that question was answered, not only was it proper to ask urban and stu before perfection because of seniority, but the fact that we're being moderated by a 15 year old is not only rediculous but insulting ....

if you're going to choose another mod from the us, big3 would have been a far better and more deserving choice...

not only that, but this occured to me also:
iamalejo - emo/hardcore/punk
fenixpunk - punk
AITA - emo/hardcore
thrice - emo/hardcore
allnightdinah - emo/hardcore/punk
perfection - i have no idea but i would venture a guess that it's emo/hardcore
riseagainst - rock/metal

hmmmm.....nepotism? yes, and it sucks balls.....

and yes, the free masons REALLY DO RULE THE WORLD!!!!

/conspiracy theory

Senority by itself is a weak mod quality. I've met some 15 year olds who are more mature and capable than some 40 year olds. Give perfect a chance. We'll be announcing a few more promotions so relax.

I agree, age doesn't mean anything and I realize this is a music forum but as long as the person is checking the music forums and making sure its all on topic, music knowledge isn't required at all.

I think thats stupid because just by that its kind of obvious you don't know them, AITA posts alot in rock and metal and general music just as much (maybe more) then in hardcore and emo. Thrice isn't a mod anymore, nor is all nite dinah. Perfection listens to hardcore/emo/punk/metal which are the most active boards and rise listens to a shiz load of stuff and considering the fact they're doing a fine job of modding its ok, i really don't think we need to elect some purely because they listen to *insert obscure non rock related genre here* because its (usually) barely an active forum. Just my two cents though.

yeah right man, you listen to bits and pieces of anything, but you're hardly as diverse as say hookers is, and you cannot deny the fact that your major music interest is and always will be punk, and i thought the connection i made about mods and the type of music they listen to ( thus the forums they mainly hang out in and the people they know ) was very insightful, allnightdinah was made mod because you really respect him, why? because he knows a shitload about punk, nevermind the fact that a mod is supposed to go arround the entire forum ,aaaaannd the much dreaded lounge, and half the people here had no idea who or what he is ( i just found out that he's a guy ).....that combined with perfection being made a mod ( which was completely out of the blue and absolutely noone supports the decision apart form those who suggested him ) really ticked me off, and i'm not the only one, and it clearly shows the way mods are made, by other mods, perpetuating the little elite circle.....

am i right or what?

I think your attack on fenixpunk is really out of line. Who cares who is more diverse, this isn't some competition. allnightdinah now demoded, had good potential, it didn't work out and now we've corrected our mistake. Big deal. The staff does come together and discuss new prospects. We do not promote based on pure friendships.

adidasss

what attack on fenix? i have no problems with the guy whatsoever, and think he's a fine mod, but i am positive that allnightdinah was made a mod because of his suggestion, which supports my theory about the recent mod nominations, who suggested perfection? hmmm......i'm pretty damn sure it wasn't any of us, and if i'd have to think really hard, i would say it was riseagainst......right? i thought so.....

Actually it was my independent decision and I'll stand by it. Besides that choice everyone else promoted is talked about between the staff and I see nothing wrong with how we come to our conclusions.

Fenixpunk

I dont think I was aware that AND was becoming a mod untill after he became one. We both are on another forum, one that is moderated very firmly and my respect for him is his way of thinking and his stand against certain issues, not his music collection.
