Anyone who just quotes people and say "I agree" are all insta-banned. Don't be lazy! Come up with something else to say, or nothing at all.

I'd create a thread to commemorate the Battlefield games and make it required viewing upon login. By Battlefield games I mean BF1942-BF2142, EA/DICE proved with BF3's last patch the battlefield we knew and loved is long dead, and we will never see its like again. Night falls on the arcade shooter genre.

And the night is dark, and full of terrors.

Ponies! Every day! Don't like Ponies? BAN! Said stupid comment about ponies? BAN! Write a speech that takes 15 minutes about how much you despise ponies? BAN! Soon, all will fall... and the Pony-scapist shall rise from the ashes!

Anyone who did the dumbass "first" on a post would be instantly banned for being a idiot.

The world would be a better place if stupidity was painful, so I'd do my part to help evolution's mistake.

Personally wouldn't need a ban, if that happened I'd leave of my own volition. ^^

wait... escapist mods are people?

What? That can't be right. I've never seen them think, only count letters and give horribly delayed automatic warnings and pre-scripted replies.

I certainly have never seen one post. Are they supposed to, like, stick out? Be visible? I can't tell, because I don't think I've ever seen one. I damn well can't name one.

This is the first forum on the internet where that's happened to me, btw. I like mods. I like noticing mods. I like forum modding. I've done it for 7 years. I know how to do it right. It's by being a person first, then a user, then a mod.

Uh, yeah. That's what I'd do as a mod. Post something. About sunshine, probably.
Some of us are people...

OT: I would ... do what I've done so far. Which is nothing so much that you can't even begin to fathom how many ruins this site would be in if I wasn't given the banhammer.

Which is to say that I've done enough to keep the job, I guess. ;P

Utterly abuse my power by completely neglecting it. Yeah too much work and effort those guys do for me to want to be a part of it.

Not like there are any great users left.
I resent your insinuation that casts doubt on me being the greatest user to ever exist. I shall have to reeducate you with a 29 paragraph article complete with youtube links, pictures and graphcs illustrating my fantastic ability to be misquoted and generate aggro and annoy the ever living hell from damn near anybody. You my friend shall rue the day you dare doubted my greatness.... just as soon as I find the energy to care enough to do all that work.

I would unban all of those interesting people that made the site actually entertaining instead of the dry, cyclical, in joking passive aggressive turd it's become.

I'd ignore all the little rules, but ban anyone that I felt was not a contributing member of this community. Go ahead and flame people if you think they are being idiots, but if that is ALL you do, and you don't let others call you out on your own bullshit, out you go.

Okay, maybe that's a bit too drastic.

Umm, I dunno really. Haven't given it much thought.
Actually, rather than ban users, I would ban the regular moderators, and make everybody moderators! Vote for me, Moderator 2013!

It is tons of fun, until the Admin's regain control over the server, ban everybody, and procede to beta test the latest build of forum software with an even more select group of individuals who had alibis. Good times, good times,...

Call me crazy but I can't help but think you've got someone in mind when you say that...

Start perma-banning everyone who whines like a little ***** one the grounds that's they're violating the "Don't be a jerk" policy. If you can't phrase your comments and concerns in a more constructive manner, you're outta here.

Couldn't have been a better first post.

OT: Probably just do about the same stuff as I do now except ban people who break the rules. I wouldn't enforce low content posts though. I think sometimes low content is fine.

Having been a super mod elsewhere for 6 years, it'd be a huge pain in the ass. Mods are essentially the adults in a kindergarten, and the ones that has to clean up all the shit the kids keep smearing on the wall.

You do not want to be a mod. Trust me on this.

Well it's certainly not you.

In all seriousness, there is a few users that I don't think belong on here. Their contributions are either neutral or negative, so I'd keep a close eye on them. I've been a moderator before, and it was my personal rule to NEVER ban in anger. I never did either, even when users directly attacked me. I know that if they are willing to attack me, they will dig themselves into a hole somewhere else, so there was no need to be the bad-guy crushing the small guy. Those users that I'd be watching on here would get as much of a fair chance as I'd give anyone else, but I won't hesitate to get rid of them if a few PMs doesn't change their negative attitude.
