedly.

I don't care either way as I don't have any responsibility over here which is why I like it here. I do feel like I should post the Jimmy C pic though. It's not just a myth.Travis of the Cosmos wrote:Snake Plissken wrote:Are you still crying about this shit?

Re: On the subject of my reelection as moderator
I've got no beef with the mods. I understand the recent two kerfuffles, and I get why some took issue. Points have been made from both sides, and I understand both. But these are the only two dust-ups in this dump's history. I'm thankful for that. It's world's better than other sites. Let's all move on from the past couple of weeks, unless a mod actually wants off the job, in which case there are a few great nominations. Except Floyd. What freak wants a visor?
