a couple of "hard pass" responses
The only ones we wanna know about ^

I'm going to change my stance.

If you want to know why we picked a particular person, then ask. If you applied and want to know why you weren't selected, then PM me.

What I'm not going to do, which should be no shock to anyone, is air dirty laundry in RT.

Can I change my question about who the applicants were without saying how they were deemed?

Linking Don Henley is a permaban level offense. The last thing we want is showing up in Google results next to the goddamned Eagles.

Just to be clear I am totally joking about "You stole my job".

I said in my application (which maybe pushed it into "joke" category) that I wanted to only be considered if the other applications were all jokers or total no's. Use me as a LAST resort basically.

Which I probably didn't need to say... but it made me feel better to say it instead of leaving it to be said by others lol.

Well then you've got a fight on your hands son, because I can abide by a no Don Henley rule from here on out, but you try to take Joe Walsh away from Z and I you may have a very bad day, son.

You can't argue with a sick mind, sucka.

lol

hey even scragg got one back in the day
There was this one pic in the screenshot queue and it was rejected due to profanity. It was a meme about Sabin suplexing the train. Dude went straight to Scragg and Aelius, Aly, and I had to explain why it was rejected to which Scragg sent us (this was in Hangouts btw) a copy with the MSpaint pencil tool lightly scribbled over the profanity. "How about now?"

"You can still make out the word."

Another copy with it completely blocked. "Now?"

"Yeah, now it's ok."

"Ok, now I wanna see Sabin suplex that train!"

To this day, I still don't know if this was a test or if he didn't know, or if he was bored at work and was just messing with us.

What about when "new Bon Jovi" is, as it turns out, "old Bon Jovi" but you now but you still think of it as new because it's not from Slippery When Wet or the Young Guns II soundtrack?

"Slippery When Wet" and "Young Guns II" are Old Bon Jovi. Everything else is heresy.

And yes, Joe Walsh gets a pass.

I'm pretty sure you've done it before but I wouldn't mind a quick breakdown of the process you guys use for reviewing the applications.

It's not a formal process, but it basically goes like this:

- Kojo hassles me about needing more mods
- Ignore him for a while
- Drink
- Finally give in to harassment and put out a call for applications
- Post applications in moderator section
- Active mods/admins weigh in on each, and give a list of their preferred choices. In my case I'll occasionally ask around about people I don't know as well
- We tabulate the feedback and then pick who I was going to choose anyway
- Notify His Scraggness™
- Notify new mods, promote, make thread, watch as people celebrate a new batch of jailers getting stun batons

rinse, repeat

I suggested we needed a new mod like, once. I'm pretty sure "drink" should be listed more than once. >.>

I meant more did people actually PM with "votes" for who they think should be given mod powers. lol

This definitely needs more drinking, but thanks!

So we need to start the most important part of the new-mod process.

Mod-nicknakes.

It does happen, both with joke applications, and real ones; in the last round especially, more than one person asked me to ask particular people to apply/be considered. I take those as a pretty strong vote of confidence, and they usually come from people I basically trust the input of. So if I show up asking you to apply for something, this is likely the reason why.
