View Full Version : Election: Co-moderator in World Events and Politics
Porfiry 01-31-04, 06:01 PM This is a poll to elect a new co-moderator in World Events and Politics who will serve alongside goofyfish in those two forums.
The nominations were held here:
http://www.sciforums.com/showthread.php?t=32563
certified psycho 01-31-04, 06:11 PM i want to knpowwhen the voting ends?
Hopefully before a quorum
CounslerCoffee 01-31-04, 06:33 PM Why you should vote for me (Three Reasons):
1. I have the experience (Time + Already a mod = Experience).
2. I am non-bias in this area of sciforums. I do not care if you’re a republican, I do not care if you’re a liberal, I don’t care about Islam-a-phobia, etc. Your opinion is what matters; I only want to keep the spam down and the trolls out. I want to enhance the quality of this website.
3. I only want to enrich the sciforums experience; I do not want to make this forum 1984ish.
My political party in this matter shouldn’t matter! I am far left on some things, and far right on other things. What matters is that I’m available 20 hours a day and willing to do this.
Diligent and Fair: Vote for Coffee
I have a question. Is it possible for me to create a bunch of sockpuppets and vote for the same person?
Porfiry 01-31-04, 06:47 PM I believe I set the poll to close in 5 days.
Quorum doesn't matter in this case (since I'm the one who started the proposal). Whoever is on top after 5 days is in.
Charles (Wet1) has told me there is one person who has about 50 ID's. Can the person vote 50 times?
Undecided 01-31-04, 06:53 PM If you fresh moderation you know who to vote for, if you want to have your voice heard you know who to vote for, if you want real leadership not just talk you know who to vote for, if you want there to be a higher quality of debate you know who to vote for. If you, like me are sick and tired of leniency, apathy, and making sci forums look like a joke, then I suggest you vote for me. If you want the same slide down hill, then vote someone else. I will not be arbitrary as I suspect some of these nominees will be, and I will allow there to be some debate as to how to further improve the forum. The power is with you, not only to elect but to change the face of WE&P.
“Sci-spam is coming to an end, vote undecided”
certified psycho 01-31-04, 06:56 PM I will do great thing if i am voted. Also this is supporting me :D http://www.biblehelp.org/uncle%20sam.jpg
15ofthe19 01-31-04, 06:56 PM Dave, is it too late to apply for Sciforums matching funds? Apparently I didn't spend enough on advertising.
Rumor has it that wes was taking soft-money contributions from a SIG that was started by his wife. I'm going to do some investigating. ;)
%BlueSoulRobot% 01-31-04, 07:00 PM Hey!
Been dragged back here to vote for mod, though my decision will be highly biased, since I have not been in here in donkey's years. *grins* But anyhow.. may the best entity win. :)
Undecided 01-31-04, 07:02 PM 1. I have the experience (Time + Already a mod = Experience).

We know what that means, do you want more Dennis Miller threads? I surely don't, I am a disinterested party, and I have been able to look at situations from both perspectives. I don't think you want political novices at the healm, we need strong new leadership.
Vote Undecided
ElectricFetus 01-31-04, 07:57 PM Thank you forum god for multi-choice voting, thank you, I love you! http://www.theologyweb.com/forum/images/smilies/kiss.gif
sargentlard 01-31-04, 10:22 PM Those who know me or have seen me around the forum know how I swing.
Those who do not well
1) I am not prone to abusive or assertive behavior.
2) I am not prone to rash judgement.
3) I give every poster a fair hearing no matter how many times that topic has been brought up.
4) I am against censorship and abuse at the same time.
5) I am here..a lot
Otherwise your vote may go whereever your wish. Counsler has already got this but Heck..I have to try.
P.S Free donuts for all.
CounslerCoffee 01-31-04, 10:25 PM Free donuts, Sarge? I've been promising vodka and chocolate. Good luck to you too. :)
sargentlard 01-31-04, 10:32 PM Free donuts, Sarge? I've been promising vodka and chocolate. Good luck to you too. :)
Unlike you I do not promote underage drinking.....I only help it along secretly for monetary gains.
Shame on you Coffee.
