C&C: Renegade --> Dying since 2003™, resurrected in 2024!
Ok so choose, and choose wisely. THIS TOPIC IS NOT OFFICIAL AND IN NO WAY CHOOSES WHO WILL BE A MOD THAT IS FOR CRIMSON TO DECIDE!
Re: Who should be the new moderator topic!
Seriously, maybe you should wait for an official topic...?
This is why polls should be moderators only.
Can someone dig up the last poll and see who came in second or whatever that isn't a moderator at the moment?
Other, i wonder who that other will be...

http://www.renegadeforums.com/index.php?t=msg&goto=210693&rid=4882&s rch=moderator#msg_210693 Am a bit unsure if a 1 year old topic is still representative regarding activity, but here it is .
OBLIVION FOR MOD!!!
Merovingian for mod
One_Winged_Angel (not) FOR MOD
You give us 2 players in an un-official poll to pick from. Why not give us an un-official list to chose from?
I wonder what happens if Viking happens to win the official poll >.<
Crimson wrote on Fri, 06 July 2007 03:34 Can someone dig up the last poll and see who came in second or whatever that isn't a moderator at the moment? Continuing on your last posted count, it looks like WhiteDragon is next in line: (Count is from original thread, I haven't counted any from here) 34 icedog90 21 Doitle 19 Whitedragon 16 YSLMuffins 12 Paradox 11 Goztow 11 Renx 6 Hydra 6 Merovingian 6 Oblivion 5 Danpaul88 And thanks for putting me in the unofficial poll Viking, maybe I'll get more than 6 this time

If enough people want to see idiocy be drastically cut down on, I'd be more than happy to be moderator. I'm pretty unbiased when it comes to the leadership here. I don't side with the dissenters, and I don't side with the administration. I wouldn't be a lap dog, and I certainly wouldn't be a "revolutionary". I wouldn't be a Grammar Nazi, but I wouldn't allow for intentional attention-seeking (troop and his challenges) and intentional stupidity (Viking and his purposely pointless threads). I would be cutting down on Crimson's allowing for people to be intentionally annoying and stupid, so that may not be wanted by some, but I'd still be far from strict.
cheesesoda has the second best chances (right after me).
Of course, my moderation skill is far too good for these forums. EDIT (I'm sure that'll make a few people laugh their head off)
Relying on an old poll is unfair for other members who would want to run, and if you want these forums to be "democratic" as you said in a topic last month, why not make a new poll?
We don't even know if Crimson is picking a new moderator yet. But if she is, I guess she's chose it similarly to how the ladder candidate was chosen...or...she might just chose who she thinks is the best...

Icedog should "anoint" someone for mod.
In the name of common sense and extreme sarcasm I vote mrpirate for mod, lol!
BuzzOfTheStar wrote on Fri, 06 July 2007 14:27 Icedog should "anoint" someone for mod. You don't want that, he sent this to me after he got the moderator position: icedog90 wrote on Wed, 26 July 2006 05:35 I'd just like to let you know that I think you deserve the global moderator position much more than I do. I highly doubt I'll become one, but even if I did I will feel bad because I think that the position is much better off to have you instead. I had to think about accepting my nomination for an hour. I even talked to Dead Dave about it. But I just eventually decided to accept. well, good luck. -icedog Assuming he still felt the same way that is.

"Don't call them, they will call you"
I haven't decided what I want to do about it yet. I wanted to see the old poll just for curiosity's sake. I will probably consult with the other moderators first.

Renerage wrote on Fri, 06 July 2007 21:13 I too, vote OBLIV. Yeah agreed he is the best choice.
If anyone here deserves it, I would say Oblivion does. My other vote would go to JBall.
Thanks guys

