New Mods Appointed!
« on: August 08, 2003, 03:16:20 pm »
After much careful deliberation*, I have selected the new moderators for the non-Achewood forums.  Many applied; few were chosen.  (Well, actually, everyone who applied was chosen.)  Along with the right and priveleges afforded to moderators, I have also bestowed upon these six individuals a special rank of my own choosing.  And now, without further ado, the moderators for The Official Unofficial Achewood Message Board shall be:

For his wide and varied interests, depth of musical experience, and for being an all-around pleasant bloke, the forum of Sounds goes to Slink, our very own Agent of the British Invasion.  

For his impeccably good taste, his committment to popular culture, and the fact that he really, really wants to impress this girl at work, the forum of Sights goes to Pubdoggy, A Sight for Sore Eyes.  

For her astonishing level of food geekiness, her vast experience with distinctively Achewoodian recipes, and her penchant for getting drunk before 9 AM, the forum of Tastes goes to Wombat: The Naked Chef.  

Because nobody else wanted it, the forum of Smells goes to Choopernickel, The Nose who Knows.  

For his brilliant and faithful service heretofore, and because he is quite possibly a bigger geek than any of the other applicants, the forum of Touches goes to CortJstr, the Merry Fool.  

And finally, for his extraordinary patience, his amazingly variegated quilt of experience, and for showing us that it is, in fact, cool to stay in school, the hotly-contested forum of Thoughts goes to AugustWest, the Legal Eagle Scout.  

New ranks and permissions will be set accordingly.  Let's all congratulate the new mods...I know you'll give them all the respect and adulation they deserve.

Also, before anyone asks, I've decided to leave the Lileks and Other Comics forums vacant for the time being; we'll add mods there as needed.

The problem is that we were relying in slink to show us what the new ranks would be. Now we have to wait for those slacky people who aren't even up to Chucklebot yet.

I'd noticed the whole "all the big posters in line for new titles now have custom ones" problem. It's put the science of guessing new titles back twenty years! ... well, more like two or three days, I guess, depending on posting density. Ah well.

I'd like to thank the academy and all the little people.

You see, with their tinyness, they can sneak into places and get stuff on your enemies.  You gotta watch out for them little people.  But they'll give you a kidney if they like you.

It was the more polite of the smell-related nicknames that came into my head...if you have a preferred choice, let me know.

Augh!  I'm mortified.  I think I might have know that at one point...but I can't be sure.  

Mod your little hearts out.

Well, the mods should post and reply to posts in their forum, at least glance through all of the threads and posts (this shouldn't be difficult) and make sure people are playing nice.  Issue warnings, offer gentle guidance, lock threads that go too far out of field, etc.

I think the general guideline would be to not delete posts - just post a follow-up.  If you think a post MUST be deleted, PM me or JLD about it and we'll take a look.

Um... I don't know.  It's a pretty easy job and people will fear and/or respect you for it.
