Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted July 19, 2004 It's pretty funny that discretion is spelled wrong. ... ...no, it isn't. Forget I posted that. I copied and pasted as well, so for once it wasn't my spelling mistake. I could out campaign anybody. I'm great like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Highland 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2004 Elections can be rigged and ballots can be spoiled. Besides, we have no way of enforcing a result if the mods decide to rule against the majority, so in the end an election would only be a PR bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Art Sandusky 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2004 (raises hand) Time away from the board over the last week and looking at a vastly inferior one has given me great perspective on things.

Red Baron 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2004 well I guess we won't hear about Life Of Agony anymore at the music boards. Every topic, he manages to throw Life of Agony in there.

Mods aren't moded because they're well liked. they become mods because they can do a job. it's a thankless job. If we elected people then think what would happen. If we did this in the past both you and I would be mods. We'd have ruined the board and no one would post. It's a bad idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the flip side, it might be an effective way to curb the pompous attitudes that certain moderators tend to have here.

Honestly, it's always the people that think they're on the "Shitlist" that want these changes. I'm not asking them to kowtow to the posters, just maybe be a LITTLE more poster friendly. Like maybe, if someone were to ask *that mod* a question about what he/she did, instead of him/her screaming that we're not worthy of his/her answer and only that only his fellow mods and the admins are good enough, he/she can answer the question.
