Father Torque Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 Originally posted by C'jais No. Thanks for the support I agree, yes I would like to be a mod, but that is not my descison, my time will come, sometime, but probably not for a while because alot of mods and admins dont like me. And Mydnight, I only exploded on that guy, because he started talking trash about my religion. And me being a big religious person like many others I defended my beliefs:) . Which i inturn thought was right, and thenhe started saying I was in the KKK, which blew the last string. And if anyone should be a mod it should be Zbomber;) . And why does everyone say Im not here alot, I am here more than you think I just sometimes choose to switch my settings of being seen to invisible. Dont ask why:p . But in conclusion, I would like to say something to C'Jais. Why did you get to be a mod more than anyone, Im not being mean or flaming you, I am just asking what characteristics do you have better than anyone else here? Please let me know so I can understand a little better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breton Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 Originally posted by Father Torque Thanks for the support And Mydnight, I only exploded on that guy, because he started talking trash about my religion. And me being a big religious person like many others I defended my beliefs:) . The quote you were exploding on: Originally posted by Darth Tyranus Neo if God caused Sep 11th as a revival of Christian faith (I highly doubt it did though) that would be a a contradiction to his omnibenevolence, not the sort of qualities of a loving God. He here said that if God did caused 9/11 as a "revival of Christian faith", then that would not show him as any loving God. I agree with his statement, but that is unimportant. The important thing is that you exploded against a person because he would question God's loving capabilities if it was he who caused 9/11. This is far from talking trash about anyone's religion. And it does not give you the reason to flame in any case. Which i inturn thought was right, and thenhe started saying I was in the KKK, which blew the last string. Well, he didn't actually say it, he asked if you were. Still was pretty rude though. Does anyone know how long DT is going to be banned, BTW?

BawBag™ Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 Who cares? He was the one that started that rant about 'great' britain. It was pretty poor..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Torque Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 I think forever, Im not sure though. And aout the George W Bush thing can we please just forget about it. Even though i didnt particularily like DT, I didnt really like the banning part. I just wish he would stop trying to say my religion is bad, which he did say. I remember. Also he was being a jerk right off the bat by swearing in the first paragraph I believe. I dont quite understand why he laid the first blow, in the first post. He didnt even wait for people to explain or talk about what they thought. He led others to become mad by egging them on. Even when I did tell him to stop arguing about religion and on GWB. And on this mod thing. I cant believe 12 people said NO. . I dont really see any reasons why I shouldnt be, maybe if the peoples could voice there opinion instead of just saying no, that would help me understand why im such a bad guy.

Agen Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 Why did you get to be a mod more than anyone, Im not being mean or flaming you, I am just asking what characteristics do you have better than anyone else here He's good at arguing ... which probably means he has a few valid points and thoughts on some things Torque........ I think you've got so many nos for one reason.... you're not the type of person who seems to tell people off (which seems to get you a million mod points even though it can be faked) or the type of person who acts as if you know right from wrong. Sure alot of these things shouldn't really count but that's what people like. Also i'm qite sure some people said no because it'd be quite weak if someone became a mod alot quicker than them for no big difference. Hopefully that makes a bit of sense or answers you question a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C'jais Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 Originally posted by Father Torque Why did you get to be a mod more than anyone, Im not being mean or flaming you, I am just asking what characteristics do you have better than anyone else here? Please let me know so I can understand a little better Honestly can't answer that question thoroughly, and whatever I say will be interpreted (perhaps rightfully) as bragging. You have to be impartial. You have to be reasonable. You have to be responsible (yeah, yeah - heard that one loads of times, I imagine). You have to have some kind of idea why you're doing what you're doing, why you're interpreting the rules the way you are. If you're just following the rules because they're written some place, then your "heart" is not in it. Fairness is the virtue here, but even when you're not being fair, you will need to think your actions through, and see if they'll lead to a better forum. And now, to be fair, I think many people in here could be good mods. The reason I was elected moderator was probably because I was "lucky" enough to be caught voicing my opinion on the moderation in here, as well as going completely apesh*t on the evolutionary theory, while jokingly suggesting a "whine cellar" forum might be a good idea. I was the most vocal person, while providing some ideas which the mods liked - I guess you could say I was the right place at that right time, or something like that. Do I think I have all the above qualities? Perhaps not all to an equal degree, but I would say that I'm among the fairly large crowd who would be able to mod this place. But don't worry, as with many things, it's something that gets improved with age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C'jais Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 Originally posted by Father Torque And on this mod thing. I cant believe 12 people said NO. . I dont really see any reasons why I shouldnt be Look at it this way: If some else made such a poll, would you vote yes or no if you felt they couldn't do as good a job as the current mods? If it was one of your friends, sure you'd vote yes, but if it was a stranger (albeit, a well-liked stranger) wouldn't you vote no if he was "just this guy from the forums"? There's such a thing as bias, y'know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Alastor Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 i think Father Torque is a great guy. Hes very nice to a lot of people, but I don't think the admins will make him a mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldritch Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 Originally posted by Darth Groovy BTW, why does everybody make such a big deal out of being a mod? I have seen people get into fits over this stuff... I don't get it.....?!? Because people get off on power, no matter how little they have. What's important is that they have it.

leXX Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 I have a feeling BongoBob, that although this thread was posted with good intention, it will do more harm than good in the long run. These kinds of threads are never a good idea. It isn't going to make the slightest bit of difference to the Admins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These kinds of threads are never a good idea. It isn't going to make the slightest bit of difference to the Admins. leXX is right and i should know, i've had endless threads made about me and i've made the threads. It just doesn't work, you got to consider other peoples views. Like lynk former has only just been made a mod after years of waiting, i support Father Torque he is a great guy. But maybe if he waits it will pay off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BongoBob Posted June 17, 2003 Author Share Posted June 17, 2003 Sorry if I made a bad view about FT or myself, I was just wondering. I'm still pretty new here, and I had never seen one like this.

Darklighter Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 Well, if anywhere, I'd more it to Feedback, as that's where the Z mod thread is, Bongo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfnshannon Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 Threads like these - put people on the spot. I certainly would not start a thread of "Do you like me - why or why not". It is just asking for someone to get their feelings hurt no offence. I chose not to vote. It's not up to me to decide if Father Torque would make a good mod or not and it shouldn't be the rest of the swamps either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
