Who would you like to see as a moderator, i dont want or need a place in the Windows Operating Systems forum. If you want to mod there just say so, it could just happen!
-
Hey, XP I mean Linux User #88238234 could be the mod. Nothing like having a fresh convert moding the Windows forum. (http://smile.gif)
-
I would be happy to mod somewhere :D
-
I wouldn't mind, i'd be honored but i wouldn't ask you for the chance. the bobs are confusing me lately, i dont know which one is saying what. (i guess it doesn't matter though, they are all bob right?) xp user may be a good one, but his previous behavior i'm not so sure about though. granted people do change, and i'm not bashing him by any means. I haven't been here long enough to know all that went on, xp user seems alright as far as i can tell.
Is that a well structured paragraph or what ;)
-
Im always good at thinking up new confusing ways to make this messege bored more then a rant heaven!
I persoanlly think Macman and Quirk will be the next to mods introduced, That and Tux!

i'm surprised void main isn't one now, and that he's not on your list.
-
Void Main has said countless amounts of time that He does not want to moderate!
-
no offence to xp user, but in light of his original sentiments i don't think i would want him as a mod yet. as X11 proved recently modding has serious consequences if used incorrectly, and while we are only talking about one new mod for one forum (the windows one) i think it's important to make it somebody who's got a long standing record of consistency.
i don't know that the likes of void main or macman would want to use up their time modding the windows forum.
-
If the Windows section is the only one I can get I'll definitely take it. Besides, my geekishness and lack of life gives me plenty of time to be a moderator.
-
well, in that case my vote's in. McMan to moderate the windows forum, i say!
-

another vote for a fellow Mac commando! (http://smile.gif)
-
Macman would be good.
But the Qurk!
I like Quirk :D
-
I vote for me (http://smile.gif)
If I were to pick someone other than myself it would be the Quirk. The Quirk and Macman have been with the forums for about the same amount of time, but in that time, The Quirk has been twice as active :eek:
-
I vote for myself because I feel that I'm a very special person. No, really, I am!
-
I'm too scatterbrained to be a mod and don't like having unnecessary responsibility (http://tongue.gif) We don't really need any more mods right now in my opinion.
-
well i think we should have Linux User #5225982375 and not macman(no offense) we need someone there that does work with windows or did to answer questions there.
-
it doesnt matter if they can answer questions at all. They just need to be able to tell if a post is useless.

I still am forced to work with Winblows.

Only some of the time though (Thanks to Knoppix and partition resizing)

well we dont want someone who is pointless there, wouldnt it be better to have someone like muffin man if linux user doesnt want it.
-
How about The Jimmy James? Too new? In that case I cast one for Macman.
-
what exactly does a moderator do, at a site called "fuckmicrosoft.com," does that much stuff really get modded out?
Also notice I am #25, hint hint

I'm amazed that it says you only posted 97 for being #25, or did you lose them in that whole accidently deleting things a few days ago?
(edit) i hate typos...

no, he's been away for quite a while though...
as for who should be a mod, i still say macman. sorry, but i don't know if i want xp user to mod the windows forum, myself, since i still remember his original attitude on here. i'm a cautious person to start with though, i remember having doubts when i found out x11 was to be a mod (and some would say (though not me, not really) that those doubts have been borne out.
As for Billy G's comments about how a mod here does nothing, might i point out that the best moderation of a forum will be completely invisible to the normal posters. i don't think i'd make someone a mod if they thought there was nothing to be done.
It's all about being vigilant and keeping the place tidy. I suppose it's also about starting relevant topics when something new comes up, but i think that happens on this forum enough that mods don't really need to worry about it.
Yeah yeah, if i sound like a stuck up arse, then sorry, i just think that what with the recent accident in the linux forum with us STILL missing about six months of posts, which i don't think will ever return, we need to be a bit careful about who gets to moderate what.
Personally i am not sure there should even be a public thread about it, although i applaud the spirit of democracy behind the fact that there is.
-
Actually I've been around longer than my account shows. If you'll recall, I tried to log on at school and for some reason was locked out for good. That's why my username is now Pissed_Macman.
-
I agree with Calum, i could understand calum being worried about me modding when i first started and i have done 1 major fuck up, but that was a accident and i did own up.
I was worried about some of the other people that i wont mention moderating, and macman would be a good addition to the MES Modding team. I still think the Quirk has good values on freedom of speech, and also has a sense of humor. He would by far in my opinion be the first person I would add if i where the webmaster. On the second hand there is Tux who is also a very good member, contributing lots.
However i don't like the attitude of the mods sometimes: example (http://forum.fuckmicrosoft.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=7&t=000285) (warning - large images, not for dial up)
Your lucky, I responded to the Webmasters request for people who wanted to mod after seeing it. I actually asked not to moderate the lounge, and i would have made that irresponsible abuse of the forum right again by linking the images. That thread is the biggest signs of ignorance on the forum.
On a good note, its nice to see that after the Linux/Unix incident (which i will refer to as the "Big Fuck-up"), that the moderators and forum members found a solution. (Maybe its because i moderate there ;) ).
Our goal is not to create a political community, but to bash Microsoft. But moderating is needed but is also not needed because of the current lack of trolls. However there have been other times where we have laid back no expecting trolls where they have appeared. I think a zero tolerance act against them will fix them. Fuck there freedom to speak, if they want that... they can goto another forum, or create there own. A scottish dude can do it (http://www.polytheismforum.tk) so anybody can. A SkRiPt0r can do it (http://www.belg88.com) so why not do that if your a troll.
Productivity should be our first proirity.