CounslerCoffee 01-31-04, 10:33 PM I'm 21 next week! I'm not underage!
Shame on you for bribing people to vote for you in the first place! Free donuts indeed... What, did all the cops vote for you? :)
Vote for me. Who care's if I'm not on the list, don't want the job, and would suck at it anyway. Use the write-in ballet for once in your life.
I'll give you free donuts and beer. Although underage females will only get the beer.
sargentlard 01-31-04, 10:41 PM Cops and kids with Add....MUHAHAHAH EVIL PLAN NO?
15ofthe19 01-31-04, 10:43 PM Two people voted for me? Hell, I didn't even vote for me. This must be a sign of the Apocalypse. :confused:
CounslerCoffee 01-31-04, 10:48 PM Now Persol has got a plan! Underage females (But not to young) indeed.
*When you say underaged, I think 18 to 20.
Undecided 01-31-04, 10:48 PM Vote for me to stop sci-spam, plain and simple. I will not be easy going on posters who are prone to sci-spam, and I will enforce the ethos that is dictated by the sci community, voting for the same ole ppl who have shown their ineptitude, they are the reason we are having these problems in the first place. Einstein did say, doing the same thing twice and expecting a different result is a true sign of idiocy. You be the judge...
Dapthar 01-31-04, 10:52 PM I'm 21 next week!
High point of your life I bet. Be proud. (For those who cannot tell, that was a use of sarcasm.)
Well, I voted for Sarge and Wesmorris. Wes since I think he would make a pretty good mod, and Sarge because I think he'll commit suicide if he loses two moderator elections in a row. (A joke. Really.)
CounslerCoffee 01-31-04, 10:53 PM He's talking about me, incase you guys didn't know that. But what I keep telling Undecided is that I don't have control over WE&P, only the scifi section (So really, saying that voting for me is going to cause the same problem, is a load of bull).
Also, under Undecided's rule this conversation wouldn't be taking place. Babies would be locked up, flowers would be cut down, and everyone would be unhappy.
sargentlard 01-31-04, 11:02 PM Vote for me to stop sci-spam, plain and simple. I will not be easy going on posters who are prone to sci-spam, and I will enforce the ethos that is dictated by the sci community, voting for the same ole ppl who have shown their ineptitude, they are the reason we are having these problems in the first place. Einstein did say, doing the same thing twice and expecting a different result is a true sign of idiocy. You be the judge...
I disagree. I think one of the best things the mods do at Sciforums is that they intervene as little as possible. What you call sci-spam maybe only a problem for you but I think the mods here realize that socialization is inevitable, even at a site like this. That eventually even intellectuals like to take part in jest and non-subject related conversation. I have seen the mods only intervene when it gets too far but completely deleting every single post that is off subject is anal and prude and is a great turnoff because even for serious posters such moderation can be overly done and make the site dry.
Good luck to you and if you do win then I suggest less zealous behavior. Bad behavior can not be changed through strict moderation, infact you will only incite threads and flame war towards you in SOG and Site feedback.
A close and keen eye along with courteous behavior is far more effective than right out deletion and I know because Wet1 showed me this through an example.....lets just say I was a useless shit (Like I have risen to the ranks :) ) when I first joined and believed this place to be a chat room.
Yes, and Coffee would be chained to a stone with a poisonous snake spitting venom above his head :p
So it's between a guy who posts pictures of 2 guys kissing, and a 21 year old woman.
One seems intent locking down the forum, the other is fine unless you mention bananas.
It's up to you.
Personally, I find the insertion of large picture into a thread very annoying, and undecided has a bad habit of doing this.
Undecided 01-31-04, 11:05 PM Under my rule WE&P would become a fertile ground for what it's intended purpose is, that is of conversation about politics. Sorry but you like babies that shit all the time, and have the flowers that you are allergic to be there residing and eating away at the respectability that it should have then go ahead, waste your vote. If you want the pussy willow moderation that this site is used to then go ahead. But if you want real change and if you want there to be someone there to actually care about what you have to say, as long as it is relevant. Then vote for undecided, democracy is inept and it's showing its colours as of this moment. Freedom of cognitively is at stake, others may want to appease the ignorant babies and even feed them, but I will not.
