Seriously, I agree. We need more mods. Since, we have several very active and respected members on this site, why not just add some of them as mods???

Yeah Rich. When are you going to step up?
(Or was that what this was all about to begin with?)
Hmmmmmmmmmmm..........
Very well played sir.

Hhhmmmnn...interesting...does anyone think it coincidence that Rich makes a political powerplay on the same day that P-Sky/SuperPan returns?? Powerbrokers abound.

Don't be silly. Everywhere except here, a moderator who is assigned to a specific topic forum is supposed to have knowledge of that topic, and I don't profess to have any knowledge of any topic forum. :rolleyes: If this site shapes up to resemble just about every other discussion forum out there then that would make me an even less quailfied candidate for a mod postion.

Now if we just had a thread about Rich guys in Texas, who light their BBQ's w/100$ then we might have a thread for you to moderate.

I would offer to be a mod, but by nature I am very immoderate.
Glad to see there's a command structure still in place at least. Good luck to Mr. Adam and co.

As requested by the 'Deputy' Mod (Rich), I've placed this suggestion in this thread:
Why don't Rep points indicate the sender by default? Sending unsigned rep points seems both absurd and cowardly... If possible, I think the site admin should adjust the rep points system so that it automatically displays the name of the sender...
since I can't make anonymous posts on the forum (well, I don't think I can) then why should I be able to send anonymous rep points?
-
Good idea, but I hope people aren't taking the rep system too seriously. I don't. I think of it as a fun game like "tag" or "kill the man with the football" from when I was a young lad. :yesnod:
I'm "Deputy Dog" not Mod! :nonod:

I like this idea...serious or otherwise, it puts some accountabilty and merit in the rep system -
It's not public for all to see, but you should know who's giving you greenies or red chiclets.

Exactly! That's something that seems to have gone over the head of Lex/PS. He thinks we are/were upset because we got red chicklets. At least for me and most likely most others, we are upset because he was too cowardly to sign his name to them. We were upset by his "bad form". He went out of his way to create screen names just to tag people. I could care less if someone give me a red chicklet. Just sign it. I sign mine whether they are green or red.
It all in good fun for most of us. Rich says he wants/begs for red chicklets so we give him as many greens as we can. Granted if he were to asked for greens, he would not get reds. That's freaking fun!

And when Cartman asks for Shiner, I send him Rolling Rock! That's freakin' hilarious! :ciappa:

For that matter, why aren't I able to see ALL of my rep points, instead of the five latest?

Buttwiper, Rolling Crap................ it's all pisswater.
I just sent a case of "The Beast" your way! And like Whooch hinted to in another thread, I'm eating Mexican again tonight. You better hope for a "Norther" by the end of the day or you ain't gettin much sleep tonight. Those south winds can be a be-atch.

You stink. Literally. :eek:

It's nice to see that even a serious attempt at a serious topic (needing a mod) ends up with a fart joke.
Well played gentlemen. Well played.

It'll get back on track beef. Trust me. Even if not one of our existing mods, or not one of the "I've heard it all before" old-timers makes an appearance here to help out, I'm determined to keep this going until Adam acknowledges at least a few of our concerns. :yesnod:

I registered over at The Home Theater Shack and let me tell you there were quite a few layers that I had to work through before I got my registration response e-mail. Lots of warnings and disclaimers as well.
Another of the more obvious ways to deter spammers is by not allowing anyone with less than ten posts to include links or signatures. This is a rule just about everywhere but here.
-
Just to let you know that I'm still alive. I have banished some spamers over the last year, just don't have time to post like I did in the past.
Ericl quit for reason though.

So you would have to ask him that directly. I did know that he wasn't happy. IMHO he was a great admin for these forums. I see the've never replaced him, so that should tell you something.

Geoff,
How's it going? Long time no post.
Don't you miss your sparring matches with flo?

Hey y'all,
Just outta curiosity, what exactly are your expectations on this site? I mean there seems to be a bit of a clamor for a new administrator but to what ends?
Regarding the cumbersome qualities of the vBulletin platform, does anyone really think that a new admin is going to initiate radical changes? I've long suspected that the amount of flash ads and data collecting cookies slow thangs down here but given that those are the primary source of income for these characters is there a reasonable suspicion that's going to change?
I've heard alot of calls for an "Introductions" page but in the last several weeks I've seen several new members sign up and start out with fairly transparent titles like "I'm New" and barely get any response at all. Mebbe we should do our part before lookin' to sweep somebody else's porch.
I keep hearin' talk about "leadership"; are we in a competition and I didn't know about it? How strong a leadership role do you expect, or even want, someone to play around here? FWIW, I like the slow and loose style that we have and the last thing I want is every conversation dictated by the prevailing mood of some webmaster...and as for spam, I think E-Stat and John do a commendable job keepin' the place clean. We just need to get 'em some help, but that doesn't necessarily mean that we need Julie McCoy, ship's Entertainment Director around here.
I'm willing to accept that there's multiple viewpoints on this but it just seems to me that everytime we've had some major "upgrade" around here we've actually lost mambers.
Just somethin' to think about...
