Thread: Please Welcome our New Moderators

I've posted more often (if not more frequently) than anyone else ever (except Ted, it now seems). Also, I go back to the a.e.d. days that, eventually, spawned this board. Also, I have the demonstrated subject matter expertise. But moderating the board would impinge on my ability to post what I want when I want. I'll pass. But your "eek" emoticon is both insulting and uninformed. I question whether you have the temperament to perform the role. Let's hope you improve from here.

I can't believe that Maniac Craniac used an emoticon. Unbelievable!!!

Congratulations guys, but remember who the senior moderator is. :D

I don't think any disrespect was intended but rather just what you stated yourself, I think it was implying that you are very opinionated and have strong feelings about various topics. While I am sure you would be a grand moderator and with your experience here at least they would know what they are getting but would you be good at it if you couldn't speak your mind here anymore?

Actually, I think that was Rich's version of a joke. In fact, if I imagined him telling a joke, that is exactly what I would expect it to sound like.

Are you dragging age into this??

Why doesn't it say "Moderator" by my name? (Can it be made to say "Moderator and Distinguished Senior Member"?)

Does Moderator status carry with it an unlimited sig line?

Somebody at some point gave you a custom user title, which overrides the default system title. So I edited the custom title :)

Consider:
"Distinguished senior memborator"

See that would be awesome.

Thanks, Chip!

Nobody likes my suggestion? I even created a graphic involving dr. evil but I cannot remember the password for my old website so I can't upload it :(. I could dig out the web-server hosting the new site but it's buried behind my desk! Too much work.

No, I didn't.

Sad day. I'm going to go modify the other thread where I called you that now.
