New OT Moderator Nominations
 
It has become apparent recently that Off-Topic Discussion could do with another Moderator to assist SeaRex, Rich, and myself, as all three of us have multiple tasks and forums to manage. So, we are now opening nominations for another Moderator.

Open Positions
Off-Topic Discussion (1 Available)

Conditions
  • Must be registered for over a year (before 6th/07/2005).
  • Must have more than 200 posts.
  • Must have been active within the last two weeks.
  • Must not have been banned before.

Rules
  • You may nominate yourself or someone else.
  • If you are nominated by someone else, you must post in this thread and accept your nomination, otherwise it will not be considered.
  • You may not "overly" promote yourself, although a comment in a sig is fine, but topics asking for people to vote for you, etc are not allowed.

Nominations will be open for one week (until July 13), after which a vote by private message will be held, running for a period of one week.

Current Nominees (Eligible & Self-Accepted)
  • AlphaScrab
  • AquaticAmbi
  • Godlesswanderer
  • Havoc
  • Kimon
  • nate_dog_woof
  • old and not so tasty
  • Rex Tirano
  • Statikk HDM

E'l Scrabino 07-06-2006 12:01 AM

I've never been banned! I've got over 200 posts! I have been active for the last 2 weeks! I can't do the year bit though... Dang nammit... :crying:

Alcar 07-06-2006 12:08 AM

We didn't need to know that. This thread is for nominations and any discussions about the need/want/etc of another Moderator. Cluttering the thread will only make my job more timely when it comes to tallying.

Alcar...

Havoc 07-06-2006 01:33 AM

Since I would like to help out in OT, I would like to nominate myself for this position. Thank you.

Havoc

Mutual Friend 07-06-2006 02:04 AM

I nominate Used. Or Kimon. They both have heads on their shoulders, which gives them an advantage over most people...

Can we go minus votes? If so, I negative-nominate Jacob. And Havoc. The shameless self-promoter.

Havoc 07-06-2006 02:31 AM

The rules say I can nominate myself. Why are you throwing a fuss, I didn't break any rules...

Mutual Friend 07-06-2006 02:45 AM

I'm really not throwing a fuss. :)

Xavier 07-06-2006 02:54 AM

used and havoc seem excellent choises to me

Rich 07-06-2006 03:36 AM

Havoc or Rexy as they are both constantly helping me by telling me of things that need doing in OT.

That proposition would be fine except for one little bloch on my resume. Yeah, umm, remeber back in december, mods, when I called the Xbox 360 a sex toy? Yeah, it kinda got me banned for a week. It feels so ironic now as I was thinking of the Wii and not the 360.

Anywho, if I had to choose at least three people that I think would be great to run OT, I would choose Mutual Friend, Ambi, or Kimon.

Mutual Friend 07-06-2006 04:36 AM

I'm not legible for this, I've only been here since late April of this year. I know, seems like a lifetime.

As for Used being banned... who cares? Does that really matter? Seems a little unfair. He's quite obviously a reformed character.

But please no Havoc. Have you people READ his posts on the off-topic forum?! If Havoc became moderator I'd be banned from this place within a week! A week, people!

Go Used and/or Kimon, says I.

used:) 07-06-2006 05:03 AM

Well, you try again next year. Hopefully this sliver of our population will still be here. Even so, I still would recomend you being a nomination.

It seems like every summer we have these elections/selections. I remember the last one where Dino was complaining about Stingbee and Conker Rocket which later sparked a staff reformation.

You driving me crazy and you deserving warnings are two diffrent things. I always moderate fairly. I may hate your guts, but I never abuse my moderator position. And besides, I can't ban you without the rest of the staff team agreeing to it anyway. So you won't have to worry your fuzzy little head about that :).

Mutual Friend 07-06-2006 05:34 AM

Ahem.

"Don't give me all the credit for hating you either, because if you think I'm the only one hating you and looking to give you that third warning fir the first little fit I can find, you're sadly mistaking."

Now... that doesn't give off the 'moderating fairly' vibe to me. ;) < Keeping it light-hearted!

