I think I should be made Mod of the general...alot of the Mods don't understand the needs of the General forum nations like I do...they are Nationstaters...you know...that other forum off the index...I am in tune with the people...I can also tell the difference between good and bad spam...vote for me and I promise that I won't kick out the Nazis...just tell them to behave :wink:

Your penchant for posting in the wrong forum will no doubt prove a great detriment to your cause.

Also, spammers and thread-hijackers do not good moderators make.

You lot are such mini hitlers sometimes though...I would be firm but do it with a smile on my face 8)

But will you promise a chicken in every pot and a tiger in every tank? :P

Asking to be a moderator (publicly, anyway, you can still put your name up by telegramming existing mods about it) is the surest way not to be made one.

You lot are such mini hitlers sometimes though...

Your penchant for blanket statements also doesn't help. ;)

True, perhaps... however...

Neut - banned for spam/griefing in the General forum - 06 July - 13 July

Surely you remember this ban... I doubt anyone who received a forum ban of any kind has a chance of becoming a mod.

But will you promise a chicken in every pot and a tiger in every tank? :P
And a whore in every house?

Actually, the dirtiest players make the best referees...and I was a ref in my sport so I know. I don't believe Beeks would be such a bad mod as you believe, Slag...

Why did you move this to the Mod forum where nobody comes but Narcs...let the people decide and move it back to the General...also...for those that say....blah blah...people who ask for mod blah blah :roll:

I would be the best mod you could possibly have for the General...forum ban or no...I still think I would do a good job...I have a good rapport with most of the nations and could moderate not with oppressive tactics but with gentle nudging...anyway...thats my two pennys worth :wink: 8)

So, was your Anti-Nazi Brigade that gentle nudging you're so adept at?

Why did you move this to the Mod forum where nobody comes but Narcs...let the people decide and move it back to the General...

Only Narcs, eh? Then what about rational people like Kandarin and Cogitation? What about Ackbar and other people who contribute to discussion on mod policy? What about the many, MANY posts on this forum that OPPOSE mod activity?

Direct your friends from General here; however, if we're really going to let the people decide, the people need to know where to go.

The anti-nazi brigade was boredom neut...nothing more nothing less...I'd like to say it was for the common good...but I just got bored...does that mean i'm going to be packing bags at the supermarket for the rest of my days :wink:

I just think that a less heavy hand is needed ok...if it's not me thats moderating it fair enough...but this off topic rubbish and the lock down of threads that have legitimate reason to be in the General...the 65 page rule which to be honest has created more spam than stopped it...these issues need to be addressed...If you take a look at the General...90% is spam...the difference is...sorting out the good from the bad :D

Im fine, and you, anything new in your neck of the woods, I am finally happy, I am about done redoing my Bike, got it started for the first tiem in a year today, still sounds good, gotta put new brakes on it, got eh mastercylinder bled today, gonna get eth tank painted wednesday, I will post a pic of it when it is done.

on topic,
Beeker, by making this thread it is my guess you pretty much killed your chances, perhaps you should establish yourself more in teh gmae before asking somethinglike that,

Neut - banned for spam/griefing in the General forum - 06 July - 13 July

Surely you remember this ban... I doubt anyone who received a forum ban of any kind has a chance of becoming a mod.

well.. in some cases they even make good forum admins ;) (I know one from somewhere else :wink: )

one could argument, that by having been banned, beeker knows what it is like and thus could relate to someone who is on the brink of being banned better than a mod who has a pristine history to his/her name..

beeker is one of the general forum (as far as I have seen) and would probably be accepted as such should he become mod

Hmm...sounds like you've been busy fixin' up your bike. Love to see a pic when you're finished. Glad you're happy. 8)

Anyways, nothing really new in my neck of the woods. And I'm fine. But I really must post in this forum more. :P

Talking of off topic...

PAZ...CAN YOU TAKE YOUR MATES ELSEWHERE

Go Beeker!

