Who Wants To Be A Mod?

I bet the first weeks are the most difficult...

But what actually changes once a member becomes a Mod? Is it the new Mod that has changed or..our perception and expectations, that have changed. It must be lonely for them, especially if you see what for colleagues they get ;)

So, bare a kind thought for these hapless creatures... realise what a mess they have wormed themselves into..as one day, it might be your lot too :)

Perhaps it's possible to make a short list of "does and don't " to help guide these lost souls along their chosen path to self-destruction...

It would be good to have a little structure and begin first with maybe a few "Don't" suggestions...as the "Doe" suggestions will not IMO take up all that much space. :)

Perhaps some of the new mods will post some of their fears, hopes etc on becoming a Mod, in this thread too. Then we can then see how we can be of assistance.

To be honest, I think that newly promoted Mods should not attempt to enter the Lounge until at least 52 weeks have past. Reason being, all the members who thought they should have been a mod first, will all get jealous and upset..and of course they are actually right!

One last thought.. Do you think that the Lounge Mod should be appointed by an organised election or acclamation ...as a sort of Union representative? :lol:

You can't put people on ignore, or be put on ignore.

And don't forget the blew stars :smilie4:

You have to be universally unpopular.

Vote JP, that thread redirect out of the Lounge was a bit much.

Also you get access to the Team Chat, the rest of us have to wait until Haxor hacks it again before we can get in there.

I get it PMed to me weakly. I just assumed you got a copy as well.

Do you want me to forward it, or maybe just a précis.

I know who I would vote for as King Lizard... in fact there are five possible candidates, IMO :)

So, when you say "I know who I would vote for..." that is in fact pish.

umm They almost had me mod once

but right now id say no Power as a member being a mod to much of a pain because im too layed back and nice and wouldnt do anything

..surely you can remember those threads,

"What part of the world do you come from?"..or something similar.. callum. :)

You couldn't pay me enough, I already have to look after one site and I spend way to much time in the forums and in IRC, it is just me or do others think p2p stuff is slightly addictive?

I'm trying to work out if this is an old thread from 2004.

Or April

I heard that the first 20 posters in this thread are on the "short list"to become a mod. Normally, the names are put into a box, then out of those names..the mods are chosen;( the picker, is blindfolded. ). So you see, as we already have noticed, you don't need any particular properties to become a mod here.. :)

Just a lamb for Rossco

I don't think I'll ever achieve the elevated status here, even after all the work I've put into getting it.

That makes me a bit sad.

Your advice on hardware,merits it. I've pissed on quite a few of my peripheral's...

-bd

Fair point.

What was it.

He's just saying that you are advice on lonely hardware. Don't complicate things for me further. I'm already lost.

Back of eleven.

It would be a mistake in my opinion not to make Mr.JP Fugley a mod. The only problem with that is that we might lose you in some way. Still we would enjoy toying with you :)

I gots to tell you, the whole bt-invite section fails in general.

But its one redeeming factor is that you get these brilliant "When babelfish attacks"-kind of moments.

And that is absolutely awesome.

That might be true, however, I still think we should keep a watchful eye on what's going on there, with all those leechers hanging around trading torrent accounts. :)
