Do democratically elected (and genuinely required) moderators have intrinsically more value than those who got their position via cronyism and/or impressment?

Not when their post count is in the low 100's. No.

Wil 01-20-2009 02:18 PM

Oh no, quite the opposite. Remember we wanted you so much that we employed you for no good reason.

Nate 01-20-2009 03:17 PM

And we fired an existing staff member just to justify keeping BM.

My heart! :(

I try to stand by my post count because most of what I post contains art or is art-related and I tend to only post when I have something extremely meaningful to say. Most of my posts (lately, anyway) grow to the length of a couple of paragraphs.

This is an exception because I wanted to explain myself. I can't recall the last time I made a one-sentence post, and I almost considered starting to reply more often to increase my count, but I don't want to change the way I am just for a number. I hope people don't mind that. ^^ If it does become a big issue, I guess I could post more...

Edit: Aiiieeee! I made a one-line post a couple of weeks ago! In conclusion I will post more often and show my face more around OT. :)

No, Aji, it’s really not any kind of issue. It’s just interesting, and slightly funny. We certainly wouldn’t want to see you stressing about your posting habits, which are just fine, even exemplary.

Some of us are just number crunching whores, the main culprits for this are Xavier, Nate, Max, Bullet Magnet, Jordan and Wings of....D:

Bottom five weakest voters:

Mox Co. Executive (12 for Wings of Fire)
OANST (7 for Used:))
Hobo (7 for Wings of Fire)
Killy (2 for Wings of Fire)

And all my posts have been moderator duties :)

Congratulations are in order. Seriously, thank you.

Wait wait wait, Splat you posted this thing on the same day of Obama's inauguration. Any chance you did that on purpose as a symbol of the shift of powers? Are you comparing me to Bush?!!! HUH?!!

If so I will give much rep.

Wings of Fire 01-21-2009 08:23 AM

Oh wow, I'm drawing comparisons left right and center here, most of them bad for Havoc.

I wonder if Bush had a penchant for cats...

I'm sure he loved that "Texas pussy".

I work with a guy who likes to talk about Texas pussy. It's fairly annoying.

Leto 01-21-2009 11:18 AM

I hope by Texas pussy, you mean that he would do the rounds of the neighbourhood and fuck all the domestic cats in the area.

Alas, he meant vagina.

Nate 01-21-2009 04:57 PM

Why Texas? Is he trying to draw a comparison to the shape of the state?

If yes, 'Map of Tasmania' is the more appropriate (although, perhaps, obscure in your country) comparison.

OANST 01-21-2009 04:58 PM

No, he just visited Texas and was enamored by the inherent sweetness that pussy from that region contains.

Strike Witch 01-21-2009 05:04 PM

Tasmania..?

Oh.

Jesus, Nate. You just ruined the whole Island for me!

Nate 01-21-2009 05:22 PM

Wait. You're a legal adult living in Australia and you've never heard the term? I am shocked.

Strike Witch 01-21-2009 05:32 PM

I know, I just never equated Tasmania with that, and now I can't unsee it.

I'm going to be snickering uncontrollably anytime somebody mentions Tasmanian Wildlife or Lost in the Tasmanian Bush.

Bullet Magnet 01-25-2009 09:26 PM

I'm scratching my head here.

Although my first guess was that, with King Island and Flinders Island, it looked vaguely like a womb and ovaries. Not the strongest resemblance, but I assumed the field of genital simulacra wouldn’t be too hung up on such triviality. Not when there’s physiology waiting to be debased.

Congratulations, Aji. You deserve this fine thread. ¬_¬

mudling 01-30-2009 04:53 AM

Congrats, you deserved it :)
I hope all of your internet troubles get sorted out. ;)
