You know, I want to be a Mod, too.

SO, like so many of us at GBAtemp, I've mused to myself;
"I'd be a great Mod! Just how does one become a moderator?"

Fortunately, a newcomer was willing to pose this question in the regular forum.

Answers began to pour in from all corners of the globe, regarding the best method with which to become a moderator.

Most of these methods seemed to revolve around sexual favors....specifically analingus....so I was at a loss. I mean, even Resident Evil's licker creatures don't have a tongue long enough to perform fellatic favors across the Atlantic Ocean.

So I did what seemed to be the next-best thing, and sent close-up photos of my genitalia to all of the staff.

Needless to say, there were.....mixed results.

Toni Plutonij was kind enough to respond immediately to my query, saying that my little friend was not "biomechanical" enough.
....So I got myself one of those special pumps...you know, from Sweden...and tried it again.
Still not good enough, he says.

Darn...

BUT! There are many other staff members who might be impressed!

Unfortunately Hadrian was not one of them. He was apparently too engrossed in writing a game review of Custer's Revenge on the Atari 2600.

Maybe I should have had the photo rendered in 8-bit graphics...

JPH was the next respondent; he promptly moved my message into a more appropriate folder... and then began to stalk me.

(One point for me!.....I think.....)

OSW simply wasn't interested in my Wii....something about not having infrared emitters made it nothing more than an ordinary joystick...

Rayder made a log of the unscheduled release and told me to close that topic.

Costello was actually rather complimentary, saying that he was impressed that my fella was thinner than the DSi.

shaunj66 said it was completely incompatible with his adapter.

jumpman17 was unimpressed by the decided lack of firmware.

And Opium said my homebrew had a few bugs on it.

Sinkhead responded that this was getting to know a 'Temper just a little bit too well.

Science made people think I was a girl.

Destructobot's answer was slightly cryptic; telling me to engage my Number One in my own Number Two....whatever that means.

Narin also responded, saying that I was kupoed-up kupo and I deserved to be kupoed by a kupo-kupo.
....so then I asked him for the cheat code to become a mod.
No response....maybe he's still working on it.

I dunno, maybe I'm not cut out for moderatorship...

...I think I'll just go throw myself off the Edge of the Forum.




The previous post is entirely a work of satire and not meant to be taken seriously at all.

*Salut* It will be my pleasure. *grin*


[quote name='Hadrian' post='1527874' date='Nov 7 2008, 03:52 PM']Sure, will be fine.[/quote]
Thank you kindly. You'll have it ASAP.

[quote name='raulpica' post='1527876' date='Nov 7 2008, 03:54 PM']That was hilarious :D

All the EoF should be like this ;) Good work :)[/quote]

Thank you much!
This won't be the last you hear from me.
 
[quote name='Toni Plutonij' post='1527943' date='Nov 7 2008, 04:28 PM']See, no worries!! ;)[/quote]
I wasn't particularly worried, but I'd really rather not suffer a ban because I didn't check with the people in charge.

[quote name='Toni Plutonij' post='1527943' date='Nov 7 2008, 04:28 PM']By the way, I love it.....I really laughed while reading it!![/quote]

^_^ Mission accomplished.

Oh, by the way I made my pump more steampunk now. (glued a bunch of watch gears to it)

I can be mod nao?
 
I lolled reading this.

Perhaps I can just follow your attempts at becoming a mod so I can figure out what to and what NOT to.
Although so far I'm undecided wether sending pictures of my genitalia is a good or bad thing. It is dang impressive you know! Moozxy told me so.
 
Well, that explains why Moozxy said it wasn't very impressive.


...Okay, so maybe I sent the pics to a few people other than the staff....

Probably why Little was so unimpressed by this thread.

*facepalm* Aww man, I've been outed.
I knew I shouldn't have sent those pics to any of that .05% of GBAtemp members that are actually ladies.
Stoopid me.

[quote name='Raiyu245' post='1528151' date='Nov 7 2008, 05:57 PM']I want to be the very best, like noone ever was..[/quote]

Nuuuuu! Competition is bad fur meeeeeeee!

[quote name='bobrules' post='1528040' date='Nov 7 2008, 05:13 PM']omg where's the subscribe button.[/quote]

*chuckle* There doesn't seem to be one, so I simply took a rather unique name/avatar.
Just watch for it.
 
I found it funny too. I loved the way you typed it. I just had pictures in my mind. I just see a serious guy asking how to be a mod but the answers he got in return just him that much more clueless.
 
[quote name='xJonny' post='1528313' date='Nov 7 2008, 07:11 PM']Har har, that made me snigger.[/quote]

Quite glad I gave you a laugh. ^_^ Hope I can do so again in the coming articles.

That's great feedback. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond!
You recognized the angle I was trying to imply, precisely.

[quote name='JPH' post='1528330' date='Nov 7 2008, 07:18 PM']Heh, funniest thing I've heard all day. :D[/quote]

*LOL* I was sort of counting on the sense of humor I suspected to be in you.
Glad I didn't offend, friend.
And I meant every word I said, you've done a fine job as a moderator.


[quote name='Shiro786' post='1528340' date='Nov 7 2008, 07:23 PM']You're so funny, you definitely should be a mod![/quote]

*chuckle* It's highly appreciated, but I'm not yet qualified.
Give me some time to learn, and we'll see if tha 'Temp needs my assistance.

[quote name='Bitbyte' post='1528345' date='Nov 7 2008, 07:25 PM']Very nicely written :D. Great satire![/quote]

*takes a bow* Thehn kyuh.
I learned from the best.
 
I was a mod on 2 other forums, want to know the secret to becoming one? The easiest way is to kick ass and take names until you're all out of ass, the other method is to be nice and helpful, sooo, what's it gonna be?

*takes your name, since he cannot kick your ass*
 
[quote name='Law' post='1527817' date='Nov 7 2008, 01:20 PM']On the front page the thread title is "You know, I want to be a Mo...".

I expected that to end in "Molester", for some reason.[/quote]
What do you mean, "for some reason"? Would you honestly have expected anything better coming from GBAtemp?

I only expect better than that from a small percentage of our compatriots.
There are quite a few among our ranks who embarrass me severely.

I might ask the occasional stupid question, or make a moronic comment,
(you've seen this much, and then kindly corrected me... Thank you for that, by the way.)
but the newcomers who refuse to try out the search function and expect us to hop to their every query just blow my mind.

This may not be 4chan, but some people do need to lurk moar.

*LMAO* You'd have seen the blog even if I couldn't have posted it without getting in trouble.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this guy is someone you shouldn't take so lightly as you all seem to,
even though he's incredibly quiet.
He won't ever introduce himself, so I'll do it on his behalf.
Budrow66:
Wise far beyond his years, and my best friend for much of my life.
He's been kind enough over these many years to teach me about computers, to teach me about the NDS, and to show me to GBAtemp.
Listen to him a while. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

Just forgive his spelling. ^_^

(sorry Bud, couldn't resist the joke at your expense.)

I apologize for my double-post. I'm not sure how to merge them after the fact.
