A Petition

[Jojenga]

See...lately on the cbox, there has been a petition going on about having more main owners. It just so happened that most of the people there mentioned my name when the idea arose. TDF said maybe some time later, but i want to know...

based on what you know about me, would i make a good Main Owner?

so...yeah

Moved to Srs Bsns.
And Jo, I think your glaring weak point is your emotion. I know that Ive been swayed by my own before, but you're a terrible case of it.

While leading and having such a high position, it is good to obviously have emotion, but not to let it govern your choices. Once you overcome your light manner of judgement, I might consider you.

HOW ABOUT ME?!
-shot-
... Jo, I have no Idea If your gonna make a good main owner...
But seriously, You have like 4 main owners already TDF. :l

Of course, and this directly relates to yesterday's conversation.
We still need control, and Im not going to just Main Owner anyone.
And it means I don't want Jo banning/doing things irrationally based on his emotion. ;p
But idunno, I was sick, on meds, and sleepdrunk yesterday.

Actually, as far as I see it HSC seems like the next most likely candidate.

I'd back up the HSC statement, though seeing as he'd probably never use the power, idk if it would ever be needed (he really is the least-likely person I can think of to abuse their power.)

I agree with the emotion statement too. You'd be surprised how tempting it is to ban someone if they get you mad (Something Weirdo needs to learn. Me too *points out when I got mad at Okibi yesterday), or how tempting it is to ban someone else because one of your friends tells you they did something and you have no proof of it (Something Jo needs to learn to understand).

Being an unbiased mod/owner is hard work ^^' And to give people something to think on, how many of you would remain unbiased enough to ban one of your best friends on this site if they ended up doing something really wrong? And how many of you would wait and hear a new member's side of a story when your friend is telling you to ban them? Seeing how a lot of people here talk, I can tell they would just back up their friends and ban the new member without caring much.

Also, being a main owner means you have to take the heat a lot *Points at Jo always saying me and TDF are bad mods for not banning Ray, and points at MBX's ragequit topic that was aimed at me*.

Now I understand.

I do actually agree. If we had a bunch of owners around banning people because they're mad, the community would just go apeshit. That, or we'd have lots of people complaining, and we probably won't solve it.

I suggest a little test. If someone was to show a great deal of emotion that doesn't get overflowed, they should be owner-ed. That's just what I'm saying, TDF/HSC/KRD will probably agree and add more rules, or disagree completely.

[Jojenga]

i've been working on not getting swayed by emotions. and yes, i do agree with the test

[venkayladoll1240]

Hmmm...I haven't been here long enough o notice the moodswings and stuff but Jojenga seems like a good main owner...but perhaps we should think about this? Because if you pick Jojenga, pretty soon everyone will be asking to be a main owner and then the forum will go all crazy and stuff and then well the forum might die and I don't want that to happen. And Jojenga, its okay, lots of people have troubel controlling their emotions, I still do at times, with my anger but lots of people do I understand, bit what about the test? What would be on it and how long would it be? Btw, sorry if this was private, the test thing, I understand if you wanna keep it private. Heh.
But anyways, I have seen HSC's posts and stuff, he as well seems like a good main owner, your right, he doesn't seem like he would break the rules or ban abyone out of anger or hate or anything or dislike...but what if the people fail the test? Or is that even possible?
