i see where Brother Jack is coming from and I can see why the Mod status can be viewed as a popularity contest but it isnt, but it is? If you see the current moderators, you will notice how there are certain patters that include but not limited to: Graphic icon. (most Mods have custom icons) Number of posts. Different forums where they post (not just one forum e.g. Sanyo) Offer lengthy (more detailed) advice or opinion/review than just a "yes, thats right" or "use the search you weenie" Most arent Biased They are familiar with the members of the forums and their patterns. are good decision makers.all these are qualities i have seen with existing Moderators and qualities i look forward to acquiring myself to become a Mod. Tadlock, I swear you are by far the most agreeable person on this planet. Jack Dont get discouraged,it may be today that gold is the exclusive ruler of life, but there will come a time where humans will bow down before a higher god.
"must...reach...last...ladder...rung....ahhh!" j/k i can give the same advice as a senior member than i can as a moderator
but i hope one day to join the moderator clan, and to enforce the ways of wirelessadvisor, and enjoy its rewards ! " i pledge to wirelessadvisor in wirelessadvisor nation and to the webserver for which it runs, and for the software may it ever advance into the spectrum of 5g for ever and ever "
To be honest with you, I was only a relatively new member when I started this topic. I didn't know whether it was a # of posts type status or not. I could care less whether or not I was moderator, I guess the title is cool, but I get the same pleasure helping people with the title Senior Member or Moderator, it doesn't make a difference to me.
HAHAHAHh @ NJ. To everyone else, especially Jack, no matter what status you are, it shouldn't affect you helping others. Just because I am not a Mod, although I would like to be one, I still try my hardest to aid others with accurate answers, and quick replies. And I wish we had a system like Xpert said, but, at the same time, I like our system now, because our peers decide who is "best" for the position. Just my 6 cents. --J.T
What system am I describing? all I suggested from the get go is different rankings for loyal and PRACTICAL INFORMATIONISTS who have been here for a while and actually contribute to the forum and those deserve to be rewarded, anyone with a user name can give opinions rather than practical answers. JT, Id prefer if you refer to me as Cop ^_^ TY, or if you prefer to call me Xprt go ahead, just lose the "e" Only time will tell who gets the big M, Keep on showing enthusiasm and leadership skills , for those of you who want to be Mods.
The system which you just mentioned was the one I was talking about. Okay, I'm sorry I mis-spelled Xprt, and from now on, I shall call you "Cop" . --J.T
-From the movie "Kung Pow"- "Gentlemen, from this day forward, you will all refer to me, by the name... Betty. MWAH MWAH MWAH"
That movie was sofaking funny! I'm sorry Cop, but, I can't bring myself to call YOU Betty, in front of all our of "co-workers" a.k.a peers. --J.T
Sally would be fine thank you. By the way, i was thinking this whole "I want to be a Moderator thing" and I decided that perhaps I dont want to be moderator and rather I set my goals a little higher, I want to be WEBMASTER! Webbie(webmaster), if you read this, keep me in mind, ill be your left hand man ;D
HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHH. I'm sticking to a "Senior Membered- Sith Apprentice". Betty: Did you get my voicemail yesterday? --The Senior Membered- Sith Apprentice--
Betty: That sucks, because I'm not going back to Tampa, or that hotel for a long time...D@MM!T! I really wanted you to hear all those toilets flushing! HAHAHHA --The Senior Membered- Sith Apprentice--
Do you mean to say you left an unknown person (since Cop never got it) a voicemail of nothing but toilets flushing?
Matt: Hahahahha yes, The Senior Membered-Sith Apprentice reports that someone with the 650 area code got a whole bunch of toilets flushing in a voicemail . --TSMSA--
Larry, do you think the Webmaster will need a right hand man this summer too? If he does, Im the man he wants, otherwise I'll put in a vote for myself for the Mod status hehehehe
Ok Need to start sucking up to the moderators! LOL I nominate myself as the next moderator. That's if the web master does not need a right hand man. Jack
no theres no need to suck up to the all great, powerful, nice, gracious, kind, helpful, insighful, smart, moderators like bobolito, larry, wirelessbeachbum, kevin, anthromatt, and airb330. LOL
You forgot the Almighty superpowerful and extreme holyness of Malial and TNDan21!!!! All Hail the Webmaster!
