Nope. The application is designed to give me tremendous levels of lulz.
[quote=zacmur]@Excelion: I guess I didn't explain what I was trying to say well enough,
I was trying to say that one of the mods should put what Eeveepony said somewhere where it could be read, just so people won't have to keep asking the community/ mods[/quote]

[quote=zacmur]@Mods You should put some kind of 'guide' in the site section stating this stuff.[/quote]
...why? Being a mod merely means you're a good member (as @Eeveepony stated in her first post) of the forums. That's all there is to it, really. There's no secret formula or achievement you have to unlock. It's all common sense.
[quote=KilIerCombo]I think eeveepony is trying to sabotage you... She knows very well that some mods like to be jerks about their suspentions.[/quote] Not really. Actually we hate it. Honestly when one's entire job revolves around preventing chaos and disorder, what advantage would we have to be mean about it? It takes longer to suspend more people for no reason than it does to simply suspend rulebreakers. It creates more trouble for us when folks are unhappy. Before anyone gets into the "fun" argument -- if you suspend hundreds of people in a day, suspending one guy illegitimately isn't really fun. [quote=MoldyLunchBox]can we still be nominated even though we're gay?[/quote] I don't see how that would make a difference. Actually, if memory serves, you can be a lot more than nominated.

You must be rich, pretty, and be able to speak Chinese.
Give mr.basil a sponge bath. This is why there aren't a lot of mods.
