I thought you did. As I recall, Cessandra (and where is she anyway?) wanted to volunteer when there was a moderator recruitment drive last year, but couldn’t because she was under 21.
Sorry Euty! I must’ve had a vacuum tube go out on me or something! Either that or the punch card got processed twice…
You got punchcards?
Wow! We have to…mmmfftt.
Slam!
[[I know this is probably a dumb question, but does anyone know if there is a way that I could become a SDMB moderator? I’m willing to do it for free(that is, if the other moderators are paid).]]
Will you pay the rest of us?

I wanna be a moderator too.
You wannabe a lot of things, chump.

Well as long as we are dolling out titles, I would like to be King of the World, that is if James Cameron is done with the job.
I am rather new, but it appears the mods on this BB are pretty long suffering. Thanks for all your help in making this a fun place to hang out.
I’ll be in the back slapping the big nosed rasta man.
Yo, I’ve been registered for a month, but I’ve been lurking as John_Locke for over a year. And humor me here: could you please wait about a month, and review any posts I have made, and make your final decision about not allowing me to be moderator then? Also, sorry about the pay comment, but I didn’t know if the moderators were employed by Cecil or something.

What!!!..you mean on the net you can’t be anything you want to be???
Damn! and here all this time I thought I was a PurpleCrackwhore!
I really try to be good but it just isn’t in my nature!
Perhaps a good way to spend this month would be solid, informed contributions to threads, eh? Thus far, your contributions to knowledge on this board have been… er… less than staggering.
And – solely for the sake of my own curiosity – pretend this is an interview for the position, and like many job interviews, you were asked, “Why do you want the job, and what could you contribute?” I’d be interested in hearing your answers.

If he gets to be a moderator, I want a pony.
A hush fell over the courtroom, killing six.
Lynn doesn’t know this, but then none of you do, but I used to be a moderator on a BBS for a couple of years. There were about 400 people & almost 75% teenagers.
The kind of crap you get is amazing. I only got a couple of people who didn’t like what I did & tons of people wrote the owners saying they did like how I moderated but those two people who bitched kinda keep you on your toes.
Can we please have a rule that no moderators are allowed to have funky weird characters in their names, like [DOG]FUnkS0n6boYZ!
It gets really awkward to have to say things like “But please, *(FY#NHBV&^#$, I didn’t mean any offense when I said pound-star-percent.”
Sorry, Bosda d’chi whatever.
Hey, Jediah! How the hell you been, boy? ECC treating you well? Don’t worry about us. They’ve all forgotten about you here at Canterbury. Have you talked to Brian at all recently?

I’ve been good. ECC is pretty good, but most of my courses are too easy, cause I signed up for intro level chemistry, which turns out to be on a lower level than Lewton’s course. And yes, I am currently corresponding with Brian through email on the subject of Final Fantasy VIII, which we are both playing right now(although Brian has probably finished the game by now. I WAS ahead of him, but I started over on his advice, cause I missed just about every good item in the game).
By the way douglips, just call me Firesong. The [WAR] just denotes that I’m in a clan in an online game, and the TCA indicates that I play the Sniper and Spy classes in the aforementioned game.
I know that none of you actually CARE, but I felt it my duty to keep people informed about pointless things.

Yo? :rolleyes:
Funny how you missed the common mention that Moderators are not compensated for their work.
Come on over to the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Facility and we’ll make you a proper moderator…

How ironic that someone with nine posts gets the same exact response - verbatum - as I did with my application.
For the record, I also, when asked for elaboration, after the very clear one word answer - I was told that it was because I was…
Get this…
“Too well-liked.”
Frankly, if this was was the reason, this guy in the OP should own this fucking board, don’t you think?
Also, it begs the question - Where are all of the people who hate manhattan and Gaudere?
Now, lest you think I’m bitter, well, I FUCKING AM!
And not just because I wasn’t apparently given any consideration (at least as much as the original poster, judging from the eerie simularities between replies to he and myself)… In spite of my obvious qualifications on the form that I filled out TWICE because the administrator in question ahem “lost” my earlier application…
I am quite bitter over the lame, bullshit excuse that I was given, one that I got only AFTER I asked for elaboration on the “no” that the 9-post wonder above got.
Anyone who wants to buy some used Straight Dope books (I have all but the most recent), drop me a line…

Well, I don’t want to be a moderator. But I would like to be Queen Bitch Goddess of the Universe, please. Where do I submit my application?