And yes you are part of the problem, look at sci fi, even to your own admission the place is dead, is that what you want WE&P to be as well?
Undecided 01-31-04, 11:06 PM So it's between a guy who posts pictures of 2 guys kissing,
I see you don't understand the political importance of that picture, do you even know who is in the picture?
CounslerCoffee 01-31-04, 11:11 PM Persol! I'm 21... But I'm not a woman... And what about bananas?
Undecided:
This place is fun. It's suppose to be fun, this is recreation. Breath. It's like being in the park engaged in a debate; you make jokes, get serious, argue, and then make more jokes. If you plan on editing these things out... Then it is obvious that you are not here for the right reasons. Sciforums is suppose to be fun, not depressing and gray (Even though the GUI is).
Persol, I seriously I ain't a woman... And what about bananas?
So it's between a guy who posts pictures of 2 guys kissing,
I see you don't understand the political importance of that picture, do you even know who is in the picture?From looking at the picture, no... not a clue. Looking at the name of the file it becomes fairly obvious.
But that's the point. That picture doesn't actually serve any function to advance discussion, and doesn't really help this situation as I'm sure the majority of people have no clue who Brezhnev is. As such, the only reason I can imagine that you inserted it was for an emotional response.
My 'emotional response' to that picture was to vote for somebody who didn't need to resort to such negative propaganda.
Persol, I seriously I ain't a woman... And what about bananas?Hehe... you could have fooled me...
bananas - A while ago was a thread titled 'porfiry'. You seemed to have 'issues' with the word banana. I don't imagine this being a hot topic in WE&P though.
CounslerCoffee 01-31-04, 11:17 PM Oh yeah, I remember. I told you that you couldn't say banana in the Scifi section, or the word green, or the number seven... Stuff like that. Hehe. Thanks for reminding me. Good times were had in that thread.
I wish I had boobs. :(
Undecided 01-31-04, 11:20 PM From looking at the picture, no... not a clue. Looking at the name of the file it becomes fairly obvious.
Well I think it should arouse something in that brain of yours. Brezhnev (being the past lack of moderation), and Honecker being the old guard, in an embrace, of master and servant. If it wasn't for Gorbachev the embrace would last forever, we need reform now. Get it now?
That picture doesn't actually serve any function to advance discussion, and doesn't really help this situation as I'm sure the majority of people have no clue who Brezhnev is.
It does serve a function to those who have the faintest idea of what the history and politics is behind it, which has obviously escaped you.
As such, the only reason I can imagine that you inserted it was for an emotional response.
No rather I inserted it for a reflective minute response, for people to think. Not for people to waste my time alas now.
My 'emotional response' to that picture was to vote for somebody who didn't need to resort to such negative propaganda.
It is nothing more then a reflective picture of the past being re-lived in the present. The truth hurts...
Undecided 01-31-04, 11:23 PM Undecided:

When you log into sci, on the main page what does it say? JOKE TOWN? No rather it says intelligent community, is it intelligent to maintain the status quo? Not according to Einstein and me, it is painfully obvious to me that you are not taking the problems in WE&P seriously, and this post proves all my others points, apathy, and ignorance. I am not calling you ignorant, but I think you are in terms of the seriousness of the decline of cognitive thought in that part of the forum.
CounslerCoffee 01-31-04, 11:29 PM It is nothing more then a reflective picture of the past being re-lived in the present. The truth hurts...
This is getting tired and boring. Let me tell you something, Undecided:
1. I have no control over the WE&P section. If I did then I would have control over it right now and we wouldn't have the need for an election. This means that I cannot do anything about that section, so associating me with being part of the problem is retarded. Do you understand?
2. If you think I'm a problem, that I ain't part of the solution, that I'm going to do a bad job, etc. Come out and say it. Don't avoid it with pictures.
3. If you think that you can edit every post, and close every thread that you consider crap, than you've got one thing coming to you. You take orders from two people if you get this position: GOOFYFISH AND PORFIRY.
