    I'd follow the Evenflow way. Let the board flow with the posts and only step in as a last resort.

    The farmer was wise. Damn shame the other mods around him were idiots.

    I should be Chup's replacement. All the other mods are well liked. I, on the other hand, am not. So, I would bring balance to the forge ...er force ...er board!

    oh, no you're not. You're all green. I'm only a little over half green.

    Shit, Baba could max out the green boxes if he had 32,000 friggin' posts. I demand a ratio analysis.

    I'm sorry to say, but I think we actually like Jenee less, believe it or not.

    Clearly I am still the best choice to replace Chup.

    As a former troll I know how trolls think thereby giving me an edge over all who enter the forum, or..... to put it in geek terms you will understand... it's like in Beverly Hills Cop where Eddie Murphy's character gives up a life of petty crime for a career in law enforcement thus making him a supercop! Yeah!

    Plus I will have the ability to warn Tamar, something everyone will enjoy.

    Dude, don't leave the board!

    Not over this anyway.

    :(

    As for the issue, I have to disagree. I think it is pretty cool that moderators can flame and troll in the Red Room just like everyone else.

    Mods should not be set apart or made to be exceptions. Mods should just be there to facilitate the functioning of the board, nothing more or less.

    And it makes WF unique among message boards.

    Yeah, El Chup has made some calls I would disagree with. But how many people have actually been warned or banned by him? He's not as bad as you are making him out to be.

    Heck, mods don't really do anything on WF anymore. I was only a mod for less than a month but all I really did was move an occasional thread here or there.

    There is no power to abuse, really. AFAIK, moderators can't even ban people automatically. The most they could do is hit somebody with a bunch of warnings.

    They're not bad, just misunderstood. Kinda like lima beans or adjustable rate mortgages.

    You think mods can warn Admins? :lol:

    And warn me for what?

    It's nice to know that even when I am not here most of the time, people still think of me so often. :wub:

    That's one warning for confrontational bitchiness.
    I'm closing this thread till everyone can talk civilly to one another.

    So what if they can? A warning around here is the equivalent of getting slapped on the wrist by Stephen Hawking. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but the wordforgers who freak out over a warning need therapy, STAT! No wordforger who doesn't want a banning could possibly ever get a banning through warnings.

    Well, it is possible to pound someone with bullshit warnings in order to trigger an automatic ban, but I've only seen it used when no one with manual banning powers was online.

    Mods, close this thread otherwise I will be GONE in 2 hours. Yeah, 2 hours, why bother with a 24 hour ultimatum, that really drags on.
    2 hours from now. Which coincidentally will be lunch time so I'll be going anyway. :finger:
