you could have announced you were looking for open positions for mod and probably had some form of democracy going to elect the mod. i'm sure some old timer or someone with a longer amount of time spent in the forum would have volunteered.

I was just thinking things over and perhaps I should have done that..... conduct a poll first and then appoint the most unpopular choice just for the hell of it. :biggrin:

With your prominence, we wanted to honour you with the adoption of the German seniority hierarchy.

Everybody here is unknown to me so it's an even playing field.


I thought you assigned mod based on contributions?



Don't worry. You'll grow into the job. :smile:

The honor of being moderator is in recognition of your significant contributions to the forum. Some of my friends in Auckland have put between 3 to 10 extra kg because of all your food photos.

He became an overnight sensation within the last few weeks. He's a star in the PAP camp and a ???? in the opposition camp.

So are you hinting that you're having second thoughts here? Perhaps just remove modship from tail and then go thru with your plan just for shits and giggles.

Why would he want demote somebody that does the most unpopular job in the forum for free?

Moderation in this forum isn't about controlling the direction taken and censoring opinions expressed. It's simply a housekeeping role which can be a pretty mundane activity.

This involves merging and moving threads, deleting posts made by spam bots, removing duplicate posts and clearing the moderation queue as quickly as possible. Occasionally a trouble maker is spotted trying to disrupt threads. The super mod takes care of those with a 24 hour ban and that's it. He's been around for a long time and nobody even notices him anymore.

Everything a mod does is logged and every action is reversible by me. If Peppertail oversteps the mark, I can easily fix it. In the first 48 hours on the job, he has only executed 39 actions and all have been housekeeping activities. He was a bit overzealous in moving stuff to the trivia folder but that has been fixed. So far, he has done a pretty good job.

The notion that he's some sort of SS officer who is here to torture and silence those he disagrees with is ludicrous. There is no way in the world that can happen as long as this forum is owned by me.

You guys should be thankful that there is someone who actually volunteered to help out. The end result should be a tidier forum and less waiting time for those who have just signed up.

PS: I have a script running which detects clone activity so please do not use clones to manipulate rep points. You may end up having all your clones in moderation.:wink:

ok, i trust u. following you since delphi days.

no shit sherlock what i am referring to is the forum moniker. As far as everyone is concerned you are totally unknown here.

The poll came after you were parachuted in the way PAP did.

jah and rusty, my old friends.
this peppertail pap dog maybe clone of sam or someone sam know.
even its not, maybe sam purposely parachuting someone unknown like what pap did in the PE by election.
sam just want him to do the trivia stuffs and sam is still very much in control.
intention is just trying to stir some shit, like what bro Debonerman mentioned here about our late Ramseth.
of cos this pap dog peppertail is pro pap. "it" wont be a pro opposition mod.
not because to balance the views or support the pap.
but to make the situation here more edgy and fiery for the oppositions supporters or those sitting on the wall.
to make them think and vote for the oppositions like what clinton did.

As a fellow moderator, even if you don't like me to say it, I will, for the last time. There is no need to explain. Just do your job. This is the golden advice Sam gave me, not once but twice. Ok, I'm out of here. Mind my own business :biggrin:
