I suggest Parratoga as next forum moderator. There is much to be done in the field of NationStates, and he/she/it seems to be doing the job fine.

/me is not Parratoga's puppet.

We're not looking for mods right now...

...but maybe later. I like Parra. ;)

She may be a racist freak, but we have a lot of Commie or Femmi-nazi mods, so, why not a regular Nazi?

:shock: Wow! Thank you! I'd like that.


I like you too SLAGlands. ;)

If you have to ask, you should not be proposing The Parrot for Mod.

Edit:
Pah to you too, young lady!

Well, if I was a mod right now I'd do something about that "RubbaDuck" fellow that's spaming the General forum as we speak.

:D

She'd do a better job than a certain other female mod we know... On a side note, what do you get when you cross Afghanistan with a Femmi-nazi named Stephani?


Care to back that up big mouth?

I didnt realize Stephistan was a Femmi-nazi...I thought I was the Nazi Mod...sheesh people, make up your minds...

OK, so Parratoga will be the next mod. :D

As long as she kept her personal life out of it.

She probably spends more time logged in that just about anyone.

Okay, no favors :wink:

Makes sense to me. Yarm even you would have to admit for someone like me that has "extremist views" I don't try shoving them down other people's throats like some that have simular views to mine do.

Well this race traitor thinks that anyone with extremist views should not be Moderating anything, this would include people like myself.

Speaking of Race Traitors, I was called one last night by the Nazi I had admired and loved the most. That would be akin to someone who was well respect in the Christian community telling a devout Chrstian that they’d commited the unforgable sin. I fear he maybe right.

Oh, sorry. Didn't mean to ramble.


I think some of the mods do have extremist views, they just happen to be more tolerated extremist views.

I think none of the Mods are really extreme at all...it's just that since we deal with all extremes, we're considered to be extreme. That's the reason I'm still called a Nazi - even though I have not once posted my personal ideology on the matter...

Parra for mod! Then perhaps me. :D

You don't have to post your ideology because we can judge you on your actions.... like calling something obscene that isn't for the sole purpose of moral justification in destroying it.... think book burnings..

So, judging on ALL my actions...do I really appear to be a Nazi?


Lets see, I enforce the rules. Does that make me a Nazi?

:idea: No, I don't think you are a Nazi... but I fear that if I call you a simpleton I will be smitted for it, if I post something you disagree with I will be smitted for it, so you tell me... what does that make you...

Have you been smitted yet tonight? Because I sure as hell have disagreed with a lot of what you've had to say tonight.

:idea: I've had two Mods threaten to kick me, my flag changed, and my thread locked... I think that qualifies for being smittenederey, or at no least knocked around...

So, it's the Moderator's fault that you broke the rules?

No, it's simply because of the rules that we brake them :P

I vehemently say no to Parratoga becoming a mod. I wonder be absolutely disgusted with the NS admin if they did do this - but then it's not my place to make these decisions and so if it does occur, who am I to complain?

Stepping out of the Mod role . . . Moderators are appointed on consensus. The NS Admin seek the advice of serving Moderators before making any decision. Few players would have anything approaching unanimity of opinion behind them. And knowing a lot of stuff about the way the game works remains an advantage.

Yeah that's nice. But what does that have to do with what I said. I said that if Parratoga was appointed mod then there would be nothing that I could do about it so I might as well live with it. It doesn't matter how they get elected, the fact remains that they do and I have no say on the matter - especially considering I'm not a mod.

OK, so ordinary players have no say in the matter. But don't you feel that the Mods appointed so far have all been quite reasonable and reliable individuals? It may not be a democratic system, but it works well and that should be a consolation of sorts. And I believe that that will continue to be the case.

I'm not disputing the fact that man, but not all, mods are reliable and (especially) reasonable. However, all I was saying that even if a person, whom I am totally opposed to becoming mod, becomes a mod there jack I can do about it. I just have to accept it.

Why should Parratoga be a mod? I'm not particularly bothered by the idea, I just don't see why she deserves it necessarily.

Well you could turn into a whiny idiot and have an unfortunate encounter with Sgt. DEAT. :P

And I once again point out that we're not looking for new Mods. We've got a few newbs, and are sufficiently staffed for the time being.

There you go then

Good.
I make no secret of my dislike for the parrat, so my remarks should be taken in context (Sputnik), but. The problem with Parratoga as a mod is that she is erratic. Her 'politics' are not relevent I suppose but a quick view of her recent posts shows that she is not stable emotionally. I believe she would start out as fair-minded as possible but if she continued to engage in the general, her temper might get the better of her and she would be tempted to use her mod powers. Now, I know that applies to all mods, but like them or no, there actions do not seem to be motivated by how they feel. Steph, for example, seems quite able to argue in the general and not get 'moddy'. I don't believe that the parrat would be so self controlled.

Yep, she should be Mod. after all this time and being nominated for it more than once.

Except, as mentioned above, moderators nominate and vote on a new possible mod, not the rest of NationStates.

Fine, I was just putting down an opinion.

If everyone who was nominated more than once became a mod, we'd have a whole lot of mods... ;)

It's bad enough having a mod that many suspect is a nzi. We can't have a full-blown nazi as mod. Remember that parratoga is a satanist and will be in a position to take revenge on her enemies.

Letila, how could I take revenge on my "enemies" by being a mod huh? Unjustly delete someone? If I did abuse my mod powers they'd strip them from me in a heartbeat and obvious undo any abuse of power.

I don't consider anyone to really be my enemy here on Nation States, your just a bunch of people (some nice some not so nice) that I hang out with and chat with online, in order for me to count someone as an enemy to the point where I'd seek real revenge I'd have to know them in person and they'd have to do me wrong.

Well considering what happened to me I think just about any one would be shaken up and upset after being so viciously betrayed and heartbroken by someone they loved....and of all places on the Nation States forum!

Yes, but I was nominated by a mod at the time. Amerigo the mod. And before that I was on the short list when they first started appointing mods.

Now, I've been sitting by on this one for a while, and I want to chime in briefly.

We are not looking for any new mods and will not discuss the merits of Parratoga (or demerits), however, I am sure that she would make a better mod than many others in the forums.

Especialy better than those in this thread that assume automatically due to one's political/religious beliefs that:

One will censor others
One will abuse their powers.
One will impose their political beliefs upon others


I find this automatic assumption that Parratoga would do these things simply because of her political beliefs and religion truly obscene, and think that such accusations say far most about the accuser than her.

Parratoga for mod!@ :D

Well...I personally think it'd be a sign of the end of days, but hey it'd be interesting at least. :wink:

Since it's obvious that no matter how many times it's posted that we are not looking for candidates, this thread is locked.

If you wish to discuss Parratoga's qualities and deficiencies, feel free to begin a thread in General devoted to that.
