[Cena's Little Helper]

Get your vote on!

 

[NSL]

It has to be Lee. He saved the fed, ran the entire VG tourney, and then basically headed up wrestling by himself until new mods were added.

 

[FromTheSouth]

I voted for myself. Look at the Lounge.

I actually voted for myself every chance I got.

X is the best mod.

 

[Thriller Ant]

I have to decide between FTS and NSL. These two have both worked their asses off to drive discussion in their respected forums and it really shows.

 

[X]

I don't want to be one to brag, but it's become a long-running joke that no one usually has to do much modding because I usually take care of most of the spam.

In the single month span of August to September, one of the busiest times of the year on here because of Summerslam, I handed out more infractions single-handedly than every other mod combined.

There's only one vote here people. And it's a vote for Dusty the Cat. I mean X.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

I vote for that guy, you know the one, he does all that stuff I don't see.

 

[IrishCanadian25]

Man, this just reminds me how solid the staff is.

X is the senior guy when it comes to infractions and other board related issues. In addition, he posts a lot, and in all sections. He's the very definition of what we look for in a moderator.

JMT and FTS have taken historically low-traffic sections and turned them into some of the most popular. The Cigar Lounge was always a popular spot for a few people, but under FTS's leadership, it's become a forum mainstay. MMA was a section we considered closing or making a subforum of the Sports section until we gave it to JMT, and now it's one of our stronger forums.

Lee continues an epic 18 month turnaround. From banned to clemenced to mod to P-Mod, Lee also continues to lead the e-fed, almost drama free, and also keep traffic in the Video Games section.

KB is a model of consistency. His PPV reviews are terrific reads, and he's always among the first to provide insight and brainstorms on forum improvements. He's truly become a trusted leader on the forums.

I don't think you could go wrong with anyone, but these are my top 5 in no particular order.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Gotta support my fellow New Englander, although JMT really also deserves mention for the amount of work he does with the MMA section.

 

[The Doctor]

Lee is a great mod, but I still contest the view that he is keeping traffic in VGT.

I went with Sidious. I had my resons, but I don't remember. He's good.

 

[Ty Burna]

I voted Lee, because in a offshoot way, it's voting for myself as a WZCW Mod.Oh and I suppose Dave and Phoenix count as well in that.

In all seriousness, Lee has done a shit ton of work across the board, and I respect the hell out of him.

 

[Dave]

It's gotta be Lee. The guy has done so much this year.

 

[Phoenix]

Lee has dedicated so much time to the forum, he even tries to do stuff when he's not online. He lives and breathes the forums and deserves all the votes he gets!

 

[NSL]

I wish voting was public here...

KB + Sam + jmt = 0

Sid = 3


Really?

 

[IrishCanadian25]

I wish voting was public here...

KB + Sam + jmt = 0

Sid = 3


Really?

It's really a shame, you're right.

 

[gd]

Lee

 

[48.7 is Approximately 49 Times Better Than You]

487?

 

[Ambiguous Turd]

I wish voting was public here...

KB + Sam + jmt = 0

Sid = 3


Really?

So i shouldn't get any votes because I'm new? Seriously, why bother even having our names up if they don't count because we're newer?

 

[IrishCanadian25]

So i shouldn't get any votes because I'm new? Seriously, why bother even having our names up if they don't count because we're newer?

Nobody said you shouldn't get any. It's merely a case of some really great moderators being shut out.

That said, if you'd like your name removed, let me know. I'll get right on it.

 

[Coco]

FTS runs a hell of a ship, but I'm probably swayed because his forum is funner to read than most as a result of it not being overrun by noobs.

X is everywhere. Dude's like the wind.

KB contributes a bunch and I like it.

It'll probably be between them for me.

 

[NSL]

So i shouldn't get any votes because I'm new? Seriously, why bother even having our names up if they don't count because we're newer?

It's nothing against you. Just shocked that those guys have 0, more than the fact you have 3.

 

[Mr. TM]

TM even has an admirer.

I haven't voted yet, Im not sure who to vote for.

 

[It's...Baylariat!]

Uncle Sam has ZERO?! So does Becca? Some British bias here?

 

[Tastycles]

Lee is the forum's Cinderella story so he gets the vote. I can't vote based on who actually moderates, because I don't know anything about it.

 

[Lee]

It's between me and X here.

Sid has doen great in his time but as a full year effort we have:

X who has returned and is now a G-mod again as well as discussion rpetty much everywhere.

For me I would say I saved WZCW (as IC about the probation), modded the wrestling forums like no tomorrow before Fear made his blitz. Plus my NWS efforts before I was made wrestling moderator, I drove discussion in video games for teh first half of the year and now the likes of Doc, Dave and Dagger Dias have taken this mantle.

Honourable mentions

Can you remember when it was only Becca who posted int he cigar lounge? FTS brought it up two notches.

The work KB does goes largely unnoticed, great effort.

Sam's work on the tag tourney went by, but he deserves a vote.

NSL/TM have a good moderating future ahead of them.

JMTs work in MMA has been immense.

CM had a great first half of the year but has kind of vanished as it were.
