It really is a rule that if you ask to be a mod, you can't be one.  Donovan wasn't making that up.

As for the vacancy, Chris Fom and I both stepped up and we're co-modding the Rant Room.

This little incident should be a lesson to you that you seriously need to change your rules for selecting moderators.

Half the moderators here have never touched a compiler or opened up a PC case in their life.   Their idea of a PC is a Dell running XP Home with an entry P4.   

You guys put way too much emphasis on post count and behavior as priorities in moderators.  Granted, behavior matters, but that is still seriously lacking in a lot of the moderators as shown in this instance, and my instance.

And where the hell is my apology? 

Weren't you also one of the ones that flamed me for my comments on the G5?  You probably voted for my temporary banning too.  Well, who's laughing now, eh? 

Are you on drugs? I mean, that just strikes me as completely out of left field.

Wait, are you arguing that we should base our moderator selections on compiler and PC usage? Ironically enough, Jehannum was one of the most pro-pc guys, with a lot of programming experience. Yes, you're criteria seem fantastic.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Experience and knowledge with hardware and software mean nothing at tech forums.

Gee, I wonder why MacAddict is regarded as a joke in the tech community?  A mystery unsolved.

Are you on drugs? 

You guys banned me for the exact same comments that basically came out of Steve Jobs mouth: IBM PowerPC's are inferior. 

I've been saying that PowerPC's were overrated since the G4's came out, and have continually gotten the same smug comments. 

Sad thing is, you guys are just realizing it.

Actually, Steve didnt talk about PPC being inferior, just that they cant keep up with Intel.

it is a far cry from "cant keep up" to "the core technology is inferior"

And habs, if I remember correctly, you were actually banned for being an arrogant, opinionated twit.  Seems that nothing has changed, but welcome back in any case

You remembered wrong.

Hmm... funny, that's the way I remember it too.

*smirks* To tell you the truth this wasn't unexpected... out of all the Mods here, he seemed to be a loose cannon out of all the Mods here...

He was bias in regards to certain members here. He often acted trolly as well and was never a good mod to begin with.

Well the trollish behavior did cause him and I numerous times to actually to butt heads... I still don't know how he was able to become a moderator with how he treated some people.  Guess knowing people helps in that case... but so be it. 

Let things be as they are, in the past, he did something that was just a little bit beyond just a tad bit wrong, and in turn has been banned for it.

Oh, brilliant.

I think we should make gozer the mod of TRR.

This post, too.

Sorry, I'm busy with my own... not to mention that I just got done beating Close Combat: First to Fight... now that was an awesome game...

People take the time to joke about us?

Doesn't that require... oh I don't know... information about us, no matter how misconstrued?
