There is a new Sheriff in Town.....Xpanda is her name..

[wilheim]

I want to welcone Xpanda as the new (and badly needed) Politics, Governments, and World Events Forum Moderator. I know she will moderate with a fair and even style that can only make this forum more enjoyable to all of you.




Wil...

this THREAD IS GOING TO BE good :drink:

First female mod at rx? Xpanda's first order of duty is ban the use of history and change it to herstory. Every other masculine word must also be feminized.

 

[docmercer--banned]

Dante ... I like your "humor"

 

[CAPNCRUNCH]

Welcome X! I hope this position won't stop you from ripping on old Joe Blowhard! Congratulations!:thumbsup2: :thumbsup2: :thumbsup2:

 

[Masxmenos]

Congrats X!!!

I like your view on politics and agree with Wil's decision.

I have some ideas for how to handle Doc et al.

First, I'm not a fan of censoring speech, so you'll have to be pretty nasty to make me delete anything.

And I think we all mostly agree that it's not fair to create thread and post limits for everyone because we have a single problem spammer.

So, absent banning posters for spamming, here's what I'm thinking:

Posters routinely spamming end up in the Dog House. To get there, a majority of posters in this forum (50% +1) must put you there. Once there, you are limited to 5 threads a day, 20 posts a day. The forum will vote to let you out of the dog house, once a week for as long as you're in there.

Thoughts?

 

[JoeContrarian]

Uh oh. Next to Karl Rove or Tom Delay, they couldn't have made a worse selection, if you're Doc.

while I don't agree with her on many political issues, she is no doubt a very fair-minded individual, who is respectful of other' views and opinions...Great Job Wil!

I've always been a fan of MERGING like threads.

So you didn't see the poll at all then????

 

[bblight]

Where's the Midol when you need it - and I think doc will be needing it!

Congrats X - I know you'll do a good job even if you don't have your ideological head screwed on straight - and thanks for taking on this thankless task

You be da (wo) man! :homer:

Sounds pretty fair.

I had only read the comments, not looked at the polling results (I didn't vote.)

The votes indicate that people would like to see thread limit for everyone, equally applied. I can say with some degree of confidence that limiting threads and posts to everyone in here would be:

a. a bad business move for the Rx.
b. really, really hard to moderate. The VBulletin software does not allow for placing thread limits in a specific forum.

I would like to find a way to limit this to certain posters, but not on a permanent basis. This seems fairest to me.

I'll start a new thread reiterating my proposal and everyone can vote on it.

pretty appropriate since this "political" forum is as dysfunctional as the New York Knicks

 

[Jointpleasure]

If the forum must have a mod, x is the right choice.

Stand up tall and jerk a big stick, as you are now commander and chief, you must defend this forum from spam.

 

[TheRightSide]

LMAO hahahahah

She has to take me off ignore.:missingte :missingte

 

[TheRightWing]

I think Tony Snow was very disappointed not to have gotten this job (Polit Mod) so has settled for Pres Sec. which isn't too shabby either....


good choice Wil,
