    When did counsler get the job?

    Did I miss the elections? I swear I saw none.

    So voting in new moderators is out now?

    A&C was getting spammed a lot. I have the time, and the lack of a life, and enough of an interest, to mod it. Plus all those scifi threads kept showing up in A&C and I had to ask everyone to move them.

    I asked Porfiry if I could. He said yes, gave me a badge, and sent me on my way. If you're having a problem with my moderating, please send a PM to me.

    Oh, and moderator elections are out. Permanently.

    Ah. I didn't notice that you are actually the mod of that forum now. That's why you have authority in there then.

    As to moderator elections being out. The reasoning behind it is pretty crappy. Supposedly it's because open government proved itself to be a disaster because of all the ban threads. But what do ban threads have to do with moderator elections?

    No. The real reason is the quality of a certain elected moderator, methinks.
    God. He must have been friggin horrible, huh?
    No wonder he ran off in shame like that.

    So why is open government forum still existing?

    It's obvious that it serves no purpose and that starting polls serves no purpose besides the amusement of porfiry.

    save the bandwidth and shut thissection of the place down.

    Since quite some time.

    Why? It seems that Porf wanted a more realistic model of democracy. I imagine he was fearing more and more that some people on sciforums were losing touch with reality. I think his effort to remind them that there is still a real world out there was rather sympathetic for all us geeks and nerds. And also the dorks.
