This is mentioned every time he creates the steam sale threads, but rarely mentioned from week to week, even though he keeps the sale threads updated several times per week...and has been doing this for at least 3 years now, without fail.

Of course, I don't think anyone has ever formally requested it. We just chat about it and no one does anything.

He puts in a lot of work for keeping us all informed, and is always quick and helpful with recommendations.

Truly he deserves it!

eww, can't edit title. It's: KaOTiK...I think.

I haven't been around here too long, but I can certainly agree with giving someone who does extra work for the community some notoriety for it.

IMHO, it should be done. This place is great because of members like him. One person like KaOTiK makes up for 50 trolls. I wish there were more members like him.


(KaOTiK my paypal is in my profile)

To be fair to you guys, this isn't how the process works. Elites are only nominated by mods, in part to make sure Elites aren't being minted on the basis of popularity (not saying that Kaotik is, BTW).

My advice to you would be to talk to the mod responsible for PC Gaming, KeithTalent. He can put forward an Elite nomination on the basis of Kaotik's actions in PC Gaming if he feels Kaotik is worthy of it.

Thanks for letting us know how that works!

Now can you tell me where the proper place to complain about Perknose touching me is?

The position for moderating your mom is currently filled, and there's a long list for who gets to fill it next. As such there's unlikely to be any openings in the near future.

Its not nearly as much fun picking on him now that he can't ban me. I need a new target.....


are you busy later?

You do know I still have the mod paypal address and I'm sure they'd do me a favor. The real question is, are you worthy? :whiste:

If only there was a "Your Mom" or "you mad bro?" forum in need of a Mod, I know the perfect person to fill that vacancy.

I think that being mod for the sake of being mod is not the good idea, I've been admin on large forum and I did alot of technical as well as moderating work in my free time and it's definitely something that you don't do just because you want mod or admin rank. It's either you wanna be mod and actually do it, or you want rank of mod and don't do anything beside harassing other users with BAN button. I'm sure that local admins and mods of this forum are well aware of the users who could be a good mods, but it is also the thing of the demand, if we have enough moderators to keep up forums going, I don't see a reason to promote more and more mods just because they shown some good work for the community. Then again, mod rank doesn't make you a better person within community, it is something like a vacancy rather than reward, it's not given to anyone just like that.
