The who should be Mod and Mod Issues Thread

[Sister Fracas 5]

Who are you again?

[JohnR! 5,495]

But was it a mistake?

Or was it just a part of your nefarious scheme to be installed as the new CEHST Pit overlord?

All those denials of ambition, playing nice with others, making sense suddenly takes on a wholly different complexion. When viewed as a smoke screen, obscuring the plotting behind a smiley face, it all becomes clear.

Or not.

It would appear the lady doth protest too much, methinks...

That was not an advertisement. Let me be clear I do not want to nor would I accept my parties nomination

I think being a Mod would mean you can't really participate here Like I like to do, plus I am too much of a rebel.

Think about. Say Mr. Big Dog and I got in to a heated debate. emotions ran a little high, and then he came back with something really really out of line How could I then turn around and take Mod action, without starting a revolt.

Familiarity breeds contempt when you have to crack down on a friend.

I agree. Going from troublemaker to mod would be difficult. It's much better to keep the option open to attack or insult those who deserve it.

Why would anyone want to do this? Many of you are highly fancied and would do a wonderful job I am sure.. What is the draw?

Suspending and banning the people you don't like.

[spookyturtle 9,465]

Let me be very clear.. I did not have

Wait that is something else.

Trust me I am sooooooooo not interested.

A. It does not pay and why would I help someone else manage something making them money for free? The only reason someone would do this is ego, which should disqualify you right away. It's a catch 22. I have commanded over 150 men and been a manager of many more for many years. Leadership is a freaking headache and I want no part of it .

B. I am the way wrong personalty type . I am a goof ball. even when I am serious, I am seldom serious

C. You can't have fun in here and be the person that has to administer discipline. It has never worked in the history of man and will not work here

D. All the Cabba chicks cept one despise me, they would test my limits immediately and the justice would be swift and drastic.

E. MBD, and Marvin are good contributors, all of you would miss them

F. Writing clear legible warnings and having a good command of the English language are a job requirement

G. "You are smart chick and even being a female, you should have still been smarter than that" would not be appropriate warning language

and last but not least--They already got too many Mods causing problems and don't need another

F would really kill you. You'll have to go back to school for a couple of years before you could be considered for the job.

I'd vote for you.

I thought you were Sister Fracas too?

*Warning I am about to be serious*

I am glad someone understands. INMHO if one becomes a mod, they can't act the fool here anymore. If I can't act the fool, I don't want to be here . That's for real. I have had enough power in my life that being a Mod would hold no special thrill for me. I have no desire to be a mod what so ever, unless it is going to pay 75K+ a year. So please everyone. I have made it clear. I would suck at being a mod, I don't have the personality for it, I am sure the band of 7 would agree.

The reason I have been trying to color inside the lines, is because I feel like they are making a good faith attempt to stop the petty BS that was going on, they have put forth some effort and time. Kathryn made a very very good post explaining in great detail, why they have to be aware of stuff, that none of us think is a big deal, but others that do not know us, could see it pop up and form a very negative opinion of VJ.

I feel like they extended a very genuine olive branch. The fact that they, let that 100 page thread ramble on is proof. Are they perfect no. maybe it's just the way I was raised, but when someone really listens to you and tires to make things better, then I think it's only common decency to so the same in return. I truly feel that almost all of the old timers, although we play fight, and get under each others skin, truly like each other. I think the smartest thing to do is act like adults, police ourselves and don't give them a reason to come in here.

The Sister is most definitely not a newbie.

But if you want to try an initiation, you go right ahead. I have and I have emergency services on speed dial. Should be fun to watch.
