The Election

[ABMorales787]

That's one short paragraph on me.

 

[Coco]

Does anyone else notice the problem with this?

If there was a legitimate need anywhere, it would have been dealt with already? Wouldn't that also imply that there isn't a legitimate need for a moderator of the spam sections as it hasn't been "dealt with swiftly by the powers that be"?

Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm surprised that none of the "Fuck CoCo"ers didn't jump all over this.

I've already established that spam is one of the few areas with a true need that the mods completely overlook all the time. You'd have noticed that if you read the whole thread. Book This would be another example of such a section, but why bring that up? I don't want WZ Interactive. Trust me: If anyone else had the good sense to run for spam mod, I wouldn't argue with their belief that Spam Needs Heroes™.

 

[Hulk Hogan's Brother]

This shows how little you know about what goes on behind the scenes. The idea that IndyJon needs any help modding the MMA section is silly, while the WWE section could definitely use a mod that will guide conversation, which is exactly what Crock would do.

Well, if driving discussion is one of the criterias for modship, then I think that JW fulfills that idea in the MMA section. A part of this analysis is also based on the fact that I think that the MMA sections had two mods recently and with the retirement of Hiesenberg( Guy), JW certainly deserves the chance.

Also the WWE section is well served by Nick, Jack and Nate. Jack and Nate can both drive discussion and Nick does a great job of cleaning the section up while driving the discussion as well.

Your little analysis reeks of bias. You can write an entire paragraph about why Killjoy would make a terrific mod, but you can't come up with more than a sentence about why Crock shouldn't be a WWE mod or why Harthan shouldn't be in the Potluck.

You do not seem to be reading do you.

Crock would make a great WWE mod, if there is a vacancy. And as for Harthan, I haven't seen him post much in the Potluck section and therefore I do not associate him with that section.

Killjoy drives discussion in the TNA section and TNA has a vacancy as well. IDR is the only mod in that section. He could use some help.

Your group is a creepy little cult of posters that seem dead set on winning the election because it means winning. Truthfully, none of your candidates are even half as qualified as Coco, Crock, or Harthan.

And you are accusing me of bias.

Really I hope you are doing this to stay in the good books of Coco or someone because if you are not, you are borderline ******ed.

You really think HHF and MTM, guys whom I do not quite think should be mods of the sections they are running for, are less qualified than anyone else?

 

[Hulk Hogan's Brother]

Spam is the number one target of the likes of Bill Lesnar, Jenks, Kirey, and other such terrorists. If you think that section doesn't needs dedicated supervision, you're off your rocker. I question whether you really want what's best for the board at all.

I haven't ever seen Bill, Jenks and Jackiz ever post in wrestling spam. They can do what they want in the bar room, so no moderating is required there.

These guys earned their infamous reputations in the non spam sections, which are exactly the ones that need to be protected.

Thanks for supporting our cause.

 

[Coco]

The majority remembers nary an iota of what those guys did in non-spam. The recorded history will validate my argument.

 

[Hulk Hogan's Brother]

Bill and Jackiz got banned and imprisoned initially for their stuff in the non spam sections. From there, they went on to make alts or post porn which caused their perma ban. That is all there is to their reputation as far as the plebian task of modship goes.

 

[Coco]

Excellent. I'll handle their next alts when they arrive on spam soil. Glad we cleared that up. Thanks, bro.

 

[Hulk Hogan's Brother]

Or their alts can be handled by those who handled them before.

 

[Coco]

In that case, all business can handled by those already handling it. No new mod needed.

Shut it down, folks! Rattlesnake thinks the whole process is a waste of time!

 

[Hulk Hogan's Brother]

Nope. I think that we do not need a new mod for banning alts. Ergo, no new spam mod is needed.

 

[Coco]

I don't think we need a new mod full stop. Except for the spam sections.

Ahhh! Extremism!

 

[Coco]

Okay. That's not totally true. I think we need a WZ Interactive mod too. Go Sign Guy!

 

[JGlass]

Well, if driving discussion is one of the criterias for modship, then I think that JW fulfills that idea in the MMA section. A part of this analysis is also based on the fact that I think that the MMA sections had two mods recently and with the retirement of Hiesenberg( Guy), JW certainly deserves the chance.

MMA did have two mods when IC25 and Guy were mods there, but IC was simply a mod for the entire non-wrestling section. That was definitely Guy's section, IC was there out of respect for the job he did as an admin of the forum.

Also the WWE section is well served by Nick, Jack and Nate. Jack and Nate can both drive discussion and Nick does a great job of cleaning the section up while driving the discussion as well.

Nate's a fine poster, but Crock posts more than Nate. Also, Nate is married, has a child, and is a college student, which means there are going to be plenty of times where our friendly neighborhood Nathaniel will be busy.

You talk about how the MMA section used to have 2 mods, well WWE used to have 4 when Dave, Ferbian, Brain, and Jack-Hammer were mods of that section. In my opinion, that's when the section was at it's best.

You do not seem to be reading do you.

