Thanx, and to all that voted for me. :)

[DarK ShadoW]

Congratulation for all the new Mods..Those who missed up , better luck next time..

Why are some Mods with blue names..What's the difference?

[Archangel]

There is no difference. Some just identify themself with red, some with blue.

Congrats to the new mods, better luck next time to the ones who never made it.

[Barack Obama]

Congrats to all new mods.

Heh, Fable is a mod. Congrats to him especially. Damn, all my GW friends are becoming mods...

[Retrospect]

Congratulations new mods! Have fun banning me!(when the time inevitably comes)

And those who missed out...have fun flaming me!

[Northern Lights]

Congrats to all new mods.

Heh, Fable is a mod. Congrats to him especially. Damn, all my GW friends are becoming mods...

That's why you don't become a mod, it is because you lie. You don't have any friends, silly. :P

[Crazy Jamie]

Now I just have to think up a new name. Shouldn't be too hard. Post in the mod forum a bit and we'll think something up for you in no time ;) :D

[Tome]

Congrats to all, expecially my buddy Cole :D.

[Kevin]

Ah well, it's nice to have been recommended though. :)

Congrats to the new mods. I've seen SR and Fable around, and I'm sure they'll do great. I don't know you Castlecole, but I'm sure you'll do great as well.

Tough luck Spike and Tome. I hope you two fare better in any future votes.

[Ford Mustang]

[krillin six dots]

Ha, who nominated spike, he's such a spammer, anyone that voted yes on him shouldn't be a moderator.

[Spike]

Lol, right as you call him a spammer he spams....Nice Spike... :D


Are you implying I am a spammer, well everyone spams, just some people dont consider it spam, only a **** would consider my post spam, I was expressing my love to KSD, its called free speach, it was in know way pointless, now go lick your cherry dick, good day.

[Spartan III]

Yes i am, as well as a few other people. Your right, everyone spams, just not as much as you do. I'm sure you were expressing your love to him, then why don't you do so in a PM? And there is a difference between freedom of speech, and spamming. And i would ask you to keep your sexual slurs to your self. "Good Day."

[Crazy Jamie]

I'm sure you were expressing your love to himKSD is female.

And guys- this thread is for congratulating the new moderators. If you want to bicker do it elsewhere.

Stop kissing ass and acting like a mod. It's one post.

And Gamer+, thanks for giving me my crack up of the day. You will become a mod when pigs fly.

[Ruffryder123]

Well congratulations to all the new mods. Have fun telling people the proper ways to do stuff on this site that you do stuff at.:D

[Northern Lights]

Every time I hear people congratulation Fable I crack up.

[Frogkitten]

Congrat's to all new mods. I thought you had to have been a member a little longer than fable is to be a mod? Now what's so bad about Fable :D.

[John Paul Jones]

Congratulations to all new moderators. *woot woot*. Sorry to those who did not make it. You guys will make it sooner or later. *woot woot*.

[Falco]

Congrats to all of the nearly month-old Mods.

(Why are we still congratulating the February mods in March? :))

[Northern Lights]

There are no March mods yet, we have to continue until there are.

Now what's so bad about Fable

:rotfl:

[Frogkitten]

No really what's wrong with fable i have not yet felt his wrath of <insert> yet, is it really that bad.
Oh and better luck next time to the mods who did not make it.

[Crazy Jamie]

Why are we still congratulating the February mods in March? Mod votes aren't monthly- we have mod votes as soon as we've got the required number of nominations (which depends on Vash's mood- usually five). We've had a noticeable lack of nominations in the past month.

[Cecil DK Knight]

Is Vash being neglected again? :(

[Beowulf X]

I thought you had to have been a member a little longer than fable is to be a mod?

Nope, we have no requirement for how long you have to be a member. Just get 300 posts, follow the rules, and act like you're at least 16, and you're eligible to be a mod.

[gamerperson55]

lol does this mean we can call the new mods...n00b mods?

[Retrospect]

lol does this mean we can call the new mods...n00b mods?
Sure... why not.

[shortkut]

lol does this mean we can call the new mods...n00b mods?
no, only mods kan

[Frogkitten]

Man i wanna be a mod so i can tease new mods that are n00by but ill get teased aswell:(. How do you stop being a mod do you get voted out or do you quit or do you get replaced if a betetr person comes?

[shortkut]

Man i wanna be a mod so i can tease new mods that are n00by but ill get teased aswell:(. How do you stop being a mod do you get voted out or do you quit or do you get replaced if a betetr person comes?
quit, not be aktive for a while, do inappropriate things and get demoted

[Frogkitten]

What's the difference between co-modding and just being a mod of a forum. What powers do mods get?
And i still wanna know what's so bad about Fable

[DesertEagle]

yes and whats the difference between smods and mods

[Northern Lights]

Nothing, Fable and I are friends... he thinks. :D

If you co-mod you mod a forum with another person, if you are voted to mod a forum it means that you are the only mod. Same powers.