4. You cannot make up your own rules, you have to follow the site rules and the rules found in the FAQ, and the registration policy.
5. If you edit every post, I give you a week before you are hounded out of office for censoring people wrongly.
Really Undecided, grow up. This isn't about ruling with an iron fist or editing out what you consider to be crap, this is about having fun and keeping flames down, trolls out, and stopping harassment.
CounslerCoffee 01-31-04, 11:34 PM Also, you think this is joke town? You want a more serious forum? You want serious, boring debate with no flare, find another forum. Like you said in a previous thread, you've been a member on six different forums. Go back to one if you don't like it here.
People around here don't want Stalin-ish mods. They want fun and entertainment.
Undecided 01-31-04, 11:39 PM This is getting tired and boring. Let me tell you something, Undecided:
You know my friend there is a axiom that you should understand, there are some things you can control and some things you can't. Sadly you are trying to control the things you can't and forgetting about the things you can, being your emotions. Is this what posters in WE&P expect when they challenge you? :rolleyes:
1. I have no control over the WE&P section. If I did then I would have control over it right now and we wouldn't have the need for an election. This means that I cannot do anything about that section, so associating me with being part of the problem is retarded. Do you understand?
You are part of the problem with sci, you and your comrades in arms have shown nothing but ineptitude. There are the select good mods, and good posters, but overall the level of debate has dropped to levels that would make your "babies and flowers" cry and dye (respectively). I weep for the future.
2. If you think I'm a problem, that I ain't part of the solution, that I'm going to do a bad job, etc. Come out and say it. Don't avoid it with pictures.
Again, control your emotional outbursts; I'd rather not be spit on thank you. I think you have answered your own question.
3. If you think that you can edit every post, and close every thread that you consider crap, than you've got one thing coming to you. You take orders from two people if you get this position: GOOFYFISH AND PORFIRY.
I have previously accepted this fact, and I have also accepted the fact that I would have to get acquiescence from the two higher ups in the organization, I have no qualms (nor have I expressed) any before.
4. You cannot make up your own rules, you have to follow the site rules and the rules found in the FAQ, and the registration policy.
Read above por favor.
5. If you edit every post, I give you a week before you are hounded out of office for censoring people wrongly.
Did I say I would do that, and don't you think that some posts that add zip to the conversation about politics but are rather attacks should stay? If so, then maintain the status quo, and you’re so called "fun place", if you don't then you are in accordance with me. But you don't understand, nor grasp the severity of the situation, so of course I do not expect a different response but this unnecessary and largely child like emotional burst.
This isn't about ruling with an iron fist or editing out what you consider to be crap, this is about having fun and keeping flames down, trolls out, and stopping harassment
Do you expect that to happen without scaring the children just a little bit? HA!
Undecided 01-31-04, 11:41 PM People around here don't want Stalin-ish mods. They want fun and entertainment.
No one here has said Stalin will come into the picture. People come here to become enlightened and to be intellectuality challenged, not to endure needless flames (which you so aptly call "jokes"), and trolls (the comedians). Illusion is not my best friend...
CounslerCoffee 01-31-04, 11:49 PM Blah to your last post. Anyone is free to challenge me. I do not care. You want to read my post with emotion and anger? You can. For me that post was nice and diplomatic. This is really about the way that you're viewing me. Maybe I didn't aid in enough smilies?
I severly hope that you do not win. Like I said before, if you don't like this forum, leave. It's that simple. And I will admit, you do bring a lot to this forum. But when you start talking deletion and ruling with an iron fist... Oh yeah, and don't forget that you know sciforums so well. Because you've been here sooooo long.
Bananas I say! Bananas!
Lucysnow 01-31-04, 11:53 PM Vodka? Vodka? Why wasn't I offered Vodka?
sargentlard 01-31-04, 11:55 PM Vodka! Vodka! Why wasn't I offered Vodka?
Vote for me and you can have moonshine...and a donut.
airavata 01-31-04, 11:56 PM I voted for sargentlard.
The most level headed person on this forum.
CounslerCoffee 01-31-04, 11:57 PM You want moonshine? I live in Kentucky, I can make it in my bath tub (I Know how)! Moonshine and vodka, and chocolate! Step around and vote for coffee.
