Ask the Moderators

[You Kane, You Commanded, You Conquered]

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'd say you could do a pretty damn good job as a mod, with you being one of the most sensible people on this board.

Well, that's extremely nice of you to say, but you'll find that there are a few people who very strongly disagree.  
And before anyone thinks they need to publicly say why I suck, there's not much risk of me being a moderator, so don't worry.

In the interest of egalitarianism I'd support a female mod to replace any departing mod.

[The Cincinnati Kid]

I doubt they're actually looking for another mod, but here are some people who I think would be good mods:  drbeachboy, Emily, rangerover, smilin ed, adamghost and a few others.  

I'd be willing to do it as well.  Not that anyone cares.  

[Smilin Ed H]

RR - fairness and patience are qualities of the ideal candidiate

[JK]

How about Gertie J.? If anyone has this board sussed, it's her.    

[Smilin Ed H]

How about Century Deprived? He/She introduces some pretty cool threads.

[Peadar 'Big Dinner' O'Driscoll]

AGD back as new mod? 

[SMiLE Brian]

OSD?

[Douchepool]

If that happens, I'm gonna call the cops!

[Boan Mahoni]

Is it allowed to post tickets for sale? I bought some BW tickets for the May 17th show in Birmingham but to my immense displeasure I can no longer go, would I be allowed to advertise the StubHub link to the tickets in a thread? I really need to get rid of these tickets, no one else in my town is a big enough Beach Boys fan.
Thanks for any help.

[Gertie J.]

yeah sure

[Theydon Bois]

Seriously.  Imagine becoming a moderator here.  Imagine having a small army of back-seat moderators constantly badgering you to ban X, or reinstate Y, or step into a discussion, or close a thread, or move a thread from one forum to another, or to explain yourself, or do your job differently in any number of ways.  Imagine taking criticism for every act of moderation you make, because it's sure to have upset somebody.  Imagine being pulled to pieces for getting too involved, or for not getting involved enough.  Imagine your every action, either patiently explained in public or conducted discreetly in private, raked over for evidence of agendas, allegiances and biases.  Imagine board members trying to get you removed or replaced if they take against you for whatever reason.  Imagine the constant background hum of unanimous mithering that the board is spiralling into fatal decline and it's definitely your fault for not doing your job properly.

Imagine wanting to sign up for that job.  And then imagine still wanting to listen to the Beach Boys at the end of the day.

Could a mod please delete my account.

Thanks

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

Done.

[leetwall97]

How do I delete my account? Can a mod do it for me?

[Stephen W. Desper]

How do I post a photo from a file in my computer?  ~swd

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

Pretty much just  upload it to an upload site like photobucket and post the url for the file here in between [img] tags.

[bringahorseinhere?]

hey mods, there is a certain fella trying to join this site after asking me at another forum.
his name is Watamushi from Japan.  He is having difficulty in joining the Smiley group.
what can he do or i do to help him become a 'Smiler'.?

[bringahorseinhere?]

yeah i believe he filled everything in per say, but doesn't get any acknowledgement or confirmation back...

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

What is the username he was trying to set up? I didn't see a watamushi.  Have him try again and email me at fear2stop@yahoo.com

[bringahorseinhere?]

thankyou Sir, will pass on the info.  Cheers!

[bringahorseinhere?]

Hello Bugs, this is the response i got from watamushi:

"To answer the mod's question: I did use 'watamushi' as my username. If it's needed, I'll try to register again."

i forwarded on your email as well, so hopefully the fella can get over here and participate.

[bringahorseinhere?]

i shall enquire and see how he gets on.  his contributions here would be great.

[Jay]

I love how you called billy "bugs".
