Welcome, alex7h3pr0gr4m3r galexcd! Congratulations, and good luck pursuing the spammers and helping out the members.

[jlhaslip]

FINALLY!!!
Good luck with your new duties and welcome to the Team...
Spammers beware!

[Ash-Bash]

Finally a new staff member I hope he is active, Though I have never seen his username in post's before O.o Strange.... Anyway good luck with being a moderator I hope you stop them one liners on the forums they are really bugging me.

[The Simpleton]

Just a small observation....all our present mods have posts above 1000 so I think that's the basic qualification now Of course there will be others but I'm guessing in order to be considered that is the minimum post count. I've been reading some old posts and back then if one crossed 100 posts then they could apply for being a moderator! Well those were the early days of the forums. There was someone who was ecstatic of being the first to get 200 posts! I don't see any of the senior members doing anything like that now!

[Tramposch]

Congratulations galexcd, I still liked your old name about a year or two ago, much cooler :-p

I think you will turn out to be a great moderator and good luck!

Good luck with dealing with SM's spam! Hehe

Kel-F, with all do respect there was nothing wrong with the old moderators. They were getting the job done behind the scenes, and I think that the complaining should be at a minimum, considering we hardly have any spam, or rule breakers here on trap17. That means that all the moderators are doing their jobs.

Congrats again Galexcd

All The Best.

[SpiderVV]

Why was I not informed of this drastic decision all moderator considerations should be passed by all staff. Of course, we all know galexcd has it in for me and now he will ban me forever . Or maybe galexcd hack into the forums and made himself mod.

He comes by now and then of course he tries to use is non mod banstick to ban me but now he has an actual banstick "Beware the Ides of March".

That is because he was under a different name and so that is how he became a mod and of course he's been here for a few years as well.

Post count is not a qualification, some people have became mods in less then that. Of course it is the quality of the posts that really help in achieving such a position, but if I remember I correctly I deleted and spammed a lot of his posts. Well the new goal of every member is to beat my post count, but yeah hitting 1000 posts is quite an accomplishment though.

Well demoting those will take several weeks to several months of course bringing it up over and over again might makes us mods begin to frown at those members. Besides I am not old I am older.

It is always good to add someone new to the crew here on Trap17.


But it all seriousness though congrads you earned it, now to see how great you can become after becoming one with the smurfs.

[Watermonkey]

Dear God! Someone says something about SPAM and here comes SM slinging it around the place like monkey spunk at the zoo... wait a minute...

Congrates, Alex....?

Now go delete all SM's spam, er, I mean, posts, er, spam... Whatever you call that stuff...

[chrismiller3404]

New staff members are always appreciated! Work hard, but not too hard. Everything in moderation! Heh... Moderate in Moderation...

Yeah... never seen galexcd on this forum before, though I must say that he must've contibuted alot to this site if this is the case. Anyway, I trust Opaque's judgement and congratulate him for reading our posts on our discussions of getting new moderators and acting swiftly!!! I nearly didn't see this post, you know...

Wow... really? Nice... Yeah. Well, obviously the one hundred posting limit before you a eligible don't really apply anymore. I for one have only been here for a few weeks and already make over two hundred posts, and I don't think I'm in anyway near the ideal moderator, especially on this forum, and I have limited and no understanding of how web sites work and how to build and make them.

One thousand posts are good too, though I don't know if that is right... I mean, lots of members are posting quite a lot in the forums, so it won't be long before another member crosses that benchmark too...

Anyhow...

posts need not be the deciding factor in all the cases so don't get the notion that if you have the highest number of posts on the forum you will be made a mod! It takes a lot more than that - well you've had experience on another forum isn't it? On a forum of this size there are a few more requirements for being chosen....