Oh we all know EWD or someone will get it, I was just thanking them for the support
I want to see viking become mod. I have this vision of what Crimson's head would look like the moment before it exploded. Viking being mod will achieve that and confirm my suspisions.
^ I love how you never post anything productive, and find it amusing to de-rail topics, and throw in obvious flames to people on these forums.
Vote me, Vote me
Tbh, I dont think moderating position should be picked by the community. Being a fan-favourite doesn't mean your the best for the job, which I'm sure Crimson has already looked at. She knows that some of the people on here are decent for the job, but going ahead and picking the person everyone votes for IMO, may not be the best move. Im not saying I have anything against Oblivion, EWD (Go EWD!)OR any other candidate for this position. When she wants to make a clear topic for it, I think there should be a few more names amongst them then what Viking has up. EWD isnt up there, and I'll bet he has a few votes. I think this race, if it goes down to a community vote- Will go down to EWD Oblivion, Or J_ball.
If anything I think Crimson should be the one to start the poll, and the one to select the people to be on the pole. The moderator election (if there will be one, mind you) should be as it was when the community elected moderators the last time.
Once again, I will consult with the other moderators before making a decision. I appreciate knowing what you guys think about who could take icedog's place, though.
Dutch Neon wrote on Sat, 07 July 2007 02:48 EvilWhiteDragon for mod! I appreciate your support, but thb, I think that Crimson wouldn't be too happy with me as mod, as in terms of rules which should be applied, we have a totally different opinion. Of course I would adapt etc. but I think that I wouldn't bee to happy with it, as, as far as I see, there isn't much moderating done, and I would like to have it more strictly moderated.
Me thinks mister renerage should learn to appreciate humour abit more. And viking i think veryone understands by now that you are in favor of oblivion. -Ghost-
Renerage wrote on Sat, 07 July 2007 00:43 ^ I love how you never post anything productive, and find it amusing to de-rail topics, and throw in obvious flames to people on these forums. You sir fail. Not only was it productive by me throwing my vote in for viking but I flamed no one. I in no way derailed the topic because in fact mine was about who should be mod and why I believe that was. I do believe that is what this topic is about. On the other hand your post had zero to do with the topic and was a completly unneeded flame at me. So in short please stfu and never post anything in my direction again unless you plan you remove your head from your rectum. Good day.

Anyone ever heard the phrase: 'Those who seek power, seek to abuse it.' ?
If your talking about me thats not it at all. Just look at this place like a job, I put in the time, I show up everyday and I've been here for 3 years. I have some seniority but I'm still in my entry level position. I'm just kinda dead ended...
Ancient_and_forever wrote on Sun, 08 July 2007 09:44 Anyone ever heard the phrase: 'Those who seek power, seek to abuse it.' ? That's a fucking stupid quote. Should I stop pursuing my education, so I can get a higher than entry level job, which entails more money and power for me? Should I be an average employee, so I don't move up the ranks? Should I not pursue politics and make a difference in my country because it would give me power?

No, your assumption about my reply is what makes you and others get flamed to Hell because you misinterpret my response. My reply wasn't meant to jump down anybody's throat. It was my response to the stupid quote. Never once did I go, "how can you be so fucking stupid as to believe that shit?" Which I would have said if I was to jump down your throat.
Everyone knows the Renegade community revolves around becoming more important than others, why do you need to repeat it?
So far, CanadaCDN has taken the idea of having a mod-ship here as seriously as it should be taken... not that seriously, it's only forums...
I don't think it should be decided by post count, because obviously half of someones post could be spam, the mod should be someone who is actually helpful to the community (aka oblivion or someone along those lines).

I work closely with Canadacdn from time to time so I didn't think it would be appropriate for me to do the signature advertisement as well. I think people know who I am and where I stand on the subject so I'm going to leave it at that. Good guy though, nothing wrong with throwing some respect his way

I just approach it with the same easy-going attitude I face everything else with. There's nothing wrong with that, is there?
So where is this new poll at? Your killing me with the wait, I got this whole knot thing going on.
I'm discussing it with the other moderators. I'm not sure I'm even going to do a poll.
Just give mrpirate the position now, you know it would liven this place up a little
Crimson wrote on Thu, 12 July 2007 07:23 I'm discussing it with the other moderators. I'm not sure I'm even going to do a poll. Is that because: 1. you already have someone to be the new mod? Or 2. you think you don't need any new mods?
3) I'm the boss. Seriously though, I discussed with the mods. We all expressed our opinions, I made a decision, and as soon as most of them have replied that they have no problem with my choice, I'm going to move forward with it.
tbh, i don't think there needs to be a new moderator because lets face it.. not much moderating goes on here.

More moderation would be nice, but let's just wait for Crimson's descision. Apparently she already made that, so there is no point in discussing about it for now.

They don't choose you so you can go decide how you moderate =/.
Because, of course, I meant I was going to completely change the rules to suit my needs! I would just use my discretion, which is less lenient than the current.
Tell us your plans canada if you become mod!

It's a mysterious world and people out there. For myself, I just keep it inside, as if I could become a mod.
I say delete couple, including Crimson jk Crim
Please don't reply in this topic. Your saying can be your downfall.
I have no idea but surely Crimson has heard from her moderators by now...the waiting game continues.
