Official Wrestling Forum Moderator PRIMARY VOTE
 

READ BEFORE VOTING:

OK, before the actual "election", we are gonna do a primary vote to weed out some people. The top five people who get the most votes will move on to the actual election, and will have a chance to "campaign" for themselves in a thread that I will eventually set up.

Before voting, please remember the following:

<font size=5><B>THIS IS NOT A POPULARITY CONTEST</B></font>

Please vote for the person who you think would be the BEST WRESTLING MODERATOR. By that, I mean a person who you think will be fair and won't hold grudges or delete threads because of personal reasons and shit like that.

Also, vote for the person who is ON HERE THE MOST. If you rarely see some of the names listed here in the wrestling forum, don't bother voting for them.

Nominees, feel free to "campaign" or whatever in this thread IN ONE POST. Don't spam it or overdo it or I will disqualify you.

Also, DO NOT CHEAT WITH THE VOTING.
<b><font color=red>- If you have under 100 posts, do not vote.</b></font>
- I am able to check who voted and will be doing so.
- Cheaters (people who vote with alternate names) will be disqualified.

That's pretty much it. Vote. The poll will close Sunday morning at 10:23 AM, 4 days from now.

Pretty good idea...better than a poll of 15+ people, shame i'll be out in this round...:(

My Campaign would be pretty simple, as a Brit, i'd try to enforce the "No Spoiler" rule to the best of my ability, as I know this can be a sore point for some of us.
Also, I'd delete posts/thread that are complety irrelevant to the discussion, or wrestling.
And finally, I'm on the boards pretty much every day, so i'd be constant....

Just going to post and mention that as an older member, I've seen everything that's happened on these board and know how to deal with them. I know the rules and have respect for them, and I'd make sure they were followed, regardless of how unpopular that could make me. Having experience around the forums is a plus in my mind and that along with my being on a good majority of the day and have respect for all the posters and what they contribute are positive aspects as well. Like Tornado I'd keep up with the No spoiler rule, as well as delete the spam.

Well to be honest the forums work pretty fine the way they are already, there's always a few trolls who will try to rock the boat who need to be dealt with and also the who spoiler thing, but apart from that I can't really see what else my duties would involve. As far as being on the site, I know my post count hasn't increased greatly but I do check the boards at least 4 times a day whilst at work and more at night time and weekends. I've wanted to do this job for ages and I feel I'd be a fair Mod as I don't have any history with any poster on the forum. I know I'm not a stand out guy for any reason, I'm not the smartest, I'm not the funniest, I don't know what the opener of Summerslam 89 was, but I do like wrestling and these boards.

And if that's not enough how about some shameless advertising?

Unlike Dave Youell I do know the opener, Hart Foundation V. Brain Busters. But stating old facts will not get me anywhere. I am on here more then any other person. If any crap thread is made like a milestone topic it will be locked or deleted. Also raw threads will be stickied on time. If I become mod and there is any problem feel free to tell me about it. I will be fair and just so vote for me.
-----------Other facts------------------
I am on here more then corky.
I will no be corrupt like a few of these other canidates
I'll get rid of the topic My convo with LC .

While this forum is usually all right, there are sometimes occassions where a mod is needed, such as when Dark Kane makes his monthly return, or when certain important topics need to be stickied or unstickied. I will also crack down on morons who make moronic posts, ban people who have the spelling capabilities of a one month old shrew, and make sure I win every Caption of the Month.

On second though, scratch that last bit.

Oh yeah, and I'm on here all the time.

I'm supporting Funky's Campaign.

<font color=8307ff><b>Vote for me.</font></b>

Come on man if you don't win Dave Youell could

Dave Youell spelled to as "too" and put an apostrophe in "forums" all in the same sentence.

you got my vote

I think that people under 1000 posts should not be able to vote due to the fact that they are the problem in the first place.

I hope my vote here and the one on the other one dont cross each other out but anyway I voted for LC. I voted for him because since I started being on here every day and figuring things out LC is one of the people who has helped me out. Not saying others havnt but my vote goes to LC. Have A Nice Day :)

Oly crap, LC is KILLING. LCKO's for everyone!

