    Default What are the mods like here?

    This is mswas. As many of you know, I can be controversial. I don't want to start drama, but sometimes in heated discussion, I get a little bombastic. Just wanna know if I'll fit in here up front or if I should keep moving.

    Hey, mswas/Tinker.

    In a word, I'd say the mods here are unobtrusive. But then, I tend to be oblivious, so my observations probably don't count for much.

    Anyways, welcome!

    I'm indifferent and cruel.

    And a known pornographer.

    Hey Tinker/mswas! We're pretty laid back around these parts and there aren't many times discussions get very dramatic, to be honest. I'm not terribly familiar with you from the SDMB, though, so I'm not sure how much you'd enjoy our particular brand of posting here. You were largely into Great Debates, weren't you?

    LOL. Well I tend to be a gadfly. So inevitably I piss people on all sides off. But I won't try to go out of my way to do it as it tends to be my natural state.

    After much trial and error I think we have a very good mod team here. They certainly don't display the contempt for the membership that some of the mods at the SDMB have.

    Domebo tried to be a democracy, it doesn't work. Zuul is the board owner now, and she's calm and sensible and yet is not at all afraid of using her dictatorial powers for evil. It works pretty well for us.

    Don't listen to Sticks. He thinks he's God.

    I didn't mean it. Everyone is welcome in Ryan Seacrest's bathroom. Except, ironically, Ryan Seacrest. It's funny to make him use the kitchen sink.

    I think you'll find it fine here if a little slow. They put up with a lot from the likes of me and some others so I doubt you'll run into any big issues from the mods.

    As you can see from this thread, whatever else may be said about the mods here, it's definitely true that they're responsible for a large portion of the board traffic.

    I hope you stick around for a bit!

    Awesome, we need more Debate people. If you zombify some of my threads with some interesting remarks I would greatly appreciate it, hint hint.

    We have mods? I thought we had a vote and got rid of them all?
    Welcome to Mellophant.

    We started with nothing and we still have most of it left.

    Welcome Tinker! For anyone unfamiliar with mswas at the SDMB, let me say he (she?) has a tendency to goad and be cantankerous. That could be just what we need to get some energy in some of our threads. Seems like these days, we have a fair number of threads that reduce to this:

    OP: Here is a disturbing fact/idea/proposition, and my opinion about it is x!
    Next poster: I so agree with you.
    Next poster: So do I.
    Next poster: yeah, although we really should consider y. Not that I disagree or anything.
    Next poster: perhaps. Yep, I'm on board with that.
    Next poster: (takes one look at thread, wanders off because there's not much happening).

    Will the mswas persona work well here and give us a needed bit of excitement in our threads? I don't know, but it'll be interesting to see. Post away, Tinker!

    Welcome to Mellophant, Tinker.

    You won't recognize me from the Dope as I'm just a lurker over there (different username also), but I for one am glad to see that you made your way over here. I enjoyed a lot of your Dope posts.

    I'd say our mods are overall pretty awesome people, and your odds of being banned for bullshit reasons are fairly low.

    PM me something you think I would be interested in.

    This is kind of funny. I've gotten a warm welcome both here and at Giraffe boards. If I'd known everyone was this nice I would've gotten banned YEARS ago!

    Well, we're lovable people over here. And at GB, they'll just make rude tags about you. So yeah, niceness reigns in the posts themselves.

    Hey! I just read a thread about you being banned, which is how I found this forum. Which sort of makes it all your fault if anything bad happens.

    My intro posts for some reason doubled up. Twice. And I was just getting ready to shuffle off in shame and then I saw this thread, and there in the very first post is you.

    I think. I mean, it says it's you. But I don't even know who you are. But since it says you got banned over there, well, that is interesting.

    But if this double posts on me again, I might still leave. Forever.

    Thank you for eating them for me then. I'd hate for them to have gone to waste.

    They have turds for modes over there.

    Here, the modes suck balls, but at least they're honest.

    CIAS is the superadmin and you have to do something pretty nasty for him to get his jackboots on. He's the chillest person with internet power I know of.