Smods can edit user profiles and mod every forum.

[shortkut]

smods kan ban people too

[strewart]

How do you stop being a mod do you get voted out or do you quit or do you get replaced if a betetr person comes?


quit, not be aktive for a while, do inappropriate things and get demoted

What happens if the forum you are modding is inactive and gets deleted? Do you get another one, remain a mod of nothing, or become a member again?

[Northern Lights]

You become a Mod In Waiting which means that you have one month (I think) to pick up a forum or you will be demodded.

[Young Dro]

how do people become mods?

[shortkut]

Nope, we have no requirement for how long you have to be a member. Just get 300 posts, follow the rules, and act like you're at least 16, and you're eligible to be a mod.
.

[Ruffryder123]

how do people become mods?


Scroll up a few post the answer is there.

[Cobalt]

When someone gets banned, how long is it for? (forever..?) Or is it the warning that has a limit?

[Crazy Jamie]

People can either by permamently or temporarily banned, depending on the nature of rule infraction. Usually a ban is permanent. However, any ban can be lifted at any time for there is a good enough reason to do so.

[Weedo87]

so if you make one rule mistake like spamming when u were new, and not getting a warning, but a precaution, you couldnt be a mod?

[Beowulf X]

so if you make one rule mistake like spamming when u were new, and not getting a warning, but a precaution, you couldnt be a mod?

Sure you could. We don't expect everyone to be perfect all the time. If you're a notorious spammer though, don't expect to be a mod anytime soon though.

[Weedo87]

ok, thnx 4 answering the question. at the time i didnt kno wut spamming was. well, do you like manage the site if your a mod, or is that the admin?

[Superion]

Moderators - Mangages one, or a few, specific forums. They have basic staff CP powers that are limited to their forum, the can do stuff like giving an official warning, forum banning, and suggesting to their highers for a full banment on a user they feel they have delt with enough.

Super Moderators - Have access to manage all forums on Gamewinners.com. Anything a Moderator can do, SMods can do but in any forum they want. They can also ban users, give warnings, reset post counts (I think), etc...

Administrators - Basically, complete control. Admins can do anything to any forum (weather it be creating one, deleting one, altering one, etc...) and can alter the and change the site as they feel fit. They can do basically everything on Gamewinners.com except stuff that is inclosed in the vB system, like letting users view their reps in pages instead of the eariler reps being replaced for the new ones.

We need to rekwest forum blokks. Mods kan't do them themselves.

They kan even de-admin other admins (eksept Al, he kan't be de-admined)

[Crazy Jamie]

Going back a few posts, you can still become a mod if you have received a warning. Krillin Six Dots actually became a moderator after she had previously been banned, so anything is possible.

[Northern Lights]

I got banned twice.

[Northern Lights]

Damn, can't edit...

MichealAngelo was banned then became a super mod and Dark Falcon was IP banned before becoming mod.

If these are anything to go by, I don't think that a warning matters. ;)

[Beowulf X]

Am I the only mod to never have been banned? Jeesh.....

[shortkut]

Am I the only mod to never have been banned? Jeesh.....
i was never banned

[VashTheStampede]

Hell, I've only been warned once, and that was back when I first joined.

[Northern Lights]

I mean, uh... can I rescind that last statement? The one about being banned twice. :D

[Crazy Jamie]

Three times is a charm, or so they say. I think you should aim for that elusive third :D

[Northern Lights]

You're right.

OMFGURSUCHANOOBIHATEYOUBURNINHELLBITCH!

OOH, BAN ME!

[shortkut]

.

[Crazy Jamie]

OOH, BAN ME! I'm sure we normally honour requests like this don't we?

[Tommy Boy]

Heh.

Vash is admin yay.

[snoogadie²]

People can either by permamently or temporarily banned, depending on the nature of rule infraction. Usually a ban is permanent. However, any ban can be lifted at any time for there is a good enough reason to do so.

can you please elaborate on that, give an example of a "good enough" reason for a ban to be lifted? cheers.

[Crazy Jamie]

It is fairly rare, but there are times when it is appropriate. An obvious example is where someone was banned through an abuse of power, although that is more or less unheard of on this site. A recent example is that there was a situation (can't remember the members involved) where someone needed access to a banned account to alter the details of a Public Group because that account had started the group (or something along those lines). As I said it is rare, but happens from time to time.

[Tommy Boy]

That was Superfly.

And I am getting off banning soon anyways.

[Crazy Jamie]

I thought it was but I couldn't be certain.

[Cobalt]

*prepares for huge bashing* Here it goes... *gasp* .....Who is Al?

