I am stating my bid for the new moderation candidacy.

 

I am qualified for the following reasons.

 

1. I am a veteran of these forums in all my rabble-rousing incarnations.

2. I understand the difference between productive and unproductive spam.

3. I have the proper sig.

4. I am a fair and reasonable adult human.

5. I am totally not an automated script.

 

7. I know where roughly half of you live.

 

Discuss why I would/wouldn't make a good new overlord for you all. Also, I am now accepting campaign [read refined petroleum] contributions. I hope to have a smooth campaign and a successful time abusing you all when I am elected moderator through fair democratic process.

You win this time. This time.

I say Feng and Mus should battle to the death.

I'm currently accepting bribes.

Hmmmm. I'm interested, but I want to know more about your policies before I vote for you.

 

What's your stance on the use of the word 'gay' as a derogatory term, as in the following case:

 

"That picture is so gay! (w00t) "?

I hope Feng is against it, or I'll get Eldar to smack him with a bible.

Hmmmm.  I'm interested, but I want to know more about your policies before I vote for you.

In order to answer the question appropriately I need to know more about the picture in question. Does the picture depict acts of homosexual lust or passion? If the picture in question displays such acts and/or scenarios I think it is only appropriate to describe it as gay. It's certainly better than coining the participants a more derogatory term meaning homosexual.

 

However, I have a longstanding track record in battling the use of the word gay as a derogatory term, and other hypocrisies and/or intolerances towards homosexuals. This caused me much grief as I went to a private Christian highschool, and of course, since I was presenting a reasoned argument against prejudice, this had to mean my own sexuality was up for question.

 

Most recently I have punched my younger brother in the arm whenever using the word 'gay' in such a way. Tough love.

 

P.S. Five pounds of fresh roasted coffee from downtown if you want it Cantousent, take it or leave it.

 

P.P.S. If transport can be arranged I would be entirely willing to fight elfboy to the death.

I can take lactoface on, but he must take his cohorts with him. Otherwise it will be a massacre.

 

Well, it will be massacre still, but at least I retain my fair chap-fame.

I like that approach, lol. But doesn't that make him go all "wtf u f.ag or sumthin'?"

An excellent answer, with the possible exception of the violence against your younger brother. As a moderator, you'll need to show greater restraint, and should always seek to dissuade transgressors from their path before applying the harsher penalties of warnings and bans.

 

Nevertheless, a strong start. Now, moving on to spelling and grammar, please correct the following sentences:

 

1. If I'd got there earlier, I would of bought a dice before the shop ran out.

2. An incident occured in university accomodation.

1. If I'd got there earlier, I would've bought a die before the shop ran out.

2. An incident occurred in university accommodation.

Fixed.

Oh boy.

 

 

Edit: Was that fixing business an attempt at humour?

Everything I do is an attempt at humor. You just aren't always aware of it.

If I become moderator there will be free nudie pics for everyone.

 

And I would never remove any nudie pics either!

 

Actually, I would probably not do much at all.

 

Actually, I would be a lousy, lazy moderator.

 

But I would make these fora a finn-free zone!!1!

 

VOTE FOR ME.

You just said you'd break roughly half of the board's rules with your bid.

 

I'd vote for you.

I'd vote for Jim, diddly squat

Have a cookie! No, have two!

 

I'm not voting for Mkreku, though, even if you pull out and support him. I liked Gothic 2, but I don't want to be banned for not buying Gothic 3.

I didn't say I was pulling out. I said any dude who volunteers to break half the board rules with his bid gets my vote. "

Mightn't prevent the vetoes from the modsquad, though ...

We need more mods?

WE DON`T NEED ANOTHER MOD

WE DON`T NEED TO KNOW THE WAY HOME

ALL WE WANT IS LIFE BEYOND
