habem nova modum (we have a new mod)

[jackketch]

(before anyone comments, i know the latin sucks...its a joke.)


Okies, I thought i'd post this by way of introduction for those who don't know me and also to quash any conspiracy theories (see, I do know this forum!).

LostCause herself asked Root to make me co-mod of this forum. My appointment is in no way any sort of critic of her modding .

I am a big fan of the way she has always modded this forum and made it her own and i have no intention of changing anything, rather i'm here to back her play.

In light of recent events I think LC felt a second mod would be a good idea, as an anti spam measure and to slap down the occaisional troll.

So no mystery there people.

Right, for those who don't know me already: I was a very regular poster here until about a year ago. Since then I've joined in the odd thread but haven't been around much. The older regulars here all know me...some even like me...a few even actually respect my knowledge (but only a few).

Back in another lifetime I trained for the priesthood (protestant).

Last time I checked there were about 5 people here whose knowledge of the bible equaled or bettered my own (they know who they are).

I also have indepth knowledge of the classic christian 'sects' . Infact Jehovah's Whiteness are forbidden from talking to me because of my knowledge of their history and the darker bits that they don't like the rank and file to know.

Oh and incase you hadn't already noticed I am also somewhat arrogant and a bit of an arsehole when it comes to religious debate. I rarely quote suorces because if your trying o debate with me without knowing them then you probably have nothing worth saying anyway. :P

Those who know the soft cuddly jackketch of S&A might be a bit surprised!

awww. Well I'm glad you a new mod of this fourm. It sounds like you know alot of unusual stuff about religion. If you don't mind me asking, what religion are you?

Welcome and congrats, Jack. I am sure you will do a fine job, and perhaps My God can be restored to what it once was.

All hail!
He fulfills his role doing spam control and he patrols for trolls hey hey!

Hopefully you'll do a better job than LostCause. If you delete spam and keep trolls like Masta Thief in check, then you'll be alright by me.

Great, I felt this forum needed a new moderator. Hopefully I'll start posting here regularly and fierily again.

I have to disagree. LC does a really good job. No forum is harder to mod than this one, because people get really intense about their faiths or lack of it.

Yes , even the 'Fedora v. Ubuntu' doesn't invoke such passions!

Also we have a large number of, what I consider, 'heavy weight' posters who tend to know their stuff.

For example, I already know that your knowledge of science far far outstrips mine....and you aren't the only one here.

LC has always managed to stop this forum descending into a theological bear pit and modded with a fair and humour filled touch.

1. One cannot bite the hand that feeds.

2. You are in the minority in your beliefs. If absenteeism is what you consider good moderation, suit yourself.

3. Moderating this forum would NOT be difficult. Close the things that are off topic, and delete spam. Just like every other forum.

I literally LOL'd.

I fail to see why this is a relevant point, but I thank you for the compliment anyway.

When she is *here*. That is the key element. I have little to no issue with her moderation skills when she is able to grace us with her presence. Her wit, knowledge of the topic, etc are all great, but they matter little when they are rarely witnessed.

Anyway, I didn't mean to turn this thread into a LC-bashing event. I like her, I've got no problems with her personally, I am glad there is a new moderator, and....HAPPY EASTER, EVERYONE !