[Heil]

Al is the creator of this site and (duh) Root-Admin. Why post that here?

[Rabid]

i think its about time to let Rabid mod Public Groups... :paranoid:

In other news: Simply put, Al is god.

[Joe II]

How did this conversation of Al even begin?
And if that isn't a blatant suck-up im pretty sure nothing is.

[Beowulf X]

Everything is about Al. Besides, 95% of the users here are Al. :D

[Cobalt]

Are you Al? :D

Well, Dark~shadow, there was a post some pages back saying something about Al.
I thought Al was the guy who made the site, but I wasn't sure. Well, it doesn't matter.

I'm not Al. You can tell :D

[Crazy Jamie]

I'm not Al. You can tell Sounds like something Al would say.....

Seriously though, you can't be Al because Alu is Al. Everyone knows that.

[Adyum]

Who is incharge of mod votes now that Vash is admin?

[Crazy Jamie]

All signs are pointing towards the fact that he is still going to do them. He said that he's going to put the new batch up soon.

[Cobalt]

He is? Cool. How long has Vash had that job anyway? It sounds like doing that job would be good fun. :)

[Rabid]

He is? Cool. How long has Vash had that job anyway? It sounds like doing that job would be good fun. :)
:paranoid: ... from what I gather, being a mod isn't very much fun... also, s-mods and admins apparently have numerous responsiblilities, but it doesn't seem like that to me... lazy gw staff :tease:

[Heil]

And it sucks being an Admin (from what I hear) sort of becuase you have n00bs asking to be Mods, S-mods, and Admin. So yea.......and you gotta control this place.

[Barack Obama]

It seems like a tough job being mod, s-mod or admin. Whenever someone has a problem they feel the need to blame the mods, when they can do nothing about it. They put up with a lot of sh*t.

Just to get this out of my system... OMGDARKSHADOWISBACK!

[Cecil DK Knight]

Being a mod is only as much fun as you make it. I guess it all depends on the forum you mod. For me, HCW is a breeze. Few if any annoying n00bs, very little in the terms of actual mod stuff. Now the DS forum, that's a different story.

of course it's the mods fault. of course we blame them. we do the wrong thing, the mods come down on us and we feel pissed off cause we got caught. we fight it and the mods always come out on top becuse chances are they are in the right. but i have seen a few abuse powers. not fun.

[Crazy Jamie]

Beowulf (I can't be bothered trying to find a way to type that symbol) is right- being a moderator is as much fun as you make it. Personally I really enjoy being a moderator, and like to think that as a result I do a good job. But it is a lot of work. It's no longer simply about enjoying the site. You have responsibilities, and if you do not meet those responsibilities then you must suffer the consequences. I don't know how people get it into their heads that it's a total laugh riot being a moderator because you get to close threads. It can be a lot of fun, but it is a lot of work too.

[Scootem]

way to p*ss on the idea of modhood.

congrats to all the new mods!

[Tommy Boy]

Not really. CJ is, in my opinion, the nicest and most leanient mod on this website. He is a key example to follow as a role model.

[Rabid]

Not really. CJ is, in my opinion, the nicest and most leanient mod on this website. He is a key example to follow as a role model.
And Chipper is the most brown-nosiest member :paranoid: and should be looked up to as an example to all brown-nosers :tease:

[Cecil DK Knight]

I was going to say something like that, but I got side-tracked with his ESM link in his previous signature. Thanks for sidetracking me ya bastard. :P

[Tommy Boy]

Just doing my job.

-Tips hat-

[Flame]

And now to do my job...

You all suck! I rule!

It's a good job. The pay's not great, but I make do. By robbing banks.

I think it's time for Flame to mod Al. :hmm:

[The Smart Patrol]

I don't know how people get it into their heads that it's a total laugh riot being a moderator because you get to close threads. It can be a lot of fun, but it is a lot of work too.

How's it a lot of work? What else do you have to do apart from monitor your forums?

[Crazy Jamie]

Well clearly it depends on how active your forums are and how well you actually do your job. Clearly closing threads doesn't take any time past looking at the thread, but other such things as editing posts (of other members), splitting threads, writing announcements, requesting bans, noting warnings in user notes, checking IPs of members for similarities in cases of multiple accounts etc etc all take up a lot of extra time. And that's just for moderators- clearly the work load is increased significantly for s-mods and admins.

[The Smart Patrol]

Oh right. That does sound like quite a lot of work. Glad it's not me!

[Adyum]

There has not been a mod vote for 2 months I think we should just put up who has already been voted on. Or if you need another mod to put you , you can put up me :-D

[Flame]

Allow me...

Flame to mod everything: Yes

Luigi to go cry in the corner: Yes

Flame to laugh: Only after eating

Time for food.

