My vote goes to Whitemouse as solo moderator.

I cannot tell a lie, I am one of the new moderators. :^O

[bruce_nyc]

I can imagine it being used as a fundraiser... You can buy the privilege of being moderator for a month.... For a flat dollar amount donation.

Imagine... You'd have the ability to ban any user you wanted to.

If I could ban any user here.... It would be....

Hmmm

Neil.

It might be fun to just randomly edit people's posts though.... Just to f*** with them. :ymdevil:

I heard Hadda is one of the new moderators.

Did you mean the infamous Hedda?

None other! :AR!

[scottish-guy]

How could Hedda possibly meet the stated criteria of:

1) Being "esteemed" by the SGT membership and being "warm-hearted"
2) Not having "ever been involved in a disagreement with anyone here"

Frankly, none of the candidates mentioned so far meet both criteria - some suggestions do not even come close to meeting ONE criterion never mind BOTH and even the best of the bunch fail on one or the other.

I rather suspect that if and when the anointed ones emerge from the shadows, we'll find they only met both criteria by virtue of Surfy's rider on criterion #2 "....that I would know of" which can be loosely translated as "Oh I forgot/didn't know about/overlooked THAT catfight"

Ooh! Good call Scottish. Very good call.

Now look what you've done Surfcrest. You've got Scottish and I agreeing with each other. Go to you room and don't come down until you're ready to apologise. =))

2) Not having "ever been involved in a disagreement with anyone here"

If I were in charge of selecting moderator assistants.... Number 1 would be a requirement. But number 2 would prove that they would *not* be up for the job.

A moderator who "never gets involved in a disagreement"... Is like a policeman with a serious phobia of guns. Silly. Very silly.

Getting involved with disagreements.... pretty much is the *description* of the job.

I hereby fine you 20 bitcoins.

No probs. I just need to check the tulip bulb to bitcoin exchange rates.

No probs. I just need to check the tulip bulb to bitcoin exchange rates.

At this moment..... 20 bitcoins is USD $8,577. That's quite a serious fine.

Oh my God! Well, bruce_nyc, IтАЩm really surprised. Clearly IтАЩve not been paying enough attention to the long and, I must say, highly technical exchanges between you and cdnmatt. I was under the erroneous impression that 20 Bitcoin equated to approximately ┬г20 or $20 (a minor fine, in other words).

Perhaps, I should re-read the exchange, but reading the posts first time round almost frazzled my brain, so God only knows what would happen if I attempted to read them a second time. :-\
