I had a sensible chuckle from this post. Well done.

Also, Kir wouldn't be such a bad person to put in charge (to an extent) at least he can't the entire WCA database. As DeeDubb posted, he's on the line of what's right and wrong all the time so he knows which is which.

Though I'm pretty sure I'm 90% wrong.

A. Please don't use the term "retarded" as an insult. There's much better words.

B. Cubers especially should be better about knowing the difference between a 360 turn and a 180 turn

retarded

adjective:

less advanced in mental, physical, or social development than is usual for one's age.



What other word could possibly be used in replacement of what i wanted to say?

I'm pretty sure the "turn 360 and leave" thing was a joke. Isn't that a meme or something?

You could use a word like "immature" or "childish." I think his point was that the particular word you chose has been used to characterize disabled people who have asked that people stop using the word so flagrantly. There are many words that could have summarized your view without being derogatory.

Clearly immature or childish have entirely different meanings. "Dumber than a hammer handle" might be more appropriate in some instances although someone on this forum might interpret dumb as deaf so "Stupid as a post" may be preferable.

Shouldn't it be 'There are', not 'There is'? Also I think the 360 thing was a joke (as someone else said).

I'm not entirely sure about Kir as a mod. It is a good point that he knows what is and isn't allowed, but I guess you could say he's a little too experienced with that.

Screw that. Retarded is one of the few words we can get through the retarded filter.

I agree with this. I also vote that Kirjava gets an offer to be a mod.

I am rather surprised that anyone would suggest Kirjava for mod, but especially you Mr. Hardwick. That's a train wreck waiting to happen. That guy doesn't know the meaning of responsibility, he's just a ******monkey.

EDIT: DAMN the retarded filter, can't you give me anything????

 

[pewpewrawr]

i vote dene for next mod once kirjava has been promoted

can i be a mod too? cool thanks

ben and strak best mod team

ben and strak best mod team

With Ben and Kir already? No thanks.

But while we are asking, can I be one?

 

[TDM]

I'm not sure how many of these are serious, but I would imagine the current mods would choose who are going to become mods based on what they think. Asking to be a mod won't help, and nominations won't really do much either.

 

[qqwref]

We do need more and/or better mods. But I think mods should be responsible for what they do, too. If people are complaining about something they've done, they should apologize and try to fix the situation. A response along the lines of 'just deal with it' or 'I talked with some of my friends about it and I haven't changed my mind' just makes me worry about the future of the forum.

Cubers especially should be better about knowing the difference between a 360 turn and a 180 turn

He's got his math wrong. HAHA

------------ < joke


------------ < your head

 

[cubernya]

If new mods are added, I would like to see (in order) these people: Michael, Dene, Kirjava, Stefan. Kirjava only if he agrees never to mod while drunk (imagine that). I think they are all responsible, reasonable people, who wouldn't do something "just because".

no i think you would be a bad mod because youd probably just unmod/unadmin everyone apart from yourself and permaban everyone you dont like

if any new mods become existant then they should be stefan and qq

 

[TheNextFeliks]

I like the idea of Stefan and qq but I haven't seen Stefan in a long time.

 

[Renslay]

He seems active in the forum. http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/member.php?84-Stefan

 

[Tim Major]

I feel like qq would be the best mod listed so far. I doubt he'd delete things he disagreed with, I don't think he'd be over the top, and he has 7000 posts indicating he's still active here. Since no one else has, I nominate qq (assuming he would)

I think if Kir was mod he'd moderate similar to how I would, delete retarded posts that aren't against the forum rules. Also potential for uh... slip ups and power abuse... yeah no