[Beowulf X]

Yes. Yes we do. I get PMs every so often from n00bs with under 500 posts (always the low posters, don't know why) asking the can I be a mod question. I reply with a simple moment of laughing my head off. That usually does the trick. Or I say "go up to Al and give him a cookie" or something more demeaning if they deserve it. Actually.... doing that is fun. It makes me want to be an Smod just so I can find more of them and have more fun. Oh, I wish I wish I wish......

They then continue with an outburst of negative rep, thinking that giving it to you will get you de-modded or you will somehow resent them.

Then again, I hear most mods are rep-whore's these days. :shake:

[Beowulf X]

I hear most mods are rep-whore's these days. :shake:
Actually, we could care less. I get rep'd by n00bs a lot, and althoght they don't say they want to be a mod, they sure suck up to me a lot.

[Crazy Jamie]

Then again, I hear most mods are rep-whore's these days. Most mods have a lot of rep, but that's just from us playing with the system. We really couldn't give a damn. Any moderator that shows the slightest hint of caring about rep is normally made fun of. Quite right, too.

[The Smart Patrol]

I wasn't too happy when I went from Lawful Good to Chaotic Evil after getting rep bombed from a high-rep member. Then some nice people gave me high good rep and I was all happy again. Having Chaotic Evil as your rep just makes you look bad. Most people that have that as their rep are pretty nasty characters.

[Rabid]

that is fun. It makes me want to be an Smod just so I can find more of them and have more fun. Oh, I wish I wish I wish......
I think I would abuse my powers if i were an s-mod/admin, i would constantly mess with peoples sigs and just screw with peoples accounts for the hell of it...

[Joe II]

I think I would abuse my powers if i were an s-mod/admin, i would constantly mess with peoples sigs and just screw with peoples accounts for the hell of it...

And the vote for Adminship goes to:....Not Rabid.
I personnally would enjoy being a S-Mod, Admin or even just an Mod....Yeah... Thats all i can say really.

[¤Chaos¤]

Congrats on the mod-ship people. :)

The best part about being a mod is CnS.

Wow, that makes me feel big. Saying stuff that most people will never know about. And I did it all without leaking. :D

My god... out of all the members at this fine webforum, you would be the last person I would ever expect to do such a thing... :D

[ShadowFox]

Just out of curiosity, can someone on the Zero Tolerance List be Mod? Like be on the Zero Tolerance List and be Mod at the same time?

And also, I vote CnucksGx for F-Zero Series Mod (Not SPAM, PLEASE, don't report me for SPAM. If this is SPAM, I honestly didn't know, so PLEEEEEAAAAAAASE...)

[Rabid]

Just out of curiosity, can someone on the Zero Tolerance List be Mod? Like be on the Zero Tolerance List and be Mod at the same time?
Probably not.

We don't actually vote here, its more of a "congratulations" kinda thing, but as you see, its gotten a bit out of hand, not to mention old, as its over two months of age...

[shortkut]

no, they are demodded before it gets that far

[Crazy Jamie]

My god... out of all the members at this fine webforum, you would be the last person I would ever expect to do such a thing... :DWhat can I say? The peer pressure got to me :D

[Scootem]

Is that CJ caving in? Wheres that english heritage and pride? Its gone the same place as my dignity! Shame on you Jamie, Shame on you!

its gotten a bit out of hand, not to mention old, as its over two months of age...Since when did that stop us? It's a very long congratulation!

[Joe II]

hehehe, Yeah...Well, Being one waiting to see if i even got a reccomendation im going to congratulate the new-er i mean the newest batch of Mods. Can't wait untill Vash stops rolling in glory of Adminship. Yeah.

Chances are slim that you will be nominated... and if you are, you'll know, as there is usually a vote in the forum that you would mod...

[Joe II]

Chances are slim that you will be nominated... and if you are, you'll know, as there is usually a vote in the forum that you would mod...

Well actually there was a technical vote we'll call it. Well actually it was a contest then Andy said he nominated 2 of the three finalists and we had to wait for like ever for results. Thats all im saying on that subject.

[BigD423]

Umm 16 mods vote on it and from there they see if you will become one and if youve been warned or anything like that before your chances are very slim (trust me i know).

[Crazy Jamie]

Umm 16 mods vote on it and from there they see if you will become one and if youve been warned or anything like that before your chances are very slim (trust me i know).
Actually, all mods vote on a particular candidate that have a view to express on that candidate. That can range anywhere from around 10 to up to 80 or so. Depends on the person. And who says if you've been warned before your chances are slim? Most mods have been warned at some point whilst being members, even if only in passing. A fair few have also become moderators after they had been previously banned.

[BigD423]

Buddy go to the San Andreas forum and look at what threads have been closed and what i typed in them i got warned 2 times for that sh*t.

[Crazy Jamie]

What are you talking about? How is that in any way relevant?

