Hmmm...I see something on the control panel about editing avatars. I think I'm going to give myself one just for the heck of it. The rest of you have to earn one.

Once they've all figured out how to use the mod control panel, who's up for a pool on which mod bans which other mod first?

I see pluses and minuses to this system. For one doing this can create a "clique" mentality between the mods, a "I have the power" feeling. This can cause major problems with the boards dynamics if they start bragging and spreading that mentality when they make any of their posts. People that feel they should have been included in this group may start to resent those that are part of it and feel they have a need to speak out against them at any time.
I've seen this happen on my own board that I run when I got a couple mods. Those that thought they put the time in and deserved to be a mod started bitching and complaining and put anyone that was a mod (including myself) under a microscope, to where the mods felt like they were walking on eggshells to prevent major disruptions. Although as being someone that has been in Skydogs shoes I completly understand and commend him for making a decision like this and look forward to seeing how it goes. I know I've questioned some of these recent bannings, and hopefully now clearer minds will prevail (since you won't have as much pressure just on you to make a decision). |

SERIOUS:I intend to work hard to ensure this goes as smoothly as possible. I joke a lot, but im taking this quite seriously(as are the others). If you read the last few threads about modding, i havent exactly been Skydogs biggest fan on some decisions. But i think he picked a group that has people on all sides. He has people who are quick to punish and cautious to, always posting or strong silent type. And he has some from his side of things(in general) and the other side of things. And i think the new system of a suspension(if another agrees) then discuss longer suspension/ban or no punishment is great. It serves as a quick response to situations while preventing a hasty ban. From speaking with the others privately already i know this will require all of our efforts, but it seems to me they are willing. Obviously i cant show you what we have discussed, but coming from someone who hasnt loved some mod decisions recently i think it is going supremely well...regardless of which side your on. I hope i can best serve the forum in accepting this position, and any concerns you have are appeased over time. But so far i am very suprised at how much i like the direction the group is taking.

Good move, this board is a big community and i'm happy to see more members taking part on the decisions. I never had any problem with moderation myself and i doubt i will in the future no matter who is the mod, but i'm happy with the decision.
Congrats FN, i also think that your action helped to this decision. A revolution attempt made possible a change in the board gobernment, take a look at how most of the modern democracies started, this board is a perfect social experiment on a lot of ways.

What I don't quite understand is why Blade6119 and JeeberD have modding abilities. Not a knock on these guys, but they wouldn't be my first choice as moderators. The others I do get. Blade6119 seems like the type that may overreact way too quickly and JeeberD wouldn't even attempt to suspend/ban anyone.
Just my take, but I am actually excited to see how this play out. Like TroyF said before, a bad situation would make for a great parody song and it already inspired flere to create a masterpiece.

I think Blade6119 surprised me the most. I am also thinking the other two outstanding invitations are EaglesFan27 (who would be a great choice) and Frogman. If I had to pick a couple of moderators I would like to see, those two would be at the top of the list.
My only knock with EaglesFan27 is that his dynasty posts are short.

And im far more likely to complain about things(like the gay comments or my disdain for schmidty) then to take mod actions. Schmidty is as safe as everyone, and the gay thing is just a preference. As a mod i have to be level headed, where before i could do whatever i wanted. I hope i come to make you happy. And i just caught kwhits quote of schmidtys comment... im glad to see hes happy for me...

I just don't get the reasoning for Blade to be a mod. I will say this: I would never want to be a mod, as I don't fit the mold, but sincerely don't think Blade does either. As many times as I've seen him get emotional (as I do too), act childishly, insult people, etc., I think he is an EXTREMELY poor choice for a mod.
Everyone else, I whole-heartedly agree with being put in as mods. Anyway, I will try to bury my vendetta with him, but I will certainly not kiss his ass if he starts to throw his "power" around (which I fully expect to happen).
