...And, .... if elected, I promise to email each and every poster here that has been reticent or to shy, to post, a Jamaican spliff.

re: If I were asked to moderate I would lift all the bans on this thread apart from the long-standing bans from several years ago which pre-date my involvement in this board.

Then I definitely don't want you to moderate the thread.

re: Moderation will be liberal...

Then I absolutely definitely most assuredly don't want you to moderate the thread. :)

As controversial as it has been, the actions Rink has taken have improved the thread IMHO. Lifting the bans would allow all the worst offenders back in to stir things up. That makes no sense.

Besides, isn't one thread enough for you to moderate? Not to mention that it already employs your philosophy of moderation... why duplicate?

Don't take this personally, but I have to wonder about the sanity of any person that would volunteer to take on the role of moderator. Kind of like the job of referee or umpire. Special kind of individual.

Regards,

JJ

Rupert,

I'm going to wait for 7 days (till April 19th) for other candidates and then put it up for a vote.

I have noone on ignore. Has been this way for years too. I read the AMD/INTC board you moderate every other day or so and can see all your posts there. I even copied four or so of them over the past few weeks mentioning you as source. So I'm pretty sure you can PM me the same way as everyone else.

Regards,

Rink