[BigD423]

Because thats why i was warned and it s*ucks ok and im p*ssed about it and someone told me if i get 4 warnings i can get banned and that ruins my chances (a mod told me) and i didnt even do anything to deserve it.

[Crazy Jamie]

If you are a good enough candidate to be a moderator then you will be nominated regardless of your past history.

[BigD423]

NOT IF YOU GET BANNED!

[Crazy Jamie]

There are a number of moderators who were previously banned. Krillin Six Dots was before she was made moderator, and Northern Lights was also banned before he become a moderator. So will you just calm down already?

[BigD423]

You know what actully i wont because the reason i got warned is the g*yest reason ive ever heard did u read what i posted in that forum?

[Crazy Jamie]

It only becomes an issue for me if you do get banned and decide to bring it up in court. Otherwise I really don't care. But you are posting for the sake of raising your post count, and have been in one of my forums too. I suspect the reason for this is because you were told that you needed 600 posts to be a moderator. Actually the person who told you that is wrong, and you only need 300. So (technically) you qualify. But, and I can't stress this enough- stop trying to be a moderator. That will only decrease your chances and annoy current moderators.

[BigD423]

You sound like Power and im telling you this is bull sh*t the only reason im posting this is because Lawson is gettin me p*ssed and i know its 300 posts and i dont care about becoming a moderator im jus tryin to help people and the reason i got the warning is because i posted "dont post this you will get a warning its against the rules" now tell me is that fair?

[Crazy Jamie]

im telling you this is bull sh*t the only reason im posting this is because Lawson is gettin me p*ssedThen this is not the place. Which, shockingly enough, counts as SPAM.

i dont care about becoming a moderator :chuckle:- Your last few posts paint a different picture. As does your recent behaviour.

the reason i got the warning is because i posted "dont post this you will get a warning its against the rules" now tell me is that fair?Yes, it is completely fair because it is against the rules. Telling people what is against the rules is the job of the moderators- not you. What you did is known as 'mini-modding' and is frowned upon a lot of moderators.

Now do yourself a favour and stop posting in this thread.

[BigD423]

I spammed right ok warn me ok?

[Rabid]

g*yest reason
I don't want to act all high and mighty, but you might want to watch the homo-slurs, especially in a thread as public and widely viewed as this...

Anywho, wouldn't a mod vote according to how well they believe they would do the job, not on if they got warned for flaming 3 weeks ago?

[BigD423]

Well i got 2 of them today not weeks ago and this isnt about me becoming a moderator ok i dont really wanna be one after i seen how annoying it can be.

[Neo Matrix]

[QUOTE=RabidAnywho, wouldn't a mod vote according to how well they believe they would do the job, not on if they got warned for flaming 3 weeks ago?[/QUOTE]Doing the job also means following the rules...

[Rabid]

Doing the job also means following the rules...
yeah, but generally don't people (when they first become mods) follow the rules very closely and attempt to do the best job they can? maybe some kind of mod-probation period?

[The Smart Patrol]

Krillin Six Dots was before she was made moderator

What the hell did she do to get banned? Gee, beauty and danger- I like that girl.

[Woozie]

BigD423 for the record the GTA: San Andreas fourm has 5 mods, 5!!! That's the maxium (I'm pretty sure, if not already over the limit) so chances for 6 mods in one fourm? It's not THAT active :) (Even though 1 admin is no where to be found, and the other mod hasn't posted in the GTA: SA fourm since the beginning :/)

Also your like the 500th person to be crying about the warning you got from Lawson.

[BigD423]

Im sorry but 3 in the past 2 days thats just bull and thats all im gonna say.

[BigD423]

Sorry about the DP but can we get off the subject thats not what this post is for and i really dont want any more warnings.

[Rabid]

i really dont want any more warnings.
I really find that ironic since you just broke another rule saying that... I'd be careful for the next few months, as you already have 3 warnings, lay low, and don't attract attention to yourself, otherwise you might be whacked with that big, color BAN stick...

[Ford Mustang]

There are moderators that have been banned, so they were talking about, but... They still got to be mods..

[Rabid]

There are moderators that have been banned, so they were talking about, but... They still got to be mods..
I know, but it shouldn't be everyone's goal to get banned... its not like it would give you a better chance at being a mod, if anything, it hurts your reputation (what people think of you, not those silly numbers) with the moderator community, or at least one would think so much...

[Neo Matrix]

yeah, but generally don't people (when they first become mods) follow the rules very closely and attempt to do the best job they can? maybe some kind of mod-probation period?So we should vote on whether they would do a good job as a moderator and totally forget how they act as a member? The member's behaviour is what we base our votes on. It's the behaviour that tells us whether they are ready/mature enough to join the team. Being warned goes against that.