Kinda weird how we've created our own little government here. Good because everyone gets a say, bad because nothing ever gets done. Let's just pick someone and get it over with.

x11, is this a tit for tat flame war you are starting here? i honestly think you are a very good moderator here, as i think your intentions are good, which is what matters in the end after all. well maybe i better shut up. anyway, i didn't mean any slur on you at all.
However this example of yours is not in any way an abuse. This derives directly from the days when zombie90210 used to post huge screenshots in every thread, and none of the moderators stopped him. Those were bad days and i think that haviong ONE SINGLE THREAD where people post their screenshots is a very good idea. and so is warning peopl ein the title about the image content within. How many 'look at my kewl desktop' threads might have been started if i hadn't made it all one thread? notice how popular the screenshots thread is? i bet quite a few of those people would have started individual threads (probably with no warning in the title) had they not had this avenue to go down instead.
If these forums become all rules and no enjoyment then there is LITTLE point.
PS: i just realised that you yourself have been more irresponsible by posting that 'example' with no warning that it would take the person to a page with a lot of images. what if somebody had clicked that link unwittingly, who was using a 9600 baud modem? good job i added a warning after the link in your post.
People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

just wanted to repeat this as i take it as a personal insult. do with that information what you will.

[ November 22, 2002: Message edited by: Calum ]

Calum is right. If he hadn't started that thread, some members would have been posting screenshots all over. To me at least, this is a sign of responsible moderating. Hell, I'm on dialup but I still visit the particular thread. (http://smile.gif)
-
No people should just post links links links of them (i wrote links 3 times so i got through to you) its not hard, and it better for the poor people.

You have a point there X11. Being one of the "poor people" (still on dialup), I have to agree with that.
-
x11, i have made many points above about why what you say is completely incorrect, if you choose to descend into this banal dialogue then I will not waste any more energy on this futile topic.
People can post images images images images images images (i said images six times, since you appear to believe in a very immature way that that proves something, so my extra three repetitions makes me right) in one thread which contains a warning in the title. people on dial up are warned and if they go there, then it's their lookout. if they want to see the images then the waiting time adds up the same in the end anyway, and i guarantee you it's a fucking boring thread without seeing the images.
And there's NO NEED to insult people for no reason other than you want to vent your spleen.

on second thoughts, you know what? i vote that we make X11 the only moderator of the lounge, and we can the screenshots thread. then we'll see how he fucking copes. the lounge sees the most traffic on this site by far, and i'm sick of X11 moaning about what a shit moderator i am, and then fucking deleting half the unix forum. sorry, i was ready to forgive and forget about that but if you want a flame war, x11, you'll get one.
-
Hey you guys, chill out! There's no need for a forum "civil war" between mods!
X11, Calum is right. The thread he started does warn people on dialup about the content. There's really no need for insults!
-
there is only one way to solve this... 9 rounds of bare knuckle boxing.
aynways.. calum, you mentioned that you didnt want L-User (his new name) to be a mod... welll he already said that he didnt want to be a mod.
the people that seem to want to be mods are
muffin man, thequirk, macman, stryker kinda.
-
My problem is that even with a screenshot thread, they should be linked... that way more people can look at them and I would be willing to post some of my own screenshots there.
But i cant join in because of the bandwidth problem, if i ever moderate the lounge, that thread will be fixed by me and kept that way.
But of cource the people modding the Lounge are:
Webmaster - Never here
Calum - Thinks its okay because he has been going there since the "beggining of it" and the images are in his cache
M0R - On Cable or somthing, doesnt care
psyjax - ???, Doesnt seem to care...
But there is one spare slot, maybe i should jump at it.

