becoming a moderator

[a fan]

How does one become a moderator?

[jarmo]

That's a question I get asked quite often here.

Here's the official answer: I pick people who I think could be moderators and then ask them.

None of the current moderators has asked me in advance.


The moderators are also people who have been visiting this board for quite a while so they know how this thing works.

Can I be a moderator?

[jarmo]

Can I be a moderator?

No.

Can I be a moderator?

No.




/jarmo

Why not?

[jarmo]

A. We're not adding moderators at the moment.

B. I don't know you well enough to consider you as a moderator. In other words, you haven't been around that long.

C. You asked first.

D. See above.

So if someone asks to be a moderator, they automatically can't be one?

What about later on when you do need moderators and I've been around?

[RichardNixon]

Jarmo- I only have one week to live, as I ate Fugu (Japanese Fish) that wasn't cooked properly, so can I be a Moderator, Please?!?!

No, but think about it. None of the current moderators have asked me.

Who knows. I'm not psychic.

You should be an admin for that.

I find it amazing how so many people want to become a moderator so badly. Apart from having the utmost privilege of being hated by hundreds of people and not even being paid for it, I can't see many advantages to that situation.
Oh yeah, of course it allows you to vent your bad mood on poor unsuspecting members, but that's about it.

I want to be a moderator very badly so I can use it on my resume. I find that a BA from UMass Boston just isn't cutting it in the job market ...

But being a moderator at the most prestigious Guns N' Roses board on the net might give me the extra edge that could get me into Harvard Law School...

I just want to have power.  I don't care if I'm hated, that'll happen anyway.

[jarmo]

I just want to have power.? I don't care if I'm hated, that'll happen anyway.

There you go. Now you can't be a moderator here.

If there was a microscopic chance before, it's gone now.

So was I about the microscopic chance.

What about me? I ate poison Fugu and have less than a week left...

I guess there is no sympathy for those with a dream in heart.

[R4tfink]

Id be doing a lot more than staring at a computer and looking at a GNR site for news and info on a GNR release if i was you RN!

Do a bungee jump or something...

[N.I.B]

If you want to be hated i can fix something up. You dont need to be a mod

[Christos AG]

OR you can send $10,000 to Jarmo's bank account in Switzerland and you'll automatically become one...

[KeVoRkIaN]

I was a Moderator at about 3 different sites which did have it's perks, at this site I cannot see what the real perks would be.  Being a moderator is quite a bit of work mind you.  Not just anyone can be one.  The bad ones don't last long.  Enjoy being on this site first before wanting to do all the work behind it.

Oh, I didn't know we had to say it too... I thought it was too obvious...

In your case it's too obvious.

Look who's talking... 

[Chris Misfit]

Being a moderator is quite a bit of work mind you.  Not just anyone can be one.

Yeah, sure.

Arron - haha, You're a bastard. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

[jarmo]

Yeah, I only started this thing so I could yell at a Greek.


Go to work! Where are those t-shirt prices?



/jarmo

[Chris Misfit]

The Greek cries so easily. I love the bastard though, and one day I will kill him.

[Jim]

Being a moderator isn't great all the time though...

One time...I went to the bathroom, to wash, after dinner, and I found my flannel, in the toilet. Another time, I went, into the toilet and all the brisles, bar one, had been cut off from my toothbrush. Another time, Chris put bleach in my shaving cream, and...jarmo stiffled a giggle.

If nobody gets that joke (read: reference), I'm not going to be friends with any of you.

[Christos AG]

Blow me, both Jarmo and Misfit.

Prices will come this week.

[GypsySoul]

Blow me, both Jarmo and Misfit.

 ?  You're already trying to replace me??? ?

[R4tfink]

Blow me, both Jarmo and Misfit.

You have to pay them for that.

Prices will come this week.

Yes, and while your at it, send that beautifully tanned greek goddess you have been promising me for a year!
And dont send yourself by airmail in a blonde wig!
It didnt work last time and it certainly wont this time.

Arron - haha, You're a bastard. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Indeed i am, you taught me all i know...now if you dont mind...go die!
Eat some poison fish or something!

Oh no wait...your Death comes this Thursday...St Paddy's day...why give the Irish an excuse to drink? Doesn't make sense to me??

Chris Misfit will consume 26 pints of Guinness this Thursday...
The worse thing is.....i'm not joking.

[AdZ]

why give the Irish an excuse to drink? Doesn't make sense to me??

This way, when they're lying in the gutter on thursday, we can call them stupid irish twats without sounding racist for once.

Since it's Saint Paddies day tomorrow, I'll ignore these?
The drinking problems in Ireland are not funny, drinking in Ireland by under 14's alone is rising sufficiently, binge drinking by underage girls is through the roof and don't get me started on the over 18's

Sorry... 

Blow eachother, Jarmo and Misfit...

Hello. This is not the real RichardNixon poster. I am his brother and I am just using his login name. He died today because he ate poison fugu. Hi last words were "all I ever wanted in life was to be a moderator at the here today board." But he never was. I hope you all are happy that you didn't grant this dying mans wish...but it's not to late to redeem yourselves...if you make me, his brother a moderator.

We didn't think he was serious about dying.  We are sorry for your loss.

[RichardNixon]

Your condolence is appreciated...I also have a bridge in the Bronx I can sell you.

Good im glad.

Next time RN, try not to eat the poisoned one.

R.I.P.

Does that mean we can delete RN's username now J as he is in affect dead...?

[N.I.B]

we could have a vote to elect either the dead RN to be a mod or his little brother under a new username. 10 bucks most memebers will prefer the dead guy.

[KeVoRkIaN]

I prefer D, the Bon Jovi Nazi!

Lol D!

So is that "Fugu" also some cat with screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdo?

[Dr. Blutarsky]

It would be an honor to be a mod, but I have not enough time to do so.? Full time job,wife & all.

And being an original GNR fan from the beginning , I am too old ( 32 ).

Pass the baton to the younger generation. They have the time and energy to keep the GNR  flame going on and on and on and on and on and on and on .................