I will vote for Pavel Nedved a.k.a LC.....you know Loose Cannon

No kidding, all the jobbers could unite and form a mutiny

note- Ferocious, c4g2, and anyone who was in jWo should NOT be allowed to vote, for they could form a jobber mutiny as well

Vote KK

Vote LC... (i'll rep you if you do...well if i can rep you)

Vote rigging. LC should be disqualified.

LC = The next Hitler

jk

it was a joke dont get your panties in a bunch

KK = Saddam

Saddam > Hitler

useless bitching, ian should be kicked in the nuts

I was gonna vote for you LC. But then I chose KK. But then again, I don't take this thing seriously. As long as the new mod deletes threads from the entire jWo and is here most of the time, then I could careless.

Vote KK

I thought TheCynick would've made the best mod, but he isn't on the poll. I went with LC, but Kane Knight would be a really good mod too.

You may be right for the most part, but I am sure that there are many idiots that post here with over 1000 posts, and conversely good posters with less than 1000 posts. Everybody has to start somewhere ;)

I don't see you posting here very much anyways, so why are you complaining about it?

Hello

I like Randy Orton.

I admit my spelling and grammar isn't great and i'm sorry.

But I can't help that children!

I was the first "Smartest Wrestling Poster" award winner way back in the 90's. Then I sold out to casual. I realize that, like the girlscouts, I have changed. Plus I'm the #1-wwf-fan. Plus, if elected mod, I will make a move to get the word "Orton" banned so you have to use that < / > this between the T and the O. Unless the people don't want that. I dunno. I'll put it to a vote or something.

Plus, I'll make sure to put warnings with all spoiler topics. I'm also online alot. Ignore the fact that it took me this long to post this. :shifty:

In closing, I've been here 6 years now. I need a taste of the good life. :(

Vote Funky Fly or the da_king gets it.
 

Alright, I'll keep this short and (bitter)sweet.

You all me. I am the nicest guy on the boards most of the time, I get along with just about everyone. You know I'll be fair. If a newbie acts up, he or she gets 3 strikes before recommendation for a temporary ban (unless I have banning ability myself). If it's a troll, it's permaban time.

I'm quite allergic to stupidity, so I'll be keeping the spammers and trolls on a very short leash (or rather a noose). If spoilers are given away in titles, I'll edit them as quickly as I can and post a warning to the offending posters.

I'm on quite often and for good stretches of time (at least 1 hour, but usually more, almost every day). Being a programming student allows me to browse while studyig at the same time, so I'll have the place running smoothly most of the time.

I can't promise that I will be as good Rob Harvey back in the day, but I will try my damndest to be so. Thank you for your time, and have a nice day! :)

Funky Fly for wrestling moderator

Vote Funky. It's the right thing to do.
 

Provided that the intended comedy is actually funny, I will pop a Claritin and put up with it. :y:

Funky Fly for Wrestling Forum Moderator

lol, look at all these jobbers and there speeches. :eek: :eek:

Bah Gawd, things are picking up.

If elected, I will start doing regular jobs for upcoming midcard talent.
 

WOW, tied for 3rd with 4 other guys.

Come one people, this isn't the Presidential election, we actually expect a 100% voter turn out for this one. :mad:

Funky Fly for Wrestling Forum Moderator

I'm Funky Fly, and I approve this post.
 

Luckily for you, this half of Big Balls n Nunchucks doesn't abuse mod powers. :mad:

Funky Fly for Wrestling Forum Moderator

<font color=goldenrod>I may not be the most well-known guy around here, but out of all the boards on these forums, I'm on here the most, and basically I think I could do an good job. Vote for me.</font>

What I have to offer:

I've been here for a good long time.
I'm reliable
I'll cut down on the offtopic BS posts that do not belong.
I won't let my personal distastes get in the way. I well be fair and impartial

Voting against Funky Fly makes baby Jebus cry
 

Let's keep those votes going, people.