Giant paragraph where you praise Killjoy non-stop? Check
Giant paragraph where you elaborate why any other individual does not deserve the modship? Not... check.

Crock would make a great WWE mod, if there is a vacancy. And as for Harthan, I haven't seen him post much in the Potluck section and therefore I do not associate him with that section.

The Potluck section is for everything that doesn't fit in any other section. Harthan is a phenomenal poster in every other section, so why wouldn't he work out in the Potluck?

As for Crock as WWE mod, we discussed that there is potentially a vacancy. Having another mod that can drive discussion as well as clean up the mess would be tremendously beneficial to our site's most popular forum. I'm sure Nick and D-Man would love an extra pair of hands.

Killjoy drives discussion in the TNA section and TNA has a vacancy as well. IDR is the only mod in that section. He could use some help.

I don't disagree with this, but I think we're at a point right now where just about every section could use another mod.

And you are accusing me of bias.

Yes, because I have reasoning. You just want an ABC Party candidate to win because you're part of it, despite the fact that none of your candidates are as qualified as my three picks.

Really I hope you are doing this to stay in the good books of Coco or someone because if you are not, you are borderline ******ed.

Staying in Coco's good graces is not as important as getting a great mod for this forum. Coco is one of our most intelligent posters from every perspective, would be phenomenal at driving conversation, and would be able to make sure the spam sections don't have advertising, flaming, or prejudiced language. You seem to forget that spamming isn't the only problem we have around here.

There are two guys on this forum that can post in a thread and ignite a fire under the rumps of internet nerds everywhere. Those two guys are Slyfox and Coco.

You really think HHF and MTM, guys whom I do not quite think should be mods of the sections they are running for, are less qualified than anyone else?

Yes, they are less qualified than Coco, Crock, and Harthan. As I said before, Coco is one of our forum's most intelligent posters and we'd be lucky to have him as a mod.

Crock has been trying to break down the door to the Board Room for a while, and why he hasn't been able to is beyond me, poor timing I guess. He's a great wrestling poster and is a pretty decent guy to newer posters. Having him in a section in a section where our biggest problem is inexperienced posters making uninformed posts would be a tremendous asset.

Harthan actually has experience. He's been in the Board Room, he's done all the duties of a mod, and there won't be any transition period where he'll have to learn the ropes... and trust me, there's always an awkward transition period. Ask LSN or Nick, both are great mods now, but when they started they had their problems. LSN, for instance, was infracting posts that were over a month old and borderline spam at worst. It'll be nice to have a guy that can hit the ground running.

I haven't ever seen Bill, Jenks and Jackiz ever post in wrestling spam. They can do what they want in the bar room, so no moderating is required there.

Then you clearly don't pay attention much, as Jackiz posted wrestling spam all the time once he figured out he could say just about whatever he wanted in there.

And as for the whole do we need a spam mod debate: Nick, D-Man (I think), myself, and a few other mods agree that the spam sections would benefit from having a mod. As someone who doesn't really understand what moderating a wrestling forum entails, what makes you think that you know better than us, Rattlesnake?

 

[shattered dreams]

Jglass is cracking me up signing Crock's praises as a conversation driver in the WWE section. Crock hasn't posted in the WWE section since two weeks ago. There is a very obvious reason that Crock hasn't gotten anywhere and that is because he is a spam poster. If we are going to reward a spam poster then Coco trumps Crock pretty much across the board.

 

[The Crock]

***** please. Just because I haven't posted there for two weeks doesn't discredit what I did before that.

EDIT: And if I'm a spam poster, what could you possibly be? You've been around 5 months longer than I have, but have 48 posts more. Guess we're all spam posters, eh?

 

[shattered dreams]

Why is it crazy to support someone that is at least active in the section they want to be in? When is the last time you started a thread in the WWE section? What exactly is it that you did before that? Post about your desire to be a mod in the cage?

 

[The Crock]

I am active in the section. Pardon me for not going Killjoy 101 and thinking quantity over quality applies.

 

[shattered dreams]

Then you shouldn't have trouble telling me when the last time you started a thread there was. That is the premise of driving discussion isn't it?

 

[Hulk Hogan's Brother]

Nate's a fine poster, but Crock posts more than Nate. Also, Nate is married, has a child, and is a college student, which means there are going to be plenty of times where our friendly neighborhood Nathaniel will be busy.

You talk about how the MMA section used to have 2 mods, well WWE used to have 4 when Dave, Ferbian, Brain, and Jack-Hammer were mods of that section. In my opinion, that's when the section was at it's best.

Nate still does his job rather well despite being living with his partner, having a child and being a college student. And that has been the case for a long time, if I am not wrong.

Also, I am a regular at the WWE section and I really do not see anything wrong with it. To be more precise, I do not see how adding Crock or for that matter any other poster to the team would make it a better section.

Or to state things better, I feel TNA needs a mod more than WWE needs one right now.

Giant paragraph where you praise Killjoy non-stop? Check
Giant paragraph where you elaborate why any other individual does not deserve the modship? Not... check.

