:agree:
Yup, it's official now, guys.
Chicken contacted me the other day saying that he didn't like at all what was/is happening to WHT (with RS & everything ;)), and proposed to take over his job. :)
So now I'm the new SuperModerator on WHT :)
During the upcoming two weeks or so Chicken will stay around a bit to watch if I'm doing ok & everything, but after that, you're all mine! :dgrin:

Calm down, calm down now... If you stay quiet and behave, nothing bad will happen to you... :D :stickout

LOL

<<CHICKEN NOTE:>>
It isn't April Fool's Day. Please do not post anything involving my name and what I've 'said to you', as we've never talked. It is extremely rude that you'd even post this and if I have time, I'll email you about it. Otherwise, this will serve as notice.

teck, isn't this insulting someone? Isn't this obvious harrassment ?? :bawling:
This is against WHT's forum rules, I'm sure! :mad:

...Can I edit his post? :D

Why were you assigned to be a mod and not someone else with more experience on this forum?

What are you trying to say... that I'm not capable of taking over the entire administration task of WebHostingTalk.com forums??
:bawling:

That one hurt. :( It really did.
I work my a** up to 500 posts, and all you say is that I can't manage to do a simple thingie like this? :confused:

As the matter of fact, yes, I would. :)
Seriously. I've always dreamed of Modding around on WHT, but I don't know how to approach Chicken & co. regarding this, and I'm also afraid that the chance that they'd take me would be one out of thousand or so. :(

I understand it, though. :o
Sometimes I'm posting really stupid things around here, childish even, but I really can be serious too. Really, I can. :)

Nothing personal against DefCon, but I do have a problem with Mods promoting their businesses either in their posts or in their sigs. It smacks of a conflict of interest or a case of taking advantage of a situation. Either way, I see it as bad form.

Congratulations, at any rate. :)

LOL, ya I agree, owners should not be mods at these types of forums...

Yes, well about the promoting-my-business-thing: It's not like I'm going to delete posts from my competitors or anything! I'm an honest man, who treats everybody with the same respect & honour (if they deserve it ;)).

Oh let him do... :D
Still enjoying all the media attention I'm getting here. ;) Gosh! I didn't know a simple title could make someone feel so important... which is exactly something I don't want to let happen.
I'm just a good guy -as I already said-, who has a job to fulfill on this board, and he's going to do it ok. No hassle, no joking (except in this thread ;)), and no "oh-I'm-so-important-because-I'm-a-WHT-mod" feelings whatsoever.

:) Good evening WHT, this is your new moderator: .:: DefCon::. :)

No, you're not "elgible" (what letter's missing? look closely... ;)) for moderationship, because you have too few posts.
Sorry. :)

Well defcon its not nice to change your custome title to WHT mod when your not one.. ( Your not bolded on the front page and I doubt they would make you a mod. )

Normally you would be correct, but I think Chicken created a second group that has mod access but not as much as a regular mod....so that's probably why it's not bolded :D

Anyone care to back me up on that???:)

He's a super mod, not quite a regular moderator. DefCon, take care of Tetra will you? :) My hands are tied :(

That quote that you quoted in the post where I quoted the above from (WOW :eek: ) didn't end with the sentence you quoted ("Still enjoying all media attention here").
It was totally ripped out of the context. :rolleyes:

Allright, to Tetraboy & others who want to harrass me: please do so through PM or something, because I'm not going to edit none of your posts anymore. I think that would be unfair. ;)
I mean: I don't want to destroy the open-mindedness or freedom of speech that conquers on this forum in any way. :)

Well, you'll need to talk this over with Chicken, if you really want to become a mod. The upcoming 2 weeks he's still in charge. :)
I think we've got enough of'em already, though... :rolleyes:

Whatever the context, the quote unwittingly supports my statement. Your high visibility and responsibility as a moderator should prohibit you from displaying a sig that promotes your business. To me, you're playing both sides of the fence.
