An antithesis to most "who should be a mod" threads.
Who do you think, of the above prolific members, is the least likely to ever be a mod? All of whom are unlikely candidates (due mainly to popularity issues - efficiency is not considered a neccessary requisite), but who is least favourite?
My opinion:
Invisible / bono - Ex-spammer, banned repeatedly, unpopular with most current moderators. Chances = 0/10
Vienna95 - Mean, devestating and slightly to the right of Genghis Khan on the political scale. Would probably bring some much-needed discipline to the job, but lacks the popularity of more mainstream members. Chances = 4/10
Mr White - I recognise my own weaknesses. Impulsive and prejudiced, lack the even-handedness to be efficient. Would probably ban people on whims. Chances = 3/10
Moncal - Small fish in a big pond. Relative newbie who seems intent on being a mod. Has been revealed to have indulged in unscrupulous activites to accomplish this goal. As such, he's not got much hope. Chances = 0/10
tis me lord - Lord of the spammers. Chances = 0/10
Tinykates - Popular with the general chatters, but not really mod-material. Chances = 3/10
Iluvatar - Humorous, clever, helpful and generally all-round nice guy. Despite being the oldest active member (aside from d) is always overlooked. Chances = 3/10
Lord Huntroyde - Like Iluvatar: is smart, helpful and efficient. Has never really been considered seriously, though. Is generally pleasant, but has been known to jekyll and hyde-type moments. Chances = 5/10
Padfoot90 - Moncal's crony. No real chances, but would probably be okay at it. 2/10
wiwarin mir - Lack of contact with the outside world would mean constant vigilance, but a relative newbie who has yet to prove himself. Chances = 2/10
And didn't you bugger off? Let me guess: You're back? Now that wasn't at all predictable...
I'm not back, actually...well I am but not for long, I don't really know what I'm doing right now. I asked to be banned but wasn't, so I decided to give out some lovely red gems to people, and then was enticed into making a sarcastic comment, and it went downhill from there.
Acaila
TK is back?
Indeed, and talking about mini skirts.
Mr White again
She is less of a newbie. Her spamming was spread over a longer time frame than your's.
But my spam was better, not meaning quantity wise.
white, the pms you and vienna were sending to each otehr * goes back to the logs * omg hilarious " he'll be our main target, we'll take out him then her "
you are so power hungry its just lame.......... and the funny thing is it isn't even a chat room its just a discussion message board.......... its hardly " live "

*sigh* Idiots should be banned from owning computers.
I'd forgotten about that! {huggles Whitey very tighty so he can't run off again and deprive us of our daily dose of vitriol}
I don't think I've ever actually retired from a forum. I just get bored and post less and less and less til I never really visit anymore.
My policy is that I'm a regular member for a couple of months, then, to prolong the long-term enjoyment of the website, I take a couple of months off. Being the attention-seeking rapscallion that I am, its always fun to make a big deal of the 'leaving and returning' part, just for the fun of it.

Ah right I can understand that. I do often go back to forums that I've stopped visiting for a while. I hope you're not planning on going anywhere soon.
