Ok, I changed my mind! Land Of Grey And Pink will be an excellent moderator! With his two months experience from the board, and the fact that I'm jealous of him, well. What can we say!

Thanks for correcting me. Your reply to estimate's post made me think you were pissed(angry).

I think it's safe to say so, since you just returned here.

ive been here a lot longer than 2 months actually. Just under a different name. I wont post it though, for i left the name for a reason, nor is it important, for you and ABCDEFG seem to be the only 2 opposing my possible moderation position....which is...less than threatening. :Smug:

I was on the mountaintop, and lo, I heard he cry of the people! Thus I made my trek downward from my hermit hole to see the lambasting of many trolls eating the flesh of the weary! Hehe...hello everyone. This thread was brought to my attention to I read through it all. I say put it up for a vote. Seems like the few people mentioned in the beginning have gotten multiple thumbs up. Here's my thing with modding, I don't mind off topic stuff, kinda like general chat but not to the point of crazy off topic stuff. A band's forum shouldn't SOLELY about the band and the band only. Part of the fun is hanging with others fans and chatting, etc. I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about. However...it's pretty easy to spot the troublemakers and when they repeatedly annoy the hell out of people, take the proper action. With the said, it's up for a vote. name names and we'll pick a mod or two. If you all think two would be better, so be it.
Finally, a voice of sanity amidst all the madness. Honestly, you don't know how good it is to have a person with authority actually come down and say that.

With the nominations so far, I think that the main 4 people have chosen would all be great candidates. I would have nominated myself and Mr Neil because I think we've both been around these boards enough to see it through its highs and lows. Unfortunately, he's declined though.

Personally, I think two moderators would be better for the forum than one. This is one of the most frequented forums in the entire community, and I don't think one person would have the time to handle all of it.

Anyhow, thank you so much for getting back to us. Also, thanks to everyone who seems confident in nominating me aswell.
 
I think if possible, it would be best to have 2 moderators...one from 2 different sides of the world...that way there could typically be someone moderating at any given time of the day...and not 2 moderators on at the same time, and neither on in the downtime. thoughts? :cool:

Yeah, good idea! Norway is at the other side of the world!

Norway is a good example, if i was reffering to myself as one moderator. However i think you need to check your attitude at the door if you expect to be a mod. I dont feel biased opinions based on unjust anger towards other members is a good foundation to be a mod. :erk:
 
Just nominate me....If elected I will turn this board around! Here's my gubernatorial ticket.

1. One brand new "Badminton Appreciation Thread" per week!
2. All polls regarding physical appearance or USDA grade A meat and or by-products will be abolished!
3. Ggggggggggu will not be allowed to create threads only contribute to them.
4. To be a member of opeth message board you must past an online test with some questions that truly test a fan's mental acumen. Questions will include "Who is Melinda?", "What's the name of the keyboardist", "Why doesnt Night and Silent Water get played live?" and the ever so challenging "What are the lyrics to (Ending Credits)
and What does Mikael's breath smell like?

Answering these among other questions and passing with a 80% or higher score will constitute citizenship to Opethia (The message board of the moon)

Now Cast your nominations! Remember AllwithinMyMonster is just another way of saying "I Love You"
 

When someone continuously slanders me for no reason, i am going to inquire about his reasonings...as im sure everyone would. Doesnt mean i take everything too seriously. Stop being retarded please. thanks.
 
Of all the people who posted thus far in hopes of being a moderator...

Only ShroudOfDusk seems capable. The rest are either too uptight, too friendly, or...AllWithinMyMonster.


(Don't worry, baby. I still love you too. XOXO)
 
Obviously i made that post before my status of possible moderator had even been presented...and in hindsight...was a fairly decent attempt at unofficial moderation (and blowing off necessary steam). But i doubt many on this forum disagreed. Anyway, the jealousy is getting out of control here, so im just going to stand down from being voted...for i dont really care either way...im sure moonlapse, or shroud would do a fine job anyway. I guess that thread i started is what made abcdefg dislike me now, which i dont regret whatsoever.....but i guess he takes things too seriously as well? :rolleyes:

anyway, so in honor of this moderator voting...i shall do my part in standing down and ending this troll/slander fest that abcdefg and estimate has started in this thread as well.

I didn't even remember you started that thread.

I don't think I take things too seriously. These are some recent threads I've started:

What do you think? I know what you said was a joke, but still...

It really doesnt matter to me anymore. You got what you wanted, just leave it alone. I made this new name on UM to keep from fighting with people, i wanted a fresh start...with only positive/fun conversations/topics. Not to fight with strangers.

You want to be a moderator?

I said i didnt care either way, but if people thought id do a good job, then i would have done my best as one. You think a forum cant be fun or positive with some reinforcement/sensibility? I think youre just worried all your posts would get deleted probably. If i was a moderator, i wouldnt have done that...just thinned out your main post of "only post opeth topics, blah blah"
