You wouldn't need to be mocked if you realized that applications has been a method used on 667 for ages. Nor would you need to be mocked if you respected others opinions, espicially the ones that don't agree with you; instead, you dismiss them or make fun of the people, for example, the 'whiner' thing. (And what happened to warnings?) Although I never post, I've lurked on this site for probably (atleast) 2 years, so I can say that I've seen a decent amount of what's gone on with this site. But whoa whoa whoa, I realize this is a dictatorship and you don't have to listen to us, but we don't have to agree with you(/like you) all the time,either. */respectfully arguing*

Oh what do you know little miss 6 posts I only say things like whiner because they make fun of me first. Stop making it look like your the victim because your not.

Gah. I cannot tolerate your condescension. And for god's sake stop rolling your eyes; can't you take anyone seriously? Also, that last post was the very first time I "made fun of you." I don't know why you can't understand / don't understand our position. I don't understand why you can't look at her argument, and see its merits, and acknowledge them, instead of dismissing the entire thing as a product of her "whining" and calling her names (which, I note, seems to be a habit of yours).

Detestable Deputy is a job on this forum. In the real world, if a company has a job that need somebody to do, they take applications, do interviews and choose the best candidate. They don't just give the job to the first person who comes in and says "Give me the job." It's not even a popularity contest where they let the other employees vote for the new worker.
So, I think that's why people so dislike this whole process. It goes against what happens in real life and it goes against what has always happened in the past at 667.

POST COUNT DOES NOT JUDGE ONE'S TIME AND KNOWLEDGE OF 667. PEOPLE GET NEW ACCOUNTS, PEOPLE LURK.
The application was brought up because it gave people the oppertunity to make themselves known. Sometimes people forget others when trying to come up with a list on their own. Also, it insures that the people put up for vote are people who actually want the position. A doesn't want to be a g-mod, she said so in the last poll and yet she's in this one again. Applications are just an overall easier and more fair way to come up with nominees.
I voted for Linda.

OK! Thats it! Lets just face the TRUTH here. you all will always complain because nothing ever makes you happy! First you tell me waaah waahhh ADR you need to consult us more and ask for our advice so we can be happy! So OK. I make a poll so YOU can pick the new Deputies. but then NOOOO. waah, waaah ADR you need to do applications this is so unfair! You will NEVER be happy with what I do so I just GIVE UP. OH WAIT! Unless maybe I can make a new poll asking: should we do polls or applications to pick new moderators? And then some of you will complain NO are you crazy? we cant have a poll to decide this, we need to have like some new crazy way of picking like tarot cards! PUHLEASE You all team up on me against me when you post in the website pages but when you write me PMs and emails you act nice just so I will make you a MODERATOR OR SOMETHING you greedy doublecrossing BACKSTABBERS. you pretend to care about tiny things that I do wrong bu you know what the truth is? You just want to have your way like some little babies or something. Your selfcentered and powerhungry. You should be ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES.

I never put down your way of doing this. You just replied to the people who brought up applications so rudely that I decided to explain their thinking to you. I do not appreciate being called a backstabber. Nor do I appreciate being called a little baby, selfcentered, and powerhungry. When people aren't taking well to you, insulting them isn't a very good way to gain their respect.
Tragedy has been our admin forever. Of course getting a random new admin who wasn't very well known isn't going to make everyone happy right away. Because you got this position, you are going to need to prove yourself worthy to the forum. It's not going to be easy, no, and you're probably never going to get everyone's approval, but you're handling this in an immature and very poor way. If you want to do something and you think it's the good and benificial to everyone and the forum, do it. Tell everyone who disagrees to deal with it, but there is no need for personal and judgemental insults.

Oh, WE'RE powerhungry? ?? We're not the dominators here! I tried to be nice to you but you've just taken it too far. You're CHANGING the way 667 works and you expect us to be OKAY with that? 667 MAY be a dictatorship, but dictators and tyrants can be overthrown.

You've been here since 2004! You can't tell me you haven't noticed that things were going fine before you came in here shooting up the normal order of things! People are going to be mad, ESPECIALLY if you persist in relentlessly and unnessecarily insulting them.
Stop using emoticons, too. They don't help your image at all in my eyes at least.

You just want to have your way like some little babies or something. Your selfcentered and powerhungry. You should be ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES. Shut up! You need to shut up and LISTEN to people. In fact, YOU are the one who should be ashamed of yourself. You're acting like a 6-year-old over this issue. If Tragedy was here, he'd listen to us. Things don't always go YOUR way. You can't just take a forum that has been running in a certain way for four years and then make changes left to right and expect everything to be all right and everyone to support you like an army of frickin' robots. Your side of this issue isn't the only side that matters. Also, I am going to tell you to WAKE UP up becuase YOU JUST DON'T GET IT. You are an ADMININSTRATOR, not a DICTATOR! Learn the differnce between the two damn things. Now, about your decisions. You made three moderators rendomly in the first ten days you owned this site. And now you are offering someone position as a staff member. A said he doesn't want to be a staff member, so STOP including him in the polls. That would a sensible thing to do. I agree with Twistedbrain, you ARE changing the whole site. WAY to fast, I might add. And you have removed the whole warning system as you just go ahead a warrant strikes, even if the person did it as a first offense. To quote Gigi: In real life, if you tried to change a company as quickly, randomly, and just downright poorly like you are to this site, people will quit, argue with you, or try to get you out of power. That is something that you have to accept. Grow up. It's time for you to experience real life for a change. Oh, Tragedy why didn't you pick Swans or Derik. WHY?! and I don't want to hear any more complaints about us. We are just trying to be helpful and give you suggestions, but if you don't listen, we get annoyed. Also, I wanted to give you a wake up call. I hope you will actually THINK about what we are telling you because, and I will say this one last time, we are just trying to help you!

OK first of all who in the heck are you? I have done nothing wrong I have only done what I thought was right at time time and then try to defend myself against you BEASTS. Your like animals that rip up whatever fresh meat comes their way. You dont actually want to help me you just want to take advantage of me and get what you want like being a moderator. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. I have made teeny tiny changes but if you will keep making threats to me trust me there will be changes here to be reckened with.

TEENY TINY CHANGES? You've lost it! You're powerhungry, it's either that or mentally unhinged. And now you're THREATENING us? How DARE you! I repeat, how. Dare. You. You think you can threaten us and force us to follow you? You're wrong! Keep it the way it was and everything will be fine! There was nothing wrong with the way it was! Why don't you understand that?! WHY?
