Proposal for a subforum rename

steelsailor18 said:on some random subforum?

Look, it’s pretty straightforward. You play by the rules, keep your digital house in order, write clearly and thoughtfully, and don't go looking for a fight. Think of it like applying for a management role at a firm like Goldman Sachs—you show up polished, you're reliable, and you don't cause drama. Eventually, the moderators take notice. When the time comes to appoint new mods, they’ll put your name forward, the admin team will give it a quick once-over, and just like that, you're in.

And so 🙂

Alright, alright, fine

slywolf45 said:So basically, you play nice, keep your nails manicured, write clearly and intelligently, look sharp, stay out of the drama, and wear a decent cologne... and that’s how the mods notice you. When they need new moderators, they put your name forward, the admins give it a quick nod, and boom—you're in.

And just like that, 🙂

Yeah, sure. And I suppose the admins have hidden cameras everywhere, watching every single user's every move.
What are they even looking at? How tidy your desk is? What size monitor you've got or what kind of high-end rig you're running? 😁

I'm telling you, it's all about who you know. It's all just connections. 😍

rapidrider3 said:Yeah, exactly. I’m fairly certain the admins have hidden cameras tucked away somewhere just to monitor every single move we make on this forum. It wouldn't surprise me one bit.
I honestly don't understand what people are obsessing over when they look at a setup. They spend all this time nitpicking the cable management on a desk, debating whether someone’s monitor is 24 or 27 inches, or acting like there's some kind of holy grail regarding PC specs and hardware. It’s a bit much, isn't it? As if having a specific GPU or a certain brand of mechanical keyboard somehow dictates the quality of the person sitting in the chair. It's all just gear.? 😁

Yes.
And then we have the moderators with their obsessive-compulsive tendencies. Honestly, at this point, it’s become a legitimate hiring advantage—it really has.☕

It took me quite some time to finally grasp the underlying strategy employed by the moderators here. They systematically hand out bans to forum members—often over the most trivial, insignificant nonsense
—as a way to ensure they remain utterly irreplaceable. By creating this vacuum, they cement their own permanence. This specific moderator handle is essentially passed down through generations, which inevitably leads to confusion. To illustrate my point, let me present a clear example of how this manifests: this and this

There you have it... this particular username has been hijacked by several different individuals over the years... ☕
(For those of you struggling to spot the discrepancy, we are talking about a difference spanning decades)

🤣🤣🤣🤣

slywolf45 said:Yeah.
And then you’ve got mods who basically have OCD. Honestly, at this point, it’s practically a job requirement for hiring, isn't it?☕

Great, and I have Skype! Does that count as an edge when applying to be a mod?
What about being a global moderator? Could I pull a role like that too? 🙄

A moderator is basically what happens when an Admin and a regular user have a kid. Something like that. ☺

rapidrider3 said:Yeah, right, because the admins definitely have hidden cameras spying on every single user on this forum.
What are they even looking for? How clean your desk is? What size monitor you’re rocking or what kind of PC build you've got? 😁

Look, I'm telling you, it's all about who you know. 😍

I don't have any special connection to vaj, yet somehow I became a moderator. 😍
And it's not like I'm tight with the other mods, super mods, admins, or whatever other "gods" run this place. 🤷

I'm not even some veteran user, which anyone can see just by looking at my registration date and post count... it's not all about being an old-timer, there's more to it than that. 😁

Basically, once that subforum hits a crisis, they tap you to fix everything. Then, as soon as the dust settles, they ban you and swipe all your posts.🤣

ironpuma78 said:Look, I don't have anything to do with vaj, and I didn't become a moderator because of them. 😍
And for the record, I’m not tight with any of the other mods, the super mods, the admins, or those other self-appointed deities running this place either. 🤷

I’m not even some seasoned veteran here—my registration date and post count tell the whole story. It’s not all just luck or who you know... sometimes things happen for reasons you wouldn't expect. 😁

You're the exception. They had to pick someone "outside" the circle to fill the spot.🤣

Now watch how this plays out. I’d bet my life that pretty soon, every single moderator on this board is going to start making excuses. It'll be the same old song and dance: "It wasn't me...", "Not me...", "I'm just this...", "I have no connection to...", "I'm really not that close to..." 🤣🤣🤣

Mark Ruiz66 said:so once the subforum hits a crisis, they pick you to fix the mess, and then as soon as things are running smooth, they just ban you and strip your posts🤣

👍 Yeah... and then they hand your fat moderator paycheck over to someone with better connections🤣

rapidrider3 said:You're the exception. But they had to pick someone "outsider" .🤣

Now get ready for the fallout. I bet all the mods here will start popping up soon with their pathetic excuses—"It wasn't me," "I didn't do anything," "I have nothing to do with this..." 🤣🤣 🤣

Yeah, I was just used as a distraction... that's what every government does. 😛
They just pick some random person from the public to keep the peasants quiet, making them think the American Dream is actually within reach for everyone. 😬

ironpuma78 said:Yeah, I was just part of the smoke and mirrors... that's just how every government operates. 😛
They pick someone from the working class every once in a while just to keep the masses quiet, making them believe that the American Dream is actually within reach for everyone. 😬

Exactly. You actually made me laugh there. The American Dream? Give me a break. 😁

You’re really playing the teacher's pet with the current mods, aren't you? You nod along to everything they say without ever actually questioning their logic. Honestly, the more you suck up to them, the better your chances!

Anonymous said:You’re doing quite the dance with the current moderators, aren't you? Always nodding along to everything they say without ever once questioning their logic. I suppose the more you suck up, the better your chances!

☕

Personally, ironpuma78 is my favorite😍

🤣🤣🤣

You apply for the job, and then you’ll see the announcement popping up in The New York Times every other day—just a mad dash to the local newsstand.

slywolf45 said:And don't forget we've got mods with major OCD tendencies. Honestly, it’s become a hiring perk lately.☕

Organized Crime Division. ☕

It starts happening where you suddenly find yourself with all this extra time on your hands, and before you know it, you’re stuck lurking on the forum constantly.

wiredcyclist said:It looks like you’re starting to have more free time on your hands, so you can just hang out on the forum all day long.

Well, that is just plain wrong!!! I'm lurking here constantly and yet, nothing happens. No one even notices. 🤷
My entire data plan is being eaten up by this forum. And man, oh man, talk about a love affair.
