Too much negativity, too much of what you are not. We need more positivity, more of what you are. I liked "lurking and swooping" much better. It has a pithy quality.

Will you be tempted by retroactive banning?

Or a clean slate to start?

Gosh. That all happened a long time ago. And yes, I do remember her name. We've even said hi on Facebook. That's all I am willing to tell you.

Wouldn't you usually answer with none of your business? 🙂

Ah, so only surreptitious banning, eh? Promise free beer; that’ll go down particularly well.

It would not be appropriate for me to comment on current moderators while I am still an ordinary civilian. We should all just wait and see what I'm going to be like
We already know what you’re like. That’s what thumbs are for.

Well even if I did drink which I don't of course. That wouldn't work for me, especially if someone has to buy their way into a power position. 🙂

I don't think a smattering of thumbs "shows" what anyone is "like". A moderator just looks at whether an alerted post contravenes the TOS and not at how many thumbs it has drawn.

You are missing the point entirely fmf. The thumbs are so people like yourself and your pal can not go after those who may have disagreed with you. They'd have to go, for you to be happy! 🙂

EDIT: The alerts wouldn't you just love to have the power to dismiss the ones against any or your pals! 🙂

[1] I am smart and fair-minded and a forum veteran.

[2] I have the best interests of the website at heart.

[3] I will stop posting on the forums aside from word games and sharing music.

[4] I work long hours at a computer so I will often be on call.

Expressions of support will mean more to me than disapproval. But post as you see fit. I am willing to answer any questions in a candid way.
I should clarify that my green thumb is meant to indicate approval of this thread topic, but not necessarily of your (putative) candidacy.
