Who gets buried first? James Brown, or Anna Nicole Smith?

is brown still not buried? fuck... what's the problem with them?

Myrth. Definately Myrth.

Anna Nicole Smith is being embalmed. Dunno if that changes things.

They do that before they bury you.

Me.

"Embalmed" is not "Enterred." Still accepting wagers ;)

Myrth was once a moderator for the NationStates forums that has achieved a specific notority, though I'll be damned if I know why, as I don't remember much from the time I was here when he was here.

Anna Nicole. If someone doesn't steal her corpse first.

Now there's a twist! Quadruple the weird, have the same guy steal both!

...what the...hell?

He's an enemy of furries?! :mad: (Not that I'm a furry, mind, but I anti-furries annoy me.)

And it's posted by Myrth himself. One assumes he would know. Unless he was being sarcastic?

Indeed. Also, here's more:

He was a notorious invader, IIRC. Also, part of the notoriety was due to his name being used as a joke poll option, but he also got in trouble for an "accidental" abuse of his mod powers. Something about having used information gained via one of his mod powers in an invasion. It was supposedly accidental, which I believe although others do not. He turned himself in when he realised what he'd done and resigned as a mod shortly after.

I wpouldn't trust that if I were you. However, I do seem to recall something about it from here.

Or at least someone using his name, which, here in internetlandia, means it could be anybody.

I'd heard it was because he deleted a bunch of (apparently insubstantial) complaints made through the "getting help" page about him.

Don't take that as fact or anything, it's just what I heard at the time.

When i die, you can burn me. I'll have my ashes on sale on Ebay.

hmmmm so that's why Myrth resigned.

10 NS Bucks on James Brown

hmmmm so that's why Myrth resigned.

Nope, just too many cookies.

I never understood why Myrth was so popular as a poll option. Now I know.

Actually we're both correct, but you more than I. As I understand it, the spamming involved was part of the invading game. ;)

Report on Moderation Error
Recently there was an incident wherein a moderator failed to follow correct protocol. Because we believe in an open and accountable system of moderation, this incident is being reported here.

What Happened: A Help Request was filed alleging that the nation Myrth had engaged in spamming in the Pacific. Myrth, who is a Game Moderator, responded to this complaint via telegram, and closed the Request in our moderation system.

Why This Was Wrong: Myrth's error was not that he dimissed the complaint (for any moderator would probably have acted similarly), but that he dealt with it at all. Moderators must keep their in-game nations and moderation duties separate, and as such he should have simply left the help Request for another mod to deal with. This mod could then have made an independent and disinterested decision.

It is important that players have confidence in our system of moderation. You should all know that we have a correct protocol in place to prevent abuse of moderator power, and be able to trust that this protocol is followed. For this reason, I believe significant breaches of protocol, such as this one, should be made public.

Myrth is a very good and hard-working Game Moderator (witness the most recent Mod Olympics), and over the past several months he has made literally thousands of moderation decisions. It is a great shame to have to isolate a single bad one like this, and I only do so because I feel so strongly that it is necessary to uphold the integrity of our entire moderation system.

So the thread has been hijacked by a mod who isn't around any more? My fault for making him a poll option. I didn't use Pancake 'cause she's too young to have that happen to her.
