will help to moderate this forum.

[KukriKhan]

Welcome aboard, matey!

[Tribesman]

Wow 5 mods , I didn't think it had been that heated in here lately .

Anyone fancy starting a topic on firearm regulations to make them earn their keep

[Kagemusha]

Or Abortion? But Wellcome Pape!

[AntiochusIII]

Papewaio is back on the moderating team? Nice.

Once again, I must repeat two sentiments:

First, I seriously doubt the Backroom is that bad. I've been to far, far worse places with one or two moderators on the list.

And second, Congratulations!

Try Usenet proper, in the unmoderated groups. Serial cross-posters make flamewars particularly fertile and "interesting". Try dreaming up a topic that covers the following newsgroups:

alt.politics
alt.alien.vampire.flonk.flonk.flonk
alt.flame
soc.history.what-if
rec.sport.soccer
soc.subculture.bondage-bdsm
comp.lang.perl.misc

Alternatively, write whatever you want, then cross-post to as many groups as you can anyway, as per the Usenet tradition (until your account gets suspended for abuse). After enduring irritating little so-sos who initiate flamewars for amusement's sake and hop frequencies to evade killfiles, I am thankful for moderators. Cramps my style a little, but then I rarely resort to direct namecalling.

Why mods arent made something like this and we doesnt have a backroom anymore?

[IrishArmenian]

rec.sport.soccer
soc.subculture.bondage-bdsm

Was this tailored for me? Sounds like fun, I'm in. Although, I kind of thought that this was what the mods liked...football and bondage, and drinking, I like that too.
Wasn't Pape taking a "vacation"? I hope that went well. Good to have you back, Pape.

Lord knows thatll do the trick...

Welcome back!

Trying to cover as many of the timezones as possible, I see.

[Sensei Warrior]

I don't know wether to congratulate him or give him my condolences. To be on the safe side I'll stick with the former rather than the latter.

Congrats Pape!

Timezones, speed of which flames can start, and cultural differences creating different understandings and reactions to posts.

I don't believe a word of it. Admit the truth, Pape -- you broke something, and now you're being punished with Backroom duty. There's no shame in fessing up.

[Papewaio]

Oh the humanity... it is cruel and unusual punishment...
