Fenghuang Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) 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.

SteveThaiBinh Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) 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) "?

Lucius Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I hope Feng is against it, or I'll get Eldar to smack him with a bible. DENMARK!

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) "? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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.

Musopticon? Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) I can take lactoface on, but he must take his cohorts with him. Otherwise it will be a massacre.

Tough love. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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.

mkreku Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 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.
