Ah yes, you are correct. If I may offer an excuse, I haven't spoken Deutsch since my last class in the language - 16 years ago. And I wasn't very good at it back then, either.

[img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/sad.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":(\" border=\"0\" alt=\"sad.gif\" /] You seem to ignore the (sad) truth: when a guy becomes a mod, it changes his mind and he automatically turns into a filthy bastard. This is 100% sure. Examples are numerous. Ageing mods have their physical shape changing too. Their gradually become fat while hunchbaked. They die shortly afterwards they start loosing teeth and becoming bald. The average mod life expectancy is ca. 4 yr (after their mutation), which is short even when you consider that they do not work as much as us - normal persons.
For this reason, they regularly have to recruit new members or should I say pich up new victims. Perun is doomed. Sad but true. [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/sad.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":(\" border=\"0\" alt=\"sad.gif\" /]


Also, I, JackKnife, am an idiot who says mean things about moderators when they have the power to edit my posts.

Teehee.

Not that I have anything against Perun, but could somebody tell me why we're considering making him moderator? Is it just because he's a smart, nice bloke who is always online? Or is there an actual perceived need for more moderators because the current moderators aren't doing an adequate job of keeping dsicussions polite and intelligent?

I don't think its true that we have a need for more moderatoes, and while I agree that Perun is a smart, nice bloke who has consistently interesting and often funny posts, I don't think that's enough reason to make him moderator.
 
I may be wrong, but I see it as a matter of time zones.

The American time zone has 3 moderators:
LooseCannon - Doing a great job
SinisterMinisterX - Doing a great job
Eddie's Lil Helper - Not alway able to be there

The European time zone has also 3 moderators:
The_7th_Son - Not always able to be there
Real World - Not always able to be there
Maverick - Questionable moderation, and won't be there forever either

When you compare, you realise that the GMT/CET zone needs another reliable/trustworthy moderator.

I thought of Perun because he's been on this board a very long time and usually has very reasonable (even if sometimes a bit harsh) comments to make. You may or may not agree with this, but, unless you provide an alternative, I think honestly that Perun would be an excellent moderator with respect to the rules of moderation that are currently being applied.

I rest my case. [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/sleep.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"-_-\" border=\"0\" alt=\"sleep.gif\" /]
 
I pick up the case.

[!--quoteo(post=130480:date=Mar 3 2006, 03:52 PM:name=Maverick)--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE(Maverick @ Mar 3 2006, 03:52 PM) [snapback]130480[/snapback][/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]...and won't be there forever either...[/quote]This premise is irrelevant. This can be said about all of us, even mods.

To macunaima: don't look for a problem where there is none. (Or is there?)
 
I had a private conversation with LooseCannon, and we were able to agree on the things Maverick mentioned: The BB needs another European moderator. The problem LooseCannon had with the whole matter was this:

[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]but, unless you provide an alternative,[/quote]

LC believes that we should hold "general elections" for another mod in the European time zone(s) like those we had when the Moderator Squad was elected, i.e. anybody can candidate (maybe this time we'll have to include the rule that (s)he has to live in the GMT/CET/East European zones, because otherwise the whole thing would be deprived of it's point) and has the same chances to be elected- so the whole thing runs down to fairness to all. Right now, there is only one candidate, and you can only choose pro or con. There are many positive comments to this here, but I'm putting up the thesis that if another regular and well-known member here would be proposed, he would get a similar approval ratings. If you think I'm wrong, prove it!

Since I have no natural, unnatural or dynastic claim to the position of a moderator, I think to take me into consideration at all is already quite cool. I also appreciate the fact that my mate LooseCannon stated repeatedly that his concerns are not directed at me in person but at the circumstances.

But now, I am only a normal poster, and I have no say and no right to say anything about any decisions on this subject. Anything else in this story is up to the Mods and Monkeys, and what they say shall be written and shall be done.

I wasn't "looking for a problem." I was looking for a justification because the only one I could come with off the top of my head didn't seem like a good one. But Maverick has provided what I think is a good reason for thinking that we need a new moderator who lives in or near the GMT time zone. Ok, so we need a new moderator; I'm convinced. And frankly, though the idea of elections doesn't seem like a bad one, I honestly can't think of a better candidate that Perun.
 
I have already stated my views about Perun but this post is about something much more serious.

The IMBB is closing down and in the future will be a fanclub only forum. This means most of the "n00bs" will have to pack up there and probably join other boards like this one. I say we brief ourselves for an attack, and quickly. We don't want to be overrun by these idiots so need to prepare for the onslaught.

(No surprise either that the IMBB closed down because the moderators got too lazy)

That was not really the action I was thinking of, but a couple more wouldn't hurt. I think we may need to do something to the entry criteria. Remember that if some of the good posters come here, it will be an advantage to the forums, but the bad posters are just a waste of server space.

Maybe we could have an entrance quiz... like play a 2 second clip from "Justice of the Peace" and see if they get it correct [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/tongue.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":P\" border=\"0\" alt=\"tongue.gif\" /]
