That's correct. I was just babbling :) Currently we got enough manpower that it's laid back enough to be a hobby, even with one of us out on sea half the time, others taking their own times off, or just being Belgian.

Or restraining ourselves from accidentally Central Filth all over the board.

I think a "silent" mod would be awesome. Nigel's perfect because of all the stuff Roger stated about the shit she gets for being an outspoken female and she's been here long enough to both know what she's doing and have the respect from other members. I totally trust her to maintain the laissez faire mod practices but also to understand from a woman's perspective what's harmless trolling and what's really crossing the line. I think she'd bring an awesome balance to the discussions you guys have when you're considering punitive measures for jackasses and consult one another for consensus out of desire to be fair: she's quick and she catches things but she's not over-the-top retalitory.

It sorta makes sense. If Nigel wouldn't mind the idea, I really LIKE the idea.

I really, really appreciate your confidence in me, Navkat! If there is ever a need for another mod here, I wouldn't say no.

As soon as we open that sort of thing up to the democratic process, I'll let you know. :lulz:

As it is, we don't need any more admins. And TBH, though I'd be hard-pressed to think of someone I'd personally trust with the position (who isn't already an admin) more than Nigel, I generally try to avoid putting my IRL friends in that position, both to ward off the appearance of cliquishness and to avoid putting someone in the position where they might be torn between IRL friendly loyalties and the demands of the position.

Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"

It never fucking ends.  I've been afraid to look in my email since I got that hippie dance for the earf shit, and my yahoo status bar is actually becoming RUDE.  I boot up the computer, and the damn thing just starts swearing at me and screaming at me to JUST READ THE DAMN EMAILS.  I knew putting the voice mod in was a mistake.

I already have another bizarre fucking PM.  If I get to 10 by the end of next week, I swear to God I'll crap all over myself.  It's still better than not enough, but sometimes it's just TOO MUCH.

I'll preach and I'll jabber and rant to the heathens, Nigel...But don't make me LOOK at them.

I swore I wasn't gonna hate on anything during my vacation.

Good thing I didn't pinky-swear.
