I apologize, that answer was only directed to jj not the forum. I can definitely say i am more than up to it. as many of you know i was probably one of the most active mods in the past,and hope to show the enthusiasm i had back then again in my work if re-elected

Alright, i agree with Steve. Please explain your answers.

A question for all the contestants: While remaining in the limits of polite conversation, explain how you will be a better mod than the other two?
(I really hope this does not turn ugly, not that I think it would).

Quite frankly I doubt I could do better than the other two, we're probably about equal

No offense, but I also believe that a moderator should know good grammar. I would hate to be moderated by somebody who didn't use proper grammar. In fact, I have never seen one forum where one of the moderator spells incorrectly- intentionally or just because they can't spell.

You have lost my vote, preid1220. That leaves Fang and Mutt. I only voted for Mutt, because I have many experiences with Mutt, and I feel he is fully capable of moderating a small community. He has also tolerated a lot of flaming on past forums, he didn't necessarily overreact, and I feel that he should gain respect from that. Go Mutt!

Mutt you are now bottom on my list of who i want to win. If this is important for you candidates you should happily answer our questions and don't be afraid to write a long post, because now you just come off as lazy. Are we inconveniencing you with this discussion? Perhaps you dont have time to spend on this small forum stuff. Either way its a long climb to the top now mutt.

No need to get mad at me, I'm not lazy, I just don't write fluff to make my posts longer like some people.

Mutt, I agree 100%. So far, your argument has been the only one that has appealed to me. All the rest are 'class president' speeches that I generally dislike. Just my opinion.

I'm not asking for fluff, just more than the bare minimum. As for you chris, I'm sorry mutt asked you to help him win this small competition, if he wanted to win so badly he should have put some more thought into his posts instead of asking you to vote for him.

I never asked Chris for any of that -.- And please stop flaming and accusing me -.-

You wish to tell us that one does not have enough to be a moderator, yet you accuse Mutt of making me vote for him? I honestly voted for Mutt, because he was the best person for the job. Fang is cool, Pried seems alright, but Mutt is the best in my opinion. How dare you accuse me of thinking otherwise?

The worst part? You don't even have proof. You just decide to randomly accuse someone because they aren't a kissup with speeches.

You are saying this all as if you already knew that it happened. Well guess what? It didn't, so calm the hell down.

I'm clearly not gonna win -.-

If by the end of I do not have another vote, I'm dropping out of the election and doing me best to make Preid a mod again.

You never know.

I'm gonna do everything I can to make Mutt not a mod, no offence. You're a spammer, Mutt. You said it yourself.

I may be a spammer, in a general sense that I post a lot, but my posts contribute, and I do take that offensively.

I don't think a self-proclaimed spammer should be a mod.

I repeat, I spam in the general sense of posting alot, not useless stuff. You're going to be a jerk just because I'm active?

I see him post a lot in Fun 'N Games categories... but isn't that what it's meant for? Outside of that category of posting, his posts are quality, contribute, and are well thought-out. The term 'spammer' as Mutt goes across as one who posts a lot in Fun 'N Games.

I think Preid would be a better mod... And I'm obviously not getting votes...

Preid? I could not handle being moderated by someone who does not grasp the simple concept of grammar. I can imaging "d00d dnt dble pst!!!" (exaggeration, but whatever) and I believe all mods should have quality posts with good grammar. Preid does not show me that quality so far.

Whatever...

And I have a suggestion. At the end of tomorrow, remove the person with the lowest amount of votes from the poll. Then have everyone vote again on the remaining two.

Nah, it's fine the way it is.

I do say that someone who had barely 5 posts lacks power. I have never written in suck brainless manners and you obviously only joined to support mutt seeing that your only post is in the election topic, I would go as far to say that you may even be a second account created by ether mutt or another member to provide a free vote and no fears about discouraging other members. I know my grammar may not be the best at times but a good sense of judgment is more important. On a final note I ask that you keep your head down unless you want it to be bitten off.

Did the new vote for Pried come from your event master account, Pried?!?
