I say Kitty, Snow White Queen, and Nate Winchester. >.<

Thats the hardest part, there are too many good people. Too hard to choose :(

I think I’ll just go ahead and remind people that the traits of a good moderator are: responsibility, thoughtfulness, and objectivity.

Yeah… but you see, in the old forums a lot of the moderation effort went into making sure Rand didn’t get into trouble, is the thing. You need the moderators to be internet veterans.

I’m going to go ahead and nominate Artimaeus. :P

I can be a good, just not kind or whimsy. I stand for truth and reason, not making people feel good and secure about things. I don’t rule with favoritism or other nepotist concerns, and in my opinion every member is the same by rights, even the unpopular ones or new ones. If biting words are needed to open some eyes I don’t mind biting words. Decorum is a false impression of what we really think and feel inside. I think that just disarms people from seeking the truth. They see someone say soft and gentle words and assume they have experienced life and have maturity, but that is just another illusion people hide behind. The real truth is in the reasons, not the voice, not the face, not the kindness.

This is why I am a bastard by title, you see, people like me are seen as cruel and vicious for being honest and critical. I don’t like hiding shit behind a sophisticated facade. If I disagree I disagree openly, and that disturbs people who want peace and tranquility.

Might as well play my role as bastard since I have a vitriolic sense of humor too.

Almost all of religion is perverted philosophy and ethics. A noble lie.

But let’s not talk about that since people get hurt when we do.

Not really. I’m not much of a team player unless people can give me a compelling argument for violating my principles. I might disagree with the other mods.

Perhaps I was being too general. Provoking a reaction isn’t necessarily the same thing as saying something significant. I can certainly provoke a reaction by throwing a couple of key words such as “abortion”, “homosexuality”, “George W. Bush” and “Obama” into an internet forum, but don’t have to say anything significant about them.

There we go.

And let’s not derail this thread.

My votes for lccorp2 and SWQ as well.

O.o Someone nominated me? Wow. Though technically I was a “mod” on the old forums, but I don’t know if that crosses over here. And I’m a mod on a few other websites….not that I’m bragging or anything. whistles innocently

If “everyone who contributes” is too many, I’ll go for LordSnow, SWQ and Ari.

‘course not! Sly is only giving us the illusion of freedom and democracy, but in truth he has already deployed an AI who can both moderate AND suck your soul like sherbet…

Thanks for the nominations everyone.

What ever happened to my old mod comrades, like SSD? And Legion?

Who ever is moderators must be prepared for emergencies like….

I don’t think coup is the word I want.

Yeah, that’ll work.

Lol I just saw it. Win-dom.

‘We’ as in ImpishIdea or ‘We’ as in Lord Snow’s other life?

Sucks, doesn’t it? I don’t know why we can’t just sit around as brains in tanks and sponge off internet connections.

EDIT: Does that even make sense?

Except then we’d lose our sense of escape.

what are mmo’s?

Lol. Swenson and I are setting up a monopoly thread.

‘We’ as in ImpishIdea or ‘We’ as in Lord Snow’s other life?

We as in ImpishIdea. Gah, my friend nearly lost her job for offering that opportunity, too. Those guys are indecent.

These are the questions we came up with.

• How many full rewrites have you done?

• How do you research information when writing?

• Are there times when you have to take charge of your work as an author, and reject an editor’s suggestion? What suggestions have you ignored?

• What advice to you offer young writers?

• What do you think is the greatest selling point of your series?

• What is your least favorite aspect of writing?

• What advice can you give to an aspiring writer on the process of editing his/her manuscript and submitting it to an agent or publisher? What tips do you have for getting one’s manuscript recognized among a pile of slush among thousands of other manuscripts sitting on an editors desk?

• Do you have anything to say to your critics? (Elaborate if necessary on criticisms)

• Why have you avoided writing from Murtagh’s point of view?

• How much do you write in a day?

• What techniques do you use to improve, develop, and evolve your writing skills?

• What’s the best book ever written?

I think you can agree, those questions were pretty tame all around.

DAMNDAMNDAMN?

Yes but being as how he’s on record saying he likes to provoke people, he’ll be the first suspect whenever posts are deleted.

Deleting posts is stupid.

I’d have 10x more fun with the ability to impersonate a member.
