Should OT have a Euro mod?

[Ted Striker]

There is a time on here when everybody is asleep and the place goes unmoderrated. Also, we have a very high Euro population here.

Although you will notice one of the owners of the site is based in greece, and some mods in other on topic forums are based in Europe. In terms of putting someone in the right time slot, I'd go for one of the mainlanders, preferably from the German/Austrian/Benelux area.

I would say Provost Harrison and Colon would be good choices, as they represent the younger generation as well.

However, Roland would also be a good choice, because instead of "CASE CLOSED," we'd get something like:

"34% of posters in the thread were banned, as this correlates with the recent Bundesrepublik survey which showed a 5 point increase in GDP during peak winter nights, with a +.04 standard deviation favoring Thursdays, leading to a net bannable atmosphere. This number was adjusted for inflation, of course."

I think I should be the Mod for the Euros. I am on that late anyway and I am senstitive to the needs of the average European poster.

Derek, I’m young, mentally, I’m fairly unscarred, I’d prefer to keep it that way.

[Chris 62]

No, not needed.

Besides, it's more fun to hear the Euros complain how the US dominates the boards, the same way it dominates their everyday lives.

If you did have a Euro-mod, it would have to be Laz, as he is sensitive to the transvestite population.

You are forgetting about MarkG, perhaps?

I hear you man. Being unscarred is the way to go.

pchang,

That's true but I never really see MarkG around here much. I think maybe he'd prefer to have the mods take care of this area so he can do other stuff.

Although what do I know, I've been gone for most of the year.

Chris,

Yeah the complaining is highly entertaining.

Moved to the Apolyton forums where discussions like this belong

[Ted Striker]

How come the rolleyes Ming?

I thought this was more of a OT topic than an Apolyton one.

[Chris 62]

Ming ducks euro mod question

What, no wink smiley Ming?

And you didn't give an opinion.

Since, in this instance, you represent managment, what is your take on it, is a Euro-mod needed in your opinion?

[Ted Striker]

I say we make Ming move to Europe to become the new Off Topic Euro mod.

[SuperSneak]

Yes, you've won an all expense paid trip to.....drumroll.....Bosnia-Herzagovena! There, you'll enjoy fine cuisine and first class accomodations! Huzzah!

I picked "other". I think it would be nice to have the Euros/Aussies/Others represented by one of their own. But it has to be someone from a country with a sense of humor...so that rules out the Germanics and English.

Probably someone from Oz, but, unfortunately, the available candidates would wreak havoc and the one who wouldn't would never do it, as he's working on a remake of "Love Boat".

Laz could be counted on to be fair and aloof...but he would post too much barnyard porn.

[Ming]

The rolleye was for many reasons...
First, this isn't a Democracy, and decisions on mods are made TOTALLY by the admin.
Second, it really is a Apolyton discussion, and not a OTF discussion.
And Third, I hated moving it to the Apolyton Forum, because now all the spammers will add to their post count

Oh... and my opinion. Just by looking at the levels of traffic during the day, it really isn't needed. MarkG is more than able to solve any problems that come up

[Lefty Scaevola]

Yeah, we need a Euro-Mod to use as a scapegoat when the OT gets out of hand.

[KrazyHorse]

Laz is the way to go for Euro-Mod
