Based on the posts here, I have decided to start a petition for each doper to be a mod for a day.
Each doper will get to pick the mod of their choice, and they will take their place for the day that they are selected to act as a mod.
TubaDiva, since she is the only mod of her forum, will not be able to be taken place of, and therefore will choose the dopers to act as mods.
Okay, hopefully, if we get enough names, this will happen.
I hate to pee in the punch, but there’s no way this is gonna happen. The damage that could be done by someone who might choose to act maliciously is rather extensive and there’s no way we’ll risk that.
Sorry.
Oh, poo. 
but Uncle Beeeeeer. We promise we’ll behave. Just give us the keys to the SDMB - we’ll just take it out into the driveway.
Actually I don’t know what power mods have. I only though they had the power to move, edit(inc. delete - I could see how this one could get us in trouble), see ip logged addresses, and close threads.
What about a special forumn the “Mod for the day” forumn and limit the mod power to that thread only? That Mod could select what type of posts can go there.
I don’t think it works that way: I suspect the software allows you to be a mod or not for all the forums, not just one…which would mean you get access to the secret mod room, with the secret mod jaccuzzi, and so on!
And if they showed you all the cool secret mod stuff they have, they’d have to have you hunted down like a dog, lobotomized and killed :eek:
Y’know, by stopping your scheme in it’s tracks, Uncle Beer just saved your life!
I think you owe him a drink or two at the next Dopefest at the minimum!

Hey, what fun you could have… find some innocent poster, change everything he’s written for the day to read “Whites, women and jews suck”, and watch the fur fly! Or move Cafe Society threads into Great Debates, Great Debates into the Pit, and Pit Threads into Cafe Society. Quelle confusion! Or start banning people based on their thread count - highest go first! Or make a list of all the email addresses that are concealed from the general public and sell them to spammers for fun and profit! Or you could find threads that are going nicely, and lock them!
Oh, the hijinks you could have as mod for a day!
Thank you Uncle Beer for saving us all from SDMB Armageddon.
I’m entirely qualified and well-suited to moderate this forumj
But ironically, white Jewish women don’t suck.
[sub]oh man…If anyone needs me, I’ll be over in the pit waiting for the thread based on this post.[/sub]
I know that is now it works because a mod from GQ once locked my thread in GD - Actually they unlocked it after some thought on it. It was more of a gut reaction to what I was saying taking over then it doesn’t belong here.
But I still like the idea of another forumn set up where the MFAD could use without allowing him access to the rest of the boards. Perhaps linking to a totally seperate BBS so there is no way he could get his grubby little hands on hte SDMB controls.
I understand that this will probably never happen but don’t say no and blame the technology (finances -ok).
At another message board, a friend of mine made me a mod of my own forum on his boards. Why couldn’t the SDMB do that?

Who peed in the punch!?!
God DAMN it. I KNEW there was stuff you guys weren’t telling me.
C’mon…where do we keep the cherry bombs and Superglue and the big mallets?

Q. How do you know when a white Jewish woman has an orgasm?
A. She drops her nail file.
