QUOTE(MarchHare2UrAlice @ Apr 26 2005, 3:04 PM) how does the appointment of mods not effect me, a member of the community where these mods make the decisions? that makes no sense well, if the way the mods are choosing to run the site is promoting this discontent, then clearly something is wrong. and clearly you need some instruction in how to do your job. because you're RIGHT. this ISNt how its supposed to be. and since sole responsibility for decisions which affect the site lie with the mods, as you say, then it follows logically that they are responsible am i even talking about the appointment of mods? umno. i'm talking about justin's idea to make each mod assigned to one forum. we don't have a say in the appointment of mods either. OHHHH FRIGGINNNN WELLLL. |

Ok, the only reason why it was taken off is because the majority of the members were lashing out on Jusun because they can't friggin accept change! They didn't like it because they didn't know what everything stood for, but didn't want to wait and try to learn and get used to them. Life is about changes. If you don't adapt to them, then well.....you know what kind of life you'll live. |

QUOTE you're not our boss, jusun is. this IS a job. I was honestly waiting for a mod to say that Sammi. =D. Now that it has been said, I would like to point out that it was mentioned as boss, and not leader/overfounder. Boss.... strong word, often leads to thinking of overpowerment, no? Is it not true then, that most of the mods are fearful of Jusun because he does have this "boss" figure? |

Boss does not necessarily have to mean someone who is harsh/mean/overpowering. No one should fear Jusun because he is so damn kind.

if you're talking about being fearful of losing your job, uh duh. i think anyone in any job situation is fearful of making the wrong impression on their boss. o_O
but trust me, we'll stand up to jusun if we strongly diagree with some of his decisions, since we're around here more than he is and if we've seen examples we can use to prove why it's a bad decision, then we'll use them. at least, i will - i talk to him on AIM whenever he's on about stuff like this. although, he hasn't been on in a while.. |

What change? I am not contradicting myself. If you mean about voting, I stated my reasons (which was not because I can't accept change). And which change are you talking about that I can't bare to accept now?

Comparisons between foreign leaders and the "boss" of cB doesn't.... help much.
He holds all the power yet? It is entertaining to see that people are admitting this. |

He doesn't exactly hold all the power. And I never compared him to a foreign leader, if that was towards me. He holds power because he CREATED all of this. He has the highest control and status because of that. But of course, the supermods and admins also have a lot of power.

And yet why does anyone have to "take it up with Jusun"?
It is a community to dispute and find a common grounds between eachother. Why the hell does it have to be one person's choice whether to abolish it or not? |

QUOTE or you can take it up with jusun. in the process QUOTE the new mods must feel like crap since people are protesting their appointment so much im not protesting their appointment. im protesting for a greater say in general, and also, i think you'll find that at least one of th enew mods strongly supports what's being said here. QUOTE we're sick of being bothered about reasons they were appointed when we too don't have a say in it. so shut up and let it lie. it takes two to keep a conversation going. QUOTE you keep saying all these changes would benefit cb, but i don't think you know how hard it is to run a forum or even be a mod on one. there's 30,000 members we have to consider. not just a couple who agree with the idea. im sorry. at what point did 29,998 members say that this was a bad idea? i must have missed that. and if its so horribly difficult, why not allow some sort of subsidiarity. that would surely make your lives easier |

Come on, they were just a few symbols and buttons that even little kids can understand. He probably changed it back because he wanted everyone to be happy and comfortable. What other way could it have been introduced if it didn't actually replace the other buttons? How could people have known whether they like one over the other if they didn't see it first? |

Why the hell does it have to be one person's choice whether to abolish it or not? they have to take it up with jusun because frankly, it is his forum. you(generic) can deny it and insist its public all you like, but the fact is, he owns it, and hes the power to take it away. |

Oh, and for Jusun being a "boss".
Hm, well he would be here to hear about the debate going on, and to debate himself. This is putrid how we should just go to him for an "answer". This is god figurely. Horrid. |

You know what's funny? The funny thing is that this entire thing could be so much simpler if Jusun just says something already. We're arguing about mods? Why can't the head of this entire thing just clear it up already?
Face it people. CB is falling. I'd hate to be the doomsdayer of this entire thing, but it's falling. It's falling fast. |

Oh and if you are truly mods, then you would be mods for the community, not mods for Jusun just to impress him. Just wanted to say that.
And I must agree with Ariel on the last part. Period |
