New mods

[Nemessis]

No offense or anything I'm all for Auctionjunkie and Paintball monkey but as you can tell they are MIA and we need new mods, same with counterfeit, mc escher and *gasp* Tlplus84. We really need to institute new mods, plus I knew more about cockers than Mc Escher and I didn't even own one while talking to him.

I say new mod's that should be appointed are:

PiranhaPro-Blow Back guns

Krasher- Electro Guns

Can't speak for Pump guns, don't go there

Barrels/paint another I don't go to

Cant speak for the other forum auction junkie mods either

[blake_sw]

Tourney talk usually gets more crap than actual worthwhile posts aswell.

[Magnus55]

I agree with replacing the missing mods. I've been at this site for about two months now and I haven't seen a single post from acton Junkie, Paintball Monkey and counterfit, asside from the times when I get bored and go looking throught the old threads.

[Sid]

Well so far, myself and MuckRaker have been picking up the slack... this will be decided when Andrew gets back..

[Nemessis]

No offense but Richy_C as mod of the electric forum? Are you kidding me he doesn't even have an electro gun he just dreams of the freak factory impulse

[Sid]

Yes yes yes... well no one knows how set in stone any of this is, cause as you know Andrew is in Germany... and Andrew has the final say on everything...

[PiranhaPro]

First off, thanks for the recomendation, at least someone appriciates what I do to try and help the blowback guys(there seems to be an up roar of PiranhaPro haters, I find it quite amusing)

I dont want to let anything out, but Ive been thinking about this since TL had finals (about a month and a half ago) I then, emailed Andrew telling him of the situation, just trying to inform him that some super mods need to visit there more often. He agreed, and theflash and MuckRacker have been doing a great job, but they gotta moderate their own forum, as well as the rest of the board. They've been doing a great job seeing how much work they have. But stuff still goes through, because there's just too many posters for the amount of mods. I did, in fact email Andrew about taking a part time mod spot, just until TL came back(this is when I didnt know he was in Germany) and he did email me back (maybe from a laptop?) And said he would discuss it further when he gets back. After TL was done with finals(I never knew finals took 3 weeks) he came back, maybe posted twice, and mysteriously disapeared again, Ive heard hes on vacation, but I dont know where he is for sure. In other words, hes been to the forums maybe a total of 3 hours in the past month and a half...definately not enough to be an effective mod. I would like to take the spot if Andrew thinks its the right move, if not, I'll just continue to do what I do now, answer questions. I have been trying to help out a bit with telling muck and theflash different posts that need attention, and they have been great to deal with, it truley did impress me.

In other words, I do think we need more mods here, and I do think I would be a good mod in the Blow Back forum. Andrew, if you read this and would like to know more about me, you contact the admins of completepaintball.com and paintballchannel.com for references.

Sorry for the long post, and thanks for everyones time.

[Saiyan_warrior]

PiranhaPro up for mod he could clean up the blowback forum in a instant and also hes pretty cool :)

[Spyder_Kid]

if i can help out in anyway...let me know flash...put me in charge of any forum, andrew would like to stick me with...ive been here for awhile and u can ask piranha nearly all of my posts are topic related and helpful, i also visit the forums two-three times daily

[MuckRaker]

I think TL+ will return soon, though his absence does make me wonder if he's some sort of secret agent on a mission ... As for Auction, I don't think he's MIA, I think he signs on early mornings, around 7 or 8, at least thats when I usually see him. Also, you have to remember, with the exception of Flash and I, the others can only mod in their forums. So, if there's not a lot of action in the Pump or Midwest Forum, there's not really a lot of need for Auction to be on the site constantly.

[DraXsuS]

I CAN TAKE ANY MOD POSITION!!

[PiranhaPro]

I thought this would happen.

I dont think this thread was made to ask for a mod spot...nemesis was suggesting who he thinks would be a good mod, we aren't just popping in here asking for a mod spot, this discussion has been going on for a while.

[Nemessis]

Uhhhh, Thou shalt not ask and be given mod position, Commandment #11

[PiranhaPro]

Well i did, sue me:)

I did it in a more professional manner, given the situation at hand...

Does anyone know when Adrew is expected back?

[Super Nick]

I think I heard the 24th of July. Don't quote me on that though.

[Sid]

Well I think the more important question is: Is there any mods jobs open?....

