questions

To become a Mod, i will even stop using the forum and JUST moderate it, i just want the power to shut people up when they go to far.

Power. Heh. A mod craves not these things. Much to learn, you still have.

I sense a plot to destroy the forum. A smoke cloud of the Force surrounds Hobo.

Not sure if this was meant to be a marijuana joke, but I found that hilarious

A Mace Windu marijuana joke :)

Haha, not power, DS really annoyed me with the racist comment. and like i said, i would even STOP using the forum.. and if i was a Jedi, i'd be a Grey Jedi(yes i love star wars) and a grey jedi is one that doesn't ally themselves with Sith or Jedi =) so i would make myself a neutral entity of moderation =)

A smoke cloud of the Force surrounds Hobo =) it always shall padawans. LOL

Ender.. I implore you. Let me do this, Trial me? lol

I think that Bots4 are involved enough to have Hobo as it's Moderator :D

Hmm, I replied to a bmail about this before reading this, so I'll post my reply here so everyone knows where I stand:

-----

The game doesn't even have support for moderation yet. Plus I've already passed moderation responsibilities to someone else (including the hiring of new mods).

And you may not know this about me, but I am extremely hands-off about moderation. Unless you're spamming or doing something illegal, I'm not going to intervene. Racist jokes, though deplorable, do not fall into this category.

"I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

Hope the Bots 2 mods won't be returning... Talk about being on a power trip. ;p

some of the nobs who make racist jokes dont need mods to take care of them. good people can just use their common sense and do whats necessary (:

I'll make myself the racism mod =)


Starting from....NOW!

Racism is and will always remain a central issue in most countries, which scars every aspect of economic, cultural and political life by overt or covert racism acts, either in an offensive loud bang or in a subtle manner. In many ways racial discrimination and ethnic discrimination blur the line of accepted and unaccepted societal norms. That to subjugate others, either through perpetuation of violence or words is a phenomenon as old as time. Superiority by playing the race card to make others feel inferior is racism. What is disconcerting are the racism facts, figures and the damage caused to the individual and society as a whole.

Why are the racist-mod always a white person?

/Int

I dont know how can someone be a racist with so many cute Asian girls :D

Maybe because through history white people have committed the worst racist atrocities? so mayhap white people feel bad now? personnally(stated this before) i have ALOT of friends who AREN'T white..

so many cute Asian girls :D


Hooah!!

Racism is not just confined to the white man.

Only more common.

^

You sure? Yes we hear about it more, but that doesn't necessarily make it more common.

yes it does, OBVIOUSLY =)

I'm no racist bit i laugh at racist jokes :D

> I'm gonna marry a Japanese business woman <

Racist jokes are the best, depending on company, who tells them and context.

I think everyone is 'racist' to some degree. It's embedded in our genes. We do not trust or like what we don't know.

It's not just race. We're just prone to categorize people. Us vs them. Man / women. Children / adults. Team X / team Y. And how retarded is it to think people from a neighbour country, or even another city, are actually 'different' from you? Rhetorical question, because you're fully retarded if you think that. Because you're letting your primitive part of the brain control you. We have evolved since the stone age, and our intelligence should be able to override primal instincts. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to apply to part of the population :-/

Im with team Y btw. Go Y go!

im with the team stoner, coz stoners always get along, coz they have that common ground of smoking weed dispite race, religous belief and all that other crap =) and yes i know everyone is sick of me and my stonerness, but i've been a stoner my whole life basically, its part of who i am.

@Jans, we are all the same, i call my aboriginal friends brothers from another mother, =)

on pretty much ALL forums, nobody can request to become a MOD and actually become one. If the admins watch you, like your actions, they will contact YOU on their own terms and ask if you want to become one.

That's how it works :)

What kenson said. Especially if I disagree with your reasons for becoming a mod.

"This guy said something I don't like, can I be a mod so I can delete his posts?"

It's the Internet. People are going to say things you don't like. Deal with it.

Also, a lot of them are trolling.

=) it was worth a try (=

Well, points for not complaining about my decision. :p

How can i? Your the head honcho. And you seem like a reasonable guy, and i'd feel like a douche arguing for that reason.

Although i'm not deafeted yet, and i'm determind =)

Not to derail this thread, but oh my god Ender you just used a Voltaire quote and I may have to marry you because of it...
