Author Topic: Why I should be a Mod (***NEW FORUM POLICY ON PAGE 5***) Ryan Luby Film Handler Posts: 70 From: Minneapolis, Minnesota Registered: Jun 2004 posted 07-06-2004 03:28 AM                     It's official, the fans are calling. Took them long enough. This is an open discussion of why I (and any others) should be a moderator of this forum. It will be a numerical listing of short and concise reasons so that you do not get lost or confused. If you do not find my initial arguments to be sufficient, I will add more. Again, though, I'm trying to keep this simple for you all. 1. I'm better than you. My presence here is a privilege you should all cherish. 2. I treat my inferiors with respect. Jealously of my greatness may occur. I am understanding of this and am here to help you cope with your inferiority complexes. 3. People say I have an aura of modesty that makes others want to be better people themselves. 4. I'm half Japanese, which means I'm stealthy (which means I can surprise attack you) and also adds to the racial diversity of the moderating team. This automatically makes the team a better, more well-rounded, and happier crew. I'm also from samurai nobility on my grandmother's side, which again comes back to me being better than you. 5. I like pizza. Now it is up to you to let the admins know how much you want me to moderate (and therefore improve) this forum by responding here. With your help we (as in I) shall rise to the top. Being one to share the fame, I urge any of you who feel that they have what it takes to moderate a forum (I've been admin/moderator of forums with over 4000 members..it's more work than it seems) to give their reasons here, as well.  |  IP: Logged Nate Lehrke Master Film Handler Posts: 396 From: Denver, CO Registered: Oct 2002 posted 07-06-2004 04:03 AM                     Ryan, you claim that you’re of Japanese decent. I don’t believe anything you say until you have a member picture. Seems to me that you are trying to hoodwink all the Japanese members here into supporting you. I would want to be a moderator only if I can BAN other moderators. So if that’s the case, here’s my argument. As a self-acclaimed MOD elect, I only have one platform. 1. Ban JOE REDIFER. He has caused nothing but problems. Thank you and enjoy the forums!  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN!

Besides, no new person will be considered and most certainly NOT someone who hasn't had the courtesy to send in a member picture. Members with pictures always get preferential treatment over a member with equal number of (non-annoying/useful/entertaining) posts.  |  IP: Logged Ryan Luby Film Handler Posts: 70 From: Minneapolis, Minnesota Registered: Jun 2004 posted 07-06-2004 12:45 PM                     I did take the time to send in a picture (but you know that already).  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN!

I don't think my goals would be the same if it weren't for Joe. I'd probably give up the pursuit of the career I wanted and be something my parents want me to be. Even though everybody says to just do what you want to do... It just means alot when he's the one saying it.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-06-2004 01:14 PM                        I think the dude was just trying to be funny and to "proclaim his own greatness" better and more entertainingly than Joe does. Unfortunately, he failed in this because only Joe can pull this off with the masterfulness that it requires.  |  IP: Logged Steve Scott Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1300 From: Minneapolis, MN Registered: Sep 2000 posted 07-06-2004 01:46 PM                     quote: Ryan Luby I'm half Japanese, which means I'm stealthy (which means I can surprise attack you) The most powerful martial arts move, if I recall, is the five point palm exploding heart technique... perfected by Pai Mei... who was Chinese We could hire Gordon Liu... thus making point #4 moot!  |  IP: Logged Ryan Luby Film Handler Posts: 70 From: Minneapolis, Minnesota Registered: Jun 2004 posted 07-06-2004 02:22 PM                     Mr Scott, Since when is martial arts comprised of just one single move? Last I heard (not counting the praying mantis from the Karate Kid) martial arts was a combination of several different movements strung together in a fluid and dazzling fashion. I'd also like to see the "five point palm exploding heart technique" defeat myself and my 16th century samurai sword. And the surprise attack bit was more a play on Bill Parcels, Dallas Cowboy coach, who recently took flak for using "Japanese" as a name for his surprise attack, in reference to the Japanese attacking Pearl Harbor. Also, you didn't find a way to "shoot down" my samurai bit, which was also a part of the "mooted" (which is a funny word, I think) #4.  |  IP: Logged David Ingalsbe Film Handler Posts: 31 From: Eagan, MN, USA Registered: May 2004 posted 07-06-2004 03:20 PM                     Steve, I think maybe you and I should go "welcome" ryan in to our little community. test out his stealthness . it's good to see more minasotans on the form. (I know, I know Brad, picture I will send one in.)  |  IP: Logged