Just because I have written less does not mean I have not given reason for what I have written. For a guy supporting another guy's ambition to be spam mod, you sure seem to have double standards.

The Potluck section is for everything that doesn't fit in any other section. Harthan is a phenomenal poster in every other section, so why wouldn't he work out in the Potluck?

The same reason for which I do not feel HHF should mod the TNA section. He is a great wrestling poster but does not often post in the TNA sections. You need to be a frequent poster in that section to identify with it's problems better. Else it just looks as if you are just becoming mod for the sake of being a mod.

Tell me this, when Nick started posting well in the WWE section did you guys make him mod of the Cigar Lounge?

I don't disagree with this, but I think we're at a point right now where just about every section could use another mod.

But TNA needs it more. TNA is expanding itself and so posters in that section are bound to increase. It should at least have 2 mods. It gets much more traffic than the Old School and the General Wrestling or HOF sections wherein I feel that only one mod can do the duty.

Yes, because I have reasoning. You just want an ABC Party candidate to win because you're part of it, despite the fact that none of your candidates are as qualified as my three picks.

I chose the ABC party in the first place because I thought that most guys were mod worthy material.

Also, I have criticized my own guys in this very thread. I have praised other party members where and when they deserve it.

Staying in Coco's good graces is not as important as getting a great mod for this forum. Coco is one of our most intelligent posters from every perspective, would be phenomenal at driving conversation, and would be able to make sure the spam sections don't have advertising, flaming, or prejudiced language. You seem to forget that spamming isn't the only problem we have around here.

The implication is that every single administrator was a fool in NOT having a spam mod for so long?

Besides, it is not as if that the spam sections are not moderated. G-Mods and admins, some of whom moderate no one section in particular, moderate it. A mod exclusively for spam isn't needed.

There are two guys on this forum that can post in a thread and ignite a fire under the rumps of internet nerds everywhere. Those two guys are Slyfox and Coco.

Yeah, but one of them has to resort to personal attacks and trolling. Sly rarely insults anyone personally.

Yes, they are less qualified than Coco, Crock, and Harthan. As I said before, Coco is one of our forum's most intelligent posters and we'd be lucky to have him as a mod.

Crock has been trying to break down the door to the Board Room for a while, and why he hasn't been able to is beyond me, poor timing I guess. He's a great wrestling poster and is a pretty decent guy to newer posters. Having him in a section in a section where our biggest problem is inexperienced posters making uninformed posts would be a tremendous asset.

That's praise. Not reasoning why they are more qualified.

It could be said that HHF is a better wrestling poster than Crock. It could be said that Merk knows his stuff more about video games more than Crock knows about wrestling. It could also be said that VGAT needs a guy more than the spam sections do.

Harthan actually has experience. He's been in the Board Room, he's done all the duties of a mod, and there won't be any transition period where he'll have to learn the ropes... and trust me, there's always an awkward transition period. Ask LSN or Nick, both are great mods now, but when they started they had their problems. LSN, for instance, was infracting posts that were over a month old and borderline spam at worst. It'll be nice to have a guy that can hit the ground running.

So let's not have new mods at all. Being new to a job means nothing if you can learn the ropes fast. It's not a huge advantage, not certainly one that would render you twice as qualified as the other candidates.

Then you clearly don't pay attention much, as Jackiz posted wrestling spam all the time once he figured out he could say just about whatever he wanted in there.

And if a poster like Jackiz, God Forbid, comes into the forums even today with Coco as mod and starts posting similar threads, there is nothing Coco would do that existing mods won't.

And tell me this, what are the chances of having another poster like Jackiz? You want a mod for something that has odds of something like 10000:1.

And as for the whole do we need a spam mod debate: Nick, D-Man (I think), myself, and a few other mods agree that the spam sections would benefit from having a mod. As someone who doesn't really understand what moderating a wrestling forum entails, what makes you think that you know better than us, Rattlesnake?

Well, despite not having been a mod, I have very few infractions which suggests that I have a decent understanding of the rules. I know spam sections have few rules and a number of g-mods and mods hang out in the spam sections who have the power to moderate spam sections.. So the few rules that need to be enforced are enforced swiftly.

It's that time of the year that college students are cracking on final papers, projects, tests, stuff of that nature. I wouldn't be surprised if Crock was a little too busy with real life to keep up with his posting.

 

[The Crock]

Then you shouldn't have trouble telling me when the last time you started a thread there was. That is the premise of driving discussion isn't it?

Been a while, no doubt. Not that it matters, I could post one up right now and it wouldn't make me any better or worse for the job. It's not all about posting threads. Quite a few current mods barely do it and barely did it before they got the bold name.

That WWE post was over 325 (mostly spam) posts ago ...

There is something fitting about a bullshit excuse for your bullshit idea.

When did I say that?

Then tell me why I got so much shit for not posting.

 

[The Crock]

Truth. I get on to shoot the shit and keep up with the election, off my phone mostly too. Should be free for the next while, though.
