Moderators

[TosaInu]

Hello,

Gregoshi is going to moderate The Monastery (history forum).

Papewaio is the new moderator in the EH.

[octavian]

aww http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/mecry.gif we shall miss you greg http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/mecry.gif
Good Luck managing all those rabid historians http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Papewaio]

So say goodbye to the nice cop http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif

Okay a couple of rules on my watch.

Have fun, but not at someone elses expense.

No direct insults to a person.

No sly insults, it maybe that you indirectly insult someone. Try and reassure that person it was not an insult.

Post as if you are going to be a future moderator.

Debate the idea not the person.

An apology has to be sincere. Do not go out and immediately repeat bad behaviour that you have just apologised for. That will get you a carding faster then most behaviour.

----

Ways to exemplary behaviour.

Treat everyone like fellow heroes of literature. Add honourifics... for instance Sir, Lord, Lady, -san, -sama. The last two date back from the days this board was Shogun oriented (pun intended). For instance Kukri-san is a mild honorific while TK-sama is a higher one. Get into the habit here of being polite and you will find the whole site a lot more enjoyable.

Act with integrity. Integrity... do as you say, say as you do.

Post information not just smilies.

Good luck with your new job, Papewaio, as well as to you, Gegoshi http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-thumbsup.gif

I'm bad http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-grin.gif Note that only moderators can do such bad jokes.

I wish you the best Papewaio Sama You will need it when R:TW comes out http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/medievalcheers.gif

And a well deserved retirement for Gregoshi Sama

[frogbeastegg]

Good luck both of you. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif

Papewaio you have the keys to the waving smiley cupboard? Remember that they can get a little excited when you open the door to get one out, so take your org issue cattleprod for protection http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-whip.gif

Gregoshi, you just had to find some way out of updating the 'new? read this' thread, didn't you? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/geishawink.gif

[The_Emperor]

Best of Luck Papewaio-sama of the EH http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif

Gregoshi-Sama, enjoy the excitement of us historical nutcases in the Monaestary http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/bigthumb.gif

Good luck to you both,

Gregoshi and Papewaio http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/ceasaryes.gif

[Gregoshi]

Thanks all. I already feel more learned reading the threads in the Monastery. I've this incredible urge to take up pipe smoking, sit by the fireplace in my slippers and smoking jacket and read The Twelve Caesars. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-book2.gif

Having Pape as an Entrance Hall mod is a step up for the forum. He intelligent, witty, worldly and knows the TW games better than I could ever hope - he can actually help new patrons. Plus he is something I'll, sadly, never be: an Aussie. How cool is that? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif

[Oleander Ardens]

Good luck for both of you http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif

Cheers

Yes Pape-Sama, whatever you say Pape-sama http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I could get used to that http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/bigthumb.gif

All the best to you both http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/bigthumb.gif

My thanks to Greg: his style and consideration in moderation were one of the factors that has kept me coming back to the Org, the one online place I do come back to regularly.

Good luck in your future endeavor as EH moderator, Papewaio.

I'll also wish you luck with the weather situation over in Taiwan. How do you plan to deal with the typhoon? Is the area well-prepared?

It is windy and howling here on the west coast. It is not as bad though as the east cost and there is a mountain range inbetween.

Even went for my morning walk this morning... more like being out and about in New Zealand though then Taiwan.
