I am not sure I like the use of the word "overlord". It implies power that can be abused.

[haqking]

I think it is pretty apt. it means power over many people or great authority

I think the Administrator title should be Forum Overlord instead

all good fun ;-)

[s.fox]

not found has joined the staff ranks :-)

[haqking]

Congrats to Not Found (http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=1209987) also as new moderator also

well done

[Quadunit404]

Congrats to everyone who became staff.

[Old_Grey_Wolf]

I think it is pretty apt. it means power over many people or great authority
And, the problem occurs when that "power over many people or great authority" becomes abused.

It may seem like "good fun" until you are the victim of the abuse of those powers.

well off-topic now so i will bow out of that one ;-)

[sisco311]

With great power there must also come — great responsibility!

I know, this is a cliché, and I am green staff member, but I'm sure that other staff members agree with it.

[hansdown]

Congratulations to everyone.

[Dangertux]

Congratulations again to all the individuals who got a new responsibility.

As for the power thing -- it's forum moderator status, it's not like they were given nuclear launch keys lighten up.

[Old_Grey_Wolf]

I will bow out as well. I have voiced my opinion.

[sffvba[e0rt]

Well, this was unexpected...

There are so many new buttons to play with now... going to have to try out each of them at least once to see what they do (I don't read the manual, that is why I can't use Debian either :p)

[Khakilang]

Congrats to you guys. I am sure you can make this a better place.

[fdrake]

i was just wondering how many ubuntu members there are around? do you guys have to increase the number to keep a ratio with the registered users?

anyway, again CONGRATS FOLKS!!!

[lisati]

Congratulations again to all the individuals who got a new responsibility.And "responsibility" presupposes the ability to respond appropriately.

+1 to the congrats.

That's classified, and allegedly forms the basis of the user rankings and beans. :D

did not know you guys were such "noble" and secretive -elite. I feel like a member of the "plebe" now .... but still loving it :P

[saltmarshlamb]

Congratulations - try and havefun :)

[NightwishFan]

Couple folks I know quite well on the list now. Congrats! :)

[ninjaaron]

The word "power" implies that it can and will be abused at times. Nobody is perfect. It's just a message board. Deal with it.

[s.fox]

nothingspecial has joined the staff team :)

Congratulations!

[Ms_Angel_D]

Congrats to all you guys....But if you people keep passing around my dark side cookies I'm really going to have to come up with a new recipe :P

[s.fox]

Congratulations must also go to mörgæs :)

Welcome to all the new moderators!!! :popcorn:

Why is that Joeb454 guy still staff, let alone an admin...honestly, you people need to rethink this ASAP!


He's the only one who can keep you in your cave...

[Resident Troll]

He can't keep me in the cave, nobody can keep me in my cave!!!!



Except Mrs Troll.... :(

And thus logic would dictate that Joeb454 must be Mrs. Troll... that's logic for you ;)

I must say that the forums are very efficient these last few days.

Less spam and reports get dealt with a lot quicker.

You guys are really on top of things.

Also it seems there is almost as many reds in the online users as normal members too ;-)

keep up the goodwork guys and gals.

peace

[wirepuller134]

I'm glad forestpiskie is back!! Great re-addition to the staff.

Hi, just want to say congratulations to everyone who made staff member you are all richly deserving.

[cpmman]

"Generally the piskies are seen as cheerful creatures with a prankish nature. They are said to be helpful but also mischievous, helping the elderly and infirm whilst sometimes leading the more able bodied traveller astray on the lonely moors. Many stories relate to travellers being led into the wild moorland to become hopelessly lost because of the Piskies."

Elderly and infirm I may be but it is comforting to find the blind prepared to lead the blind.):P

[lovinglinux]

Thanks everyone.

I am embarrassed about missing this thread for so long. Still learning all the new stuff and responsibilities.
