Now, I and BTOG have been discussing if there is such a thing as a nice admin. BTOG claims an admin pr. definition is evil and on his way to become a Sith Lord. I claim there are nice admins, guardians of the peace and counselors to those in need.

BTOG dared me to ask you, if there is such a thing as a nice admin? Remember, the admins probably have the power to see who voted for what!

Question:
Is there such a thing as a nice admin?

Choices:
Yes! Admins are the essence of good and nice! The counselors of the weak! Protectors of innocence and beings of pure good!
Yes, I have met one or two
Yes, I'm sure they are out there
Not sure
No, I do not believe in them
No, admins are evil
No, admins are a torturous pack of vampires, hunting for the blood of the Innocent and eager to sink their fangs into the soft skin of anyone happening to pass by!

It's having to deal with the constant, repetitive, mindless posts , each poster convinced their little post deserves its own special thread, and ignoring a perfectly good thread right next door.
And the equally mindless anger from them, when their precious thread gets locked, and a link provided to a relevant thread...
That's when we take our first steps toward the dark..........

Power corrupts... what can I say?!... Pinkification anyone

I was already an awful bastard before I got this gig, so what does that say about me then?

I could tell you, but you outrank me, and I might get banned...

*runs away*

I am lovely and nice and...um...stuff.

*waits*

There you see! They are nice and stuff

By the power of logic that would say you are an awful bastard, unless you've seen the light since posting that post and realised the wrongs of your way.

*Wonders why BTOG is backing away from him*

The only one I outrank is the forum hamster, and that's only because the original Hammy died and had to be replaced. Tenure issue of sorts.

I am probably not going to ban you.
Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.

_{See what I did there?}

If it's affirmation you're waiting for you've come to the wrong place, mate. We only deal in insults and self-deprecation here.

Seriously? The worst you're all gonna do is use the exact same words I already used? You lot have gone soft - for shame.

You are forgetting I always was and have been the nice one. So innocent and nice, as a matter of fact, that I wouldn't even be able to harm a pink elephant

*Accidentally knocks BTOG out as he is about to protest*

*wakes up with a sore head, a vile temper, and a desire to ban someone*

BTOG: the only outranking there is on these forums is:

Admins with the power of not being moderated (but they can remove it too before banning)
Moderators (global/forum mods) with the power to ban (even within their own ranks and deleting the account removes all mod-powers)
Members - no powers

Simple so if you delete Gorrebears account he isnt your senior... even though calling anyone your senior would be hard. ^^

Evil youngster, mocking my *cough* maturity.

on the settlers forums, as far as I know, the oldest would be Bazza1932......

Are you sure that name's not some sort of elaborate double bluff?

I think the poll should've been about nice mods and not admins as they are less seen closing threads, saying unpleasant things certain people don't like to hear and won't accept and banning people. I am nice as I haven't banned anyone...yet.

Nice hint, right there

Hey Gorre in Pampers, haven't seen you in a long while. 'sup?

All's well I suppose. School's keeping me slightly busier than I'd like it to, and heavy drinking and the occasional bit of sleep fill in the gaps. I'll try to make it onto msn sometime next week, provided my connection's working properly by then. I'm currently hijacking my neighbours' wireless network, but it's far from an ideal situation - keeps dying on me every 10 mins or so.

How 'bout yourself? Any craic?

You sneaky wifi-stealing devil you.

Ooooh well not much for me. Basically your situation, excluding the heavy drinking.

So you still bald?

You just reminded me - yesterday I set up a protected wireless network with a insane WPA2 password of more than 60 characters.
