If All The Moderators Were Banned ....

[Tommyknocker]

Yes, with the grace of a bull in a china shop.

[daamon]

I did slip it in nicely at the end there, didn't I ?

Yes, with the grace of a bull in a china shop.

So, let me get this right...

jimmalenko slipped it in the end, with the grace of (read as "blessing from") a bull, while Tommyknocker was watching who, by the way, thought the manouvre was done nicely. And they were all in a china shop...

Apart from the obvious questions, the one that also springs to mind is "Which end of the bull?"

[jimmalenko]

ummm, I think TK meant it like "as subtle as a sledgehammer"

[daamon]

I bet the bull didn't think that...

That's if it noticed...

[Capmaster]

I wonder if I am a vote getter, or just for laughs. Maybe I don't want to know

Is that all I am to you, humor value ?

That's the beauty of it. Only I know for sure <evil laugh>

But you know one name that was for sure added for humor value. I won't say who it is, but his initials are "WH"

Maybe I only added one for comedic relief Hmmm ......

[lordsmurf]

I go away for one day, and look what I miss!
One word: "wow"

lordsmurf - His replies are as long ( ) as Baldrick's...

Haven't you heard? Size doesn't matter. 8)


... and offline I go again.
The next thunderstorm should hit in about 20 minutes.
And I'll probably sit in the dark. Again.

[jimmalenko]

'night, LS

[MOVIEGEEK]

One Smurf to rule us all,although jimma is a close second
I didn't know tgpo is leaving...I guess some people have a life.

[disturbed1]

Such a hard poll. Really had to think on this one.

Lordsmurf, I think would be the least hostile mod, and do a generally fantastic job.

I like Indolikaa and all, but I think we'd have fewer forum members due to all the banning that would come forth. Or, Indolikaa would have to tone down his style, and that would just ruin it.

I thought Will Hay was the offtopic forum mod :P

[richdvd]

Lordsmurf
Second...Mats Hooberg.

[Sillyname]

I'd vote for lordsmurf, if he weren't so hard on DVDlab. I don't know where I'd go for info on it if he decided to push it out of the nest.

[offline]

Tommyknocker.

LordSmurf or Mats could have the job anytime
they wanted it. I know LordSmurf has declined
before.

TK would be a welcome seachange.

Headline news:
Just a few weeks after banning all the moderators at Videohope the MPAA begs all of them to return.
Why the change of heart by the MPAA?
A visit to the Videohope site reveals that anarchy reigns since the wholesale banning of the moderators. Membership has increased by countless millions when dramatic changes occured soon after the administrator, Boldlips and the mods including clapmustard were removed and a new group has taken control.

Here's a sample of what we found on the site says the MPAA:
.
New Club and forum
- Borrow DVD's from our free online club. Copy the movies and start your own royalty free low overhead rental business. We'll show you how and answer any questions in our new forum, "The Movie Club".

New Server and forum
- Visit our new download server and related forum for all the new pre-release Hollywood movies you can download free. We also offer overnight low cost DVD delivery guaranteed 7 days prior to theatrical release.

Guides by Moviestealer and MassProducer, new mods and contributors showing two ways to make money from our prelease movies.

MovieStealer's New guide to home theatre
- Step by step video guide on how to set up a home theatre using new releases from our site to compete with the studios and movie houses. We provide all needed equipment at wholesale prices with no interest loans for our members. Remember your showings will begin 7 days prior to usual theatrical release.

MassProducer's guide to selling movies online:
- How to mass produce DVD's from the pre-release servers for effective distribution on eBay or from your own site.

The rest of the site is even scarier says the MPAA.

My goodness! What have we done? We made a huge mistake said MPAA spokesman, Walt D. Shortsighted with tears streaming down his face. We didn't realize how good we had it.

[Tearren]

I voted Will Hay. But I think him or LordSmurf, or even as a write in on the ballot, Northcat would do an excellant job.

LordSmurf can not be a Moderator hes to bizzy fighting Gargamel LOL. Just joking LordSmurf would make a great moderator. All the stuff Lordsmurf know would ge a great benefit to this site.

Hello,

Would be?????

It already is...

He'd just be able to ban people if he became a full mod (and move stuff from forum to forum and etc.... )

[DaveS]

will hay (appreciate his sense of humor, dry as it is) ... mods needs to be knowledgable & balanced & I would think it would be tough to be fair without that...

[dun4cheap]

Well the winner is probably going to be permanantly band and told to get a life, because he spends to much time on here :P


You sicko's are only kissing up to LS to get to Smurfette

[Hardcoreruss]

I would go for Mats closely followed by DJRUMPY.

[mats.hogberg]

permanantly band and told to get a life, because he spends to much time on here :P

More likely sacked and unemployed...

/Mats

[rhegedus]

Don't care who as long as they know their stuff and isn't a postwhore.

After all, anyone can act like a moderator, but few know enough about video, dvd etc. to write with authority.

[mats.hogberg]

I beg to differ - Main characteristic should be "fair" and to apply rules equal without personal prejudice. And to hang around here more or less constantly. I don't see answering questions on the board as the main task for a mod - that's more up to us mortals.

I tend to agree.

It's not as if you have to be a guru in any particular area of video to be a mod here AFAIK. It's more about people management, and applying the rules of the forums mixed in with a bit of good ol' common sense. IMO anyway ...

Thank goodness for that, I was beginning to get worried there for a moment

Ah, yes, well, hmmm....
