The moopy 2023 ADMIN election

[big ron]

While we all wait for a general election in the UK its time to stir up a political storm on our very own gay and gay adjacent chat longe with a round of votes on the admin and mod positions.

Will the whatsapp messages between Indie and Kate finally be leaked to the public? Will the rumours that ButterTart showed his hole to the Sexual Goose be proven true? Has VoR been posting as Inner Smile all along? Will Big Rons drug habit finally see him lose the moopy whip? None of this is important.

What is important is that anyone who wishes to stand for this glamorous role present a manifesto in this thread so that we, the citizens of moopy may elect 3 dear leaders. But wait, what the actual fuck does an admin do I hear you cry?

An ADMINISTRATOR is broadly the gatekeeper to Moopy, who holds the keys. Amongst other things, they can:
Turn Moopy on/off
Install forum upgrades
Talk to the server hosts, fix issues like downtime
Change the structure of the forums, colour schemes, add new forums, change banners
Access the backing database and root forum code
+all the stuff a moderator can do
Anyone can be administrator. Technical knowledge is useful, but absolutely not essential.

Do YOU have what it takes to be admin? If so, please post your manifesto in here. Applicants have until 23.59pm on Saturday, 4th of November to apply.

We are looking to fill THREE positions. If there more than three candidates it will go to a vote.

This election is in no way endorsed by the Manitoba Marketing Board. No cash alternative available. Shoplifters will be prosecuted.

More than happy with the current three.

INDIE OUT

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I can confirm I will be seeking to remain an administrator of this gay chat longe.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

A humorous manifesto that nevertheless highlights my achievements will follow when I can be arsed to do so.

In the meantime, here is a picture of Emily Thornberry

 

[big ron]

More than happy with the current three.

Absolutely but wouldn’t it be great to get an outlier like Helen S standing with a fire manifesto

 

[Lucille]

Girls stop messaging I’m not standing.

 

[Apoca]

I wonder how many are going to put themselves forward. I suppose we're looking at

 

[Apoca]

It won't be me though, I'm afraid. Largely because

 

[ButterTart]

Two questions:

1. How much does it pay
2. Do you have to be any good at computers to do the job
3. Is being shit at counting an impediment to success

 

[octophone]

Happy with the current trio.

 

[Apoca]

@ZenGiraffe did call Tension "a song by an artist" though.

 

[Beverley]

@ZenGiraffe did call Tension "a song by an artist" though.

Get her, Jade

 

[Funky]

oh okay I'll stand. Vote me.

 

[Funky]

 

[GinAg (39)]

Shame I'd welcome the chance to put it to a vote.

 

[Funky]

Why would we even change the three we've got? Who else is knowledgeable enough to be able to send me patronising replies when I'm having cache issues? NOBODY!

 

[lolly]

Shame I'd welcome the chance to put it to a vote.

Didn't we do a vote of confidence once when nobody else stood?

Not that I'm sure it's necessary.

 

[Star]

I'm happy with the three we have <3

 

[Star]

Equally if anyone else did want to stand, please do!

 

[COB]

I'm happy with the current team also!

 

[Rita]

I thought we had two admins? Indie and Zen Giraffe. I know we can view staff somewhere but I can’t find it.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

@Administrator Click that to see which Admin you just CRUELLY SNUBBED

 

[Apoca]

Whatever happened to women supporting women

 

[Rita]

OMG. I thought Kate was a mod. To be brutally honest I don’t actually know what anyone does but we run well so it is obviously working.

 

[Rita]

When we ask @Administrator or @Moderator to edit something can we see who actioned it?

 

[KindaCool]

Does the position come with a pension plan?

 

[ZenGiraffe]

No, the admins have a log we can check though

People asked for a vote, so here we are.

 

[Martha Skidd]

Will ANYBODY ELSE please be SOILING their BALLOT?

 

[big ron]

Even a vote for more of the same is a vote.

 

[Rita]

No, the admins have a log we can check though

So only admins can really see who is pulling their weight?

 

[Inner Smile]

I can confirm I will be seeking to remain an administrator of this gay chat longe.

FANTASTIC NEWS

Here's to my moopy death

 

[BoysForSeles]

Also signing the happy with whoever is doing it at the moment ballot.

 

[Star]

Does the position come with a pension plan?

Yup. 80% of what you earn is paid directly into the Moopy Retirement Home for the Ageing Homosexual fund. This will allow us to build a custom made home complete with mirrored ceilings, glory holes and cottage apartments. Rachey has already begun her training in befriending an ageing person, and lolly has signed up for a ground floor apartment.

[Indie]

WHAT ON EARTH

I thought this was a dictatorship. I mean HONESTLY.

 

[Indie]

Might as well, anyway. Otherwise I'll have to edit my CV. "Former Admin of gay chat lounge" just doesn't have the same appeal.
