New Staff Member Possibilities

[Cookie Monster]

Yeah, I should probably clarify that I wasn't suggesting his removal from staff. Just that he take some time away from the forum to sort out his health issues.

 

[CK]

He does have a thing for dancing dinos.

OMFG DANCE RAVE METROSEXUAL REPTAR But it's supposed to flash different colours.

 

[CK]

 

[Cookie Monster]

Why is it cut off???

I have the original one on my external harddrive somewhere.

 

[Cookie Monster]

hell yes.

 

[CK]

I FUCKING LOVE YOU

 

[looneymoon]

That dino is pussy-poppin'

 

[Vendel]

For me, activity is just as important as having a good head on your shoulders when it comes to modding.

Thankfully I have an abundance of both.

 

[Cookie Monster]

 

[Fangu]

Fangu: I know you were mentioned a few times. You actually have the most potential, imho. You haven't even been around a full year yet and you've already accomplished a lot here. Not sure if you've created the necessary connection with the entire community yet. But, you're certainly on your way. Keep on truckin'.

<Fangu> ooooo I just noticed Road said some nice things about me
<Octo> oh no! Crush fuel! lol

I think she's declined the suggestion, but I don't recall if that was on forum or through other channels.

Both. And yes.

Oh also, I'm flattered that anybody would even consider me, but I don't want to be mod. I've modded enough that I've experienced my own drama bombs. I'm just here to waste time with lovely people. But thanks anyway.

Mostly this.

At the moment, Fangu's kind of a tech staffer, working on a redesign / rethinking / restructuring of the front page (because I'm too lazy for that).

But also this.

 

[Hisako]

So Fangu is one of my favorites atm but I wouldn't want the mod work to stress her out too much, esp. when she's all busy(ish?) working on that front page stuff.

I'm sure she can handle it though, being a ridiculously responsible lady and all.

 

[Octo]

I have a request, can the people who have been nominated/put themselves forward so far be listed in the first post please? I'm losing track here

 

[Madame Mayor]

We should probably have something like official nominations (which have been going on), people nominated decide and post if they want to actually run for position, then individual threads go up for them and the current staff for voting and discussion.

 

[Ryushikaze]

That was the plan, for the most part, yes.
I'll get on the aggregation of nominations shortly. Need some food first.

 

[Flintlock]

Really, I'd just like to see the existing staff be a lot more pro-active, but as it seems to have been decided that there is definitely going to be at least one new member, here are my two nominations.

Gym Leader Devil is my number one candidate. I find myself agreeing with his opinions on all the more serious matters around here, and I know he would take the job seriously to make sure he was efficient, friendly and fair to everyone.

I don't know Madame Mayor that well but I think it's blindingly obvious that she would be a fine addition as well. I think her posts make a lot of sense and she commands the respect of the community as well, which is important.

 

[Dawnbreaker]

I agree with almost all the nominations here said, but I'd like to add Ghost X to the list, if possible (Flint got to my suggestion of GLD, who was the other, thus not-named, suggestion I was gonna have).

 

[Arianna]

I guess I should put it here, to be official: I think I would make a good moderator.

 

[Max Payne]

If you feel like you need to promote yourself as a mod you probably shouldn't be a mod.

go away grandma

 

[Vendel]

If you feel like you need to promote yourself as a mod you probably shouldn't be a mod.

Then let's make the people who declined mods.

 

[Hisako]

Way to be a huge downer Dacon.
oh well at least you're honest about it

 

[Arianna]

If you feel like you need to promote yourself as a mod you probably shouldn't be a mod.

Wow. Thanks a lot. Proves this isn't about getting the job done, just about who's popular. Oh well, isn't that always the way.

Way to be a huge downer Dacon.

No. He's a jerk about it. It didn't need to be said.

 

[Max Payne]

I'm just saying that, if you're volunteering to be a mod you don't know what you're getting yourself into, it's no picnic. Look at all of the shit the mods on this board go through.

Well, I was hoping some of that emotional maturity would come into play here so I was just being honest.

Also, some of the members that have been nominated are hardly "popular" people just think they'd be appropriate.

Don't take this shit so personal.

I agree that it's a shitty job to get into and you can't afford to be unprepared for it, but it's dangerous to go around assuming people who are self-promoting have no idea what they're in for. I know we're a forum of cynics but we are trying to do this tabula rasa shit, yknow.

And I certainly think we all saw what the mods have gone through these past few days. I know you're speaking from experience but you don't have to be so negative about it.
