As I've said before, just because you deserve a cookie doesn't mean I'm going to give you one.

Okay, I'll click on two "Spoiler" buttons before I think to myself, "Not important" and move on;).

Also, glad I'm not going to be banned for general apathy! Although, I do feel a shunning coming on...

My apologies for breaking the two-post rule before, I did not notice until now. My excuse shall be that I was distracted by partial differential equations.

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

5237

So long as I'm not being shunned, I'll accept your excuse. Math always made me constipated. I mean, consternated.

And Hamish, clicking edit doesn't seem to work for me. By the way, are you guys picking up any more site staff members ?

[jacksunny 741]

I would like to know that as well

[astronelson 339]

Asking is a sure-fire way to not get picked.

The site administrators pick only trusted, active, and helpful members to fill vacant positions. Staff positions are never obtained by asking or campaigning for them.

rules can answer your question

Accidentally deleted the 'Advertisements' thread D:

WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOO! I've got GPRS again! :D *partys*

Ooooh man, that sucks. 100 kb/s .-_- The only disadvantage of a holiday home in the middle of the countryside.

[jacksunny 741]

GPRS?

Thats because you can't edit other peoples post

Have no idea, they just sort of seem to appear. The admins cover that aspect of the site since they are like our "bosses".

PM Meg, she should be able to track it down for you

Asking is a sure-fire way to not get picked.

To be fair, though, not every site operates on such a policy. I have, on other fora, seen announcements made saying "okay, we have a moderator position open. If you're interested, please contact so-and-so and explain to us why we should pick you." And then they (presumably) choose the applicant they like best. This then saves the administration the trouble of potentially asking someone who's not interested.

I do think the way ST does it (which is the way most sites do it) is better, though... it's a pretty universal principal that those who most desire power are the least suited to wield it. The best moderators are people who would never apply for the job if it were announced, but will willingly do it if they are personally called upon to.

[Larks2242 251]

5237.

And the choices seem to always work out too.

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

5247

Yeah, I really think that this site has a good staff. I don't mean to become one . It would be nice to see the Custom Member Labels come back, though.

EDIT: That number may be out of sequence, Larks ...

Surprisingly, I'm finding that I don't particularly miss the CMLs. They were work for me that now I don't have to do.

To be fair, it was work you chose to do.

I would reach my 999th and 1000th post!
