Shrike's not the only one!
Thanks to Andrea for the nomination, and to Wade for the acceptance!
I'll be understanding to the users, because I was once harboured strong anti-mod sentiments, but I've come to see the error of my ways, and I'm proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with Andrea, as opposed to grovelling at her feet.

I suppose I'd better wade into the sewage pit that is the general forums.

Thanks, Nirv!
Also, Ted and el_foka are now mods. I'd like to congratulate them as well as Newgrundling, who is now a mod due to popular demand.

Just a minuite chaps. Fair play for getting to be the new mods, but why aren't your names on the bottom of the little bit that shows Freak and the other mods?

Looks like Jim's been a bit naughty...

Don't think that Shrike and I are any more important than we were before, we're just omnipotent, that's all! ;)

I didn't wanna say this but I just don't wanna stay quiet about it....

Funny how the DAG thread gets closed, most of the members get banned then 4 members of the PC get to be mods on NG. Now that there are so many "great" mods to look over all of us I wanna know why this thread is still open? Don't give me the usual lame excuses, this forum is for politics not just the Politics Crew.

Because this thread was actually begun before the PC.
This thread was meant, as it's name implies, it's a lounge for the regulars. Anyone can post just about anything, and it's not restricted by group.
We're not allowing any furthur ones, and this thread was hard fought for, as it was around the time of the anti-mod sentiment increase.

Nirv... please... I want you to speak your mind always.

These are not related. Why?
1)The DAG members in question knew they were going to be banned for posting in that thread when freak asked them to stop.
2)The DAG thread was shut down because it had degenerated into flames and little else.
3)We didn't ask to be mods. We were suggested and chosen by the NG admins. At least that's how I understand it. And if you're going to imply that the DAG is in trouble now that we're mods, all I can say to that is:

PC members, DAG members, and everyone else:
Follow the rules, or be banned.

I'm not going to play favorites, but I will be blindly impartial. I like being a mod, but I am not going to let something as silly as an online club blur my judgement.

Now that there are so many "great" mods to look over all of us I wanna know why this thread is still open? Don't give me the usual lame excuses, this forum is for politics not just the Politics Crew.

And this thread is for all non-forum related posts. It is not for PC, it is not for DAG, it is for everyone.

I like the idea of this thread, and I'd hate to see people think that just because the PC started it (before there was a PC, mind you), that no one else can join in.

Again, this thread is for everyone.

This thread is here as a type of "general" topic, because most "regulars" of the Politics forum don't like to post in the General forums.

I think it's been about 2 weeks since moderator recommendations were made and users looked over for consideration.

Well, are you happy or not? :)

I don't know, it just happened all at the same time. I registered for some other boards in the past week , to try and find something less boring than the general forum. Geez. I hope we pick up some new people for general soon, because damn. Repeats itself. Not fun.

I came here a few times in the last weeks. It's hard for me to find much to talk about here, because I'm canadian, and really don't care much for researching political facts and all that, and since most of the times topics here are about Bush and the U.S. policies and all that.
I'll be watching :)

Newgrundling isn't in the PC. i miss you nirv... and as anyone can tell you... I'm more apt to snap than most other people, so more than likely the pc had nothing to do with my new status.

Yeah. There are a few reasons I get bitchy in the general forums.

Oh, and congratulations to our new mods. :)

JudgeMeHarshX, I have a question for you since you are the one who started this topic. Do you care if I "join" or post here. If you say no, Im not going to go whine about it. The reason im asking is because Im not the type of person to come here and say ill thought, and immature things. Ive came to the site for a bit, but I just opened an account recently. Again, if I dont have anything worth saying, Im not going to say it. If I have something to say, I will. Im not going to flood the topic with immature comments, or start arguments over stupid trivial things. So, yes or no? Like I said, Im not going to post just for the sake of it. Its just that I think I would be able to fit in because Im not going to be immature about things (and no, im not trying to hint about someone by posting this either).

As for the question about the moderator list, I posted about this in Wade's topic in general - the list updates nightly through BBS maintenance. As you can see, the list is now updated.

Okay Shrike I am sure you know I am aware of all of this. No one ever said the PC was not welcome under the DAG messages. Most of the PC members took it as a place to talk bad about the DAG members because of the topic title. The point is DAG Messages is now closed but the new issue is why do people like el foka get to be mods. I am sure alot of people agree with me when I say I have no doubt that you'll be a fair mod but I am doubtful in the performance some others will show in the future.

Hey I liked being in the PC and I am sorry if it isn't coming off like that right now but I just can't be down with a crew where I find myself objecting to some of its actions. No one in the PC ever made me feel left or hated for my views and that is why I stayed. The PC is great but the DAG is growing and it will be respected wether you guys can accept that or not.

Man i Really did'nt think it was this serious i say fuck the whole PC v.s DAG thing and we come together as a united group of people with intellegent things to say and discuss. That way theres no segegations on the Politics forum.

I feel like I'm back in the 50's & 60's with the white against black deal for real.Come off this things guys your all smarter than this because it really does'nt matter what group of people you belong to were all the same.