Funky Fly For Wrestling Forum Moderator

Loose Cannon has a whip made of nose hairs.
 

Just you wait until I get my photoshop skills up to par. I will put your gay Stewie and well dressed Bender to shame.

Funky Fly for Wrestling Forum Moderator

I conceed. This is depressing.

Either Corkscrewed, Dave Youell, Funky Fly & Loose Cannon 4 MOD

I voted Loose Cannon. Bahgawd Funky Fly i will vote you for adminstrator :p

I vote for Dave Youell. But KK, LC and Funky would make great mods too.

I voted Dave Youell, but there are others there I would have voted for.

Basically, I'm quite ambivalent about who gets it, as long as they can be detached enough to look at a thread/post/argument and judge it not on the content, but on the topic, without being drawn in.

Personally I would have been the perfect mod, but I haven't hit 1000 posts.

The Dave Youell Campaign thanks you for your support

It doesn't really matter as long as they are on all day.

Funky Fly is to Bret Hart as Loose Cannon is to Jimmy Hart
 

Just check the times of my posts in this thread.

Funk Fly for Wrestling Forum Moderator

Vote Tornado - He has no life so he can improve yours.

Dave Youell For Wrestling Forum Moderator

Youell know it's right :y:

Mr. X - More evil than Dr. X says:

Tornado:He has a little thing called style...AJ STYLE!

The Tornado Campaign thanks you for your support...

(P.S....Dave Youell sells drugs to kids...)

I should've voted for the transgender with the penis :nono:

Vote Tornado - The Futurama database

bollocks.

You can be Dave Youell's running mate if you go out.

Anyone who needs persuading to vote Tornado must know that he gives out free links to porn for anyone who votes for him.

The Tornado Campaign

Yeah if I can't do it, The Dave Youell Campaign has my full backing...

Vote Tornado, He's better than most of the other twats.

(this post is in no way sponsored by, or connected to, the Tornado for mod campaign OR the Dave Youell for mod campaign)
(PS. no offence to the other twats intended)
(PPS. I don't think Dave Youell is going to appreciate my help at all)

Vote for Corkscrewed! I don't mind finishing second!

Loose Cannon as moderator is like WCW: pretty good, but doomed to fail
 

I would just like to thank all the fine people who have supported me in my campaign for moderatorship. I may not have a Hardkore UK or an Ian by my side to back me up and make sigs for me, but I think my track record speaks for itself. Vote Funky and I'll be the mod I can be for TPWW. Funky Fly in '04.

Vote Funky Fly for Wrestling Forum Moderator

Question to AAA. Will the person who is eventually chosen as mod for the wresting forum have banning power, etc?


Let me add something to all the candidates. Sure, I and the other mods don't frequent here much. However, we are still mods here. I say this because we ( I hope I speak for everybody) are open to providing input and direction in helping form your modding decision(s). I wouldn't want a new mod to feel overwhelmed or anything. Believe me, things change once you have these "powers".

If elected, I will lower your taxes and crack down on white collar crime
 

If the winner (who will be me) also has banning ability, I will, hopefully with Rob's blessing, make the Ban Daminator feared and respected by all trolls spammers and idiots once more.

Vote Funky Fly for Wrestling Forum Moderator

LOL AT Ban Daminator. Great Times at TPWW right there. And Funky, you see the 23 right? :D

Loose Cannon = The Man.
 

I support my fellow (former?) Team Legend Killer member. :cool:

Voting against Funky Fly is like not breathing: it just ain't right.
 

Good sir, I see your 23 and I am indeed impressed, however, this is merely a pre-election of sorts. When the real action goes down, you can be certain that Camp Funky Fly's flag will be waving in the air when all is said and done.

Vote Funky Fly for Wrestling Forum Moderator

Pretty intense competition.

STFU Ian!

I've gone from second to fifth overnight!

:'(

It's not my fault nobody likes you.

Looks like the chances of a brit getting it a pretty slim now...:'(

That is because...

a) You type like an idiot most of the time.
b) You rarely even post here anymore so what makes you think you should be a mod?

SERIOUSLY FOLKS.

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