Oh that's right, you're British. It means something else over there. :lol:

Really though, you should be pleased that I did vote for you. :P

Actually, I think a general forum mod is a good idea.

I have to go Beeks. Good luck! :D

They should have mods for each individual forum...at the end of the day...like I said...the forum mods at the moment arn't regular General posters and are not known to the majority of nations there...whenever that green nation appears on the top list of nations...everyone shuts up and runs for cover...I want to change that mentality... :D

I do more lurking than posting, and more often than not in the General forum (really must get over to the other forums some day :) ), but I have to agree with Beeker. Seems to be a lot of heavy-handed modding lately.... There is a place in the world--even in NS--for inanity..or insanity, whatever name you want to give it. 8)

I don't agree. The mods had a huge purge several weeks ago and now seem a bit more tolerant, the few deletions I've seen recently were to people who pushed their luck far more than those deleted earlier. Not that the mods are angels, I just think they've had their fill of blood for a while.

Guess I define "lately" more generously. Aso am thinking of all the thread-locking for lack of content (one poster's content is another's trash).

Have noticed that this surge in moderation isn't restricted to NS...mods everywhere seem to have their panties in a knot.

I like the idea of a general forum mod with lets say a more liberal brief...
woops, the L word.

I think, if you've been acting fair and "just", not only in terms of RP but also in terms of fairness and the spirit of the game, then that's what they'll decide when they make you a mod, not because you have lots of friends or have opinions about such and such.....

I think, if you've been acting fair and "just", not only in terms of RP but also in terms of fairness and the spirit of the game


not because you have lots of friends or have opinions about such and such.....

Surely these two tie in together...by entering the fairness and spirit of the game you make friends and share opinions between each other :D

I think I'd make a better mod, but that's just me.

That's true, but not everyone must be your friend to have a good opinion of you. I, for one, have still hated a person greatly, but "professionally", if they do good, I'd still say as such.

For example, I think you do a lot to foster closeness and cooperation within the game (the Dear Beeker thread, for one example), even though I think sometimes you're a bit of a jerk (that drunk/duped up thread being the most fresh example) sometimes. :roll:

Exactly Ade...and this is the reason why I would be beneficial to the game...I am only human after all...and therefore not likely to god mod my power within the game...the point I am making is...good or bad...I make a considerable contribution to the forum and most of all...I make it fun...a mod with a sense of humour you say...now there's a novel idea :wink:

yes i think a general forum mod is a good plan (i suggested this a few months back),

but beeks (darlin you know i dont mean this in a bad way) can you honestly say that you wouldnt get p*ssed off, bored, irratable etc.. as in the past. I wouldnt like to be on the wrong side of you on one of those days. All in all i think maybe you would make a good mod, if you could detach yourself from situations a little more.

I think I'd make a better mod, but that's just me.

Voted nay, simply because this thread was made. ANyone who chooses to ignore the fact that it has been said about 50 times one should not ask in this manner to be a mod should not be a mod, IMO.

I will vote any mod who doesn't ban me.

Put short:
Your insulting in this thread drastically reduces what miniscule chance you already had, hence shooting yourself in the foot.

If you're unable to have realized that before posting, then it's highly unlikely that you would possess the intelligence or maturity to make a good mod.

Who are these people I don't know...randomly posting comments on my intellect? :lol:

This is exactly why I wanted this on the General...where my supposed lack of intelligence and blatent immaturity could be put to the test by people who actually KNOW me!

Post sarcastic comment here

Seriously Beeker, I do think you would make a good Mod, you are very involved in the game, to useful effect, and you don't seem to have any enemies. Plus as far as I know you have a clean history. Just be a bit more discreet about your ambitions.

I said that you insulting people on this thread makes you look like an idiot.
I don't need to know you to see you insulting people on a thread where you're trying to claim you're reasonable and responsible.

Insulting people on a thread where you claim to be a reasonable and responsible person is idiotic, and makes you look like an idiot, regardless of your IQ, or how many people think you're cool.

