Congrats to Sarai and all the rest. I thought they were great choices and covered a wide range of personalities.

look at her sign up date though, its this year, thats not very good for a mod to only have been on NG for 4 months! i strongly disagree with Wade/Tom's decision on modding Sarai.
its nothing personal, but she simply hasn't been on NG long enough.

But that's sexism, which is apparently why SCD got de-modded.

but i'm happy about the rest of the new mods :)

I totally agree; but she wouldn't be the first unqualified Mod to get by on her T&A factor.

Not the nicest comment to say. If I had time I'd really get back to my psychology thread which with 32 pages and 50000 words typed was quite well recieved. Because I now have a full-time job it's hard to do that, so I'm sorry that the quality of my posts has not been as high as of late.

I am very greatful to be given this position and I hope to use it well in the future. The only thing I can say to people who say that I don't have much in the way of 'posts' is that threads about; sex, mastubation, porn etc really aren't my thing, so my post count is a little lower than yours? ;-)

Anyway, moving on, I am sorry I disapoint, I will try to be good at this, it is a learning experience. Please though, refrain from comments like that. They're not very nice.

Thank you

Congrats to all the new mods, but I think BRS should have been nominated.

There are other women with many more posts and a greater interest for Newgrounds than she. She just struck the fancy of a few lonely people, most likely.

Well SCD wasn't happy initially being modded, but it seems a shame to have gotten rid of him, especially because he's one of the better mods, better posters, and all round one of the better people really.

They all deserve it.

I'm actually shocked that Canas was modded, because he's a good friend of mine.

Oh well, congrats.

I think BadReligionSkater should be next. :D

hence the fact i've started something in my sig that might have a miniscule effect on SCD getting remodded, heck i gotta help one of my fav mods :(

In my first post, I've already mentioned why having more posts doesn't count. It's quality, not quantity, that count.

So who do you think would have been better, huh? I'm not saying that there aren't other good female posters, but I don't think any are as mature and responsible as Sarai.

She just struck the fancy of a few lonely people, most likely.

Ok, seriously, what is your problem? She definately didn't get modded only because of her looks. There are plenty of good looking females on NG. You're just very bitter.

Seriously, what the fuck has happened to Newgrounds, and especially the BBS? When did this shit embued wave of political-correctness wash over this site? Things stopped being fun when it all became about money instead of enjoyment.

What happened to warnings? Didn't Wade ban Dobio when he amde that "Post here and I'll ban you thread" as a warning not to abuse his powers? Surely a warning for SCD would have been sufficent at first? If he had continued then demodding him would have been justified in my opinion.

Since this has been brought up by someone other than me, I completely agree. Please, please, please, moderators of NG, allow for offensive content. Please. This place is supposed to be for entertainment puposes - don't fucking forget it. Especially if it's in good humour. Fucking Hell. I'm with SCD all the way, even if the admins demodded him. He was a good mod, and Republicans offend homosexuals anyway.

Bitter? Hell I might be if the BBS hadn't degraded to its current form, marred by incessant waves of stupidity brought on by the idiotic majority. Being a mod now is just babysitting the 10 year olds with internet access.

Oh, and seriously; does the aroma of a mod's ass appeal to you THAT much? You might want to take your nose out of there and get a breath of fresh air. You sound delirious.

Maybe he had got a warning in the past. Who knows?

Dobio's abuse of powers isn't the same as that sexist thread. I think SCD stepped over the line (WAY over the line). I was pretty shocked when I saw that thread. Even if it was a joke, it wasn't funny and served no purpose. Mods can have fun, but they have to know their limits. SCD should have known better.

SCD was de-modded, but not Ozcar, correct?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

SCD Demodded ? Fuck that.

So let me get this straight, guys. You let Ozcar, make spam thread after spam thread. You let him abuse his powers like mad and ban people for completely unjustified and asinine reasons. You allow him to fuck around to no end, and all you do is praise him for it.

