April 7, 20205 yr Popular Post Why shouldn't I moderate Surly? That's a tough one, but I'll take a shot. Say I'm working at Surly somebody reports a post to my desk, something nobody else can moderate. Maybe I take a shot at it and maybe I moderate it. And I'm real happy with myself, cause I did my job well. But maybe that post doxxes the location of some rebel poster in College Station or the Norman. Once Surly has that location, they scat-bomb the website where the poster were hiding and fifteen hundred people I never met, never had no problem with, get banned. Now the Board of Regents are sayin', "Oh, send in the football players to secure the area" cause they don't give a shit. It won't be their kid over there, gettin' concussions. Just like it wasn't them when their number got called, cause they were pullin' a tour on the tennis team. It'll be some kid from Bandera takin' head blows up the ass. And he comes back to find that the football team he used to work at got exported to the futbal team of the village he just got back from. And the guy who put the targeting on his ass got his old starting spot, cause he'll play for free shoes and conjugal visits with sheep. Meanwhile, he realizes the only reason he was over there in the first place was so we could install a television network that would grant us third tier rights at a good price. And, of course, the television networks used the skirmish over there to scare up all television right prices. A cute little ancillary benefit for them, but it ain't helping my buddy at $12.50 a streaming service And they're takin' their sweet time putting on the OU game of course, and maybe even took the liberty of hiring an alcoholic S&C coach who likes to drink martinis and fuckin' play slalom with the weight machines, and it ain't too long 'til he trips over one, knocks down the whole rack and kills all prospects in the QB room. So now my buddy's out of a job and he can't afford to watch TV, so he's got to walk to the fuckin' job interviews, which sucks cause the concussions in his head is givin' him chronic head. And meanwhile he's starvin', to catch a football but every time he tries to play a game of catch, the only game they're servin' is Rag Arm Special with Case McCoy So what did I think? I'm holdin' out for somethin' better. I figure fuck it, while I'm at it why not just concuss my buddy, take his job, give it to his sworn enemy, hike up television prices, scat-bomb a website, club a QB, hit the hash pipe and join the Corp I could be elected president.

April 7, 20205 yr Because I'm so fucking good. That ain't no shit no shit either. I done got me 157 kills and 50 water buffalo too. They were all certified.
April 8, 20205 yr From what I've heard, a guy who goes by the handle 8badmofo31 is doing a bang up job on other sites. We could try to recruit him.
April 8, 20205 yr I play favorites, and I'm wildly inconsistent. I'm a total martinet about some rules but ignore others. I'm extremely irritable and have a temper and take a lot of stuff personally. I hold grudges forever and I build them up without telling people so when they make one minor mistake I hold them accountable for all the other mistakes they don't even know they've made. I've never even heard of the concept of grace; I never assume a rules violation is an honest mistake. I've been out of work since Hornfans went under but I'll make this place great the same way they made Hornfans great around 2007.

April 9, 20205 yr If you have an immoderator position open, I'm your man. I've been on message boards since the dark days of BBSes and USEnet. I remember the internet from before the Eternal September. II'veposted some of the dumbest things ever posted on the internet... and left them there. And if you make me moderator, I solemnly swear (crosses fingers) that I'll never do the job more than half-assed nor sober. In short: OU sucks.
April 9, 20205 yr Author Ok. I've come up with a better solution. We are holding an election for moderator for 1 week. It's going to rotate. Top rep for the week is moderator for a week. Choose wisely first mod on Monday.
April 9, 20205 yr No...leave the CR circle jerk out of it. It's way too easy to get rep there. Edited April 9, 20205 yr by Hate

April 9, 20205 yr My first act as mod is to ban immamac. Next I have reached out to badmofo and made him a mod here. And finally, I resign.

April 9, 20205 yr i mean, seriously- who *doesn't* want to see what it would be like if i was a mod for a week? Zero joke, who doesn't want to see that? It's one week. What's the worst that can happen??? With all of that said, I think i'd actually be a pretty boring mod who probably wouldn't even do so much as suspend anyone during my week in power. I'd be all fair and consistent, truly living up to the spirit of shaggy/surly by letting people say what they think and feel, short of blatant trolling and outright racism/death threats. Still, there's only one way to find out... Edited April 9, 20205 yr by Goo Punch

Lol just kidding everywhere. gonna be nothing but football board posters. the most thought provoking, well-thought-out, well researched, unanimously celebrated post on the hoops board will get 10 pos reps. you write CJK5H on the football board and you're at +37 by the end of the day. We should have people from all boards post here in this forum announcing that they want to be in the running. State your case, take your rep (pos or neg), and handle it like a man. one man's opinion anyway.

You're welcome. see, this is the thing. everyone likes RL. seriously, nobody here has a bad thing to say about the guy. hell, i've met him- rally jaeger for the MF win. RL is a cool, laid back, chill, funny dude. he is the exact opposite of what you want in a one week mod. fuck that noise. you want crazy; you want psycho; you want unpredictable; hell, immamac can always pull the plug whenever he wants anyway, right? real talk, i wish grendel could be here to moderate, with a dedicated thread for him to explain in excruciating bilingual detail exactly why he banned someone. if anyone can find him and bring him here he has my vote. now then, since finding grendel is a long shot, i have a few nominations to make: futureman ctj hugo spy insert insane CR poster here any one of these people would be much more entertaining than anyone here who is actually popular or well liked. these are people with personality; people with conviction; people who stand out from the crowd; these are the people we should be considering. otherwise, why are we doing this?
April 9, 20205 yr Wholly snikey we're freaking doomed. I would volunteer myself except for a promise I made to my dad..... never, ever work under aggy. Edited April 9, 20205 yr by SHOOTER12

You will have a handful of users constantly reporting posts. You know its going to be a BS post but still have to check it out to see if its something bad like porn (which google didnt like).
