I'd correct everyones spelling and grammar because I'm slightly OCD :)

There's a lot of threads that need merging so I guess that's the first thing I'd do. Also, I would not give regua my number.

I would probably close every double post, double thread, give spammers ban warnings, and the regular stuff mods do, I mean why sud I do any different?

I'd put on levi jeans, get them wet so that they shrink on me, ride my scooter to Brighton.

You're all too young to have seen Quadrophenia, this reference means nothing to you.

Merg/delete threads, two or three more sub topics (art forum E3 09)

Maybe give Otacon a short suspension, if only to show the poser Otacons that he should be the only who can act like him.

Make commas mandatory for every sentence, that way I don't feel like I over use them.

Enforce forum sub-section use more strictly. Merge double/triple/quadruple posts that happen all to often.

Browsing through the forums to check is too much work. I would just ban people that piss me off.

hmm I don't think I can even do any of those things. Looks like there is a mod hierarchy and I am at level 1.

I would rule with an iron fist. Oh wait...

Ploogle
06-02-2009, 07:08 PM
In all seriousness, I'd merge dupe topics, close spam, and edit out vulgar and otherwise harsh posts towards other members. I mean, what else do mods do? Keep the peace.

Sorry to break it to ya, but mods can't create forum sections. You'll have to take that up with Rothbart.

Artemas
06-02-2009, 07:20 PM
Lol, Elaborate please.

Instead of banning 300 wannabes, show that the main guy is not untouchable so they will stop copying him.

My first grade teacher loved that theory, whole class missed 1 month of recess (through out the year)because one jerk did something stupid.

Damn I still hate her to this day:lol:

If clean up all the E3 fanboy ranting, search for pointless threads until me eyes start bleeding, and leave a viatrophy style last post in every thread I close.

Id do anything to be a mod on this site. Not in like an I want everyone to know me way, but to get these forums back to the way they used to be: fun and /b/tard free.

Sorry, you posted before I was done writing.

What do you mean "locked out"? And why did you need to change your email twice in the past 2 years? If you change emails that much, you probably deserve it.

strika234
06-02-2009, 08:02 PM

@strika I changed from AOL to gmail the first time and then my old gmail account got a lot of spam so I had to make another. Last account was snugglebear and first one was snazzy something I can't remember it was a while back when I used it.

Artemas

Is it really a big deal? This whole thread is from a hypothetical question.


@strika I changed from AOL to gmail the first time and then my old gmail account got a lot of spam so I had to make another. Last account was snugglebear and first one was snazzy something I can't remember it was a while back when I used it.

Why make a new SG account then? No one is going to e-mail you through it, and if you enter a contest they just go from the account you sent your entry in.

karizmatkstalyn
06-02-2009, 08:40 PM
When I changed the email it sends a confirmation code to you but I never got the email so it wouldn't let me post any longer.

in all honesty, id kick people i didnt like, and i would kick people who i dont knwo, but come on here thinking they are the dogs bollocks.

So it's probably a good thing i won't be a mod

I'd ban anyone who whines when a game goes cross-platform.

Or those that INSIST games should ONLY be on certain platforms.

You know who you are... be thankful my force powers don't work through the internets.

It's "Grammar" by the way.

Hmmm...what would I do? I'd probably just do "MOD" stuff. You know, move threads, clean up the forums, and be cool while I do it.

Yeah...I know...I'm boring.

ThePianoMan

Ploogle has done that and.

And I dunno, normal Mod Stuff.

Sorry to hear you can't do them stuff 8Bit, do we think Mods are just over-powered, or can you do some of it?

(Oh, I would delete posts which use 'sum' instead of 'come' and the such, gets on my nerves :wink2: )
