mark:

so we would need to hold the civ2 chat in the civ3 room for me to be able to moderate it? or did you mean the civ2 room?

Would someone plaese explain exactly how what H Tower is being asked to do will affect our game?

well, if you mess up the options in a poll, i'm supposed to be able to fix them, although i don't have that ability yet, but i sent markos a pm and hopefully i'll be able to soon.

also, if a thread needs to be topped, ask me to do it, not ming. actually, since i read all the threads in this forum, you could just put a little note at the bottom of the first post asking me to top it.

and if we ever get a turn chat, i'm supposed to make sure that everyone stays within the rules, although i'm pretty sure that we'll never have a turn chat.

my job won't really affect the game, but it will make forum requests like topping threads much easier and hopefully faster too

Does this mean H Tower decides what is Spam

and what are good quality +1 posts?

H-tower, could you make-top a thread with all gouverments in the second demogame up to date?

Also I think the history thread deserves to be topped

I don't think they'll give him a banning-rod, if that's what you mean, Hydey.

that's right -jrabbit. i can't even edit posts. so if you made a post that said "H Tower is a bastard", i couldn't do a thing about it except go crying to ming