Undecided 02-01-04, 12:02 AM Again your apathtic tone has been duly noted thank you, I don't expect anything different in moderation in WE&P.
Anyone is free to challenge me. I do not care.
Oxymoronic isn't it? I mean anyone is free to challenge you (which I did), and you don't care? Yet you insist on replying, just wanted that treasure to get out there.
You want to read my post with emotion and anger? You can.
I am sorry re-read the rant you wrote please, let's explore your tone:
This is getting tired and boring. Let me tell you something, Undecided:
A bit confrontational wouldn’t we say?
so associating me with being part of the problem is retarded. Do you understand?
Again unnecessary confrontation and infantile insults, not only insulting my intelligence but the mentally challenged community.
Come out and say it. Don't avoid it with pictures.
Reminds me of a Dean moment, this is a sign of either insecurity or bad temper.
You take orders from two people if you get this position: GOOFYFISH AND PORFIRY.
Screaming is a obvious effect to the cause of anger.
For me that post was nice and diplomatic.
Lying is not a good why to build credibility.
I severly hope that you do not win.
Ditto, I know that if you do, arbitrary decisions will be made, there will be little involvement with the community, and there will be the same old stagnation that has hit WE&P like a brick.
Like I said before, if you don't like this forum, leave. It's that simple.
I like this forum so much that I am wiling to change it for the better, do you not see this? Obviously not...
But when you start talking deletion and ruling with an iron fist... Oh yeah, and don't forget that you know sciforums so well. Because you've been here sooooo long.
Oh man, you just give me ammo upon ammo upon ammo; your appeal to authority (being here long) is a cognitive surrender if I have ever seen one. Let me use this "time period" logic of yours. Hitler was ruler of Nazi Germany for 12 years, because his competition hasn't they don't have a clue on how to rule...see my point? So please stop making me laugh.
*Note: Because you've been here sooooo long.
Childish sarcasm has also been noted.
CounslerCoffee 02-01-04, 12:07 AM Yeah, but sarcasm is funny. Oh, and don't highlight the parts where I call you a great poster and that 'you really bring something to the community'. Just make me look bad all around, Undecided.
But I do have one comment:
If you don't like it here, and you think it needs to change so much, and you aren't going to be able to change it: leave. It's really easy. Log out and google the word "Forum". You will find a ton of other places to post at. Because all the members here are children, and all the topics here are trash, and the debates are stupid and childish.
If it's really that bad; leave.
15ofthe19 02-01-04, 12:09 AM So comedian's are trolls now? If we can't throw a barb here and there, what's the point? What sort of reality of debate does that represent?
Nico, you have absolutely ZERO to offer in the witty rejoinder department, and while that is sad for you, don't force your lack of humor on the rest of us. Most of us aren't interested in your Soviet style of moderation. The numbers don't lie.
If you want to be a Vulcan, fine. Start your own website.
15ofthe19 02-01-04, 12:10 AM Wow, that was weird Coffee.
What is it they say? Something about great minds... :cool:
Undecided 02-01-04, 12:12 AM Yeah, but sarcasm is funny.
To children yes...I am not a child.
Just make me look bad all around, Undecided.
Don't sob on me, you incriminated yourself with your posts not me, all I did was merely pointed them out, when you were claiming differently. Lying again is not a good way to start.
If you don't like it here, and you think it needs to change so much, and you aren't going to be able to change it: leave.
I see you have paranormal powers, definitively saying that I cannot change anything. Well you probably wouldn't know anyways, I doubt you tried effective moderation before, and since Sci-fi is as you say "mort" then you should be a bit rusty no?
It's really easy. Log out and google the word "Forum". You will find a ton of other places to post at. Because all the members here are children, and all the topics here are trash, and the debates are stupid and childish.
I see the over-generalizations have begun, please point out where I have said all these things? Do you deny there is a problem in WE&P if so then fine, if not then what I suggest you do is look in the mirror and say the rubbish you said to me to yourself, does the body good.
If it's really that bad; leave.