And to add to what Rabid said, a lot of the time we don't personally know the members being voted on. So all we have to go on is the "reputation" gained through their behaviour.

[Ford Mustang]

Rabid.. I'm not saying that everyone should get banned... Saying, that there are a few mods that have been banned. So, you can be a mod if you've had warnings.. Thats all Im gonna say.. now im gonna butt outta here.

[Rabid]

yeah, I see where your comming from, but would you vote no for someone because of some personal grudge you have against them, though all other signs would say that the person in question would be a good mod?

[BigD423]

This is not what this thread is about can we PLEASE get off the subject?

[Northern Lights]

This topic hasn't strayed that far off path. It is a mod vote results topic and it is talking about getting reccommended.

Rabid: If you have a grudge against the member, you should be professional about it and either see past it or vote abstain.

[BigD423]

Well no offence but some mods wont do that theyll just vote againts the person just because they dislike them for somereason or another.

[The Smart Patrol]

This is not what this thread is about can we PLEASE get off the subject?

Oh shut up. You're the one who went off topic talking utter bull**** about some warning you got. If you don't stop your particular brand of verbal diarrhea fairly soon you'll be getting more than a warning. And no, I'm not a mod, but Crazy Jamie is and you should start following the advice he gave you on the previous page pronto.

[BigD423]

Ok then answer me this why should i stop posting in this thread if the whole point of these forums is to get answers or give answers? As a matter a fact i was gonna say congrats to the newer mods i forgot i thought i already did. Anyways i had this post in the Vice City forum and i was wondering if that is allowed or not? its the one about free money please someone answer me.

[Rabid]

Thats what I thought... :)

Well, there really isn't anything you, nor anyone can do about that, people will do as they wish...

[BigD423]

Yeah but can you please answer my other question.

[Neo Matrix]

yeah, I see where your comming from, but would you vote no for someone because of some personal grudge you have against them, though all other signs would say that the person in question would be a good mod?Seems you got the idea from your last post. :)

[Neo Matrix]

1. We would need a link. I'm sure that most of us wouldn't want to search a whole forum for one post if we don't know what it is.
2. This isn't the place. Goes in the Forum Questions forum.

[Retrospect]

Anyways i had this post in the Vice City forum and i was wondering if that is allowed or not? its the one about free money please someone answer me.
Thread (http://forums.gamewinners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=427111)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's "allowed". Why wouldn't it be?

[Neo Matrix]

It might be frowned on because it's "random" posting tips/cheats. There's the main cheat site for that. The forums is there for answering questions, not for what BigD did in that thread.

[Ford Mustang]

hey.. neo.. nice question marks in ya siggy.. lol

[BigD423]

So Neo its not allowed?

[Neo Matrix]

If you're seeing question marks or squares, you just aren't able to view Japanese text... The sig isn't over the limit so it's not my problem. :D

BigD... if something is "frowned upon" it normally isn't allowed even if it isn't written in stone. If it's extremely useful information then it could be overlooked, but that really depends on the moderator. Your information didn't seem ground-breaking or anything, and in the end looked like it could be taken as SPAM.

[BigD423]

Well it was information that could help other people. I dont think anyone would ask a question about that lol.

[Neo Matrix]

People might ask about how to get free money in that game. But as I said it depends on the moderator... Basically, it's one of those "don't call us, we'll call you" kind of things. It's not Jeopardy. :tease2:

[shortkut]

i usually don't allow it in my forums…

[BigD423]

Ok then sorry but im not in your forum.

[Rabid]

Ok then sorry but im not in your forum.
umm... he was just stating what he does in his forums, in other words: stating a possible moderator's point of view...

[BigD423]

Oh ok sorry about that then but can any mod move any thread? (that is if its in the wrong place)

[Neo Matrix]

I think S-Mods and Admins can move any thread. Normal mods (as far as I know) can only move things from their forum(s) to other places.

[Lionheart]

Hey, when i get 300+ posts, can i mod the RuneScape forum?

I can read it, iI just cant translate it.

[BigD423]

Dazza T you cant just want to be a mod and then be one that way everyone would be a mod and thats not helping at all its only if your nominated and you pass the vote. (the vote is from 10 to 80 mods)

[Neo Matrix]

I can read it, iI just cant translate it.
It's a bit old, and probably full of grammar mistakes. I know translator programs come up with very weird results. I'll probably try and make it more understandable someday.

[Lionheart]

Thanks BigD but how can i try to get nominated?

[Rabid]

Thanks BigD but how can i try to get nominated?
There is the anchient rule of "not asking" but thats another lecture for another day... just be helpful in the forum you want to mod...

[BigD423]

Ok depending on the forum and mod(s) in that forum you have to help out have at least 300 posts and ever beg or ask to become one.

[Ruffryder123]

You have to help out, have good behavior, and at least 300 post. And follow rules. And it is a they ask you sort of thing.

