I doubt it would lead us to the golden age of wealth and prosperity. We would just bash the skulls of everyone else. The result would be same, only with a lot more brain matter splattered across threads.Random argument man said:

I'd try not to be too trigger-happy when it comes to locking threads, I don't care particularly for or against any type of thread, okay, I don't really like advice or zombie apocalypse threads, but I'd be a dick if I closed threads solely on the basis that I didn't like them.
I'd like to give everyone a chance, and help protect my Internet homeland from troll attacks of course.
I'd be the kind that would get fired within a week due 'dropping the banhammer' and dispensing some ?indiscriminate justice.?
All smiles and sunshine. Smiles. Sunshine.
Don't post another Goddamn post. Up until now, I've been polite. If you post anything else - word one - I will upload my soul into the net. And when my tainted spirit finds its destination, I will topple the master of that dark place. From my black throne, I will lash together a machine of iframes and lolcode, and fueled by my hatred for you this fearscript will bore a hole between this world and that one.
When it begins, you will hear the buffered sound of children screaming - as though streamed from a great distance. An animated gif of nothing will grow above your bed, and from it will emerge a thousand drooling trolls. As I slip through the widening maw in my rendered form, you will catch only a glimpse of my css before you 404. Then, as poorly compressed video pixellates down my face, my dark work will begin.
I will online one of my six servers, and I will install the plugin that ends the Earth.[footnote]I hope you like text[/footnote]

I would be a terrible mod, I'd ban anyone with any kind of grammar error, and anyone with a post count under 10. I'm awful and hateful, and would be a terribly unfair mod.

OT: I'd most likely be an arse. No really. I do moderate in certain types of forums, and I'm an arse. I still don't understand the love I receive for it.
Absolutely no more personal shots, no more attacking anyones country, religion, or political affiliations, no more generalizations or sterotyping. Also, no more just coming into a thread and adding nothing to it, making some flame-sniper comment or whatever. This is a discussion forum, if you do not want to have a discussion, you are in the wrong place. Lastly, no more threads like "What is your eye color?". Seriously, it doesn't matter what it is, there is no discussion to be had in a topic like that, and it just boils down to a list thread.
One thing I would think about doing would be to leave a notice if I were sinking a thread, just so everyone is aware, especially the person who started the thread who may wonder why he's getting all these posts but his thread is off the first page.
Besides all that stuff that I think is pretty reasonable, I'd just be a regular moderator, nothing out of the ordinary. I like the mods here, and they do a good job as well, just thought I'd add that in.

He was basically a very famous user here who, after he was banned, sparked two threads asking the mods to unban him. That's a small idea of how famous he actually was. The fact that he had over 10000 posts and was one of the few users to have Neo helped with his fame here, and a lot of people who liked him were new users who had no idea of his history, so when they found out that he was banned, despite [user]Ultrajoe[/user]'s explanation, people still thought other users had done worse and had gotten off lighter.Mr.Pandah said:
OT: I would probably be a normal mod. Give out wrath, lock threads, answer mod-related questions, the usual. I didn't realise there were other ways to be a mod, especially due to the fact that you need to fit a certain profile, loyalty and image in order to become one. You also needed to be famous enough for the other members of staff to recognise you, which includes doing all the above listed.
EDIT:
I would also probably turn out like this; I am quite strict on what I report and I do that a lot nowadays. Mod me would probably be that to a greater extreme.chronobreak said:
Interesting. I mean, I was here longer than him, so I've seen him around. I do recall actually, now that I think about it, when he first started posting. I don't really pay much attention to too many users though unless they really pick me out of the crowd/make insightful posts. Besides...reading some of his posts, he just seemed to post alot. I mean, 11000+ posts in under a year? Jeez. =PZombie_Fish said:
Sorry about this, continue on with the topic.
