How many mods?

[cjm]

Just curious how many moderators are there? I've seen somewhere it says 6 but then I read the names and I know that can't be all of them since there are others. So how many moderators are there and are there different ranks of you guys?

There is 3 levels:

Junior mods (I am one of those)
Senior mods
And finally there is El General Moderator (Pekka).

So in total 15.

[cjm]

Ah 15 ok now that makes more sense. Thanks for answering tommy.

P.S. those disk are still working, thanks again.

[Bruce Hamilton]

So in total 15.

Talk about Too many cooks spoiling the broth... :lol: :shock:

[lon10c]

15 not including Mr. Pekka?

The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering semite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine province, that they were to become...moderators.

:eek: I'm fairly certain it didn't happen that way... there may have been some valkyries involved though...

[Ronald S. Jr.]

I mean, if I went around saying I was Pekka, just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

[CyberDyneSystems]

"Who so pulleth forth this sword of this stone and Anvil is rightwise Admin borne of all POTN"

So it wasn't just some moistened tart,. Pekka was schooled by Merlin after all.

:rolleyes: See what you started, Stacie? :-)

Poor Stacie, accused - rightfully - of causing a digression.

So let's get back to the original question of "How Many Mods"

I'll propose an answer:
Three, no more, no less. Three shalt be the number of Mods, and the number of the Mods shalt be three. Four Mods shalt not be, neither be thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three Mods. Five Mods is right out. Once the Mods number three, being the third Mod, be reached,

The MODs have ruined this board, as I keep telling them...

Look, I CAME HERE FOR AN ARGUMENT, I'm not going to just stand...!!

Geez, I woke up the other morning with a stabbing pain in my back, soaking wet and........oh never mind:):):):):):):):):):)

So the answer is 7, right?

I think I will blame this on the Lobster-Roll :)

No no no....now let's see. 1..2...5! :-D

[ron chappel]

This is really quite good.

Who knew that there were so many here schooled in the highest form of art? (monty python repeats):D:D:D

[ron chappel]

Oh staciecd, the proper serious answer to how one becomes a mod is- to be asked.
At least i think that's how it happens ,it was certainly the case with me.
Allthough if one wants to be considered to become a mod i don't see any harm in asking:)

[neil_r]

(monty python repeats):D:D:D

'Tis a sad fact, in my case, that they were not repeats, they were the original broadcasts. :cry:

[CyberDyneSystems]

Wow, Neil,. that's like ancient history! :)

[staciecd]

After asking the question of how does one become a mod, I'd hate to hear the answer to can I be a mod one day. I can't walk on water yet, but I have walked on a glacier. Does that count?

Oh come now, CDS. It was the 70's. You were around then! :lol:

If you were dropped on your head as a child, you'd be perfect for the job :lol:

[Ronald S. Jr.]

or if your keyboard has sustained serious injury, or if you're in Cali.

First episode broadcast on the BBC on the 5th October 1969 ........ and I was hooked. (I was almost 14 years old (and still am :rolleyes: ))

So have I, perhaps that's why I was asked? :D

(I lived with what became one after I left...)

Hey - fun thread, people!

[Belmondo]

In my case, I had to pass the foggy mirror test to become a moderator.

They held a mirror under my nose and it fogged up. They figured I was alive so I got the job.

Monty Python? Here is my favorite skit, if we be discussing Monty.

From the Holy Grail at the Bridge.
Bridgekeeper: Stop. Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see.
Sir Lancelot: Ask me the questions, bridgekeeper. I am not afraid.
Bridgekeeper: What... is your name?
Sir Lancelot: My name is Sir Lancelot of Camelot.
Bridgekeeper: What... is your quest?
Sir Lancelot: To seek the Holy Grail.
Bridgekeeper: What... is your favourite colour?
Sir Lancelot: Blue.
Bridgekeeper: Go on. Off you go.
Sir Lancelot: Oh, thank you. Thank you very much.
Sir Robin: That's easy.
Bridgekeeper: Stop. Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see.
Sir Robin: Ask me the questions, bridgekeeper. I'm not afraid.
Bridgekeeper: What... is your name?
Sir Robin: Sir Robin of Camelot.
Bridgekeeper: What... is your quest?
Sir Robin: To seek the Holy Grail.
Bridgekeeper: What... is the capital of Assyria?
[pause]
Sir Robin: I don't know that.
[he is thrown over the edge into the volcano]
Sir Robin: Auuuuuuuugh.
Bridgekeeper: Stop. What... is your name?
Galahad: Sir Galahad of Camelot.
Bridgekeeper: What... is your quest?
Galahad: I seek the Grail.
Bridgekeeper: What... is your favourite colour?
Galahad: Blue. No, yel...
[he is also thrown over the edge]
Galahad: auuuuuuuugh.
Bridgekeeper: Hee hee heh. Stop. What... is your name?
King Arthur: It is 'Arthur', King of the Britons.
Bridgekeeper: What... is your quest?
King Arthur: To seek the Holy Grail.
Bridgekeeper: What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?
King Arthur: What do you mean? An African or European swallow?
Bridgekeeper: Huh? I... I don't know that.
[he is thrown over]
Bridgekeeper: Auuuuuuuugh.
Sir Bedevere: How do know so much about swallows?
King Arthur: Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

Ron,
Nobody ever expects the Spannish Inqusition! :)

I didn't want to be a photographer....I wanted to be...a LUMBERJACK! Ah, yes- leaping from tree to tr- hold on...did you see that? Someone just went past that window..downwards! :eek:

Gotta love the brits sense of humor. Yeah so its offspring nations (USA & Canada) have funny but Monty Python and Mr Bean? Pfft how can we compete with that!

You guys don't ... you all just repeat it :p

Humour country of the world over here matey ;)

Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.


Besides, the number of Mods should not be three, everyone who is anyone knows that the ultimate answer to this question is 42.

The question should now be - "How do you stop being a mod?"

I beleive there are only 3 true ways to non-modness:

1. Death
2. Alien abduction
3. A really good note from your mum.
