That's the idea. I hope a lot of fresh faces and an active group of Globals will reduce the overall workload and help maintain normal posting levels for all. We sometimes go too long between staff infusions which creates burnout and throws the posting / moderating ratio way out of balance. I'd like to see more frequent staff rotations in the future.

Not to be alarmist, but it's something our new staff should be wary of. I post much, much less than used to and would like to. I'm trying to turn that around because my joy for the community comes from being able to help other members through regular posting.

The idea seem to be working; currently there's no reports or stuff for me to work on. I'll surf around and see if I find some bad content around that's not reported yet... but in the meantime I'll try to produce some plain content.

Ummm... before you even think of considering to wonder about pondering over whether or not you may possibly sort of ever become a moderator, I would recommend learning to use full stops

Kind of ironic that you ended that sentence with an emoticon.

Glad to see that. You weren't active in Game Design for a few days after becoming a moderator... had me worried.

btw, I can't reach you by PM -- not sure why. Could you check your settings and make sure nobody is accidentally blocked?

On a more important note, congratulations to the new mods. Especially TV... Why? Cause he's Australian.

And if Dr. House has taught us anything, it's that Aussies are all ridiculously good-looking people...hey, wait. Is that why TV got the mod position?

I've actually blocked you intentionally since a few months. Not sure why


Anyway, I'll temporarily remove the block now and give you a chance to PM me. pun intended

Done! PM block removed.

Quite a few people call me YAL with big letters, thinking that I'm a NAL wannabe.

I personally look forward to discussions like this:

Dude1: "Hey, you."
Dude2: "Yeah?"
Dude1: "Is YAL's avatar blinking or am I getting crazy?"
Dude2: *Goes on staring at YellowAfterLife's headbanging lynx avatar*
Dude2: "No, it just headbangs."
Dude1: <insert hilarious reaction here>

Shame his avatar stays perfectly still now. Maybe he should edit it to blink every once in a while.

You are? Even though your profile says you're from London? Hmm.... Well, you're a global mod, so my point stands

Nah. A picture wouldn't twitch an eye.

[icuurd12b42]

Congrats!

[Nocturne]

I think I found me a new avatar...

[Yal]

It really suits you, too

Well, there's something called moving, hehe.

Some people mistake me as Canadian too, from my time spent in Canada. Now it seems some people are mistaking me as British! But in the end, someone as evil as me could only come from one place...