[Spyder_Kid]

seeing how the blowback forum is the third most popular forum i believe that there should be at least two mods :)...ill take mountain region, international, news, questions/feedback...whatever if i can help out let me know

[Spyder_Kid]

http://www.pbreview.com/fpics/Spyder_Kid070801120440spam.jpg

[PaintballDude]

I would like to know what are the specifications to becoming a mod?

[PiranhaPro]

Looks like this thread is now a "ask for a mod spot and hope i get it"

I know, i did in fact talk to andrew about taking a spot, but guys, asking will get you no where...there really isnt any mods spots open(well, blowback...kinda...maybe, no one knows whats up with TL)

[Omega6_Virus]

I don't know how much info I could add to the Electro forum because I am kinda new to electro's but I can help with the newbies and all. I'd like to be a mod cause I hate spam! I don't want to kinda put myself in, it's just I think we need more mods and I'd be gald to help.

[Spyder_Kid]

my bad...i started this

[Hsuve]

I'm really now sure as to whether TLplus84 is on vacation, busy, or just not coming to the PBR forum anymore... I've seen his screen name come online every now and then, but whenever I come to PBR, I don't see any new posts made by him. If anybody cares, I can IM him the next time he comes online and ask him what's goin' on, as there may be a valid reason as to why he is not available. And as for a new moderator in the blowback forum? I'd say PiranhaPro is a great candidate, he knows his things, and doesn't take crap from people. :)

[Silent Knight]

he doesn't take crap from people is right! but is that always a good thing!? does this mean he'll be flaming people because they ask a question and don't know the answer?? if so that is kinda uncool. It's pointless to do, after all the forums are here to help people, not to make them feel like total idiots. I hate seeing people getting put down just because they don't know the answer to a question. If someone doesn't have the right answer, it seems like every one gangs up on him/her for not knowing it. Piranha Pro seems to know his stuff, maybe he just needs to brush up on his people skills, then he would be perfect.

[Hsuve]

Nah, PiranhaPro is overall a pretty nice guy. Yeah, I have to admit that he doesn't have the best people skills, but just as long as you're not spamming, asking the same questions repeatedly, and such, you'll be just fine. :) The blowback forum is full of people who need help with topics, and I feel that PiranhaPro covers each question as best he can, which is damn good. As for ganging up on people? No, I don't feel that to be true either. If you can give me an example of "ganging up" on somebody, please send me the URL of the thread...

[Super Nick]

Since we can all probably agree that PiranhaPro needs to brush up on his people skills, I think Hsuve would make a good blowback moderator with Piranha to help him out a little bit.

[PiranhaPro]

People skills? Yeah right...

I'll admit, ive been touchy lately, but im sick and tired of seeing:

The SAME thread millions of times
SPAM
Threads in the wrong forum
People asking a question about 10 times
Off topic stuff in tech forums
for sale ads in tech forums

After seeing these every time i come in the forum, your darn right im gonna say something to the people. If you'll read my posts from the past few days (besides one flame, which i stopped posting in) I've been a lot nicer to people. I just want the forum to be cleaned up. There was a quick outburst of a lot of flames, but those have seemed to have stopped.

Honestly, i do not TRY to do what your speaking of, can you please show me where i flamed someone for asking an honest question? Thats right, i havent. We were all newbies once, and i try to help newbies and their questions(as well as veterans and their questions) as much as i can, and if i cant answer it, i'll find someone who can(Hsuve picks up what i miss, and i pick up what he misses 99% of the time, with help from a few other regulars)

Not taking crap from people is almost essential as a mod. You cant be pushed around, but you cant rule like Saddamm either, its a fine line between sticking to the forum rules, and trying to be a king. So far, ive tried sticking to forum rules, with a few minor exceptions, but those were extreme cases.

Again, where is this ganging up? And where do I make people look like idiots for asking questions? i dont make anyone look like idiots, they make THEMSELVES look like idiots, i just mearly point it out in funny ways.

Theres a blast from the past:)

[A damn fool]

If u ask me, i think that there should be 3 mods for the blow back forum. Piranhas, Tippmans, and spyders. There should be a mod for each of the forums, at least thats just my opinion. And besides, Andrew will be updating the forums again soon where the forums will be divided into sup forums(like clicking on the blowback fourm, ull have the option f going into a spyder, tippman, or pirnha sub forum) For now though, everything ie fine. I dont knwo why people are so infatuated with becoming mods, i mean, all it means is u have to clean up the garbage now instead of posting it.

