Just because someone is popular, doesn't mean they'll be a good mod

bahamut also seems like a good choice.

Definitely Bahamut, he's a nice levelheaded non-biased guy.

Are you owner of BBS??

Technicaly, yes. He in fact is.

As for my vote, I would pick Ragnorkia, but he doesn't get on newgrounds much anymore, so I would vote for WeHaveFreshCookies.

You know I said before Cootie and Bahamut right. Add Fro there in my vote he is a intelligent guy like Bahamut and helps out alot.

Usually I wouldn't reply to this sort of thread as I think that just because the userbase believes someone would be good at something doesn't mean they would, in the sense that higher ups would (rightfully might I add) be better judges of what is and isn't desirable in someone trusted to volunteer for the benefit of the site.

With that said, allow me to completely contradict the above point by saying a lot of the Wi/Ht users would be exceptionally good. In the recent(ish) past NEVR, 36Holla, Coop and Auz have all been modded deservingly and have done a good job, but lots of the other guys who frequent the LUL such as Fro, Haggard, reverend and of course Bahamut (to name but a few) would do a wonderful job, assuming of course they'd want to do it. They've got all the same traits as the other golden-aura'd Wi/Hters; mature, been part of the site for ages, all have a helpful attitude (as is to be expected in a regular in Wi/Ht; it's the nature of the forum itself), great contributors in one way or another, and most importantly of all they are down to earth, nice guys.

So yeah, for what it's worth, any of them would be awesome in my view.

I'd vote for gagsy but I believe she doesn't want to be a forum mod or something like that.

And why is everyone voting for WeHaveFreshCookies? He's awesome but I don't think he's mod material, I guess we'll see what Wade thinks, he could be good but who knows.

Also Heinrich is pretty awesome and so is Chronamut, they would make cool mods.

Also is forum mod = general forums mod? Or just any mod of the website/BBS?

What is a "gagsy"??? Urban Dic has no answer for that word. :?

You do realise half of the people who respond to this aren't going to read this far down the thread, right?

Meh. More ban points for you. :P

OK, back on topic.
...Umm... I really don't know. If I had to nominate one person, it'd have to be reverend, since he and Auz were more or less indistinguishable on the forums as far as post quality went, and still largely are (if you cover up the golden aura... :P).

Then again, I really don't know if he'd actually want to be a forum mod in the first place. That's kind of the paradox with forum mod standards: You need to be able to regularly deal with the General forum, since it's the biggest headache for the mod team, but because it's such a shit-fest most of the time, hardly any of the users who have post qualities showing forum mod characteristics want to come here on a regular basis anyway. All the ones I can think of (that aren't already modded) are mostly active in the Wi/Ht and C&C forums, hardly ever coming in here.

It's also impossible to tell if their own site enjoyment would be ruined by the resultant unending stream of butthurt and anti-authority raging most mods get on a daily basis, regardless of how well they try to explain themselves and the rules here. I know at least 3 or 4 that have changed their attitudes to the forums completely as a direct result of being modded (mostly for the worse, too). I suppose there's only one way to find out about that, though.

Damn... I never actually sat down and thought about how hard picking a new mod would be before. Guess it's not as easy as everyone thinks...

A Forum Mod, you can't get just a General Mod.

I think Bahamut deserves it more.

Gagsy is a Forum regular, who usually posts sensibliy

Capncrunchdapimp.

I'd vote for Cootie...but he seems kinda like the guy who get pissed off at all the stupid people on the BBS then go on biased banning sprees or ban for a stupid reason accidentally.

Bahamut. or Gagsy. The mod team needs more females.

I see modship as more of a punishment than a reward.

Gagsy is a very sensible person. So is WeHaveFreshCookies. I'm going with the majority and voting for Cookie.

Actually he deleted the self-vote posts that were before it. Including mine.

I'll make it brief, because Lord knows my opinion isn't important anyway.

Writing forum.

Even though Stickam regulars argue otherwise.

And by extension, everyone that matters.

Actually, get a Stickam regular in, I'm sure that'll double the fun certainly, doesn't matter who.

Writing, Animation and Collaboration need more mods.

Just a pro-tip: if reverend ever got modded, he'd start handing out 30 day bans for capitalising his name from day one, it's the bane of his existence :P

Just kidding rev :P

But I think it would be in bad taste to vote for myself. So I'm going to say Reverend, Bahamut, Auz, (owait...) or some other Wi/Ht Reg. I've been going there a little more nowadays as part of my sudden baffling desire to be a more involved with the site, but those guys seem to have dedicated their lives to helping the site out. Much respect.

How does it feel to be ego stroked on the internet?Lucky....
you know, i would vote for alpha-centauri.

Aw I forgot about Rev. HE would be a really great choice to become a mod. It must be a little stressful for Wade since there are so many users that deserve a modship but not enough to go around.

I wouldn't be too sure. I think either Zendra or Zerok haven't been active since January. There's also a few other inactive mods on the list...

I was going to vote for Yamor, but then he went and changed his name...

I agree, it's more like a 'suggestion' thread IMO too. I think Wade's about to go pruning the inactive forum mods again (TheShrike, for instance, hasn't been here since December '09), and would like new ones in their places. I suppose stuff like this could help him decide who to look at more closely, even if it's not an outright voting contest.

If everybody in this thread said, w33d44lyfe or SockMyDink (God that was a long time ago...) I doubt that they would be modded. But that's just an example.

Lol, I remember SockMyDink (and a few of his more hilarious alts too XD).

Bahamut kinda deserves it.

Yeah, Bahamut was a close second when I was thinking about it. I had a little list in my head, but picking a 'winner' wasn't easy. IMO, reverend is slightly better... but only just. It's not like Bahamut would be a bad choice (at least, so far as I can tell) by any measure.

/slurp-fest.

Let's get the Ejit ball rolling! He's clever and stuff.
