You could apply that to Funky Fly.

I know he is the man and all, but I can't remember the last time he posted in the wrestling forum. You said that this shouldn't turn out to be a popularity contest, and it's kinda working, LC, probably the best man for the job, is ahead. I'll stop bitching now...:(

How/When have I typed like an idiot?

Granted I haven't been posting as much recently, but I still read the forums alot. And to be fair mate, your a fine one to talk how much time do you spend posting in the wrestling forum?

Dave Youell for Wrestling Mod :y:

The DYC (Dave Youell Campaign) thanks you for your support

Im 100% behind the DYC. Get voting ladies and gentlemen!

But i ask why Mod has been blocked from my title under my name?

hahaha.

That's cos the man (trips) is trying to hold me down :shifty:

Can I be boring and re-iterate for all those out there who're voting this as a popularity contest on who you like the most.............

This is about electing a moderator.
Definition:
One that moderates, as:

1. <LI type=a>One that arbitrates or mediates.
2. One who presides over a meeting, forum, or debate.

A Mod for the wrestling forum would have various duties, and what we are looking for out of this is someone who views the forum on a regular basis, doesn't get involved in petty, stupid arguments, doesn't take others posts personally, and someone who will judge fairly and impartially the merits of each case.

You should be looking at each person on this list and asking yourself the following:
Is this person impartial?
Is this person detached enough to have a good unbiased overview
Is this person courageous enough to take a stand against someone popular?
Is this person sensible enough to moderate a discussion?
Is this person reliable?
Is this person really interested in doing this job?

Those are the questions I asked myself.

Granted I've only been around for a few months, but I'll give you the breakdown of why I voted against each of the candidates.

For any of the candidates reading this, please bear in mind that these are my opinions only, and as you put yourself forward to be nominated, each one of you will have had this done to you by each poster. I've had the bottle to put it down, but I'll deal with the neg rep when it comes in. Anyway, the point I'm making is this:
Don't take these posts as personal criticism. They're purely my opinions, and if you do take them personally, should you be standing for mod in the first place?

#1-wwf-fan: Don't really know too much about him, but seems decent enough as a poster. If I had more familiarity with him, then he would seem to be a fairly good choice, but I don't know enough about him to vote for him at present.

Alienoid06: I like this poster, but again don't know enough about him personally to know if he could be a good mod.

asphyXy: Haven't seen this name too often on the wrestling boards, so would be inclined not to vote for this person. Maybe I should pay more attention?

AssMan: Haven't seen this name too often on the wrestling boards, so would be inclined not to vote for this person. Do recall this poster as being pretty funny, but again don't know enough about this person to vote for him.

Big Vito 22: Fairly good poster in my lowly opinion, but again don't know enough about him.

Corkscrewed: This guy is a great poster. Funny, consistent and has already proven that he can moderate by controlling the Wrestling Scenes from the Hat thread, and the Captions competitions (even if he never gets my caps!). For me Corky would be a good choice for mod, because he seems pretty fair, he puts in a lot of uncredited work and the wrestling forum wouldn't be the same with out him.

Dave Youell: This guy is a solid, but rare poster. Dave was campaigning to become a mod when I first came on this site, and I've never seen him get into a stupid feud. His posts always seem pretty well thought out, and consistent. I also heard he's a parent, so he's aware of responsibility, and he's the only guy I've ever seen promoting TPWW at a wrestling event. Dave got my vote incidentally.

deadlyheaven: I like this poster, but for me he seems more of a casual poster, and I'm not sure he has the detachment to step back from a thread enough to moderate. However, I think he's funny and a good poster. V Entertaining.

deathtrap: Sorry, but your name draws a complete blank with me.

Fryza: Fairly solid poster, but in my lowly opinion, isn't around the wrestling forum enough to moderate well.

Funky Fly: F'n great poster. Wicked sense of humour. Not sure that he wouldn't ban people for a laugh, and perhaps more of a casual forum guy than a wrestling forum guy. However, he probably would make a good mod, as he seems mature enough to be able to do the job. Would be on my vote list.

HeartBreakKid2k: Again, another solid poster, who's around the forum on a pretty regular basis. I don't know enough about this guy yet, but he would be edging onto my vote list.

Kane Knight: I'll probably get flamed to hell for this, but I don't think Kane Knight would make a good mod. I think he's without doubt the best poster on TPWW, and he must pay Trips rent for the amount of time he's here, but I think he's too open to feud to be a fair mod. How long do you think Goldbird would've lasted if KK was a mod? He's now turned out to be an alright poster, but would he have got the chance?
Anyway, I think KK is a hell of a poster, wicked funny, but wouldn't be on my personal list for mod.

Lara Emily: Never seen anyone with so much wrestling media! Unbelievable. Good poster from what I've seen and really knows her wrestling, but I don't think the temperament is there for a mod. Lara strikes me as quite passionate, and I think that a mod should be a little more detached. I still enjoy reading everything she posts though, even if she dis-agrees that the forum should be split.....