I have a brain, I can make up my own mind thank you.
Lucysnow 02-01-04, 12:12 AM Sarge moonshine and donuts are no replacement for Vodka and chocolate. Remember dear your public are not just a bunch of peasants you know! We have very refined tastes. And that reminds me, which one of you is the commie in the midst? Speak up! No levelling of the populace here! Is there a libetarian in the house? A weak democrat? If you have any religious affiliations the public has a right to know! And what about abortion? I won't vote for a pro-lifer! Where do you men stand?
sargentlard 02-01-04, 12:14 AM I voted for sargentlard.
The most level headed person on this forum.
Thank you, though I see that congratulations must be given to Coffee for victory. You bastard....I am going to put naked pictures of me in Sci-fi now..hear me Coffee.....
CounslerCoffee 02-01-04, 12:17 AM Everytime I post a reply to one of Undecided's posts, I get one more vote. That's interesting.
Lucysnow: Shhhhh. I told you not to talk about that!
CounslerCoffee 02-01-04, 12:18 AM Sarge: If you could PM me those, that would be great. And it isn't over yet. We've still got four days!
Undecided 02-01-04, 12:18 AM sargentlard
Don't count yourself out yet, don't count yourself out yet...hehe...
Undecided 02-01-04, 12:21 AM Everytime I post a reply to one of Undecided's posts, I get one more vote. That's interesting.
Don’t be so happy, because you do then realize that ppl are voting for you merely because you are reacting to the cause of change. They aren't then voting for you, they are voting for anyone but real change bandwagon, I would personally feel like shit... Let me put it like this, you are irrelevant to those votes. Kudos!
CounslerCoffee 02-01-04, 12:21 AM Planning on creating a bunch of alternate accounts and voting for yourself, Undecided? Why look... It's your IP address.:)
Undecided 02-01-04, 12:24 AM Hey it's not really a secret now is it; one is inactive to the best of my knowledge. Again I would feel proud about being a vindictive little turd. For you see such trollish, and flaming actions would be deleted in my forum, why? Because they add nothing, you have just proven you are nothing more then a symptom of the problem not the solution. Thank you... hope you are one happy camper.
Undecided 02-01-04, 12:25 AM Also notice the arbitrary use of mod. Powers which I alluded to before, you want that to be your mod? Also too porf, he has used those powers I would fathom outside the realm of all reasonability, and it was vindictive. I had a thread close because of vindictiveness, I think someone should be punished for abuses powers, and being vindictive.
CounslerCoffee 02-01-04, 12:26 AM You know what you are, Undecided? You're George W Bush. You keep blabing about how bad Iraq is, and how I have the WMD, and how we have to go to war. All the while I have no WMD and there is no reason to go too war.
15ofthe19 02-01-04, 12:28 AM Those of us with webservers can see the IP's and will not be fooled. But I don't doubt that this election will have some questionable voters.
Lucy: I want you to know that I am the biggest fan of women on this forum, and I will definitely keep those laws off your body. ;) Oh, and I am an un-apologetic Libertarian.
Mr. Chips 02-01-04, 12:29 AM Wee, this is kind of interesting. I have essentially no faith in online forums and feel my time spent in them is basically wasted. I kind of hope the most outrageous and unfair moderator wins so I can feel more compelled to go do some living. For what it is worth, me thinks it speaks well of the existing administration to attempt to approach some democratic process to finding moderators. I wish you success but don't expect it.
Undecided 02-01-04, 12:29 AM You know what you are, Undecided?
No but I know what you are, a vindictive little troll, who pretends to be the solution. All the while doing the exact same thing you are supposed to prevent. You obviously lack morals, and any ethos relating to your position. Disgusting I should say.
CounslerCoffee 02-01-04, 12:32 AM Wow, I'm a troll on a forum that I moderate. What's next, I'm a nazi that's a secret agent for America? Wait, that's the plot line for Kurt Vonnegut's Mother Night.
I do have morals, by the way.
Undecided 02-01-04, 12:36 AM I do have morals, by the way.
