Never been a mod. or admin. Wow, to have the power to judge over threads... I'd be strict, but fair... *Starts dreaming about being a co-mod of the Help Section*

well, the picture in my signiture takes up about as much space as all of Reptiles signiture. But if it is really that much of a hassle for everyone, I will change it. Just tell me.

Just make it smaller so it obeys the rules.

Ditto what Fax said... True, it may have the same space as other sigs do, but the size limits are there (I believe) as a sort of curtousey thing, so theres no annoyingly large sigs or anything. Not that yours is annoying or anything, I think its just better to stick within whats written:)

Yeah, just change the width.

Mojo	07-17-2003 05:51 PM

Don't you mean height? :D

As far as I can remember, I make a pretty good admin. The problem is, a forum with an army of admins and mods can easily put people off.

Most confusing, would you care to explain?

Alcar

My interpretation would be, that the fear of our eventual death limits us to what we do. We are afraid that death could strike at any time.

Interestingly, I am not actually the grim reaper, this is a FORUM name. I can see the joke in it though, just didn't really find it funny.

We know you're not grim reaper. Only fools would believe that.

So, hows it going anyway, death? When do I die? :p

Do you mind? I am trying to be sarcastic!

But seriously, select me as a mod, or at least custom title "Security Guard". That would be cool, I could kind of police the forum, warning the mods of fights, useless threads etc. by PM.

Just think how useful that would be!

Alcar

07-20-2003 07:13 AM

We already have people like that. Although you never know about them because they report to me in secret.

*scary music*

Alcar...

Fortunately, I know who these people are. (sorry but they are just really obvious!)

But that isn't what I mean - you need someone who does the same job as the covert squealers, but in the public eye so people know that they are being watched, perhaps then people would start to behave!

Just a suggestion, worth a shot at least.

Alcar

07-20-2003 07:29 AM

What!? The OWF Secret Ninja's have been discovered! Never! They are stealthy and silent. They attack via PMs, ICQ, MSN, AIM and Oddchat.

But not at the moment, we already have Moderators that do that job. And the sort of thing you are proposing isn't something new, other members long beforehand have suggested it as well.

Alcar...

Then perhaps it is a good idea? The "OWF Secret Ninja's" as you call them are anything but stealth. Don't forget, I have been watching this forum for a long long time, this includes alot of PMs, and the staff section. I can tell who uses AIM, MSN, ICQ, and what users are associated with certain "Guests".

For the duration of my posting here however, I have forbidden myself from attacking the security of the OWF, to maintain the privacy and security of people who may soon become "Freinds".

Alcar

Oh no, don't hold back. I'm very eager to hear this as well. But seriously, I doubt the forums will collapse.

this Death character sounds cool. He should moderate us all.

well, Alcar got what I was saying about Death moderating us all. Maybe I should have replaced "moderate" with "vindicate," as in "death" justifying our right to live free.

...no comment...

Wait, we have secret ninjas? This is new to me... How come I don't have a cool sword, and get to mercilessly slaughter people! I'm stuck here being a stupid mod, while other people get to be ninjas. Waaaaaaaah!

And anywyas, no offense Death, but why exactly do you center every one of your posts? Kinda creepy...

Seems to me the last few people who threatened to 'harm' the site were banned.

Might want to watch what you say, Death. That's not a threat, and I don't have the power to ban people personally. But I figured I'd let you know, just the same.

If you want to be secret ninja thing, great, you're hired. As my assistant.

If you see something not so good, click 'report post'.

Sound good, fish tickler?

Thanks I appreciate that!

I am a great beleiver in the idea that by not posting stuff I remember from PMs I won't be compramising my position here at OWF, because if I do not post any content from any PMs, then I will most likely not make any enemies, or break any rules, or piss anyone off for publicly displaying a private message. Being called a liar beats getting kicked out for hacking the forum. It's not excuses, it's priorities.

And anywas, no offense Death, but why exactly do you center every one of your posts? Kinda creepy...

I have this thing about being enigmatic and anonymous, that is kind of why I liken myself to the Death character. The reason I center align my text, is because it stands out, and because it looks good. Any other effects are just purely accidental or unitended.

So there you have it. See? I am a person with as many feelings as you.

Sound good, fish tickler?

Most certainly semilobed brat with the education of an undomesticated turkey. (Inside joke)
