fourth time lucky
I didn't think, I just posted
Well if it worked for Andreas Johnson in melodifestivalen...Originally Posted by Suomi
DON'T ALL CROWD AROUND AT ONCE
I think I might put myself forward this time.
'Sue, did the President call?' ... 'No' Last.fm
Naturally, there will be more mystery and ambiguity surrounding my intentions than Cheryl Cole on The X Factor USA.
I am going to try and get back on board.
Safe seat please.
My CV will be presented all in good time.
I'd like to run again, even though I know it was a close run thing last time - I'm just expressing my interest at this point.
The only other thing I'd say about everyone in the current team is that I think we have worked really well together - I've only been there two years, but the difference between this year and last is so noticeable. Moopy has wanted for ages a mod team that make decisions in good time and don't take ages to sort outstanding issues - the last 9 months or so have been so much easier to participate as a moderator. I found there were times in the first year that were like pulling teeth whereas now I can genuinely say it's a pleasure. So my request/advice to Moopy would be: don't rock the boat too much; it's taken a LONG time to get a good mix of people that actually work together effectively. Don't change it just for the sake of it.
I'm really unsure.
I have loved the work of the current crop.
After the brief comoderating period with you I say DON'T BE.

I'LL VOTE FOR YOU SU
I'm voting for SU.
Top up, Sue?
I like the CV shizzle DON'T GET ME WRONG, but I ain't supporting Suomi as a mod in ANY SHAPE OR FORM.
ANARCHY!
(wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle)
Top up, Sue?
It's not that. He's barely even here.

You may as well employ Emma, Bunty, Tigerclaw and Strebor.
do we neeeeed 8 mods?
It's less than we've got currently or ever had since the beginning of elections
I think it's a good number to cover ourselves - it's just a case of being present at most times of the day
fair enough
I dont think I can have any mod who doesn't believe in tipping. Where's the integrity? The respect for the working man?
I think it's time I threw my hat back into the ring
A vote for VoR is a vote for:
* Experience - I've been a mod in the past and I was very active and vocal in the running of the site.
* Common sense - I believe the best modship should be almost invisible. Responding to people's requests, performing the little functional duties, spam-watching and generally not throwing your weight around.
* Constant vigilence - I'm on here a lot, particularly during office hours when other mods are often "busy" doing "work".
* Specialist care - I frequently keep tabs on the Eurovision, Odeon and chart forums, which need just as much care as the larger forums.
* Disaster - Despite my best intentions I always manage to screw things up spectacularly in the end. So chances are you'll get 10 months of excellent modship followed by an 11th hour scandal that rocks the forum to its very core/gives a few bored homosexuals a giggle. It's win-win really.
Choose Love. Choose Life. Choose VoR.

Dark Carnival for mod. He only tips nurses. THAT'S integrity.
oh I might go again, seeing as I was so spiffing last time, but only if there aren't enough good people going forward. There were more than enough last time and it all worked out quite well.
I probably WILL stand for re-election. I just need to pen my MANIFESTO.
I might tip a blind postman too
WHAT DID I SAY?
Vote Big Ron.
Take your nose off my keyboard.
ok
WHAT DID I SAY?
Why Agnetha as a mod?
Why I hear you ask? He's just a former shadow of his former self – and his former self was the baddest poster Moopy ever had. Well the answer is in the question. He's calmed down a lot. The venom has dried up, but the love of moopy is still there.
I was one of the longest running mods and a previous admin, who under my reign (yeah past glories and all that, but I was the only one who did it!) introduced advertising and the elected mod team amongst other things.
Whilst I quit under one of the many incidents you may call “cwej-gate”, you may have also noticed that particular long running feud is over. So there'll be no irrational banning there. I would however have no issue with ridding the site of ludicrous trolls (see Prawncracker for example). Some softer touches may have issue with this, but I say it's for the greater good of the site.
I really do love Moopy and think despite lower posting levels (something that I fear is irreversible – I genuinely believe the long gone day in day out rows kept post numbers up and social networking keeps them down – no amount of what I call “organised fun” can do much to change this) the site has carved it's own unique place on the internet. And it's evolved. I like how we've become a sardonic reflection of the rest of the related net, which ends up providing some of the most enjoyable reading on the topics we indulge in. Banter is long gone for the most part and we're now at the next stage of Moopy. So long as it stays alive and as long as it stays stimulating I'm all for change.
I am here a fair old amount (despite being significantly reduced from my glory days) and am the second biggest poster month to month. I like any sensible soul uses the 'new posts' so I have my eye on the whole site, most the time. I don't 'hang around' in any particular forum. I am an avid fan of 'related posts' – a great way to keep spot topics worth merging and not in the Sild and his Dialling Wand way. I am also a man obsessed with tags. On a totally selfish note, I'd love to see who is doing what! I don't feel the need to be specifically transparent as a mod. That's Christian's thing. But spontaneity often provides that anyway.
The year or more I have not been a mod I have found myself occasionaly frustrated that when I come up with something for the site I don't have my mod-ship to apply it. Still to this day I have moments of “we should do this... or that”. I am aware that more and more the role of mod is more an administrative one (technical know-how is a benefit). I think this is a good thing. I have increasingly noticed that the Moopy masses get far more say. A far cry from the days of pre-Star. The current mod team has been fantastic and been stunningly efficient. I wish to be part of that again and in the form of a slightly older and wiser Ag.

I miss you being a shit bag.
Take your nose off my keyboard.
Oh it still pops up now and again.

well, it's been a rollercoaster ride. And I can't think of anyone who has been a better mentor to me.I've decided to stand down this time. Thank you moopy, it's been a BLAST

I didn't think, I just posted
