True enough.

Mini-Ming, that was good.

Congrats to Urban Ranger. I'm confident he'll be a fine moderator.

I'm equally confident that the additional person-hours will be much welcomed among the Mod Staff.

Now somebody give Asher his meds back...

Ben Kenobi · November 3, 2003, 15:56

"Spiff is too diplomatic and non-trolling."

I'd disagree, with just the threads on abortion. Again, all this proves is what Ming says, no mod will please everyone. You can do worse than having Asher against you as a mod.

Trying to show your tough side, eh MtG

Wont work, though. We all know you're as soft a roasted marshmallow

Az · November 3, 2003, 17:06

Ahh, you've gotta love Apolyton! It's better than any soap in the world!

Congratulations, UR!

rah · November 3, 2003, 17:38

Yeah, I'm quite amused that someone would start a hate thread about a new mod. Maturity abounds.

Gee... all of us had made some enemies in the past before we became mods... I guess you are going to hold UR to different standards

It sure sounds like you have something against him personally

And since this isn't a democracy, it doesn't really matter if you don't understand the choice. This decision was made after much deliberation of the management here. They obviously disagree with your opinion.

You seem to have already pre judged him. Most wise people would wait and see what happens before deciding if it was a good call or not

First... Locutus and Solver already are on the staff.

And as far as Imran goes... he has also had run in's with people on this site before... so why do you hold UR to different standards.

When I was first selected... people didn't think it would work... even set up hate sites against me.

When MtG was selected, there were some people that thought it was the worst possible choice, and he has proved them wrong.

I'm a firm believer of seeing what happens before I make a judgement... you should as well

Welcome to the team UR... we can use all the help we can get.

I have no enemies Ming. Everyone loves me. I never get in any flame wars.

I want to be moderator!!!!!!!!

Naah, just my disinterested in the opionions of my lessers side.

Dis · November 3, 2003, 17:45

also I don't think someone who is that much of a radical lefty should be a mod.

I believe a mod should be someone with middle of the road politics like Ming, rah, or MTG.

And of course- ME!

Dissident for Moderator!

But you are a freakiing maniac.

rah · November 3, 2003, 17:55

And he forgets the first rule of selecting mods.

People that ask to be mods are never asked.

Nikolai · November 3, 2003, 17:56

A very good rule!

Unfortunately, it appears Urban Ranger has already become contagious with the disease that makes moderation so dangerous--Mingitis. Due to difficult-to-understand reasons, Mingitis causes the left eye to repeatedly wink. Although there are no serious symptoms, occasionally muscle buildup in the eyelid becomes so heavy (in the case with the person the disease was named after, Ming) that it becomes difficult to be held up.

Sadly, there is no known cure to Mingitis. If one is revoked their moderation priveleges quickly enough, the case can be prevented from fully developing, but no preventative or curative measures can otherwise be taken.

-Jrabbit · November 3, 2003, 18:00

Moderate and middle of the road?

Ming and rah think all posts should be right-justified.

Oh, and Diss -- Clearly, you need enemies.

So...
I'm tired of your self-righteous nice-guy crap.
And your pathetically cutesy avatar.
And your football picks.

(If we all start flaming you incessantly, you might make Moderator. and if not, we can at least say we tried.)

Asmodean · November 3, 2003, 18:02

My God, you're right, mrmitchell. I retract all my previous words in this thread. UR is perfect for mod

Asmodean

rah · November 3, 2003, 18:03

@ mrmitchell.

Ming · November 3, 2003, 18:11

What's so funny

Nikolai · November 3, 2003, 18:18

Nothing! Nothing at all!

*Thinking: Please, please, don't hurt us...*

In answer to Laz's question: A quick trigger-finger.

That's the bunny. I can see I'll have to add querying what training is given to mods to the list of "topics on which discusion is forbidden at Poly."

That puts it next to male body waxing. God, this site is weird.

Immortal Wombat · November 3, 2003, 19:17

Male body waxing is forbidden?

HAIRYSEE!

asleepathewheel · November 3, 2003, 19:37

congrats

Tuberski · November 3, 2003, 19:58

I see no problem with UR......

ACK!
