Surely this was discussed before, but wow, it deserves another thread nonetheless.

This place has gone to hell since I have left. I'll bet Freddy Fokker is an Admin too?

Hi new member and welcome here. If you aren't used to how a forum works, here's some helpful info. Please do a search around first to make sure there isn't an active thread on the topic you want to discuss.

We currently have a thread discussing the brilliant and subtle squirrel's rise to fame here: http://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=173539

Hello Jojobean and welcome to Eater.

We hope you enjoy your time with us.
Read the stickies, bait safe and get a mentor if you feel you need one.

I'm sorry. I didn't know about a search. How do I get my lad to chop his own head off while on safari to the moon?

^^I've assigned member Yeah Whatever to be your mentor. He's really good at doing that. You'll like him, he's warm and fuzzy.

^Short and Bald, judging by his avatar...

No insults meant.

No problem. We have mods who can lock this thread right up for you. Slightly?

Well, before you even attempt it you have to start an ethics thread here about it so that everyone can come up with the "what ifs" and discuss them ad naseum. Luckey's suggestion of YW as a mentor is a good one. Please send him three or four PMs regarding this to get his attention.

Th@nks 4 th3 h3lp @ll. I h@v3 decided to l337 certain words so that the sc@mmer cannot find m3! H0w brilliant!?!?!?!

One more question, can I be a moderator too? It seems there are no standards or qualifications, so I figured I am therefore qualified.

Fredrick is a respected member of our community. Go away troll.

Jojobean.

Publish some half-decent baits, work well within the community, show some intelligence and generally be an all round good guy and who knows? Maybe mod-dom will await you one day.

Aw shit. Do I really have to be nice to this lard-ass? I mean, I know mods are all respectable and stuff but can't I lapse and call him a "tosser" just once?

^ you're at it again, I told you, only wing them the first time, these noobies have to be molly-coddled at first, you can't keep blowing them to bits when they first get here, maiming is the normal procedure. You have to giver them a bit of slack so they don't get scared away.

Welcome to Eater. You look like trouble, we're watching you.
Damn obese American n00bs, wading in here expecting to be liked. You have to earn respect around here, by actually doing something around here.

I seem to remember (from lurkier days) that you use to be Slightly's Oga. Doesn't that make you a Moderator already?

Nothing to be upset about here Jojo. Letting SOOI be a mod is sort of like letting the tiniest, sickliest kid in school be the manager of the varsity football team.

It was the other way around - I taught him everything he knows.

Some mischievious mod gave him that tag as an ironic joke.
I have still not forgiven them.

edit Ah. I see my other mentee (and probably my biggest failiure), YW has joined in the Slightly bashing.

Oh, can Moderators do such things? Now that you're one I guess you'll find out. Though I'd guess that you're above such tactics.

Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2009 6:38 pm

^^ I am an honourable squirrel.
I would never stoop to such underhanded tactics.

Or at least I won't until I find out which button it is to change a tag.

Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2009 6:43 pm

^^^^
It's probably that big red button marked "CUSTOM TAG"!

Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2009 6:45 pm

Hey juice box guy, let me know if you need someone to show you how to click a button.

I thought maybe it was some sort of charity case like that. Or maybe community service, as a result from the Eater lawsuit. They had to let some invalid be a mod. Kudos to you SOOI. You're a big boy now!

@Magnolia- indeed, I was his oga. But it's like trying to teach a rock to read. Except much harder.

Yeah dude. But I'll never be as "big" a boy as you.

I bet he can read and write well enough to change your tag to "retired knobend".

But he's an honourable squirrel. And above such mischieviousness.

We missed you!!!

Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2009 9:12 pm

Thank you much lotta. My life has been filled with lots of other things and baiting had to be retired. There were lots of personal reasons for that. Glad to see all is well here, except for crazy bushy tailed rats becoming mods.