dude i never said your a bad mod, your one of the best, and you keep this place on the thin balance of sainity. WHat more could i ask but not excluding people on dialup!
Thats all i think should be done, and if im the only mod of the lounge, i can go into the moderator cp and disable images altogether in the lounge.... So go ahead... Im happy to mod the lounge... ;)
But dont take it as an offence, im always here and could mod the thing on my own with my rules so go ahead... do it, im happy for it...
Anyway, i pick teh quirk!
-
whatever.
for your information the shameless screenshots are now in the dead thread zone. if anybody starts a thread containing large images in the lounge, in any way then i will also dead thread them. The problem is that X11 is entirely at fault here, and i will get the blame.
if anybody has any problem with this i urge you to send a PM to X11 about it. (http://forum.fuckmicrosoft.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=private_message&u=00000625) I don't have time for this shit.
edit - and instead of slinging insults, x11, you could just have asked nicely.

see what those damn Integrational Polytheists do 'round here.
-
well. first of all, i think that the "Shameless Screen Shot Thread" should stay, it does have a warning. shit, why not start one that isnt so "shameless" where all the images are linked. second.. i vote for a fellow Mac Commando, Macman to mod in the windows section. (in a sick sick way, i like the idea of "mac" keeping windows in line ;) )
i dont really think blocking all images in the lounge is a good idea. the thread does warn you that it is not for dial up.

The thread warn's you.... and I.... urr... hehe... I hava a T1 :D
-
yeah well, my stance hasn't changed, macman for the windows forum!!!!!!!!! also, fucking, if it says in the title 'don't come here modem users - big images' then only a complete thicky would go there on a modem, either that or somebody who DOESN'T MIND WAITING FOR THE IMAGES!!!!!! and that's me a lot of the time so i know whereof i speak.
i think it's the height of stupidity to ban something like inline images just because one person wants to impose their monopolistic opinions on everybody else, but obviously i am ignorant, aren't i, x11?
-
long live the shameless screenshots thread, and thanks for takin it out of the dead threaders.
If your on dialup then dont go there! Make your own thread called "Shameless Screenshots for Dialup" and u can use links? Is there any problem with that? Not to my knowledge anyway.
ive got ADSL anyway so it makes absolutely no difference to me, im just trying to contribute a little more around here.

When are you going to learn that 99% of the "insults" from my keybored to this forum, are just jokes. I did not mean for this forum to become a "Democracy" as some people are calling it.
So fuck your image policy, I dont want the shameless screnshot thread in the bin The images should have been linked so everybody, even dialup users can go there. Hmmmmm that doesnt sound very "Integratonal" does it calum.
-
Ahh, your words hurt Calum, i think im going to run to my big daddy lawyer and cry with him.
No not really, your right, I am too much of a slacker to mod a forum. Hell, I can't even make a usable Operating System.
*Edit* I just looked in the dead forums and now I know what kind of stupidity you poor mods have to deal with. I really didn't know how stupid some people can be.
Also to answer the question before, I signed up when this site just got its forums, then i used them, I then stopped once I got my mac, and now I'm back

hey, i didn't mean to insult you billy g! i'm just naturally cautious that's all! and macman has been consistent for longer than anybody else who's a candidate...
as for X11, get fucked, dumbass. and that's a joke. ha ha.

fuck u skript0r... (read sig)

What the fuck happened while I was gone? Has the delicate fabric that is the MES Mods begun to unravel or something? Damn Calum and X11, your both acting like a couple of immature brats. It's an online forum.. people come online to relax for a bit and read, you take things a bit too serious.
And if this is your idea of a joke it went bellyup, because even if you two are joking with each other its still looks like two Mods arguing.
*Pulls out a mallet.*
Anymore posts like this one and your wedding tackle will gain a new dimension, the horizontal type! :D

We where both joking then, i have resolved it.
And where have you been?

I've been here all the time, just not posting really. Though in reality I've been doing lots of research and studying in the chemistry field. My latest projects have been...
Chlorate production cell (3 H2O + KCL --->Electricity---> KCLO3 + 6H)
Nitrocellulose sythesise being finetuned. (30ml H2SO4 + 25Grams KNO3 + 2Grams Cellulose(Toilet Paper) --->Wait 10 minutes---> Nitrocellulose (Commonly known at SmokelessPowder.))
Organic peroxide study.
H2SO4 production still (KNO3 + Sucrose --->Burning--->Funnel gas into H20----> H2SO4 + ?) Still havent figured out the waste products on that.
And my favorite attempt at distillation, distilling Nitric Acid! :D (H2SO4 + KNO3----->HNO3 + NO + Other waste.)
But yeah.. I havent been doing much with computers though. Go check my site (http://aaronennes.tripod.com) and see an Elftor comic strip! :D The www.elftor.com (http://www.elftor.com) site is being moved for now but really, check it out when it's back up!

Wow!
im more into electronics then chemistry but wow!

I personally feel that a Moderator isnt there to provide help but to be the enforcement of the forum. Delete shit posts, edit posts that are hard to read and whatnot. Most work by moderators are invisible although a truly bad post demands a proper edit with witty remark.
Thanks for the compliments X11.