As far as the people who have been asking over and over, i think piranah pro would make a good mod, so would hsuve. Id liek to say one mroe thing, people with 10 posts shouldnt be claiming forums to mod already.

Theres a lot more blowback guns besides those 3, and mods arent really there to answer questions, they are there to keep the forum running smoothly, and if they can answer some stuff along the way thats a bonus.


Sub forums? really? I like the way its setup now, its different from the other places on the net, and i like it a lot better than having a forum for each gun.

[Spyder_Kid]

how come electros has 4 mods, and blowback only has 1 neglectful mod...even though the blowback forum has twice as many posts

[Andrew]

This is Andrew, when I get back from Germany I am going to change the mod lineup a little bit!

[JesterDude15]

Originally posted by Spyder_Kid

Cause the electro has twice as many flames

[PiranhaPro]

Welcome back temporarily Andrew:)

Theres been quite a few flames in blowback lately....i dont know why, it seemed the forum was cleaned up and people were all getting along. Who knows...

[JesterDude15]

It doesnt matter where you go, someone is always going to be flaming someone else for something :rolleyes:

[PiranhaPro]

Every thread is pretty much a flame in there now....

I think i wont respond to any more flames, as most threads im involved in was once a good thread with helpful information is now complete utter crap. Guess i'll have to swallow my pride and let a few guys make themselves look like idiots...i had so much fun making them look dumb...:)


Ah well, its best for the forums, i'll shut my trap from now on.

[JesterDude15]

Dont do that! Its more fun watching you make Hatebreed you B!TCH!!!!!

[pr0kch0p]

hrmmm, maybe if PP becomes mod i can sell him more ideas ;) and become his lacky!

ph33r!

[JesterDude15]

Get the Damn monkey a doctor, I am tired of seeing him twitch every second! ;)

[Incube]

hahah i think me blake joel and a dam fool and hasuve should all be in the running People like us we help as much as we can and we are on alot when we can be!

[PiranhaPro]

Originally posted by JesterDude15

Ive been reading through my old posts, and i was out of line in a bunch of them.

Im letting all the flames die, so if you dont see me respond to one, thats why.

[Incube]

omg is it so man you were like one of the best flamers but whatcha gonna do we all got to start it new again sometime!

[JesterDude15]

Yeah, Pirahna Pro is a good flamer....Well as I, nemessis, and HAtebreed suck at flaming.

[Saiyan_warrior]

Im a flamin virgin :D LoL i dont think i've never flamed or been flamed in my life...

[Incube]

I am ok i try not to brag but i can flame pretty good i guess i ve made peeps leve before! but i havend flamed a soul in likt2 months i as well have stoped!

[PiranhaPro]

Flaming is fun, but the people im involed in the flame fests with like to take it to EVERY thread, so now the whole forum has about 3 good threads. The rest, are total crap, and need to be closed/deleted.

I dont flame many people, theres one that comes to mind (im sure you know who it is) and he just kept taking stuff too far since the day he joined, and i finally snapped.

I am not flaming anymore, it takes the bigger man to stop anyway:) If you see some pointless people screaming at me, and i dont respond, feel free to give them your opinion, but i will not post in those typ of threads anymore.

This, is why i do belive a flames forum would benefit these forums. If you had one forum made for this pointless talk the tech forums would stay just that, tech forums. Every forum i see now has flames, and i think a flame forum would help. That is just my opinion, it isnt my site, so if andrew agrees with it i'll be more than happy to do whatever i can to keep it going/not letting it get out of hand. If he doesnt think it will benefit the forums, oh well. He is the man, he has the final say.

PS, the way i see it, there is no point to braggin about flaming. No matter how good you can bash someone you still look like an idiot for acting childish. I know when all these wars go on both I, and the person im flaming look like 3 year olds, but sometimes you just gotta speak your mind.

[Edited by PiranhaPro on 07-12-2001 at 05:08 PM]

[Incube]

yeah i hate when peeps take it outta the thread

[A damn fool]

Will a falme forum help with flaming in the paintball forums, or will it make the problem worse? I think a flame forum will just make everything worse. People that flame shouldnt be members to this site, after all, it is a paintball site. I think instead of a flame forum, there should be a sort of wargning thing, were if they get warned 3 times for flaming, they can no longer become members to this site. I mean, if all they do is flame, whats the point of having them post on the site? If they need help with paintball, let them veiw the posts as a guest, but this might just be my opinion, bt i dont think we need a forum for the *******s, i think we need to get rid of them.

