Welcome to the MacNN Forums.

As promised last time, we have made some more promotions. Here are your new Feedback targets:

chipchen (Marketplace, iMac, Pro Macs)
chippervw (Marketplace)
IceEnclosure (Consumer Hardware)
Thorzdad (Art & Graphic Design)

Priority was given to forums that needed coverage the most. In particular, Marketplace had become essentially uncovered by any local Mods since the last round. We'd missed that when advertising for nominees the first time.

Are we done with the promotions for awhile, should those candidates not chosen jump off the bridge now? We're not certain, so check back later this year. We still have names in the hat, and we're not afraid to use them if we need to.

What do you mean by "Feedback Targets" ?

Does that mean they are "IT" for now, and we should report back with objections or agreement ?

Thx for clarifying.

Any objections will receive the exact same consideration they always receive.

Heh, I was wondering what happened this morning when I saw chippervw posts with blue stars. Congrats to the new victims of the all mighty 'NN!

Common sense would say yes, for their respective forums.

Common sense tried, but had some issues with this sentence:

But after reading it for about 5 times, it dawned upon me.

An over lord makes me think of a lord that is past his prime. I'd rather be considered an Overlord. A really cool one.

besson3c · Apr 11, 2008, 10:16 AM

It's over, lord.

turtle777 · Apr 11, 2008, 10:52 AM

OV, er, Lord.

I prefer to think of this particular position as more of a "playground monitor".

That implies that we have reached the maturity level of children. Now that's a reach and maybe an overly optimistic outlook

Nice condescending insult. Is this the kind of quality personality actions mods need to have?

Dakar the Fourth · Apr 11, 2008, 02:03 PM

I bought you some wood putty for the chip on your shoulder.

Geez, no need to be so freakin' sensitive.

After all, his assessment of the job is pretty accurate given the maturity level of many who post here.

Same to you. How long do you want to go back and forth?

Dakar the Fourth · Apr 11, 2008, 02:57 PM

At least 3 pages worth, please.

No can do. I'm bored with it already.

Railroader · Apr 11, 2008, 11:43 PM

I'm good for 5-6 pages. 8 if Laminar and Dakar can offer some worthwhile bait.

Laminar · Apr 12, 2008, 11:28 AM

I've decided that I hate honey and anything that produces it, so my new mission in life is to Kill bees.

You're in college and can't do basic math? Or proper capitalization?

EDIT: Or reading comprehension?

You take the bait, and then go after capitalization and math ?