Guys, chill. Having a flame war in the snipers' own territory is pretty silly.

And where exactly did I insult someone? If you meant Our Earth...I was not insulting...I was stating bare fact from previous encounters with him...if you would like to confuse the two.....then perhaps there is room for one more idiot on this thread...like I said before...I know alot of people on here...you can take your foot from your mouth now :D

Guys, chill. Having a flame war in the snipers' own territory is pretty silly.
I wasn't flaming.
I pointed out logical facts.

I didn't directly call Beeker an idiot.
I told him: "Insulting people on a thread where one claims to be reasonable is an idiotic action, and makes one look idiotic.

I didn't go OMFG!!! J00 IDIOT!!!


One's a logical statement not an insult.
The other is an inane insult.

See the difference?

BEEKER FOR MOD!

...you are so far left you dissappear from view...plus you are a narc
Both of these aren't facts boyo, they are insults, flames, Ad Hominem attacks.

Oh look, yet more flaming and Ad Hominem attacks.

Why is that Neut...I think that a fair mod should be neither left leaning or right leaning...but on the fence...voila! :D


It wasnt about that part...it was the "volunteer...Police...don't make good law enforcement" part ;)


So, by your own words, you shot yourself in the foot...whoopsi.

I think I'd make a better mod, but that's just me.

Our Earth...you are so far left you dissappear from view...plus you are a narc...and narcs dont make good Mods...just like the volunteer(Special) Police...don't make good Law Enforcement officers :wink:

The strange thing is that I'm so far left sometimes and so far right sometimes that it amazes even me. Every person in this forum has some opinion that is not perfectly centered and even those who are perfectly centered can be prejudiced against those farther toward the fringe. I say I would be good at the job not because I have beliefs that mesh well with the average poster, this is not politics, I say it because I believe I could carry out the duties of the position evenly and fairly without the prejudice of my beliefs.

As for being a narc... I brought your actions to the attention of the moderators because I felt you were truly out of line in your comments. I have told you many times that as a person and in casual conversation I find you a nice guy and fun to be around. I'm amused at this because the term "narc" originally comes from a branch of undercover police officers intended to infiltrate and expose narcotics manufacture and distribution.

Spoffin: Montmirail would be an interesting moderator considering his even handed condemnation of everyone he meets. :D

The other is an inane insult.

But an insult none the less....and why is it different to...

then perhaps there is room for one more idiot on this thread

I have specified nobody...Boyo...does that mean you automatically assume it is you...perhaps you have an inferiority complex...sorry...just idly speculating...but people do alot of that don't they :D

Knock it off...the both of you.

Beeker, I cannot help but wonder if you are hurting your chances of ever becoming a mod through your statements here and elsewhere on the subject. They did, after all, say that asking was a bad thing.

...you are so far left you dissappear from view...plus you are a narc
Both of these aren't facts boyo, they are insults, flames, Ad Hominem attacks.

Oh but they are boyo...Our Earth is as liberal as they come and he was the one that got me forum banned...so go figure...not insults...facts...

Oh and I like the way you have edited your insulting post about me...covering the crime...or do you just want to get out of Dodge before I rip apart more of your inane arguements :D

I'm not sure wether to be flattered or angered by your opinions of me Beeker.

I just think I would be good for the job...and if it came to a democratic vote...you could guarantee I'd come out smiling :wink:

Now get a sense of humour people :D

Good to know.

And I'm sure you'd come out well if the users got to pick the moderators. I'm still at a loss as to what criteria are used to determine candidates for moderators except that I know that neither you nor I would likely be on the list because of our limited attendance to the NationStates and International Incidents forums.

if I've got my facts straight.. Beeker didn't ASK to be made mod.. he opened the poll in "General" and it was moved here.. I see this thread more as finding out how the "General"-posters would feel about having Beeker as a mod and not as an application of any sort..

just my two Euro-Cents on that point

I understand and agree with your sentiments. However I cannot help but worry about what would happen in General with closer mod attention. Hmm... perhaps we should campaign together to get both of us made into mods and get us specific moderator control only in General.

