Two Magical Fish

Just because you don't think someone deserves a demotion doesn't mean WPM doesn't.

And besides, I can think of one moderator in particular who WPM could demote and would not be entirely wrong in doing so. However, I think he still does his job well enough and is liked by the members, so a demotion is so totally not in order.

While you're right about that, usually if a moderator needs to be reprimanded (or demoted) the forum will start to catch that vibe, if you know what I mean. A demotion out of the blue could be a bit uncalled for in the eyes of the forum despite the sentiments of the admin considering the forum community and administrator(s) are pretty different when it comes to these things.
 
If that were the case it could have to do with a mod being demoted for not being active enough. I wouldn't have any idea who would qualify for that though, seeing how inactive I am these days.
 
I figured out the riddle. Go me. It's a threat:

Two little fish,
Each endowed with magical powers.

Two moderators. We've all figured this out by now.

One accepted all with a warm glow;
Its opposite exerted anger and rage.

The first grew to love;
The second grew to hate.

This is also pretty simple. One moderator treats everyone nicely and all that stuff, and the other... not so much.

Magic is given to those who are accepting of everyone;
Magic is given to those who positively impact the most with what they are birthed.

This is pretty much "be nice and courteous, not a noob, contribute to discussion, etc," you know, your standard "perfect member" fare, and chances are if there ever comes a time that a moderator spot opens, you'll be considered.

It's an old folktale. If one remains unfaithful, it turns to bubbles.

Here's the threat. Continue to screw up (remains unfaithful), and you get demoted (turns to bubbles).

If lives are changed, its life is payment for the magic of others.

If the moderator is demoted (lives are changed), another one will be chosen (previous moderator's "life" (modship) is payment for the magic (modship) of others).
 
If that interpretation is true then Bacon, AKA, Scampy's words from the chatroom could be true:

I think it's just another way of telling the mods to work harder. ;/

Could be. ;p So perhaps it does not describe the current status of two "little fish" but rather, as Bacon put it, another way of telling them to "work harder". I like that theory, PMJ. I'm going to endorse it. :O
 
You mean... no fish? :(

Seriously, we don't have any mods that have been screwing up that badly, do we?
 
Anyway, for those of you that hope to see one of us demoted so that you can fill our spots...

The moderating job isn't what you think it is. It isn't simply going around and saying "dude read the rules" and so you're above the law and you are the kings of this forum. I am not going to quote Spiderman's "with great power comes great responsibilty" or whatever they said in that thing, because there's no great power in having some extra stars and a username with a different colour. All you do is just help to enforce the rules, and the standards are very high. There are a good number of members on this forum that follow the rules and have received not a single warning at all, but just cannot make it to become a moderator.

PMJ's theory looks right, but I don't see any wrongdoings from any mod recently. As for things from the past, I have the worst record :> but that was quite some time ago. However, yesterday in the chat, WPM called me a borderline mod. ._.
 
I know that. I want to be a mod because n00bs are everywhere and I want to help get things back in order.
 
protip: Saying you want to be a mod, for whatever reason, is a really good way to not get picked.

Ever.

Just throwing that out there.

I want to be a mod.

Mmf, I thought I said this somewhere in the Newbie Guide or something.
 
Actually, correction about me. I won't lose my job as ~Roxasora~ just lost his job and got perma-banned for ripping, and we are in no spot to rid of another Trade Council member.

Sorry if this is spam, but I guess my luck is just terrible. :( I sent $13 to him, and got ripped off, along with $13 more to DVT, and again got ripped off!
 
I'd rather not be a mod. =/ There are people that need to be put on my ignore list once and a while..

I see a promotion and a demotion
Click to expand...

Yeah, DFB is right. Someone's getting demoted (Roxasora is my guess) and someone is getting promoted, probably to his TC job.
 
Well, if what PMJ said was true I'd have to take a guess at me or Houndoom to be a Mod considering PMJ's big rant about me being the big not nice person.
 
I'm a nice person, I guess I could be in the running if both are promotions like NN said (second post)
 
I cannot wait to see what will happen but i am thinking a promotion and a demotion. And i really like that poem.

I was totally joking in that.

Or, maybe a new Moderator might spring up, but kick a Super Mod out
Click to expand...

Really, I can't see any mods getting kicked out.
They do a great job running this place, so there's no need to get rid of any of them.
I think that most likely, it will be a trade council member like other people are saying. It just seems more likely than a mod getting demoted.

For the new position, my guess is either a new mod, or a new TC to replace Roxasora. Not sure who would be a mod though, but Lietenant Houndoom seems likely-ish. < Improper grammar. :O

Well this should be interesting to say the least. I'm going to kick back and see what happens. :)
