Well hell froze over apparently, time to remind yourself to do work.Zombie_Fish said:That's a really nifty idea. If Hell freezes over and I become a moderator, I may need to try that trick out to remind me to do College work.Ultrajoe said:I send myself warnings to remind myself to go grocery shopping. Handy, eh?

I've also recently had to edit this [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.204800-Poll-If-you-were-asked-to-be-a-mod-would-you-accept?page=2#6886923] post as well because of this whole promotion thingy. Seriously, stuff like this I never did expect at all.
I agree with DH. You guys are some of our best.Diagonal Horizontality said:Oh, come now Zombie. Even a cursory glance at your behavior over the past six months reveals you to be an ideal candidate for the Red Guard... From Kuliani's perspective, at least.
And don't take that the wrong way. Moderation invariably causes traction in any community and the inevitability of [a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tall_poppy_syndrome]tall poppy syndrome[/a] ensures that some individuals will resent any hierarchal changes not directly approved by a committee consisting of them and only them. To be candid, I would have been surprised if you or any of the other recently appointed mods weren't chosen.

*hey its how I like to spell it ok.
In heavy moderation (u c wut i did thar). I wouldn't though.daftnoize said:Are you allowed to swear on forums?
Just to give you a clear answer - Swearing at other users to insult/provoke is not ever ok! However I and the other moderators don't see a problem with swearing in say RP game threads as part of a character in a story or swearing to implement non-aggressive opinion in a post e.g. "This game is the shit" or "This game was shit because...". Also whilst there is technically no iron set problem with making forum threads with swear words in the title - so long as the topic and discussion is valid we would prefer you refrained from doing so explicitly e.g. instead of saying ... is shit, say $H1% - and just avoid using the more aggressive insults/words. The reason for this being that the Escapist is a family friendly site with forum users as young as 13 or younger and undoubtedly many viewers of the forums of younger age - thus we do not condone the promotion of curse words and inappropriate content.Lord Krunk said:In heavy moderation (u c wut i did thar).