You are a troll for overt reasons, you where being completely vindictive. Not only have you abused your powers, you have perpetrated the exact same thing that is systematically wrong with WE&P. Can anyone now reasonably expect you to be moderate when you go on this witch hunts? By the childish candor you have shown and the completely disgusting abuse of power you nomination should be canceled, it was well beyond any moral standard.
I do have morals, by the way.
Not by the looks of it Stalin, not by the looks of it.
15ofthe19 02-01-04, 12:37 AM Sadly, Wanderer was not a candidate for this position. According to him, he is superior to everyone, and thusly should be worshipped for his self-proclaimed intellectual superiority and argumentative invincibility. He called me a "dufus, moron, imbecile, idiot". Who am I to argue?
CounslerCoffee 02-01-04, 12:38 AM I have not used the block function since the over haul. Now is a time to use it, I think.
Undecided 02-01-04, 12:39 AM So you continue to dance around the fire eh?
Did you or did you not abuse your powers as a moderator for purely vindicitive reasons?
Undecided 02-01-04, 12:41 AM I have not used the block function since the over haul. Now is a time to use it, I think.
I don't think you should do that anyways, because you (if you somehow allowed to be mod.) would need to mod. my posts. Although it will arbitrary...
CounslerCoffee 02-01-04, 12:44 AM If I need to mod your posts, in my section, I'll hit the "View Post" option.
And no, I didn't use my powers for vindicitive reasons. I want a fair vote. That's not likely to happen if someone creates a bunch of accounts and vote for themself.
CounslerCoffee 02-01-04, 03:13 AM I am diligent and fair, as Fetus put it. I will treat everyone with the respect that they deserve, and give everyone equal opportunities. And I can handle anyone.
I'm here to make the peace, not enforce it.
Lucysnow 02-01-04, 03:39 AM Oh come now 15, stop musing over Wanderer. You are libetarian and pro-choice, now all you have to do is buy a case of vodka and you'll be fine.
spuriousmonkey 02-01-04, 05:21 AM Wesmorris for president!
where do you vote blank :)
spuriousmonkey 02-01-04, 06:20 AM I find the current results slightly disturbing. At least Wesmorris is funny.
But it would indeed have been nice to have the option:
None of the above
But I guess that is how democracy works. They force you to chose something you don't want.
Undecided 02-01-04, 11:54 AM And no, I didn't use my powers for vindicitive reasons. I want a fair vote. That's not likely to happen if someone creates a bunch of accounts and vote for themself.
#1- Can you please prove that the votes were not fair, at the time of posting the attack?
#2- If you can't then the presentation of that was purely vindictive and trollish.
#3- You are obviously intellectually inept, you contradict the same mores and ethos that you are supposed to uphold.
#4- You insist on dancing around the obvious go ahead, but you are the one who posted a personal attack for no verifiable reason, apart from not being able to cognitively reply to what I wrote about you.
What you did was pure and simple a vindictive act, and an OVERT abuse of your moderation powers, not only was it arbitrary it was immature, and you are not 21 mentally let me tell you. So if you win, enjoy winning because you are stagnate vote, and not because people voted for you, they voted for you, on the anti-undecided vote.
sargentlard 02-01-04, 05:14 PM 5 more Coffee and you double me. Boo-yah..two elections lost...bring on the third one baby, I am going for the holy Sciforums trinity.
Now to flood sci-fi with nude pictures of myself.
CounslerCoffee 02-01-04, 05:21 PM So if you win, enjoy winning because you are stagnate vote, and not because people voted for you, they voted for you, on the anti-undecided vote.
Yeah, because everyone voted for me and not for you because I stole your votes (Who am I, Ralph Nader - 2000?) they didn't vote for Sarge, or Wes, or any of the others that have been here longer than you. I stole all your votes.
And as for my "attack" on you, you can go back and reread what I posted. It's an "attack" now, before I was just being vindictive and abusing my powers. Now it's an attack.
Lucysnow 02-01-04, 05:54 PM Undecided maybe it will help if you changed your name. How can anyone trust the convictions of someone who is obviously Undecided? You protest too much sir! Focus on the voters not your opponent.
James R 02-01-04, 05:57 PM I agree with Lucysnow.
