Just because they don't post in your corner of the forum doesn't mean they don't post at all.

No. I can think of several people who would make excellent mods though.

So can I. Maklohi, Napkiraly, Blaat, Neo, you, Hurde, Des. Maybe more, but I'm bad at thinking of people off the top of my head.

You apparently don't know that that last thing, about it being easier if there were no players, was a joke.

So can I, and probably so can several other people.

I wonder when the last time anyone was actually nominated.

Thus, the more ironic thing I find with today's world, myself am included.

WE complain and moan about things not being done, but if we are given the choice to change it, we do not, for it requires work...

But I'm slightly exaggerating the point...

anyway, to the OP's topic. I am scotch free, but I feel like I am close on several occasions.

to the topic at hand about moderating, why not get some names up of people, so fresh blood can take the weight off some mods.

I support peace in Israel and Palestine. The governments and people in power on all sides are an absolute disgrace, and their unwillingness to pursue peace is a disservice to the people they are meant to be serving. The status quo is not simply untenable; it is unquestionably unacceptable.

Neo would be my first choice, he seems to have a good head on the trolling problem.

...hitler?
ask moderation about reading serious moderation candidates TGs without telling them about it until afterwards and/or apparently refusing to confirm/deny the exact timeline of TG reading ~~~ i hope you never sent any of the recent mods or the ones that got really close anything personal!

signature edit: confirmation has been received. they will explicitly do it before and without asking. they can look at TGs basically whenever they want so please keep this in mind when nominating people for moderator or TGing good posters/anyone!

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

They don't want to share their power?
