a mod doesnt need a million posts or be noticed by everyone on the board. It isnt a popularity contest, it isnt based on who has the most posts. For the most part we throw around some names and what qualities they may have that would make a good mod, or the exact opposite. Being able to keep a level head is a quality you seem to be overlooking. notice theres no bitching and moaning from PTS about the slack you guys have given him. thats what im talking about. im sure greg has his own criteria for what kind of person he wants overlooking his board when hes away, and i doubt someone who is always complaining and starting arguments or constantly degrading other members is part of that criteria.

was that aimed at me? if so, say so please....i'm not very good at reading between the lines and have a tendancy to take things the wrong way.

perhapse you're right, in fact i'm sure of it, i'm sure that someone who has absolutely no discernable personality and is willing to do the grunt work and stay quiet about it is a far better choice than someone who actually has a lot to say......
but we sure as fuck got sidetracked, if you read my original post, i was also a little pissed that the wast majority of the mods are from the us......as soon as you rectify the situation, i'll stay quiet for all eternity..... or not.....

my original point was that there's like 20 mods when it's evening in europe, and perhapse 1 when it's morning or afternoon, i just thought i'd be nice to relieve AITA of some of the work, as i know she does a lot.....and noone seems to take that into consideration when naming new mods, we have plenty of great mods from america, but only 1 for the rest of the world....and i guess i just thought that was a bit unfair, to AITA aswell as to the boards......

I agree it would be nice, however in the whole scope of things where a person lives is just not very important in deciding who should be promoted. It's a bonus, but definately not a key factor.

I'm going to close this thread. If anyone has any more thoughts about the topics dicussed in here can PM me or another staff member.
