The only thing that is making me feel a bit sad is that I have a funny feeling that, come midnight, I will turn back into a pumpkin or something, and the glamour and glitter of being a mod will disappear, never to be seen again. The world will turn grey. Sob. ---

Hello. I have been a member/lurker/charter member/guest/member/guest since 2000. I have a very low posting rate and low recognizability on the boards. I think I deserve a kick ass title today so everyone can go “who the hell IS that”. Please. I have puppy pictures, cool recipes for chocolate, a stocked liquor cabinet, and large breasts. ---

I hope this doesn’t wreck the fun, but mods can’t change custom titles. You need an admin for that. But I did pass your request along, **Mona Lisa Simpson** , so with luck they’ll deal with you soon. Be careful what you wish for, though. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/as-i-am-now-a-mod/534559.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/as-i-am-now-a-mod/534559.md?page=3)