[Super Nick]

After reading Piranha's post, a flames forum does seem like a pretty good idea. I mean, the tech forums aren't full of anything but flames anymore, so we should move the flames elsewhere. That way we can still have the fun of flames, but we don't have them cluttering up any of the other forums.

[Edited by Super Nick on 07-13-2001 at 01:14 AM]

[Incube]

flame fourm is a bad idea just trust me its a bad idea evryone will just go there to start fights not acully haveing a reason for the fight and evryone will start taking sides and none of the other fourms will be used properly because the flames will be caried out into the other fourms and it will infect evrything and pbreview will burn to death (pun)

[Super Nick]

The point of the flames forum is to get the flames out of the tech forums. That way the tech forums will be used properly, rather than just being full of flames.

[JesterDude15]

Get Pirahna Pro to mod it!

[PiranhaPro]

Incube does have a point....there will always b the "you guys all suck" threads in a flames forum.

Hmm..maybe just flat out deleting any and all flames in the forums? Probably a little more work for the mods, but what else could work?

[JesterDude15]

I say we increase mods and DECREASE flames!

[PiranhaPro]

Sounds good to me:)

[C4pyro]

Look at it this way people...you can give suggestions but not everyone gets to be a mod... so I'm sure the more you people ask and pester andrew to make you a mod, the less chance you have of getting the position. I am not saying its bad to suggest more mods, but don't drive the guy nuts by saying "pick me, pick me, pick me, pick me, etc"....give the guy some space.

[JesterDude15]

I am not asking to be a mod, I am asking for there to just be mods.

That is some of the best sucking up I have heard *shed a tear*.

[C4pyro]

No, not really....my best friend is a mod...you know theflash....and I know how constant pestering pisses me off...so its just a little bit of common sense.

[Incube]

Just incres mods

[A damn fool]

maybe instead of crating a post count, andrew should eliminate the post count so that people dont falem in hope of increasing their ranking. There could still be like ways to give rankings, but no throug post counts, that way people would really know who gives a **** bou the paintball stuff, and who cares bout post counts

[Paint Bulley]

I think blowback should stay the same with just one or two more mods.

Pirahna Pro and Hesuve (sp?) . I wasn't here for long while Counterfit was here but I think Priahna Pro is somewhat like him. He will keep everything really clean, but he might get a little aggresive and yell and flame people.

It is really funny when people insult him though, they say one little thng and he goes off on them and then it keeps going and going untill they give up.

And hesuve is just smart and dosn't spam and yell to much so he could be a counterbalance.

just my thoughts. and why does everyone want to be mod so much?

Future mods should have to anwser hard questions to show they know what they are talking about.

just my 2 cents.

[PiranhaPro]

That is the exact opposite of what i do.

I dont go crazy on people for insulting me, however, i dont let it go(even though i have been more...) i dont start flames, people take my posts wrong, and start them. I just mearly prove them wrong. I havent been in a flame war in a longgggg time.


PS, its spelled Hsuve:)

[DasBaldDog]

Is anyone still reading?
Just my little speel. I (personally) am just as happy as a helpful grunt than as a helpful mod. ANDREW, feel free NOT to give me a mod position. I will remain helpful and I don't need 6 little red balls under my name to do it.

[Edited by DasBaldDog on 07-27-2001 at 02:22 AM]

[Ded]

yes, me and piranha pro don't get along much of the time, or any of the time for that matter, but i have to admit he knows his stuff and if TL + doesn't come back i think he would be a great replacement. where is TL anyway? I'm for piranhapro in the blowback forum.

[Jordan]

same here im on most of the day - i could always help - dont need to mod but just have access to move threads or something to that effect maybe you could call them Moddy's lol i dont know

[braiden1835]

switch some mods....

[Ded]

HEY YOU'RE BACK WOOOOHOOO!! how was germany?

[Andrew]

Yah, I'm back from germany and it was great!

The mods and I are have started talking about who we think would be good mods, so I don't thinkg this threaed is nessecary anymore...