Excuse me, but as the one actual Mod and the one that told you two to knock it off, please, KNOCK IT OFF. Continued flaming/flamebait will get neither of you anywhere except a one-way ticket to a forum ban.

Discussion is one thing, flaming and flamebait are not acceptable.

Sorry Neutered Sputniks, I was just trying to clarify what I had posted and why it had been editted, not trying to entise Beeker.

Beeker, final warning - knock it off. You are attempting to irritate Tower of Babel, otherwise known as "flamebaiting."

Should you continue to flamebait, you will be forum banned for a week.

(Deated cuz Neut beat me to the punch)

As it is, the website is not a democracy.
The mods and admin look down on self promotion, and this thread, regardless of it's intent is just that.

As for trusting general forum to elect someone, alot of people trust General about as far as they could throw it.

I think that was a little more lighthearted. Perhaps I'm wrong.

Doesn't matter, he's losing anyway.

I cry Flamebaiting!!....warning over here please Neut... :wink:

This post is a joke and is not intented to offend...please insert humour pay-per-view card here....

I know beeker on the general forum and he hits on every single female there :lol: so you'd know he wouldn't be impartial toward males :) . not to mention the fact that he even promotes himself for being a mod. :roll:

I think the best mods are the people who play the game not for power, but seriously and try to learn from it.

Those who follow the rules and make friends.

Those who ask for power (HITLER) are doomed.

I think I'd make a better mod, but that's just me.

Or Montimiral.

I agree, Our Earth and Montmirail would be suitable, you too Spoffin. Beeker however, has acted in a somewhat disappointing fashion, I do not know why he loses his cool like this from time to time. Perhaps people are correct in saying that he would make an unreliable candidate.

Hum, well, that mod who posted her pic was kind-of takeing over being the general mod . . .

And besides, we have enough inactive mods as it is. Just get rid of them and make new, active ones.

Noooo! I'd vote of Beeker, Our Earth and Montimiral, because I like them.... but Spoffin should never be mod because he'd delete me for my political views!

Moderators cannot abuse their power in the manner you suggest. The other Moderators would take issue with it very quickly. Besides, not all of them have the power to delete nations, and only admin can hand out IP bans. Thus it would generally take two or three of them reaching a consensus before a nation is deleted and an IP ban handed out. You would have nothing to fear from any grudge Spoffin may hold against you, his hands would be tied.

:D

:D

What are you smiling about? :D

I don't really know Beeker...but he does do good threads in the forum! :D

:D

What are you smiling about? :D

Why, your beautiful smile darling.

Anywho... One thing I've noticed is that there are often around 4 or 5 mods on at about 10:30 PM Pacific Standard Time and continuing through 11:30 PM and sometimes later. There are times earlier in the day such as between 5 PM and around 8 or 9 PM in which few or no mods are online. This is a fairly distinct trend that I've noticed and whenever the thought comes into mind I cannot help but think that I could fill that void since that 5 to 9 slot is when I am most active.

As far as I know, all the Mods are from N America, and so there will obviously be extended times when several are active, and none are active at all. It would be useful to have a couple of Mods who are based in Europe, to cover the band of timezones which contain most of the other 40% of players. I would humbly suggest then that the next couple of Mods to be appointed should be Europeans.

Nope, here you are wrong. One is an Aussie, and at least two are from somewhere else.

Hack's already addressed that previously in the thread.


I believe we have a couple Aussies (Max, [violet]-I think, dont quote me, Enodia) and GMC is in the UK.

Still, too many mods from North America for my likeing . . . We are all corrupted!

That depends upon what, exactly, you mean by "corrupt". :wink:

If you mean "corrupt" in a naughty way, then I can go fetch one right now. :)

Why, your beautiful smile darling.

