one of which I said go ahead and use it in the forum.

Nah. Check back and read your PMs.

I must have killed it but I'll post my own parts of my PMs to you so all can see it's been fully explained.

It's not up to me who is worthy Aussie. I had no hand in the decision. Sure I could quit, that does not mean it will be given to those who nominated themselves. I am now privy to the discussion thread but was not before today. You want me to breach that confidentiality? I won't.

Would you like me not to be GMod? Perhaps X or X that I put forward when they approached me. FD for reasons I can read now, chose for some reason to make me a mod. I didn't nominate myself and I'd be happy not to be and getting these PMs asking me to justify myself and others decisions and I have only excercised my powers in a mistake modification of one of Sprints posts. You have the truth, I've told you how it went down, live with it.

Quote:

If you think I put my name forward when they asked, I assure you I did not. They contacted me at the beginning of last month and asked, I said nah, not really, but I suppose if you get really stuck I'll consider it. I had heard no more until I was not a mod one sec and a mod the next with extra buttons that I have to be extremely careful about.

Either way you want to take it, that's about how it happened.

Is that out in the open enough for you?

Yeas, that is almost enough. You do not want the job....you are aware that others (credible) did......and you are the Bradbury/default position. I'd be handing Teddy back quick smart, as soon as I was made aware of that fact, as you have been. If you truly do not want the job, that is. Why accept a job you do not want, one which puts your enjoyment here under fetter, when there are others who actually want the job. You are accepting you are the bottom of the barrel, yes that is the way it looks to me, and if I were any of the other Nominees who have not been treated as being even in the barrell, I'd be a tad shabby about my Membership here.

They are forgiven for saying....'I'm not good enough, not even worthy than some schmuck who does not want the job.'

My position would be 100% in the opposite direction if you had not posted in open, and sent to me via PM what you did over the last many days.

Over to you, Blue Leader.

Don't put words in my mouth Aussie. Yeas looking after you lot is like herding cats, no-one in their right mind would want to do it. As for the default position, you're not skinning my nose, it's a vote of confidence, one that must have been PMed to the GMods from other users or I would not be a mod. Give it a rest please Aussie and see how things pan out.

No it did not, and you clearly did not carefully read what Big Vic posted.

Give the bloke a fair go.

Clearly I can read and comprehend just fine and I will say what I please. I am happy to give anyone a fair go but I don't see this inaugural post as giving Cods, or anyone else, a fair go and I expect more from a GMod.

Mind your own beeswax for once.

I won't go massively into the process but BigVic has been open and honest about his prior concerns on some posts.
What he did say and has repeated here is that should he have concerns he would put those to us and then action would be taken/ not taken.
That's the whole point of more than one moderator.
I also have full confidence the two guys who join us are sensible, rational guys who will fit in well.

Bias isn't showed as moderators and it won't be from now either.

Both guys will be super additions who I strongly supported through the process.

Is that funny in the same way "ordacity" was funny I wonder? Roll Eyes

No

, I did not accept a job I did not seek or want, and by some sort of weird gymnastics, then somehow try to retain credibility, claim a 'mandate' or 'confidence' and then accept it, and at the same time, kick sand in the face of those who did.

Nah.

Well I guess I'll just have to accept you're a better man than me Gunga Din. Wink

Ask your peers perhaps. I'll just see how things work out.
