We've seen changes from "X and Y Forum Moderator" and "X Forum Moderator" to "1337 Moderator", "Super Moderator", "Assistant Moderator"...

the owners just cleaning up, or is a change being made to the moderatorship hierarchy? New levels being added in?

St Leo · November 3, 2003, 22:29

BTW, I don't think UR has banning privileges yet, Asher. He just has the power to lock every thread you start and delete every post you make.

Congratulations Urban Ranger

Did you not quoted a post you made in Counterglow in which you stated the reason for destroying the Mac forum is for revenge?

Consider that you continually flaming and flame-baiting the Mac people, I found your accusation of me being biased is highly hypocritical.

One last thing. Don't flatter yourself. You are not important enough for me to hold a grudge against.

I've never claimed myself to be unbiased, though, so I don't see your point.

Of course I am biased.

Of course not, it's just a pure coincidence that whenever you post something you call me "Glonkie" and always take issue with what I say.

Modding would appeal to those who in real life are "important title deprived" I imagine.

I particularly like the "super moderator" title in that respect.

Now, banning someone for something they did on ANOTHER SITE is a bit extreme, don't you think?

Alexander's Horse · November 3, 2003, 23:51

extreme is the trend

And was he banned for all the childish stuff he posted over there.... no... But that doesn't mean that people didn't see it

What do you think the point was in posting it on a different site.

Though it is interesting Urban Ranger has implied that this has something to do with his moderation on this site.

Hmmm... he implied no such thing. He was using it as a support point, nothing more. You are the one that's trying to see things that aren't there

As he states... you aren't important enought to effect decisions being made here.

I dunno, I don't see the point in him bringing it up. Of course the Mac forum thing was a form of revenge, the main proponents of that forum got away with rampant insults against my SO with no recourse for the moderators, so I felt it was fair enough.

You've said that a hundred times now and I'm not arguing that, please get with the times and differentiate between effect and affect while you're at it.

mrmitchell · November 4, 2003, 00:11

Asher...give it up.

Or, better yet, YES, there IS a huge international conspiracy dedicated to keeping you off Apolyton. Every Mac has a hidden fee added onto its price (that's why they're so damn expensive) that goes to kickbacks for Markos and Dan to piss you off. They intentionally ignore the Mac forum until you make it an issue (that I only barely understand the logic behind you sometimes) and then they make UR a mod to keep you out of the OT as well. And it's not just Dan and Mark. It's everyone. We all recieve huge paychecks every time we exclude you and demonise you, Asher.

And that's not all! The broadcasting networks are paid to encode subliminal "Asher sucks" messages in every television show and song on the radio. You know that static you get on the radio? Play it backwards, and it's saying "Asher sucks, Asher sucks, Asher sucks, Asher sucks"...

But that's just the start of it. The government--the US Gov. and its Canadian branch both--send out mind-control waves through huge "thought towers" (disguised as cell phone towers) that tell people "Macs are great, PCs suck, Asher does too".

If this wasn't enough, read between the lines! A vast Illuminati plot, kept alive from the 15th century to this day by government officials who dislike Asher (and his previous incarnations apparently), dictates that in EVERY SINGLE TRANSMISSION OF THOUGHT there exists a hard-coded Asher dislike frequency to be broadcast. When you're only thinking, this signal is radioed out to thousands within the range of it...a new chip for its transmission is implanted into every newborn baby by the FBI. The chips are supplied by aliens, who also hate you.

Asher, the whole world is out to get you. Your best chance is to cook up inane nutcase conspiracy theories about it, before it's too late and one night while you're jacking off to your Pentium 4 EXTREME Edition, you're silently vaporised by Big Brother. (Who also uses a Macintosh. Your ass is screwed as firmly as it could be.)

Asher · November 4, 2003, 00:14

Holy hell, it was a joke to begin with and at first people took it seriously and now people are trying very hard to make long, bad jokes about it some time after.

Give it up already.

mrmitchell · November 4, 2003, 00:16

Oh no! They've already gotten to you! Now you're starting to delude yourself into thinking there is no conspiracy, while in fact there is the biggest one to have ever been dedicated solely to making the life of one person miserable.

Alexander's Horse · November 4, 2003, 00:25

I've pretty much had a problem with everyone on the site but I can't remember any differences with UR......

Asher otoh......

ACK!

Well? You have the power don't you?

PLATO · November 4, 2003, 01:06

If this were a political site then I would run from this announcement, but after some thought I can't really recall a time UR was blatantly unfair. Fairness in enforcing the rules is the guage of a good moderator afterall. Good Luck UR. I don't usually agree with your politics but I'm behind ya in your new endeavor!!

Way behind you.

Why did they make him a mod then?

Imran Siddiqui · November 4, 2003, 02:19

And as far as Imran goes... he has also had run in's with people on this site before... so why do you hold UR to different standards.

'Cause I'm sexier

Anyway, I consider this a very suprising appointment as well. UR would not be on the top of the list of people I'd think would be mod. For one, I expected a European who is nicer

... like Spiffor, Stefu, or Drogue or someone like that.

In other news, I really think we should all have our own forum. Except Asher. He sucks

I put an end to the mac-spam-forum and suddenly a new Moderator is appointed in the off-topic (my main forum) who is notoriously biased against me and constantly fights with me.

Contrary to everything you've heard, it was me, Asher. Y'know, you're always supposed to watch out for the "quiet" ones — me. While you were busy with the more outspoken Macintosh users, I was working in the background, bringing to bear my strongest weapon: the media.

I have contacts throughout the media world. My friends are everywhere, from newspapers to radio stations to television to the Internet. They heard my cry for vengeance (and the fact that they owed me a few favors), and brought to bear their own influence, adding it to my own.

Thus, UR was appointed assistant moderator of 'Poly's OTF. You have learned your lesson the hard way, Asher.

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF THE MEDIA.

(OK, do I really need a

for this?)

Alexander's Horse · November 4, 2003, 04:47

I've never understood why Asher likes to set himself up for public floggings.

Jon Miller · November 4, 2003, 04:47

I must say that I am really surprised to see UR a mod

I feel that a very obvious candidate was looked over, namely ME

I mean, with all the time I have spent in Mingapulco under the tutelege of Ming, I thought I was ready to be promoted to the big time

well, I guess maybe I need a bit more expereince

The Mad Monk · November 4, 2003, 04:50

Yes.

Alex · November 4, 2003, 08:32

I'd have to say that, while I don't think that the staff have made a bad choice, I too expected to see an European moderator, someone like Spiffor.

rah · November 4, 2003, 09:39

A good morning read. Thanks all.
