The 2021 Moderator Search (WHO CAN IT BE NOW?)

[Theopolis Q. Hossenffer]

Perhaps Freeones needs to do what business are being told here when they cannot find help. Raise the salary. Two dates with your favorite Model/Pornstar a month instead of one.

Two dates with your favorite Model/Pornstar a month instead of one.

By saying "dates with" would it be safe to assume that translates to "going bareback"?

Fine by me.

Also, a little peace offering... a human sacrifice.

D.T.A.

That looks like Steve slapping me around.

That would be one way. The other way is keep wages low and call workers lazy for not accepting the wages. I see that one more frequently. You get the jackasses and fucking clowns that way.

I still believe the reason no one is signing up is because most of the members are avoiding the Talk section due to past "trolling".

I thought about changing my signature to a message/link: If you want to become a mod, click here, but I decided not to. I'll let the admins sort this one out.

I believe it is time to end the truce and bring back trolling. Fire away and let the admins sort it out.

Go lay down

Some things need not be said.

Not to be anymore of an old fogey than absolutely necessary i have to say that back in ancient times when I joined Freeones(after lurking for a few years) I remember the talk section very lively with a lot of participation. Not much nastiness as I remember. Got crappy later about 10 years ago(and membership dropped off) and I stayed away till recently.(some probably wish I had lost the key)

When "that" began years ago, FreeOnes had close to 90,000 active members. I don't know how many there are now, but when we stopped using vBulletin, it was less than 10,000 active.

I was against that experiment from the start because of what happened in the early 2000's. I was a member of a forum called General Mayhem. It had over 1 million active members when the admins decided to allow any and all trolling/flaming. In a span of 18 months, the active member base went from well over 1 million to about 800. Not long after, they took that board down.

Same thing seemed to happen at Strangeland. Our only rule was don't be rude to the chicks, and a couple of basic things, like spammers and shit, but it got to be chaotic to the point we just put up a battle thread, so people could just go nuts in there, and quit screwing up the rest of the board. But it was already to late.

FreeOnes went from one extreme in the early days where perma-bans were dished out for relatively minor infractions, to what surmounted to a hands-off approach except in the most heinous of circumstances. Maybe find a happy medium, where the true dip shits are permanently jettisoned but reasonable people who might fuck up occasionally have an opportunity to correct their bad behavior? Outright trolls and antagonists have no motivation to self-correct if there aren't any consequences.

Well spoken, Xfire. I'd love to hit the like button for you, but there isn't one. At least not for me.

Spoken like a good moderator. You passed the test. The job is yours.

I thought Diablo was the new mod. I like that choice but since X just stepped forward and volunteered I think he’d be a fine choice too.

 

[Theopolis Q. Hossenffer]

Bring back The Draft! xfire for Moderator

 

[Little Red Wagon Repairman]

Looks like it’s 3-0 with X not being allowed to vote yay or nay. It’s officially official I guess. Bring out the Congratulatory Sheet, throw it over the winner, and take him away.

Winner! Winner! We won’t eat you for dinner!

How did the last mod search go? Was it this long or entertaining?
