AnandTech Forum Guideline and Moderation Changes Announcement

[mk]

Good choices for DC moderators. Congrats Smoke & RaySun2Be. :thumbsup:

Are these new assignments or were you guys outed as mods like the rest of the crew (just curious)?

Congrats to the new mods!

 

[JWMiddleton]

Just noticed this, guess I was naping. But, I did notice Greg's new title yesterday.

Gratz Smoke and Ray!

I didn't notice anything in the guidelines about hazing new moderators. I'm assuming that's allowed?

Congrats to Smoke & raysun2be!

NOTE: I'm ignoring this thread, FWIW.


Before you start hazing, just remember this. Smoke still has his trout, and Ray still has his cane. So haze at your own risk...

Dennis and I are brand new. The old Mods were looking for some highly intelligent and good looking young guys to help them out so we were the obvious choices. :laugh:

Then they must have been really really really old mods

I think you meant curmudgeons, but it does explain why they bracket me on the TeAm Faces.

Birds of a feather flock together!

our new status as mods hasn't affected our being a couple of old curmudgeons one bit.

In fact, we might have to be a bit nicer than usual now we have senior mods watching what we do..... :Q

*whack*

nah, I still feel like the same old curmudgeon.....:evil:

Congrats guys - you are both very deserving, and I know you will both continue to be assets to our community.

Now Greg, have you gone back & edited all those posts where you said: "I am not a mod"?

It would look funny finding one of them where your title says you are a mod but you are saying: "I am not a mod"?

Naw - don't edit them, I want to be able to get a laugh once in a while

I've been waiting for you to weigh in ... maybe dreading is a better word. lol :laugh:

I'd be hard pressed to find two better mods than the two selected. I'd also be hard pressed to find a forum that needed mods as little as this one.

Question: If the mods don't ever have to do anything, do they still get the title?

Further, if a forum doesn't need moderating, do we all win something, like a complimentary TeAm T-Shirt or something :Q

lol, good one!

congrats to the new mods.

 

[zeruty]

As has been previously stated, I couldn't think of two more qualified people for the position! Congratufreakinlations!!

Smoke, congrats! just don't forget your roots, where you got your moderator experience
In fact, I hope you have enough time for this new AT gig with all the traffic requiring moderation over at deception.... I mean, that's a full-time job right there!!

Ray, congrats to you too!

 

[Evadman]

If they screw up, let me know and I will get the S&M mod involved.

Congratulations, RaySun2Be and Smoke on your new positions, and :thumbsup: on the fine work you've done so far!

Question: I heard a rumor that as long as I praise you guys effusively whenever I post, that it will not be considered as neffing. Is this true?

I've modified my sig so I don't forget to do this!:laugh:

I've unmodified my sig because the joke has lost its luster.

 

[Pokey]

Congratulations, guys on your new appointments.

I am afraid though that this will cut into Greg's nap time.

But I'm sure they will both do an outstanding job and I'm looking forward to not hearing from them.

I for one plan to ignore both of them. :roll:

CAREFUL THERE!
