New Moderators and Updated Forum Rules

[SurlySeraph]

Hang on a minute. Shouldn't the new and departing mods be getting cake and cute animals?

That's better.

[Zar Peter]

Yo, dawg, I heard you like modding other mods, so I've modded this mod so you can mod mods while you mod.

One Mod to rule them all, One Mod to find them,
One Mod to bring them all and in the darkness bind them



Congratulations Roland for finding help in your neverending task. And welcome all you new mods, good luck in keeping this place as clean as it is.

Thanks to the retired mods, without you this forum wouldn't be what it is now.

I'm just wondering what Roland will do with all the clones he doesn't need now...

[Cryssandra]

I'm probably a bit late, but still. Grats new mods!

[Rockphed]

One Mod to rule them all, One Mod to find them,

Somehow I think you should have a reference to banning in there, but I cannot think how to include it.


Roland, can I borrow your ring for a minute

*whistles*

[Serpentine]

"One ring to scrub them all and in the darkness ban them"?

"One Mod to make the rules, one Mod to code them.
One Mod to scrub them all, and in the forum ban them."

[Killer Angel]

I could open a new thread as this is a board issue, but probably this thread fits as well for my doubt.

At the bottom of each forum page, there's the list of the Mods responsible for that section. Are the Mods aware that such lists aren't updated?

For example, the Display Options of the Roleplaying Games forum, show:
Moderators: 3 (Roland St. Jude, The Giant, Gray Watcher)

AverageJoe, Mark Hall, The Gliphstone and Vaynor are not yet listed...

[Zeb The Troll]

Actually, they have been updated. You'll find that none of those lists now includes any of the retired Moderators.

[Rawhide]

Yeah, I'm aware. It's not a simple tick and flick job and I haven't gotten around to updating that yet. Well, other than removing the retired mods.

[Killer Angel]

Yeah, I supposed a similar thing.
No problem for me, even without a remind in the display options, I know where to find all of you...

[Supagoof]

Congratulat...wait what? Looks at averagejoe carefully.

Hero in the playground eh? I once held a similar title. If you go changing that to Superhero now, just don't use Supa. That's copyrighted* (and believe me you don't want the mispronuciation headache.)

Where was I? oh yeah.

Congratulations to the new Mods. A title/job well deserved/earned and I hope you keep your hair with it.

Farewell retired Mods. Long you have helped make this place great, and I hope you still have hair left on your heads from all the times we made you want to pull it out.

To the Mods who have been and will stay with us for awhile longer...I have toupees for sale*!

*really? no - not really.

[Strawberries]

"One ring to scrub them all and in the darkness ban them"?

"One Mod to make the rules, one Mod to code them.
One Mod to scrub them all, and in the forum ban them."

Somehow my inner poet demands that to be:

"One Mod to make the rules, one Mod to code them.
One Mod to scrub them all, and from the forum ban them."

Mind you, my inner poet is still at the stage of "Roses are red, violets are blue"

Actually, Mark Hall carries the title Superhero in the playground.

[Keld Denar]

Hey all, me again. I gotta say, I'm totally impressed by the response speed of the new moderators. I reported a necro today and within minutes it was locked. Maybe someone else reported it before I did and it only seemed like an instant response, but I'll give credit for that. I'm not knockin the amazing job Roland did, but gosh darnit things are good. This isn't just mindless syncophantical adoration, I really am impressed!

Keep up the good work my friends! And kudos!

I think your inner poet is doing quite well. Can I sig that? Or do I need to ask somebody a bit earlier in the process?

[Strawberries]

I'd be honoured, but all I did was changing just one preposition. The request (and credit) should be made to Serpentine and Zar Peter.

Let's complete this...

Five for the Games, uniter of the Forum.
Four for the Comics, masters of the arts.
Three for the Play-by-Post, for the games of all sorts.

[Maxios]

Man! I want to be a moderator! I want to have ulitmate power! I want to be power-crazy! I want to be corrupt...uh I mean I would be a just, pure, moderator, heh.
Seriously though, how does one become a mod?

Be a decent human being on the forums, Have a great understanding of the rules (and follow them), wait until they need new mods, and wait for a PM asking you to join. If we're lucky we won't need new mods for another couple of years.

But nobody wants to throw Roland into a volcano...

[Rockphed]

But nobody wants to throw Roland into a volcano...

Well, nobody who is still in the playground.

[RabbitHoleLost]

But nobody wants to throw Roland into a volcano...

...He wouldn't even die. He would just shoot straight back out and be like "Ahaha. Funny.

You're banned.
FROM LIFE."

[kpenguin]

I don't think throwing Roland into a volcano is actually against the rules. That is to say, it'd be out of our jurisdiction unless the volcano existed on the forums somehow.

[RabbitHoleLost]

BATMANROLAND HAS NO JURISDICTION.

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

[Philistine]

Man, with all this talk of volcanos I find myself craving some Jimmy Buffett. Ahh, here we go...

"Why don't we get dr-"

Erp! Sorry, wrong track. I forgot I'd planned something a little different using that tape. I'll just fast-forward to the next track then, shall I? Good, good.

[Mercenary Pen]

Congratulations to the new mods, thanks for the hard work to the old mods...

Here's hoping that Roland will let the new guys use the Min-There is no mind control, I will go back to my fun.

[Maxios]

Are you kidding man! Of course they're mind control! The mod's got space satelliet-
I am just telling a joke. There is no mind control. There is no satellites. Ha. Ha.

Also, thanks for letting me know. Perhaps someday, Maxios will be a moderator, a power hungry, mind controlling, almighty being.

[Matthew]

Congratulations to the new moderators, and happy retirement to the old!

Well I didn't do much more then copy and change ring with mod so I have no problem with siging...

I'm not done yet!

That was created with old information... now that the moderators have been placed in the bottom right-hand box on each of the main forums, I can update it.