[Crazy Jamie]

Ah so he's finally been banned. About time.

[Rabid]

Ah so he's finally been banned. About time.
The thing I find funny is that he had three warnings, and he still posted in a place where the moderator presence is fairly high... you think the guy would be smart and lay low for a while...

[Crazy Jamie]

you think the guy would be smart and lay low for a while...
Given his behaviour pattern, not really no. He wasn't the sharpest pencil in the box.

[The Smart Patrol]

Some people have a death wish- that guy had a ban wish.

[Ford Mustang]

Some people have a death wish- that guy had a ban wish.


Hey... He asked for a ban.. I think it might have been in this forum, but I don't know.. He was like.. "I wanna be banned!!!" Don't quote me on it.. Then some mod said it should happen by Monday or something.. BY THE WAY... ITS MY BIRTHDAY!

[Velocity]

I think it interesting that he IM'ed me and asked how to become a mod. :D Moron. After the first convo I knew he was only in it for the position. He kept trying to get me to look at posts that he made and critique them.

Oy.

Also, in a rare three-month-late congratulatory response by me: Congratulations to the February mods. :D

[Ford Mustang]

... He IM'd you and asked how to be a mod?? Wasn't he here long enough to know? I mean.. he kept TELLING people how to become a mod... How crazy is that?!

[Crazy Jamie]

Yes, but only after he 'found out' how to be a mod. He somehow thought that it was sacred information, and that he was looking good by spreading it :rolleyes:

[Ford Mustang]

Sitting here.. Talking to him on AIM.. Hes telling me that he had a chance to be a mod.. and its just cool to piss them off.. he sounds messed up... don't know why its fun to piss off mods..?

[Rabid]

Yes, but only after he 'found out' how to be a mod. He somehow thought that it was sacred information, and that he was looking good by spreading it :rolleyes:
isn't it cool to go around telling people how to become a mod? psh... thats what I do on my weekends... :rolleyes:

and that information on "how to become a mod" was a very general guideline on how you should act as a normal member in my opinion...

[Crazy Jamie]

Hes telling me that he had a chance to be a modI had more chance of being crowned Miss World.

[Adyum]

I had more chance of being crowned Miss World and I am a guy

[Ford Mustang]

I had more chance of being crowned Miss World.

Heh.. So did I.. He was like.. "I had a chance.. didn't take it... "

I was like... BULL CRAP!

[Woozie]

I had more chance of being crowned Miss World and I am a guy
And Jamie is not a guy?
:/

[Rabid]

To the best of my knowlege, CJ is a male. I think you guys just completely missed his humor :P

[Ford Mustang]

Well, so he has told me he is a guy.. That was funny, I have to admit. Just, that he told me he had a chance to get a mod spot.. I was like speechless.. LOL...

Anyways...


CONGRATZ TO TEH MODS FROM FEBRUARY!
It's a little late, but... Eh, better late than never?

[Crazy Jamie]

And Luigi is the latest in a long line of people who think/thought that I'm a girl........

Which I'm not, by the way.

And Luigi is the latest in a long line of people who think/thought that I'm a girl........

I have my doubts, Jamie.

[Adyum]

I am sorry about that.... I now a Jamie who is a guy,but I also know a girl so I was undecided. Sorry about that,

[POKEY]

Losers

[Kal_Knight9]

What's this?

[kolokotronis]

What's what?
Anyway,congrats to the old mods.Oh crap,they'll be demodded by now.J/K
Where are the next results :bawl: Neo (a member) told me that a mod told him they'll be announced at Saturday.A.k.a. yesterday.

[Neo Matrix]

Glad you said "a member". For a second I thought you were talking about me.

Are you supposed to be on the next batch or something?

[kolokotronis]

I don't really know, TNO69 (a mod) told me that I'm heading toward modship 2 months ago.
I've said that in the half threads that exist in GW :D

[Northern Lights]

You're not on the next batch, maybe if you speak to him he will give you the details?

[kolokotronis]

I don't know, I feel it's like asking to be mod.Maybe I'll lower my chances this way.I'll think about it.
Just wondering,is Neo on the next batch?The same happened with him (a mod told him the same).

[X]

Hah, Neo? I haven't seen him since he was The Matrix and I was The Trainer.

Well, the way to check if he's on the batch is to go to the forum he was supposedly nominated for, and in the forum, there should be a poll posted by Vash saying "X person nominated for mod/co-mod for Y forum". Yeah, something like that.

Oh, and congrats to the mods (who don't care), especially Fable (Now Marwan).

And:

1) I'm in the batch
2) But I'm in on my old name (}{indu |\/|aharaj)

[Neo Matrix]

Maybe TNO meant that you were "on the way" as in... "continue like this and you'll be a mod someday".

