This is a complaint... with a suggestion. (sorry no compliments besides the obvious like great site, hence why I'm here so much).

uhm so anyway this is about the 5th time I've wanted to post a reply in a pretty damn funny thread only to get to the bottom and see its been closed. What pokes me oddly after that is a day later I'll see a funny reply by a mod (cause they apparently can post in closed topics) saying just what I would've wanted to say.

So that was the complaint, the suggestion (and don't all thank me at once) is to create another level of poster, with no mod privledges or anything yet the ability to continue posting in closed topics. I mean if the mods can post private (yet public) messages to each other in closed threads why can't we all share in the fun?

Here is a few ideas for the new level of user if you can't come up with any:
Threadjacker
Lastwordwinner
MyDadCanBeatUpYourDad
IeatCheese
UPnP (universal poster n propagator)

Thanks for reading.

well, the problem is picking the people. It would create different 'classes' of people, and mods and admins would be flooded all the time with people asking to be in that group, why they arent in that group, why so and so is, because of <insert any reason here>.

VERY good point heinrich, heres a tip: DO NOT choose me!

^^

Class system.

BAD.

As for the mods posting in those threads.. it's less that they can post in them.. then it is they can open them.. post.. and reclose.

Same thing I guess.

too many account classes as it is...

In my case.. if the thread is closed.. it's usually too much hassle to open it to throw in a parting shot. Course.. if I'm the one closing.. BAM!

I can click the "closed" image, and it opens the to the "Replying to" page

Maybe its just because of those God-like powers I have

cool.. learned something new.

Wow, you guys took this suggestion more serious than I would have thought. I have a hard time transfering a sarcastic tone to text. In fact I half expected this thread to be closed with mods just posting back and forth to each other

HSDEMONZ · « **Reply #8 on:** March 11, 2004, 04:54:00 AM »

well.. we gotta at least make it appear that we considered it...

moistness · « **Reply #9 on:** March 11, 2004, 05:04:00 AM »

So....................when can i expect this new status then?

How to become a Mod (...the best guide so far) v1.0
by mrRobinson

1. Take a red pill (any should suffice). The goal here is to confuse your brain into not being able to make the distinction between what is "real" and what is "not real".
2. Practice the ancient art of blood letting to help meld your spiritual side with your mortal side. This enables you to feel more God like. (this is why you see many mods mention God or religious passages, etc.)
3. When you see a thread you think should be closed, or think a mod will soon close it, post CLOSED in there first and then when a mod closes it, it will almost seem like you are the one who did it.
4. Kiss up to all mods EXCEPT one. This will be the one you hope to de-throne and take the place of. This will require a bit of social engineering and you may have to bait your target into writing stupid things which could be difficult.
5. Eat an apple a day, with a bag of cheetos.
6. For all that is good and holy in this world, NEVER, and I mean never, use the "scene's" name in vain.
7. Mod your xbox. Or at least be good at pretending like you did. For a nice example, see this.
8. Sleep 3 hrs a day, at most. This will help condition your brain to be in the correct state of mind for closing threads and banning users.
9. Desolder the eeprom from your xbox motherboard and mail to xantium for his collection. (no one knows why he collects them, and never ask!)
10. Never ask directly to be a mod. It will happen when your time is right.

As you can see it is pretty difficult to be a mod. Good luck on your endeavor.

Edit: Oh, and I asked this before but never got an answer.... moistness, what is your problem? I'm referring to the rabid sheep that now lives amongst my nightmares. I just ordered a 10 foot diameter dreamcatcher to hang on my ceiling to prevent that damn thing from gnawing through me every night. If you have a drop of decency left in you, you may consider changing your avatar to something a little less poltergeist like.
