Really? I have heard it has been more frequent then you say.

Also if I am working at my job, and I whine for a promotion should I get it? I don't think so.

lol I asked for Void mod recently, but that's only for the fun of it.


Asking is rather different than whining. If you feel you have earned it, then you have all the right for a promotion then go for it.

All that being a Forum Elder is good for is the fact that you still get to view the staff. Avalon originally made the group just so some of the resigning staff could continue to view it. If I recall, it used to be only 4 people, but the next time I looked it had exploded into a lot more. And then a few weeks later cort de-eldered a bunch of people. My point is, the group isn't for actual "elders" like it sounds like, its just so x-mod who have contributed can continue to view staff.

I don't think it has staff viewing powers anymore. At least we didn't while I was one.

Now only a few of the Elders can see Battle Staff.

But all they get is a coloured default title. Not worth worrying about.

Stop bickering over a forum position. Heck, you don't even show up on the Forum Leaders list (any more).

Well AxL, I have no grudge against you no more but you and celestialbadger always bitched about the job I did... Which the admins said I was doing a very good job... You said I did a shitty job... :( MEANIE!!!


You have to be a mod a certain amount of time and during that time you have to do your job and do a good job at it. You must hand out the warnings, clear the spam and flames, move the un-needed posts... And visit the private staff room, which has lottsa happy candies and bologna in it!!!

here's a better question... why would you want that status? It's better to be a peon here than to have the responsiblity of people looking up to you for advice and to do stuff for them and whatnot... take your current status with pride and hope you never have to,/get to, be on the staff here someday.

Haha, I like that Rage... The staff isn't all that great, all they do is argue and bitch about other people's actions(other mod's.) And it get's very annoying after awhile, there's no point in it if your going to be degraded for the way you do your job, or hearing it... So just listen to Rage, lol...

i should have been given the title "GOD" just for being able to stop you from losing your mod position in chit chat.

i still have all the pm's, want me to post them as proof?:D

You are wrong bub. They only let a very select few elders view staff. I'm not one of them.

Staff privileges were taken away from me also. :(
So other than the title, what else do Elders have going for them now?

True, but it takes you longer to get there with your canes, and motorized scooters.