[Crazy Jamie]

I'm pretty sure Neo is in the next batch (I remember him being nominated) but I don't remember seing your name kolokotronis. But I think your misunderstood what you were told. The moderator votes for this batch have just gone up- the results won't be out for another week.

[Almalexia]

So, when can we see the results?

[Crazy Jamie]

When the votes are completed another thread will be made in this forum just like this one, which will contain all of the results from that batch.

[Rabid]

Maybe TNO meant that you were "on the way" as in... "continue like this and you'll be a mod someday".
Thats what I was thinking too...

Is it just me, or is this batch taking exceptionally long to get out? ... meh, i just remember those months where there was at least 1 vote a month... :-\

[Crazy Jamie]

You're right this batch has taken a while to get out, but to be fair there weren't any nominations for at least a month or so after the last one. Then there was a lot in a short time, and it's just taken Vash a while to get round to putting them up.

[kolokotronis]

Aaah...Whatever...Yes, I've seen the thread Vash posted for Neo.Lucky bastard :D
About the next results,he was talking about the voting, not the results.Sorry, my mistake.I thought they were posted the same day with the voting though.
And TNO said exactly "You're heading toward modship".Nothing more, nothing less.

[Crazy Jamie]

And TNO said exactly "You're heading toward modship".Nothing more, nothing less. Yes that's definately a statement concerning the possibility of future events. If he recommended you for a vote, he would have said that he had.

[kolokotronis]

Whatever...
Well, the way to check if he's on the batch is to go to the forum he was supposedly nominated for, and in the forum, there should be a poll posted by Vash saying "X person nominated for mod/co-mod for Y forum". Yeah, something like that.
Is it always done like that (Vash or whoever announces the results posting a poll in the X forum)?I thought it was only up to the mods.

[Beowulf X]

Ultimately, it is up to us, but we're always willing to take some comments from the regular users of the forum.

[Northern Lights]

I'm not. I am an assh*le. :D

[Rabid]

You're right this batch has taken a while to get out, but to be fair there weren't any nominations for at least a month or so after the last one. Then there was a lot in a short time, and it's just taken Vash a while to get round to putting them up.
a month is a while... i'll let this time fly, but next time, i won't stop bitching and you'll have to IP Ban me to get the whining to stop :tease:

Ultimately, it is up to us, but some of us are always willing to take some comments from the regular users of the forum.
I'm going to stress the some comments part, and change we're to "some of us" on that to make it slightly more believable :P

[shortkut]

can we do a preemptive strike :P

[Beowulf X]

I'm going to stress the some comments part, and change we're to "some of us" on that to make it slightly more believable :P

And I'm going to stress the "correcting a mod is a bannable offense" part. :D

[Rabid]

so, i have a possible 2 ban requests right now comming from Shortkut and Beowulf X... hmm... like I said, you might as well IP ban me right away, because I won't stop comming back :P

[Cobalt]

I'm pretty sure CnucksGx is up for co-modding the F-Zero forum. (HINT: Click my sig)

[Crazy Jamie]

so, i have a possible 2 ban requests right now comming from Shortkut and Beowulf X... hmm... like I said, you might as well IP ban me right away, because I won't stop comming back Don't worry. You may have been annoying at first, but most of us have since become immune to you :D

[Rabid]

most of us have since become immune to you :D
or maybe its because I have my metaphorical ass emplanted so far in GW and no one wants to know whats rotting underneath it?

Annoying? meh, I guess you could say "typical american teenager" :P

[Beowulf X]

I'm pretty sure CnucksGx is up for co-modding the F-Zero forum. (HINT: Click my sig)

Uh, I'm afraid not. In order for you to be up for co-modding a forum, there needs to be a mod there already. Duh.

or maybe its because I have my metaphorical ass emplanted so far in GW and no one wants to know whats rotting underneath it?

Annoying? meh, I guess you could say "typical american teenager"

You have your ass implanted in GW? You might want to see a doctor about that. Also, being a "typical american teenager" should be a bannable offence. (well, in nine days it should) :P

[Cobalt]

Um, Beowulf X, Conan O'Brien is the mod of the F-Zero Series forum. At least, for now. (or at the very least, when I posted that)

In order for you to be up for co-modding a forum
I'm not. CnucksGx.

[Scootem]

So, when are the next results due?

[kolokotronis]

So, when are the next results due?
I've seen that the poll Vash posted for Neo will close on Monday, so I guess the results be announced then (Monday).

[Rabid]

Also, being a "typical american teenager" should be a bannable offence. (well, in nine days it should) :P
Damnit all! I guess more than half of GW shall be banned, and I can't even use the "My country will invade your country" line. But hell, if your country has an abundance of oil, maybe we will, but hopefully we will plant the WMD's before we claim you to have them... :P
