Vote for Me!

I didn't even know there was an unauthorized election for Unity Moderator but I might as well throw my hat into the ring.  VOTE FOR ME!  Why?  because I am totally LAZY!  That's right, as your moderator, I would do hardly anything at all - I probably won't ever read most of the posts.

When a really nasty post comes to my attention - one that contains a personal attack or foul language, I will simply delete it - when I get around to it.  If a thread gets long and boorish I'll close it but leave it there (if the forum  even has this tool?  - I don't know).   Let me give you an example of how I would moderate this hypothetical post - and you should ask the other moderator candidates how they would handle this also as it is a good test:

DOLPHIN SUCKS!

I tried to install Dolphin last night and the bloody thing doesn't work!   Who are the idiots who made this software?  You all must be morons for using this crap!  Go to bloody hell all of you!

Now what would you do with this post?  Reasonable people can disagree, but I would just leave it there.  Not because I like the message, but because I will probably be too lazy to get around to deleting it.  Eventually I would get around to deleting it - if it had no other useful information, but by then members would have had a chance to read it and weigh in first.

That post, by the way, is an approximation of a real post that appeared on the forums not too long ago.  The poster later came back and apologized admitting that he drunk (PUI - posting while intoxicated - never a good idea).   A more diligent moderator would have deleted the thread, along with some of the insightful responses, and banned this member.  A lazy moderator, on the other hand would likely just let it slide - and by the time he got around to doing anything the situation would have likely resolved itself.

In your heart-of-hearts you know it is true.  If Boonex needs a moderator now, then it should be a LAZY moderator.  That is why you should vote for me!
