Hmm. Just noticed that the WE&P sections have a new moderator. Asguard. Interesting. No election this time around, eh? Was Fetus really such a failure that there are to be no new elections? Moderation is now to be mandated from above?

All hail the holy moderators!!!

Kidding. Kind of.
I do find it somewhat distasteful though.
So much for open government, eh? It now serves no purpose whatsoever then?

Anyway, congratulations, Asguard. I'm sure you won't rock the boat and blurt shit out unpolitically like Fetus always did and I suspect is the real reason why he quit moderating and the forums.
I'm sure you'll do a good job by the criteria for which you were chosen.

Yeehaw. Congrats, Asguard! I wonder why there was no election, but it doesn't matter, I would've voted for ya anyway. I'm sure ya'll do a great job!

I was wondering also about the appearance of a new moderator. I didn't see any announcements...well, nothing obvious to me.

monkey you should have been aware that there was a job in the offering because i belive it was offered to you:p i just happened to be in the right place at the right time because they were wondering who they could offer it to when i came back and had time to do the job so i offered and they were happy with me doing it. Thanks for the suport tho:)

why Fetus left is his story to tell or hide as he sees fit

as for why i there was no election the dave has changed the structure of sciforums back to its old format with the mods runing and dave still as god. Open goverment was deamed to be a failure because of all the ban this and ban that threads so its has gone to something simlar to feedback, ie just threads on proposed changes to the forum structure.

I would just like to say that if anyone has a problem (even with something i do) feel free to PM me and i will happerly look at it. I dont have a problem changing my decisions so please dont take offence if i make a mestake. If im wrong i will correct it.

It was offered to me?

maybe i rembered wronly, i cant seem to find where they said who they offered it to so *shrugs*

That's ok. I wouldn't have wanted to be a moderator of WEP. Too much egos there. I wish you good luck with the job. Somehow i think you might need it at times.

meh, you wolud have made a good mod, since your never there. it wolud be impossible to mod your favourite section in my view

Asguard has been on the forum a long time before you and me. He was even a moderator before.

So much for open government, eh? It now serves no purpose whatsoever then?

That's correct. Just like democracy in the real world - it's all for show.

on what grounds does the site picks up its moderator ??
