I wish I were a mod...

Stuff like this irritates the crap out of me! It would be so easy just to step in, fix the link, and make everyones life a little easier when they view the thread. I absolutely cannot stand to read a thread in which I have to keep scrolling the screen to finish each line.

I would rule like the old romans: Start a poll with a name, and a tumbs up/down option.
If only there was a way to implement hungry lions on a forum... ;D

Well I would eliminate those who point out the mis-types of their rulers first.

I know he is alive at least. ;) He said he was having some issues in real life, and it must be serious if he has almost went 2 weeks without logging in. That has got to be some kind of record or something.

I wouldn't trust Shardian to be a moderator, but mainly because he said, "I wish I were a mod . . ."   ;D

Anybody who campaigns for power will abuse it.

I have Chad locked in my basement.   I was tired of him knowing everything.   I am trying to get him to teach ME everything.
