1. See how far and wide your post will go on TER from board to BORED.
2. To make sure that when you have used bad judgement in a post, you can't delete or modify it until it has already been posted. (I am naming it the "I know I am an asshole but I needed to vent rule, now please take it down.")
3. Use every alias possible that involves the namage of "DUDE" somewhere. Just to remind people that CD isn't VIP and others never get spoofed for mockery. Unless you are capedude.
4. That you have a new way to vent you OCD. Now you can write Staff 12 times a day with "good reason"..why did you moderate me??? DUH.
5. You can write to all of your friends to explain your lame plight and inablitiy to live for being the 1st poster on TER or any new thread. (Smelly) hehe
6. Visiting Twin Cities is better because Ben actually responds to you personally by calling you an asshole rather than just posting a picture of one.
7. Just to prove your still worthy you can go on the Provider/Reviewer Only boards and still post without hesitstion. Remember, they are the alleged "unmoderated" forums.
8. Something to write home about to your parents when you have to explain that the 1500 for food was really worth it at the new TER, Topping for Eutheopian Refugees. It really was for a good cause.
9. So when your post says up and they claim it was in poor taste you can say ... "HEY, it was so bad that staff left up for everyone to read. Couldn't be that bad right?"
And the 10th... the most deserving of any 10 that I know is:
10: Annoy the shit out of Thirsty on 5 (YES 5) TER board he moderates. Therefore, he MUST, read and approve everytime you hit enter with no subject. Over, and Over, and OVER again.
Now that is PRICELESS. Go today! Get MODERATED!!!!!!!!
Apparently, like a few others, you do not recognize that this Top Ten List post was meant in fun.What started as a couple of tongue-in-cheek threads on the Boston board, has been blown out of proportion by a minority.
Someone posting as GODDESS-ORATOR posted on the Boston board that they had moderated a suspected shill and that “thirsty will decide how long you are moderated” and on a separate thread they posted that they had moderated thirsty for allowing the first thread to go up. I obviously was greatly offended by the thread because I immediately linked to it on the DC board. The net result? Staff moderated the poster yet I was not reprimanded. By not pulling the threads in question in effect I approved them. It happened on my watch. Maybe I just don’t know how to moderate boards. (Ben Dover shut up!
Hello TER!!! Is anybody listening??? Admittedly, I let a bit more go than most moderators. However, if these threads were so offensive, why weren’t they pulled? I didn’t find them offensive but hey, that’s just me. If the thread did not warrant removal then it follows imho that the poster did not warrant moderation.
Staff et al, you can’t say I didn’t try to resolve this issue backchannel.
Thirsty, you know me. I like things handled quietly as possible. Unfortunately there was a thread on General with responses by the time I got to it. Deleting would have only sparked the rumor of a cover up.
Speaking of Italian, I got this joke in an email this morning. Don't think it will offend. It floored me!

"Shuddup an lissin. Somma day you gonna runna da business.....you gonna have a beautifula wife, lotsa money, a biga home and maybe a couple a bambinos."
"Somma day you gonna comma home and maybe find you wife inna bed with another man.

Smelly is a legend in his own mind from the NYC board. He is also a close friend of atl_mgr from the Newbie and ISO boards and the soulmate of Ben Dover from the Twin Cities board.
But smelly and me connect on a deeper emotional level... But don't despair Mr. Info, someday you'll catch the eye of a different moderator whose looking for some ass candy, and he'll be your daddy...
