You know, I stopped shaving to think of something to write here. That worked out well.

Everything in Moderation (part 2)

Posted by Coop - January 18th, 2010

Hi Guys and Girls,

Yes, as some of you may have noticed, I've gotten a promotion (of sorts). I am now not only a Review Moderator, but a BBS Moderator as well. Now I'm at even greater freedom to "impinge upon your civil liberties". If you fall into this category, you have likely broken the rules, so please pay attention to them, lest I visit you with banstick, once it arrives in the post, or I catch it up.

DAMN YOU, FedEx! *shakes fist*

Right, we've got new tools to play with, I've now spent the most of the weekend learning what these all do, so I'm tooled up and ready to go. I guess I've got to go on a list for more "initiation detail", so that should be fun.

If you wish to try currying favour with me, flattery, flirtation, sexual advances, monetary donations, gifts and other such techniques do not actually work, but if you are willing to give them a try, you'll probably survive if it's gifts or money... or flattery. Bex can get a little peeved if you try flirting or anything sexual, but don't let that stop you. I'm relying on her steel toe-capped boots to be able to do that, should she feel the need :P

WritersBlock 2010-01-19 08:29:42

*testing anti-grammar seeking ban missiles <.<

Coop 2010-01-19 08:29:42

*twitches* Oh god, you didn't did you?!

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAN! *launches missiles*

Damn you, now I've got to get some new trousers.

RohantheBarbarian 2010-01-20 08:21:34

Please, Coop-Bot... look into your hard drive, and open your mercy file!

Coop 2010-01-20 08:21:34

File not found >:(

Sheizenhammer 2010-01-21 09:01:47

You have my deepest sympathy.

Seriously, why the fuck did you accept being a BBS mod as well? Weren't you already sick of the butthurt?
All you're gonna get is the pseudo-respect of a bunch of cocksuckers / elitist mods, and a whole lot more haters to block from your inbox. And for what?

Coop 2010-01-21 09:01:47

I'm enjoying it - not only am I one of the biggest statwhores on Newgrounds, I'm now going to be one of the most feared / respected users on the site.

To be honest, I've got integrity and the mods aren't elitist. If you think they are, that's your opinion, which I won't hold against you personally.

Besides, BBS modding is more of a passive thing, while I'm browsing the forums, as opposed to active reviewing as I have to actually dive into the pile of reviews flagged by users in order to get the place sorted.

Sheizenhammer 2010-01-21 09:38:53

Oh, don't get me wrong; not all mods are elitist. In fact, I can only think of one or two who seem to have let the aura get to them. The vast majority are decent people whose opinions (at least those expressed publicly) seem genuine, whether towards another mod or not.

Wanting to be 'feared' by people is a bit odd, IMO. The only ones who'd actually fear you on the BBS are those who have some reason to think they're going to be banned constantly (read: moron kids). But meh; you can't usually get much of a decent conversation out of most of them anyway, so having some fun scaring them isn't such a bad idea.

(And I noticed the statwhore-ery. :P)

Coop 2010-01-21 09:38:53

Exactly, it's voluntary work, at the end of the day. You can do as much or as little as you want, though they obviously prefer if you do more, just to keep the place in a degree of order.

Not necessarily the fear, but trying to get respect out of teenagers is a silly thing to try, as you usually have to do something stupid, like setting fire to your pubic hair, or waxing your head, but fear is something you can get out of the younger ones and that's how you deal with some of the situations. I know of people who react by going "OMG, a mod!" in a thread and if I see them do that, their posts won't last long.

Besides, over the last year, I become more sociable, especially when it came down to visiting the meetups. Perhaps this means I'll get more people coming up to me at London in August and chatting to me. So long as no-one tries to punch me, I think we'll get along fine tohough ;)

Timmy 2010-01-22 14:24:14

Haha - an internet forum mod?

Nerrrrrrrrrd

Coop 2010-01-22 14:24:14 (Updated 2010-01-22 16:10:48)

Back atcha babe ;)

smeagol1 2010-01-27 21:46:32

Feel free to suck a pigs dick Faggot.

Coop 2010-01-27 21:46:32

lol butthurt

quanmandetil 2010-01-28 05:27:28

Hello Coop83

Coop 2010-01-28 05:27:28

Hello

Dapper 2010-02-02 14:45:50

Are you forum mod or review mod?

...or any other type of mod?:

Coop 2010-02-02 14:45:50

I moderate both the BBS (Forums) and Reviews.

I don't have any other moderator duties yet (Audio, Art, Icons) I don't see that as likely to change soon, in all honesty.

*waits patiently to be demodded*

Thane3 2010-02-03 16:03:03

I understand the 5 day ban, because I'm a dick to people who show no effort, but did you have to delete my reviews?

So... Butthurt... o3o

Coop 2010-02-03 16:03:03

Yes, I had to - they broke the rules. Don't worry, you can always write more reviews in a few days and the great thing is, you can write better ones.

Think of it as a second chance :D

therealanimator 2010-02-04 12:27:04

hi coop83 finally a mod notices a ng commoner :)

Coop 2010-02-04 12:27:04

To quote my inspiration as Bender Bending Rodriguez, I shall respond:

"Hello, peasants!"

gfoxcook 2010-02-07 13:23:45

Yeah, I noticed that Author / Review Mod thing, too, but unlike Bahamut (for once, at least), I decided not to be so anal as to spam your profile about it. HARRRR. #;-}>

I know I said it before, but since you made a fresh profile post to announce it that I hadn't noticed till now... CONGRATS AGAIN ON YER MODDOM.

P.S. I just commented on yer SO's profile's NG rant newspost, which was a BIT old, but your link in this newspost was shiny and orange, so I had to go through. You're always talking about her art on Wi/Ht?, but I'm A) hardly ever on Wi/Ht? ;_; and B) never in the mood to look at art when I see a post from you mentioning hers, alas... Anywho, took a few glances, and saw that post of hers and had to comment. Why am I telling you? So that you can apologise to her for my longwindedness, if necessary. Ba-dum-bum... ching! #;-}>

Coop 2010-02-07 13:23:45

Well, thanks for noticing - it;s been dealt with :P

Thanks for congratulating me, I can't get enough of another ascention to where you've been before ;)

I've told Bex about the comment, she's had a read and I'll get her to comment as soon as she gets a chance

WilhelmTheVampire 2010-02-07 17:11:58

Ya, hi there. Just read your post on the B/P ranks 51+ thread andI noticed you missed an important member of the former #1 B/Per club, MPA. That is all.

Oh and belated congrats on the BBS modship. Hope you make the best of it :P

Coop 2010-02-07 17:11:58

Hi, yeah - I also added an important member to the former #1 B/Per club - gfoxcook :P

He was #1 in Saves, so never actually reached the hallowed #1 B/Per rank ;)

Thanks for the heads up.

Conal 2010-02-08 09:11:05

You have insulted me!

Coop 2010-02-08 09:11:05

By admitting to over 7.5 GB of Pornography on your computer, I rather think you've insulted yourself ;)
