Title: New Moderator
Post by: SysAdmin on July 18, 2011, 10:02:03 PM
Please welcome our newest moderator J-Golden. Please give him a warm welcome. A few of you have complained that sometimes it does not seem like we are minding the house. The problem was that we were short on moderators. We are working to resolved that issue.

My thoughts exactly.

@Adz i can't tell the meaning of your comment. Are you being ironic or are you being genuine?

For the record i think he will do a good job. Nice to get some new mods on here :)

Very very sad day... this used to be such a great place.... now the transition to Franko.org seems complete, as his main defender becomes a moderator.

I have the utmost respect for Bill I know he's been doing his best for the site since he took over, but it's just not the place it once was and many of the people I most respected here have already moved on due to what the site has now become so I guess it's time for me to do the same.

I couldn't find any way to delete my account here from the User CP (never had cause to even look before now), but if a mod (Karlos?) is reading this and they could delete my account for me I'd be grateful.

Just kills me how pissy people can be, lol.

J-Golden has never been anything less than articulate and utterly helpful around here, how about we give the dude a chance?

Just because he finds a bit of humor in Franko's antics doesn't mean that he's incapable of doing his mod job in an unbiased fashion.

As someone else said, anyone screaming about how they are boycotting A.org over a sorely needed new moderator - don't let the door hit your ass on the way out, lol.

Post by: J-Golden on July 19, 2011, 06:44:30 AM
Well, after reading all your posts (every eye bleeding one of them:lol:) I've decided your ALL BANNED!!!!
 
nah, just kidding.  Thanks for all the support.  I think it's kind of ominous that my internet took a crap right before I found out OI was made a mod though.:(
 
Had to wait till I got to the office to get all this goodness.
 
As for me and what I hope to do:  Nothing.  I really really hope that I have to do nothing and that everyone will find ways to agree to disagree and so forth.  We are all grownups here and I’d hope we can find more constructive ways of dealing with our differences then via low blows and crude language.

I knew there would be a few members with reservations about my ties with Franko and we talked before I even was accepted.  He knows the rules and understands that I'm here to enforce them.

If any one comes to me with a legitimate complaint, it will be delt with regardless of the offender.  I only ask that you try to find a solution between yourselves before it gets that far.

Thanks again for all the well wishes!  lets us all work together to make this site fun, informative and maybe a lil' naughty (in the Coffee House boys, in the Coffee House).

Your new Mod,
J-Golden

@ The Mods

As I can't seem to post anything anywhere else right now I need to ask here, why are all my posts both here and the posts & pictures I posted in the "What do we look like now" thread all being deleted (and I'm not talking about the ones argo moved to the sock drawer) !!!

@ J-Golden

alright Mr. Golden boy, seems funny that since you became an official MOD here that 2 of my recent posts got mysteriously deleted.:madashell:.

1 that I posted for tone's commodore netbook telling him that I bet CUSA would buy it and sell it for a mere 100% markup after shining the Commodore logo & the other was a message to Franko telling him to take his meds


SO fess up now because if I can't poke fun at CUSA and tell Franko to not forget to take his meds I'm outta here:furious::roflmao:


btw, I copied this post and will keep inserting it till infinity if it's deleted:cool:

Congratulations. More mods (and more strict mods) is sorely needed here. As you can see from this thread its clear who needs moderation here.  Its amazing how consistently pathetic and attention needing certain users are here its embarrassing.


I think there should be maybe 2-3 more mods and that we really start to enforce thread hijacking, spamming, nonsensical threads, flame baiting and more. PLEASE aorg has become a mere shadow of its former self its a shame, and I know that Discreet and others care for the amiga community more than most left and that its a big task but we can all do it together.

I'm surprised it took three pages for someone to go "oh, welcome, good to have you, now would you please put the smack down on people who say things I don't like?"

If you are talking about the great line on Army of Darkness and all that, it "became" it's own thread in the Coffee House/Entertainment. Just look for "Evil Dead on the Prairie"...;)

Nah, it was the response congratulating you and condescending those clowns that took offense to a friend of Franko's becoming a mod. Yes the Army Of Darkness response is gone too, but a 3 second response with no real thought to it doesnt really bother me to have been moved. Funny thing is there's been responses since that mirror my sentiments quite closely that was written after me which is still here.