Yet, SCD, a fucking good mod, makes one JOKE thread and you throw him to the fucking hounds.

Nah, that's bullshit.

Seconded.

I'm shocked Ozcar is STILL a mod.

Your definition of 'the line' is vastly different to what a lot of people define as it. Appreciate that there's a sizable amount of people here who find stuff like that funny, and for whom it's the reason they come to NG. It's all audience and purpose.

Ok, you can de-mod Ozcar now.

You fail to see what I'm trying to say. What's the point in whining? It's not going to change anything. You might as well congratulate them, and see WHY they were modded, instead why they shouldn't be.

I asked you who you thought would be a better candidate, but you failed to answer that and decided just to call me a suck up. Bravo! I think that just shows your bitterness even more.

With so many users, many are bound to be overlooked. Their time will come.

I agree, completely, same goes for Ron, he's been nothing but a spamming mod nazi, and he's still here, why? Because obviously he sucks a lot of admin cock or something

He wasn't being sexist, you cock-wrap. Unless you're a witless pit of cum, you can quite clearly see that the thread was satirical, intended to be that way. He didn't mean any of it. He isn't a sexist, and it's rather obvious, even to the untrained eye.

SCD isn't sexist, you fucking idiot. It was a JOKE, that retards like you take seriously and take it as a personal attack.

SCD, de-modded over that shit? You have to be kidding me.

You're just one of many in the ranks of " Newgrounds Tools". Congratulations, your medal is in the mail.

I agree wholeheartedly. There's nothing I like more than reading a gratuitously offensive story by Earfetish or writing one myself about how I raped some cat in the street. And there's little I hate more than seeing the topics deleted or locked and the user who made them banned.

Surely the BBS is about entertainment?

At 11/6/05 09:45 AM, DancingTurkeyGod wrote: Maybe he had got a warning in the past. Who knows?

Possible but if it was something serious he was warned about the whole of the Forum would have known about it, and people would now be saying " We knew he was a bad mod. Just look at how he acted in X thread" people aren't so I can only assume that he hasn't recieved a warning in the past.

Dobio's abuse of powers isn't the same as that sexist thread. I think SCD stepped over the line (WAY over the line)

Even if he did step over the line why didn't they give him a second chance? I seriously doubt that the thread was in anyway serious, and if it was then I can understand him being demodded but I highly doubt that it was serious.

I was pretty shocked when I saw that thread. Even if it was a joke, it wasn't funny and served no purpose. Mods can have fun, but they have to know their limits. SCD should have known better.

The fact is that other mods who broke the rules recieved a warning and were allowed to continue being mods. Dobio should have known better than to absue his powers in that thread he made and he was given a second chance, so why wasn't SCD given one?

SCD was a good Mod, why punish him for one mistake?

As a women, I was offended. I'm even more offended/worried now that you tell me you think it's funny and completely acceptable. You can't post pictures, photoshopped or not, of women being beaten up then writing: I wish I would have listened. I think that's what pushed it "over the line".

You guys can insult me all you want, but I still think the right decision was made. Maybe he's only demodded for a defined period as a "pusnihment", then will be re-modded. I have nothing against SCD, but I do think he was in the wrong for that thread.

Just because you guys joke around like that a lot doesn't mean it's right.

If you honestly, get offended over the internet, throw your fucking computer out of the window. You're on the INTERNET, and you have to expect these things. Hell, SCD wasn't even serious, it was a fucking joke that idiots like you take seriously.

He made ONE. FUCKING. JOKE, and he got de-modded for it. ONE. He didn't give out 30 day bans to random people, he made a fucking joke. Remember when Dobio made a thread "Post here and get banned", and he banned everyone that posted? Well, he was serious about that, and he's still a mod. SCD was fucking JOKING.

Overall, it isn't fair, and you really need to fuck off.

Yeah I was offered to become a mod but I declined as I felt I needed to concenstrate on my studies.
