Yeah. Nothing ironic about it. I was only going by your posts. We need someone who's alert, reads the threads, can see through bullshit, doesn't do the awful Mike/Brian threads and, most importantly, contributes regularly.

My other nomination is drbeachboy.

RR is certainly on the ball. And I do agree about drbeachboy. He's one of a select group of regular posters (not special guests) whom I would describe as the Voice of Reason.  You're another, by the way. And Adam. I'm sure there are others but those names spring immediately to mind...

I'd like to request the removal of Lowbacca from the mod team, as he rarely shows up and isn't much involved with this board. Of course, I'd also ask that someone else fill his space. As for who that "someone else" is, I'd say let the board decide, but you'll do what you will.

I nominate myself. I'm gonna make the board great again. It's gonna be huge.

I think the only difference between me and the other mod candidates is that I’m more honest and my women are more beautiful. I'm also going to build a wall. It's gonna be HUGE!

Frankly, what IQ you got or anybody else is nobody's business. I'm just saying it isn't fair to resign then get back in. Try new people as moderators.

You should be a moderator based on that comment alone.

Yeah, I was trying to see how long I could keep this facade going before someone figured it out. I pity the poor fool who replaces Lowbacca! I spent six years of my life co-moderating these characters; I dare not consider it again! LOL

But I don't really know who this Trump guy is. I know there is some socialite girl with the last name Trump. I didn't check if they relate or not.
He is running for President of the United States of America.

Gotcha. Tbh, I don't watch TV or read newspapers. I'm out of the loop on political arena in other countries except Russia, obviously.

Shouldn't the appointment of a fresh mod be a democratic one? Mods co-opted don't seem to last too long (not all of them… but…)

But then should candidates be proposed, or apply? Either way, it would be a good idea to have them submit a statement - how they'd do the moderating, what their prejudices might be, perhaps religious beliefs, health issues, IQ level, criminal convictions etc - so that the SS members could form an informed opinion before they cast their vote. To avoid any of the daftness that made the recent Labour Party leader contest so interesting here in the UK, only SS members of two years standing or more would be allowed to vote.

I'm intrigued!

I'd gathered from the latest Rules and Guidelines update that Lowbacca is no longer a moderator. However, I haven't seen an indication that they are seeking a new one.

I think that it's pretty clear that what this board needs is a shakeup. Therefore, I nominate Rocky Pamplin as new moderator. Think about it; Rocky as moderator, Trump as President, and some place in New York just created the first edible pizza box. So your pizza comes wrapped in a pizza that you can eat.

Haven't seen anything official either but the workload for Billy and Craig to handle between them must be pretty heavy, and I don't think it's fair to expect two guys to be able to keep track on everything that goes on / goes down here. While things seem to be on something of a better footing (the two trolls seem a lot quieter at the moment) it's still a heavy burden to bear on top of what reL life throws at you too. An additional moderator must be "a good thing", I'd've thought.