You would perhaps do better, Undecided, if your campaign was not entirely negative.
certified psycho 02-01-04, 06:46 PM well from the looks of it CounslerCoffee is gonna win
ElectricFetus 02-01-04, 07:24 PM I think sargentlard is best candidate, CC is already a mod and we need fresh blood here at sciforums new.
15ofthe19 02-01-04, 07:42 PM I wish nico would come back to Sciforums. He would have been a great Mod.
15ofthe19,
Its possible that he's here, and you just don't know it ;)
I wish nico would come back to Sciforums. He would have been a great Mod.
*waltzes in* Wow, that statement almost sounds like you'd pick the "undecided" option if it were available! Do you love me THAT much?
sargentlard 02-01-04, 10:29 PM Come on people, vote for me. Can't hurt to vote for me even if someone else is your choice...multi vote rules.
perhaps you can ask someones alter ego :cool:
(Not referring to myself, if thats what you're thinking. I have only one account
EDIT:: not reffering to you either, sarge..)
sargentlard 02-01-04, 10:39 PM Neither do I, nor do I know anyone who does. If anyone does then log in and vote for moi.
15ofthe19 02-02-04, 12:23 PM I've been toying with the idea of creating a second account, an internet "alter-ego" if you will. Sometimes I just really need to have a good argument, and because I'm so inferior to everyone on here, I need a good, dumbass strawman to beat up on. That way I can win the argument and spend the rest of the day high on my own sense of self-satisfaction. Nobody ever does that around here... :rolleyes:
I need someone to be The Cheat to my Strongbad.
Undecided 02-02-04, 03:15 PM CounslerCoffee
Thank for the cognitive surrender ole chap!
You would perhaps do better, Undecided, if your campaign was not entirely negative.
Well it wasn't at the beginning, but once I seen the numbers go south. I said what the hell I need some fun. I sure had my fun too, but now I know we might have another inadequate and arbitrary mod to deal with...woo-hoo for half-assed democracy! Damn where's Plato when you need him?
certified psycho 02-03-04, 04:03 PM i hope sargent lard wins :)
sargentlard 02-03-04, 06:03 PM i hope sargent lard wins :)
Hah...not happening. This is a definite win for Coffee...congratulations Counsler.
CounslerCoffee 02-03-04, 07:14 PM Sarge, next election, I'll have everybody that voted for me vote for you.
sargentlard 02-03-04, 07:31 PM Sarge, next election, I'll have everybody that voted for me vote for you.
Really...Umm ignore any PM that you get that is labeled "naked pictures of me for defeating me...muhahahaha"..or any such images in sci-fi.
spuriousmonkey 02-04-04, 04:02 AM Sarge, next election, I'll have everybody that voted for me vote for you.
Why don't you just step down from this election then?
wesmorris 02-05-04, 09:49 AM I think coffee is a good moderator and will complement goofy well. I think sarge and myself are also well qualified to be moderators, but since coffee wants it, I defer to him as I would only really want it to keep it out of the hands of those I think are unqualified.
CounslerCoffee 02-05-04, 10:10 AM Thank you, Wes. And good luck to you in any future elections. Same goes to you too, Sarge.
The first thing I'm going to do, when I get my new powers, is post a poll on what everyone thinks the main problems in WE&P are. Then we're going to talk about how to resolve those problems. Also, I'll be leading an inquiry into this whole WMD debacle.
15ofthe19 02-05-04, 01:37 PM Any decent dictator must have a Ministry of Information, or more likely a Ministry of Dis-Information. Can I nominate myself for this post? I promise to use all the compassion of the Stasi in quelling any insurgencies against you Coffee. ;)
I'm suddenly reminded of Pat Buchanan, 15, but in a good way.
On CNN one time, in December, 2000, or perhaps in January, '01, said on Gore's behalf, "Well all I can tell you is that a bunch of Jews in Florida did not vote for me."
I admit, it's one of the funniest and keenest and fairest points I've ever heard him make, but the only link is that the observation is about voting.
Porfiry 02-06-04, 12:20 PM Here's to you, CounslerCoffee.