:D Heehee.

I do think a general forum mod is an excellent idea. General is a place where idiots like me go to let off steam and get a little silly, and perhaps shouldn't be held to the same standards as the other fora.

I do think, though, that perhaps someone a little more level-headed might be more appropriate.

Urgh. I feel like such a traitor. :(

I thought "Luna" was the nickname for "Luna Amore." :?

30% of the vote...i'll take those odds...considering the other 70% don't even know me and are making assumptions due to this post...which...incidentally was supposed to be in the general forum anyway 8)

Except that requests concerning moderator actions, and who should be moderator don't belong in General.

Furthermore, it seems that some people are having a terrible time staying on topic...

Hey Beeks, I voted fer ya!

There are things that don't belong in the general forum? Wow, I didn't know that. Beekers actions in there would consistantly lead me to believe otherwise....

I couldn't think of a worse person to be a moderator.

Looks like the mods need to find someone who knows the General well. Someone who could use their "power" to keep it clean. Someone who's on a lot.

Bas would be a good choice, but he's on vacation.

*votes against Beeker.*

Actually I believe Neut and Hack have been spending time in General. I also check in quite a few times a day myself. General is not in the abyss, we do look after it ;)

Peace,
Stephanie.

... General is not in the abyss... ;)

Peace,

Perched precariously on the edge perhaps..... :wink:

You know, I think there are a lot of people who would be very happy to see the General forum go back to the way it was with no regulation except for the truly bad things like tubgirl and excessive swearing and spamming.

Beeker seems like a good, sensible, fair guy...give him the role!

Well, still, if you were to make a mod . . .

And I've noticed more mod interfearence in there. Good job! :D

I'm certainely one of them!

Surely some regulation is required. Some topics are simply not in good taste. I am not saying all "not nice" threads should be locked, because then no-one would be able to bash America, but you cannot turn a blind eye to, for example, anti-semitism.

Nah, I like the mods in there, makeing it PG. My little brother gets on sometimes, and I'm embarrassed for him to see what's on there.

Yet again I am being dissed by those well known General forum goers...

Actually the admins have just appointed another new mod. I think we have it well under control now. Thanks for your offer to help though Beeker.

Peace,

No worries Steph...oh yeah...seen your pics...you look pretty hot by the way :wink: 8)

I would say dangerous. :P

You're right....I'm never in General. WRONG! I don't post in that hell-hole that is General, but I read through the myriad of crap you post there at least once a day. The tons of spam you leave, as well as your attempt to conduct a surrogate social life through the General forum does not qualify you to become a moderator.

Knock off the flaming/flamebait.

<- Is pretty sure he's not even considered when it comes time to pick a new mod. :(

But this way I have more time to goof off, so it's cool. :D

Does it matter if you are going to become a mod or not? Seriously, you didn't join the game with a goal to become one of the few and awesome mods, so why pitty yourself for not being one?

Power isn't everything. I like what I am now on this game. I have respect. That's all I need.

Ah...a lurker...then your opinion has no bearing...moderation involves interaction and the moderation of posts...since you don't post on the general...it is none of your concern...thank you for clearing that up :D

Hrm. I believe my nation is being abused here. :) I can't decide whether my esteemed region founder is taking a pot shot at me, or complimenting me. Corrupt in a naughty way, eh? Better than being corrupt in a boring way, I suppose. mmmmm, Naughty.... :twisted:

It's not a power thing. I joined the game because a friend pointed it out to me and I joined the forum because I was bored and had temporary access to a T1 connection. Since then I've made a lot of friends and, I think, contributed a fair amount to the General forum. I've brought a number of new players into the game with the help of some others from my region. I've done my part to keep the forum clean and civil. And on top of and above everything else I think I'd actually be good at it. I'm responsible enough, I'm dedicated to the forum, I know the rules and I'm fair. I would like to do my part to keep the forum as a nice place so others can have the good experiences I have had.
