Bacon King should probably explain that as he chooses, but it did involve overwrought behavior threatening other posters that seem to have enough premeditation and investigation, so as to not be a mere momentary anger, hot blood situation. I am really not very comfortable getting into the details much, out of consideration of all involved, including Sawx.

There is quite a bit of overwrought behavior in these parts isn't there? Sad  I guess it comes with the demographics.

Why does the decision take so long then? This is obviously grounds for a ban and he even requested it. I mean, you guys banned CountryClassSF, so...

Dave has for whatever reason not noticed the requests to unmod him and implement a ban

I think Nym is waiting for a period of time for Dave to demod, before he makes the final decision to ban. However, if that does not happen, then I assume Nym will just ban, which will have the effect of demodding, no?  In other words, Nym cannot demod, but he can ban, which has the effect of demodding, just as his temp ban is currently doing, correct?

Sure, send a PM to Morden or whomever, stating your interest, making your case, etc. Others are doing it, so join the fun. It is not clear to me, that a new mod will be selected at this point, but it is certainly possible. One thing we don't want to do, given the current situation, is pick a new Mod, who then becomes an issue. Do you really want to be a Mod? Noticed what happened to my popularity when I became one?  Tongue  Yes, I know, BK is still loved by everyone, but BK has a gift that most of the rest of us lack. Smiley

Yea, I'm confused on this part? I've read and caught up to everything else, so crazy that's been banned, but the situation called for some action.

The situation is such that at a minimum he needed to be tempbanned until he is demodded by Dave.

I'm starting to think that no one who wants to be a mod should be a mod.  The problem is then, how do you get a suitable candidate to agree to the position if he doesn't want it?  Maybe Dave should abduct whoever he chooses, hold them captive in Tender's basement, and force them to moderate?

Or maybe he should just replace us with hired guns, as suggested at ~3:14 in my Downfall video?:

The new moderator of the gubernatorial/statewide board and congressional board is a junk polling company.

Ah, yes. Siberia.

Probably should happen, but I suppose it doesn't greatly matter if it doesn't: the one is a totally dead board (last post 2012) the other basically is. I dont have mod board access and presumably bbf doesn't either (if he does that might be an issue wrt security though).

Yes, congrats to Brittain33 on foolishly agreeing to join the Stonecutter's Club.  Dave is working on finding more new recruits to fill the other vacancies created by Sawx, BK, and soon Joe Republic.

Yeah, and I said nice things about you as well, actually. The plan is to just pack the place with "our kind." When I went queer, I went all the way, and bought into the "gay agenda" lock, stock and barrel. Tongue

I just suggested to Dave that he archive Town Hall, so that no one can post there (as he's apparently already done to some other ancient boards, like 2004, 2008, and 2012 election boards).  So you may soon be "moderator" of a board that no one has the ability to post in, even if they wanted to.

Also mentioned how big bad fab hasn't posted on the forum since 2013, so whoever Dave picks for "Election and History Games" should probably be added to "Survivor" as well.
