Moderator mixup?
 

This morning, I noticed I had been made a moderator in the Aliquot sequence forum. :shock: But I also noticed that the existing mod, schickel, had been "un-moderatored". :shock::shock: What on earth is going on?

Why is no-one responding? Is it just to make fun of me?

[QUOTE=10metreh;177839]Why is no-one responding? Is it just to make fun of me?[/QUOTE]Yes, it is all a big conspiracy to make fun of you, well spotted there young sir. :evil:

Okay, to everyone else, we can all stop being secretive now, he found us out. :razz:

:razz::lol:

OK Xyzzy, can you put it all right?

Nope, your are now :jail:

[quote=Batalov;177851]Nope, your are now :jail:[/quote]

What, it can't be undone? (I wonder what Frank is thinking...)

I may leave the forum if this thing isn't sorted soon.

[QUOTE=10metreh;177863]I may leave the forum if this thing isn't sorted soon.[/QUOTE]Hehe, is that supposed to be a threat? :lol:

[quote=retina;177864]Hehe, is that supposed to be a threat? :lol:[/quote]

Yes, but not in the expected way. If I leave, the Aliquot Sequences forum won't have a moderator, and it needs one to work properly.

Then I'm sure that EITHER

One of the other members who is interested in that forum will "step up", OR

The "Aliquot Sequences forum" will die for lack of interest.

Your "threat" is meaningless.

I probably will stay, but I don't want the aliquot sequences forum to die (which it probably will if the mod problem isn't sorted). I'm sure Xyzzy didn't intend this side-effect.

[QUOTE=10metreh;177889]I probably will stay, ...[/QUOTE]So your threat was no only meaningless but also empty. Hmm ...[code]credibility--;[/code]

[quote=retina;177890]So your threat was no only meaningless but also empty. Hmm ...[code]credibility--;[/code][/quote]

It's just a possibility that I'll go...

[QUOTE=10metreh;177896]It's just a possibility that I'll go...[/QUOTE]Shall we arrange a collection for your leaving present?

Come on, guys, no need to beat up on the poor guy. As a fellow participant in the Aliquot Sequence project, I can testify that 10metreh's posts are now, for the most part, full of useful information. Give the guy a chance. :smile:

i wouldnt mind if 10metrh kept his modship as long as schickel get's his back

[quote=henryzz;177925]as long as schickel get's his back[/quote]

Spot the big grammar error.

[QUOTE=10metreh;177929]Spot the big grammar error.[/QUOTE]
No doubt another post "for the most part, full of useful information". Perhaps, as you once pretended yourself, it was done on purpose? You don't do yourself many favours

[QUOTE=10metreh;177929]Spot the big grammar error.[/QUOTE]

Is that an LALR grammar?
Or did you mean "grammatical error"?

Wait, you're irritated because somebody made you a mod?

:drama:

Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.....
 

I guess I should 'fess up here. I decided to hand off the moderator duties of the aliquot forum to someone else. I asked Xyzzy if I could do it "mysteriously" and have some fun at 10metreh's expense. Maybe I went a little over the top?

It's been a bit of a crunch at work this week and I was spending too little time keeping things up to date on the forum.

My thought is that 10metreh has definitely come a long way. To me, the fact that he was more concerned for the forum than just jumping in and taking over says to me that he is a suitable candidate for a successor.....

My earlier comment was entirely non-serious and was intended to see whether he has the necessary patience to ignore unimportant irritants.
