Welcome jayshreddz as our newest moderator!
 

Guys and Girls of Musicbanter, I would like you all to welcome jayshreddz as the newest member of the mod squad. Be nice to him and help him out, he might be new but he's here to stay. Hopefully his music expertise will help us determine the direction this whole forum is going, learn from it and direct it in the best possible way.
Yac.

it's not even April 1st yet

Yeah, and last I checked, Hell was still as warm as ever.

Gonna go ahead and kill myself.

Wait for me. We should try and grab the rest of MB too. Suicide pact this ****, have Jayshreddz rule over a land of corpses with nothing to do apart from ban a bazillion spambots and ramble on to himself about his hastily formed beliefs on all manner of subjects about which he is ill-informed.

it's still better than making The Virgin a mod



























or not

I should be made a mod. I'd carry on the proud tradition boo boo started and never got to finish, before he was struck down in his prime.

Sounds like a plan. I'll ready the coffins.

Ahh fantastic, the good guys won today!!! I first noticed the wonderful potential after his confidence over where to merge a thread, and his weighty arguments against country music really changed my life!

Also, where would we be without his prompting on what is in accordance with the rules?

Congratulations!!!

not to mention his well-reasoned and intelligent comments on 80s music

And his comments on why everyone on MB has bad taste.

Just an FYI folks: this comes from the owners of the site. The mods didn't vote on this.

i'm sorry - this is all flying over my head

guess i really have to trade my Bob Marley records and get me some Jackson Browne

Owners: Hey, Yac, mod this guy Jayshreddz.
Yac: Wait, what? He's a terrible candidate for a mod!
Owners: Look, just do it, he has some dirt on us and we don't need it getting out there.
Yac: But thats a terrible idea, it gives him a platform to speak from!
Owners: WE KNOW, BUT WE CAN NUKE THE SITE IF HE DOUBLE CROSSES US, WE JUST DON'T WANT THE PICTURES HE HAS TO SURFACE OK?

Yac: **** it. If you want him modded, he's modded. Watch and repent as he destroys the community with hamhanded bull****.

Mods: Wait, this guy is modded? JANSZOON, QUICK, GO MAKE IT VERY CLEAR THAT NOBODY SANE HAD A HAND IN THIS MADNESS.

Or, an alternate explanation:

The ownership wants to demonstrate to the community exactly how good the mod team already is, by modding someone who couldn't be a worse choice, only to have them screw up massively and then they'll de-mod them and tell the community to be thankful for what they have.

They have chosen to do this because somebody up there finally read the thread where dirty complained about the moderation here and everyone started giving the mod team ****.

People are taking this way too seriously. It's pretty obvious that Jayshredz is an associate of Yac's and he was screwing around with us by posting clueless comments. I guess he had a lot of us fooled.

^^on the other hand, jayshredzz offered the owners a truckload of cash to be modded so he can be Hitler here

i fully expect my a/c to be banned later so goodbye in advance, folks

Alright, fact of the matter is jay is a new mod here and doesn't really deserve the cold-water welcome. I for one am happy to have him aboard (I'm so not just sucking up to the administration :D)

Alright, fact of the matter is jay is a terrible poster here and really doesn't deserve the red carpet modship. I for one am questioning the wisdom of this decision. (I'm so not saying what everyone is thinking :D)

And also, some people may not get along with him, but we expect that the community will afford him the same amount of respect as any other member or moderator here.

Thats exactly what I'm doing.

Fixed it for you ;)
jay is here to learn. Please don't make it harder than it has to be.
Yac.

Colour me confused.

I think he means Jay is here to lean the flow of our particular forums. If he's here to advise on the direction of the forum, he's going to have to get a sense of things around here first.

If thats the case, I can't see why he would need to be, nor how he would provide a benefit from being, modded right now.

there is something fishy in Denmark

ahhhh, do what thou wilt

My best guess (this whole thing hasn't been explained fully to us at this point) is that he's supposed to be getting the hang of all the aspects of the forum, including modding. There isn't a benefit of waiting for him to become a mod when it's part of what he needs to be looking at for whatever purpose regarding the future of the forums.

it was just a big surprise for me

not that i dislike him or anything but erm, strange choice?

I see this going very badly wrong, frankly.

Well obviously he knows the higher-ups and was chosen prior to even posting here. We can't assume to know their reasons for choosing him. Maybe his personality is exactly what they wanted. Or maybe it doesn't even matter.

Well, you're welcome in the IRC if you want to be man. irc.rizon.net #musicbanter

@ school right now. I'm out for a while.

May I ask then why is some closet associate of yours or the owners of this site given precedence in leading something he knows very little to nothing about, when for the past 8 years we have been led pretty much by a committee of respected and familiar mods who got there by merit... If this was premeditated then why weren't members made aware that he wasn't just some bumbling idiot that represents himself through asinine and ignorant communiques with respected contributors? Also, is he here to aid us with his "expertise" or is he here to learn on the fly? Some continuity would be nice, but seeing as this was an executive decision I don't really see that happening anytime soon.

alls y'all R just jealous of his intellingence! from the moment he joined I knew he was exactly what this forum needed, it was only a matter of time before he climbed the rankings to mod status.

See, this just makes me go back to my initial reaction of "Early April Fools joke?"

Who the fuck is jayshreddz?

edit: all time MB record. Modded in a week. I hope he's aw he's cracked up to be.

^^his name is Jason

and apparently, he can play the guitar quite fast

I can stick my finger up my arse and sit on my elbow?