Loose Cannon: LC, The Ultimate Randy Orton Mark, one of the all time funniest guys on the boards, with a surprisingly huge depth of knowledge of wrestling. Also seems like a pretty good choice as a mod, but for me he's a really good poster, and being a mod would interfere with that, and as a result the forum would lose out on a lot of LC's entertainment.

MVP: This guy I like. He's a good poster, solid and is around the boards pretty frequently. I would like to know more about him, but haven't yet for some reason. FUnny and solid. Probably on my vote list.

natureboycv: Quite like this guy too. Fairly good poster in my lowly opinion, but again don't know enough about him.

Nowhere Man: Always enjoy reading his posts. FUNNY guy, and his captions are great. Seems to enjoy participating, but seems to be detached enough to be capable as a mod. Would definitely be edging onto my list.

Savior: More a casual forum poster than a wrestling forum poster, and for me not a candidate. Nothing against the guy, but I don't know enough about him either.

Shaggy: Again, haven't seen a lot of this poster around the wrestling forum. In fact, can't recall a post that's been made that has any memory for me, so wouldn't vote for you. Maybe my memory sucks?

The Playa: Again, can't recall much about you, so you're probably more of a casual forum poster. Apologies if I'm wrong, but I don't know enough about you to vote for you.

Tornado: I like this poster - he's funny and pretty sharp. I'm not sure if I would have voted for him as a mod, becauseI don't know too much about him, but his posts seem solid enough. Not sure for the mod qualities though.


And can I finish by saying good luck to all who entered.


*big bluto sits back paitiently and awaits the neg rep demolition to commence*

I voted for Kane Knight. Tough choice between KK or LC but KK just gets my vote.

Man, this is Ironic, me and Tornado are now on level pegging in joint fifth and I voted for him.

Dang

BRITISH POSTER FOR MOD

(p.s thanks for the vote...:y: )

Yeah no probs

I'll just go and shoot myself in the foot ok?

Here....*hands you a gun*

Eliminate the competition, thats my plan.

ok then

See Ya

*shot heard*

*steals Daves votes*
.......:shifty:

No wonder you 2 aren't winning.

why has joey radd got rdd's font?

YES one vote! Oh wait, that was from me.

Where is LC from?

That'll be because I only post in off topic.

I've got about 9600, and been here 3 years

LC is Czech, may as well close the voting and give it to LC

Look at my avatar and that should tell you. Although I am part Czech too :D

Loose Cannon kisses hands and shakes babies. Do you really want a mod like that?
 

Pardon me, but I do believe you are mistaken. I visit the wrestling forum every time I log on. You can go through all 20,000+ of my posts for proof. If anything, I've probably posted more in this particular forum than you. Another thing to keep in mind is that I don't reply to every thread I read. If I did, I'd have triple the posts I do now. I'm not attacking you, I'm just saying... ;)

I would now also like to address the poster known as big_bluto. Thank you for your support and for the kind words in your breakdown of the election. However, one glaring issue sticks out in your analysis of my character. Let the record show that the other Half of Big Balls n Nunchucks, my good friend The Mask, has in fact been made a moderator on several occasions and has raised hells each time (isn't that right, bret har... er, Loose Cannon?). Given that past, one might assume that I would do the same, but we are like Yin and Yang (Jimmy Yang, if you will): We are equal, yet opposite. Therefore, you can rest safely in peace, knowing that I will not ban anyone without a proper reason.

Funky Fly photoshop skills are much better than Tornado's
 

Hello again, I just wanted you all to have a visual reminder to vote for me. Vote Funky Fly

<font color="#ccffcc">

yeah i agree with hero, i'll be open to giving guidence if sought out. also to all the candidates, don't take this too lightly. not as easy as it might seem, especially when you have people questioning and asking you to justify your decisions especially if you strive to be impartial. it also changes the way you look at the boards. at any rate good luck to all.
</font>

Fair Enough, i'll admit I was mistaken.

I agree we need a British poster for mod, becuase im not a fan of retards ruining Raw/Smackdown.

:y:
2 glaring issues stick out - the other one is that I'm an asshole:lol:
Good luck.

Funky Fly represents Intensity, intelligence and lying, cheating and stealing.
 

I'm British born. :wave:

Vote Funky Fly for Wrestling Forum Moderator

Also the moderator, has to like a wrestler that doesn't mess up on the big stage.

Cheap pop at Funky :D

Bret Hart never messed up on stage.

And at leat Ultimo never pulled a Brian Knobbs and got his hair set on fire by walking to close to the pyro.

I was talking about the double slip by Ultimo at Wrestlemania XX.

:lol: :lol: :lol: KK would have banned the shit outta me :$

Honesty isn't the best policy; it's the only one.
 

I would have banned the shit out of you. Sorry, but that avatar makes me want to projectile vomit. :nono:

At least I'm honest about it,. though, eh? :wave:
