I got a couple votes - thanks but no thanks though.

Xplosys and Nickydude are level headed guys and would do a good job.

EDIT: And for my "dark horse" candidate I nominate "Leaning Objects to the Side". She could just pop into any heated discussion, tell everyone how AWESOME they are, and the world would be right again.

ROFL!

Well, this is a really tough decision. I'd pick Plystire not only because of his awesome mod, but also because he's always on hand to help us scripter's out when we slip up....especially when I was making a script pack for his mod....

Nickydude has created the most amazing, purely quintessential manual on FPSC ever, it is the first stop shop for newbies, and is now officially the best damned tutorial collection ever compiled......

Those're my 2, everyone on this forum has been a great help, not only to me, but to everyone else, but if it were not for these two people, then this forumm would be a much worse place.....

I didn't get picked for mod, but I don't think I really want it....I'm not on often enough.....

Good luck you two, and I hope to see you both with a shiny MOD badge pretty soon....

I don't see Tanya around enough to say for sure if she comes on often enough for the position, but I could be wrong.
She is very nice and does do a great job of putting forth positive feelings in the community.

It's not that I don't like any of the others; but I have it whittled down to, drum roll please:

Plystire and Thraxes

As if I had any real say, anyhoo. Out of all those nominated, I think TGC will make a good decision, whomever they choose. Cheers.

Yes, prepare to be hated. I've seen poor FredP take his share hate posts, you have to give him and the other mods credit for sticking it out.

And since Plystire has created a MOD, he shouldn't himself become a MOD, because that would be just too much MOD for one person to handle.

Lol, Bond. I remember someone asking "What are you known for around here?" And I told them that I was pretty much known for "modding FPSC"... they thought that I meant I had been a moderator.

If both applied to me, then either way you took it, it would have been true!

If I did become a mod, I think that I'd seperate "Modification" and "Moderator" a bit more often.


Quote: "prepare to be hated"


In my eyes, it's not like they can do anything about hating you. Letting someone emotionally get to you on the Internet is just stupid. More often than not, you don't personally know them and they don't personally know you, so most everything they say to personally attack you has no real backing.

Let it slide off your shoulder and do what you know to be right. That's the best you can do in that kind of situation.

@Punk13:

I'm sorry punk (I had to do that), I knew that whittling it down to just two would cause some internal grief. But, I still like you. You're a cool guy.

I did say, "Out of all those nominated, I think TGC will make a good decision, whomever they choose." So any of you guys would be a good mod.

Yes plenty of good choices here.

Just remember, for those who don't get it, take rejection gracefully. I vaguely remember during the first round of MOD picks, there was some kid who thought for sure he was going to be a mod, then we he didn't get it, he totally went nuts - basically called everyone including TGC a homosexual and subsequently got banned. Kinda funny - nothing like burning your bridges.

I'm going to nominate Bond1 and Disturbing13. Having seen them active on this forum for a long while, I can in my opinion, say that they seem the most responsible candidates for for filling a MOD's position. They also have a clear idea of what is right, wrong and fair on these boards.

Just my 2 cents

I don't honestly care if no-one nominated me, as in this frame of time, I must be the most hated, annoying person to most people. Mainly the ones from Moon Rising(Heltor you're ok.lol) But I would still nominate Nickydude and Plystire, both wise people.

I would nominate Seth Black because he really listens to the rules to the best of his ability and is always helping out the newer people. Also he trys to give everyone who he can a contructive criticism even if it's not a good model he says something like, "it's a decent model, but you could do ___, ____, and ____ to improve it."

Higgins

I think that alot of younger people are truly more mature and innocent than older people so they are more careful.

Now that I think about it, I would also nominate Airslide. I don't recall ever seeing him lose his temper on the forums. And when a fight does break out, he always has something innocently funny to say to try and calm people down.

I was just wonder something and this is directed at the TGC and the Mod Team.

Why was thread not duplicated to all forums?

I am a user of both X9 and X10, though I spend most my time in the X10 forums as this is where all my current interest lye.

I am not trying to bash anyone that has been put up for the position just curious as to why Dbpro and other section weren't given the same opportunity to no nominate members of there sections as well.

The only reason I ask is cause I just crossed this thread today and I am sure many others from other sections of the forums have not see it as yet.

Because they are looking for an FPSC Mod probably.

The board is called "FPSC Chat" and not "FPSC X9/Classic Chat"... this is the Chat board for both FPSC's, regardless of not allowing X10 questions. The only reason X9 people hang around here is because they don't HAVE their own chat board. The point still remains that this board is still targetted toward FPSC as a whole and not just one version.

That's the way I see it. I may be wrong, though.

I couldn't say that either FPSC is better than the other. They each have their place and they each have their points that shine over the other.

If I could, I'd own both and use both.

Like I said its not direct at anyone..

But the Mods don't just govern the FPSC board. they govern all sections of the forum. That is the only reason for the question.

I think they are looking for a MOD specifically for the FPSC board, and not the entire forum.

I'm good with Airslide as well. Good choice.

An FPSC Mod is what is on offer. Such a person will come only from within the membership at these FPSC boards. This is and will be for some time the only place where such a person will be sought.

This is the home of where these announcements are made.

I think it's a bad idea to have the regular content creators turned mods. Being a mod takes valuable time away from creating the great content that we love and that would be a far greater loss than having them as a mod here.

As much as you think you're right, but not many of us can just start programming or do whatever they was doing.

I do not want to sound angry, but others need to know how so stript and make models. It seems the Ply, CG, meteorite, a few others, and myself are the only ones that give asistance on the scripting boards. Please, I a not typing this is an angry tone, but more people need to setp up and take charge. Too many people rely on others to provide them sucess. Anyhow, yeah, I purchases FPSC in 2005, but I never joined the forums until now. Good luck, Ply.

Scripting and making models are 2 completely different processes. Modelling is Visual work, scripting is thinking work, like thinking up what it will look like.

Considering that everyone is born with two halves of a brain (those who really aren't, you have my UTMOST apologies and sympathies), and how each half of that brain controls both creative and logical thought processes, I'm gonna say that everyone is more than capable of doing a creative (Media Creation) task as well as a logical (Code Creation) task.

No one is handicapped to another. I know a few people with brain damage from highschool who can sculpt a work of art better than I could ever hope to. If you believe you can do soemthing, then you probably can! I don't believe I can sculpt, so I can't, lol.

If people believed they could learn how to script, how to make a model, how to make game music/sounds, or even how to Mod... then I'm willing to bet that they can.

You know... here's a story about Urlforce that many of you haven't heard. Perhaps it'll give some of you a boost of confidence.

When he first found out that I knew how to program in DBP, he asked me to be on the Lemur team... I actually refused his offer. You know why? Because he had some things in mind that I knew neither myself or him would be up to the task, and I didn't want him promising it to everyone. It took him a while to get rid of the idea, and I eventually joined. During one of his little pockets of "I don't wanna work on Lemur right now" he started working on a Tank game in DBP. I told him it was good practice, and most every game programmer has made one at some point in their time. It wasn't until this point that I really truely realized how inexperienced he was at programming... It wasn't 5 minutes after he "started" working on the game that he came back to me and asked... "How do I make the tank's barrel move?" I mean, considering the work he did on Lemur, this was surprising to me. I asked him how much Math he knew, and he said he knew a fair bit... but apparently he forgot most of it... so there I was teaching him a lot of trigonometry over MSN.

He didn't have what it took to be a programmer, but nonetheless he was able to Mod FPSC... to an extent that everyone around here practically worshipped him.

That's because he believed he could do it, and he DID!


So go find what it is you want to do, and go do it, regardless of your qualifications.