If Havoc became moderator...
isn't he alredy moderator, and what is OT moderator?
i vote for REX TIRANO or rexy I'm not sure or Havoc.

Nate 07-06-2006 06:07 AM

*sigh*

I'll nominate Ambi and second Rexy.

EDIT: I guess that's actually thirding Madame Rexy.

Havoc 07-06-2006 06:25 AM

You happen to be in a place where every little fit counts. Thats not my fault, I didn't give you your first warnings...

And stop arguing, this topic isn't about you.

Mojo 07-06-2006 06:41 AM

I have nothing to add. But still I post :P. My nominee is Rexy.

Oh, and I nominate myself. OWH is soooooo not active :P.

Mutual Friend 07-06-2006 06:47 AM

:

No, it's about US!!

Just read that to yourselves with some really over-dramatic orchestral music in the background.

I was merely questioning your suitability as an OT moderator, which is entirely relevant to this topic.

Do you actually do any moderating in OH? That place needs cleaning up whenever I go there. Seriously, it's pointless topics capital of the universe.

AquaticAmbi 07-06-2006 07:28 AM

Nate has my vote all the way.

But I'd also like the job, so I can stop PMing Luke with random things I notice and do them myself. :p I've probably screwed myself over with recent events, but to err is human.

SeaRex 07-06-2006 08:22 AM

MF, if Havoc gets the job, he still won't be able to ban anyone.

All of the warnings will still have to come through me, and to a lesser extent, Alcar, before a full ban is put into effect.

madder128 07-06-2006 09:04 AM

I'd like to vote for someone but due to the fact i don't really no anyone well i will leave it, maybe next time.

Rex Tirano 07-06-2006 09:31 AM

Hn... I'd like to nominate myself [however looks like I'm late to it].

I'll come back to you with my vote, I want to see who's up first.

- Rexy

used:) 07-06-2006 11:24 AM

I also nominate Oanst.

OANST 07-06-2006 11:40 AM

Aaahhhhh. My hat has been thrown into the political ring. I wrung my hands and waited in silence for so long. I have stood by while tyranny and evasiveness have ruled the day. I HAVE GIVEN MY SOUL TO YOU, THE LOYAL ODDWORLDIANS AND NOW I SHALL REAP THE BENEFITS OF MY GOOD HEARTEDNESS. I SAY TO YOU YEA. I WILL ACCEPT THE NOMINATION FOR PRESIDENT OF ODDWORLD! I WILL......hold on.....what bryan? Speak up man, I can't hear you. This isn't for.....It's only off top..........I ACCEPT MY NOMINATION FOR OFF TOPIC MODERATOR AND I VOW THIS TO YOU NOW, A VOTE FOR ME IS A VOTE FOR HOPELESSLY POINTLESS THREADS! A VOTE FOR ME IS A VOTE FOR BEDLAM! A VOTE FOR ME IS A VOTE FOR ME BEING A JACKASS!


I gather everyone will be voting for me.

used:) 07-06-2006 11:45 AM

Ja wohl mein Fuhrer!

Godlesswanderer 07-06-2006 03:48 PM

I'm putting in my vote for the lovely Rexy.

And also, me. I fit the conditions, so why not? :)

Slaveless 07-06-2006 04:37 PM

This is a very difficult decision on my part. Yet, I think there is one person who stands out the most

I will nominate AquaticAmbi. She has every moderator ability I can think of. If she is bugging Luke to do something in a topic, she has the moderating ability. She also tells people moderator advice, even though isn't one. In fact, she was the first one to tell me to desize my old signature. Ambi is also commited to post in anything non-Oddworld related topic. I don't think I have ever seen her post in Zulag 1, or even the bottom half of Zulag 2.

My hope is that Ambi gets the OT moderator posistion. She deserves better than being a simple common member.

OANST 07-06-2006 07:54 PM

I nominate Abeguy. Only because it would drop the forum into a dark era of dumbosity and give me lots of excuses and opportunities to be a jerk. A funny jerk, mind you. Don't you ever forget how damn funny I am.
