Vote for me. This has been my life long dream to be a moderator of CAG, the measuring stick of all websites.[/QUOTE]

How sad.......:roll:

I'll congratulate you when you have something to be congratulated for, if you really need your ego stroked so much.

[quote name='neocisco']It's obvious this fool just craves attention. Don't give it to him and he'll go away. CAG will be much better for it.[/QUOTE]

If only that were true. This oft uttered phrase (or a slight dirivation of it) has seen the boards so often, and it's rare that such an event does occur, even if the attention does dry up.

And when has the attention ever actually dried up? If we ignore them, they make an even more inflammatory or idiotic thread and it starts right back up.

The first requirement is to change that crappy Evanescence picture under your name.
 
[quote name='bostonfrontier']Bostonfrontier for Moderator '05

I'll put a postive spin on CAG. Get rid of all the bad guys. Make sure all threads are where they should be and correct all the spelling mistakes and gramatical errors.

Only for some of the more grevious and talented transgressors, or those with the CAG version of a "Papal Indulgence".

Many of the lesser-known will go through cycles of dormancy and activity, yet most really never leave.

[quote name='AngellicLulu']You're the best Sweeney. I'd vote for you :lol:[/QUOTE]

That's right. :)
Everyone would much rather have a Bill Clinton or JFK than a Richard Nixon or GW Bush.

To the OP:

Cheapy and the other current mods decide when they need another mod due to growth of the site, when one leaves CAG or "retires" from being a mod, or there's more work than needs to be handled by the current group of mods.

Cheapy and the other current mods have conversation among themselves about who they think would be a good fit for the position, people they think would be an asset to the site and offer up assistance in moderating the forums and dealing with issues related to the site. They decide on how many candidates they need, and they ask them if they accept or not. If they accept, they're made a mod. If not, then they move onto the next candidates in the list.

You can't campaign to be mod. All that will do is generate heckles and general flaming, as a few of the other posters have so graciously handed you. Cheapy and the other mods know who will make a good mod and who won't, and they'll ask those that will be good fits for the job.

And I wanted to offer a hearty thank-you for all those who given me such nice compliments. Thanks. ;)

P.S. To the OP, thanks for asking me to pay first on my attempt to work out a deal with you. Very enlightening. ;)

We heckle, because we care. :)
I believe Shrike has probably said all that needs to be said. Of course, I'm sure that if you do continue that there will be a wide assortment of others that would be happy to heckle and taunt. :)

Yep, he started showing up again about a month ago. Same Terry Tate signature as always.

punqsux was always one of my favorite posters on the board.
 
For a quick fix, get rid of BF in '06.

Just another roadblock in the success of this website. Nothing an IP ban wouldn't fix.

:rofl: about him ask Crafty Old fucker to pay first :rofl:
 
[quote name='Mr.Answer']How many CAG Mod reiterees are there now?[/QUOTE]

The only other one I can remember was Nintendogirl outside of Punq.
 
[quote name='Mr.Answer']Is daphatty still around?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, but he doesn't get much time to get on here, due to his job.

Why did Punq leave? Was there a thread about this?

A combination of Jaket abusing his mod powers and JimmieMac being unbanned. It's in a OTT, not sure which one.

I'm curious as well.

Everyone does this stuff in the OTT's...I rarely venture into those...thanks.

I think it may have dribbled a bit into "Punqsux for mod of the year campaign headquaters" as well.

First I've heard.... :whistle2:s

I can think of a couple of people much better suited than whoever the OP is.

Rig for one. ;)

Mikevermin.

Scorch if he gets a sedative.

Hell, even me if I didn't play the fool.
 
[quote name='Rig']Yeah, but he doesn't get much time to get on here, due to his job.[/QUOTE]Well he quit his job so he's been on a little bit in the past few weeks. Don't know that he does any actual modding these days though.

Though flattering, I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that Captain Caveman would be a more suitable mod than OP.

EDIT: I'm probably too much of a jackass myself, anyway. I'm one of those "far too sensitive liberal" types who'd lambast everyone who uses words like "gay."

Assuming it would be offered or that I'd want it, of course.

Johnny Damon's a CAG? :lol:

Sad to hear that Punq is gone; he was a nice guy.

Well, we still have some great moderators here, and more importantly, great members. So, we'll be fine. :)

Thanks for the info zewone. I didn't know that but makes since now.
 
It doesn't really matter though... You use such big words to insult people they don't even realized you made the look dumb. No harm, no foul.

As for Jackassery- See: Jaket, SneakyPenquin, and to an extent- Punq and Shrike.

You don't have to be perfect, just be smart, honest and responsible... or in Jakets case, know Cheapy. :p

[quote name='Mr.Answer']How many CAG Mod reiterees are there now?[/QUOTE]
Retirees:

NintendoFanGirl
SneakyPenguin

And as it might be, punqsux.

If there were more, they were before my time.

[quote name='shipwreck']shrike, do your job and move this to the CAG News, Feedback & Site Assistance board. [/QUOTE]
Done. ;)
 
[quote name='shipwreck']I wouldn't mind being a mod because then you could just delete spam that you see, or move topics to the correct forums. I like things neat and orderly, so I think it would be nice to be able to contribute to the site in that manner.[/QUOTE]

Yaeh, I agree. I'm on here quite a often and try to help out as much as I can/provide deals, though my own RS Anime thread isn't doing so hot, because I don't hae too much time to update it.

[quote name='zewone']The latest one is punqsux, which sux because he was a shoe-in for mod of the year.[/QUOTE]

After reading this, it comes as truly a shocker. Some people must have said some truly idiotic stuff to get punq out. He was great. Probably my second favorite mod after Shrike. The only other mods that I know retired were NintendoFanGirl and Sneaky (which I still don't understand how that one came about. He should have stayed and from what I could tell people should have been kinder.).
 
[quote name='uzumaki_star']Thanks for the link GuilewasNK. I just read this and I can understand Punq sentiment.[/QUOTE]

Yeah. That was why I asked him why he even bothered with it anymore. I have my theories about NintendoFanGirl. She was really nice and was the definition of "no gimmicks necessary" (see my custom title). She acted like a real person instead trying to act like some internet celebrity or shock jock personality.

I'm pretty sure she left, because CAG went from this friendly place to share deals and videogame discussion, to "I'm an asshole and everyone's gonna know it." people coming in everyday. It just wasn't her style or something she wanted to be around.

Yeah, NintendoFanGirl was cool. She was always posting Nintendo deals that were just barely deals though. That always cracked me up. If she ever found a Nintendo game for $1 cheaper than retail, it had a thread by damn. :)

Sneaky went off to school and decided that's where his time was better spent, from what I know of.

NFG, I think she decided that she had other things worth doing than dealing with CAG. At least, that's my $0.02.
