Get new moderators - some that AREN'T on the cheap $5 crack as of now, so they won't delete my stupid ideas!

Worst Ideas, by vote
http://www.halfbake..._20the_20Halfbakery
As of the 28th October 2005, this is the 7th-worst idea. [dbmag9, Oct 28 2005]

[marked–for–deletion] rant. |
|
| |
If you want your ideas to not be deleted, you can set up your very own site. |
|
| |
Or just type them in notepad and save them on your hard drive. At night you can open them up and pretend to annotate on, vote for and delete them. I find it most enjoyable if I adopt a different silly voice for each poster. |
|
| |
MFD, advocacy. “All moderators should be on high quality crack”. |
|
| |
I'll be surprised if you even have an account by tomorrow... |
|
| |
Akabaka: time, I think, to reconsider whether you want to post on this site or not. If you really like the place, kick back and relax a bit, or you WILL get kicked out (speaking from personal experience, I might add). |
|
| |
If you've had an idea deleted, then it was truly unsuited to this site, and you are lucky to still have a working account. If people have merely suggested that one be deleted (and I see that has happened to your "Cat Island" idea as well), then take a hint. |
|
| |
You don't need to post an idea every day, or even every month, and if people don't get your jokes, do the right thing and delete them. Straighten up and fly right. |
|
| |
Yeah. Those stupid moderators need at least $7 crack. |
|
| |
Psst, bris, over here in the corner... |
|
| |
How much does crack go for, anyway? I've been offered it before but never actually got so far as to negotiating a price. |
|
| |
What's crack, is it like a crackerjack pencil? |
|
| |
It's a builder's arse, isn't it? |
|
| |
I find that the cheap crack prompts me to post immense, rambling annotations. The costy stuff makes me work efficiently, and so I never wind up halfbaking. |
|
| |
I'm only here for the craic. |
|
| |
But the cheap $5 crack is a much better deal than the expensive $5 crack. |
|
| |
(and I was hoping this was a job posting) |
|
| |
Ironically enough, then number of fishbones that this idea has so quickly amassed shows quite an appreciation of the job that the moderators are currently doing. |
|
| |
It could be an expression of frustration at the cheap price of crack Akabaka evidently enjoys. |
|
| |
We all feel it, let's be honest. |
|
| |
I always try and avoid the crack. I get some very strange looks as I hop down the pavement. Black Top makes the whole exercise so much easier. |
|
| |
Black Top? Where can I buy that? |
|
| |
Tulane.
(Was that too obscure?) |
|
| |
[Not when you have access to Google.] |
|
| |
leave Vernon out of this - if you know what's good for you! |
|
| |
Thanks, [po].
I don't do drugs, so any remarks I make here about crack will only get me tarred and feathered as a chauvinist. Simpler to just relax and let any Vernon-related remarks disappear in due course. :) |
|
| |
It's always nice to observe self-immolations. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. |
|
| |
Is it like the smell of someone's crack, in the morning? |
|
| |
crack-a-doodle-do - it's early - wakey wakey and smell the
napalm |
|
| |
<question for moderators> |
|
| |
Trying to highlight and then copy the word craic made a little Yahoo icon appear. When I cracked, I mean clicked it the web definitions popped up in a new screen. Is this a new Hb feature? |
|
| |
2 fries: sounds like one of those shareware/spyware things. You have a Yahoo toolbar in your browser? |
|
| |
Yes there is a Yahoo toolbar, but it's never done this before. Apparently my fourteen year old has been tinkering with the 'puter again.
Thanks. I'll try a spywear scan. |
|
| |
New moderators? Are you claiming that the old ones have received too many cracks? The technical term is Wigner energy. |
|
| |
By the way, 2 fries, my computer is continually pestering me to upgrade to Adobe 7, but when I initiate doing so tries to slip the Yahoo toolbar past me at the same time. |
|
| |
I woke up next to that damn Yahoo toolbar last Sunday. It is a sneaky one. |
|
| |
I thought there was just one Adobe. Do the other six also create excellent software for the graphic design industry, and doesn't it cause confusion having so many identically named companies? |
|
| |
I have the same problem as Loris - s/he's referring to Acrobat 7. |
|
| |
I still have this mental image of a child saying "Can I have a new moderator, please, this one's broken?" |
|
| |
I have an idea...change the idea title to "Nude Moderators". |
|
| |
I always assumed that was baked. |
|
| |
How about "Moderate New Berators". |
|
| |
i would feel much happier having ideas deleted by nude moderators. |
|
| |
woof to doggy <pats on head> |
|
| |
did you know that dogs have more words for woof in english than in any other language? |
|
| |
I didn't know that dogs needed more than one word for woof. |
|
| |
"Woof"... "no...WOOOF!"..."no... that's not it... "wooFFF!"...."damn!" |
|
| |
Just out of curiosity, how does one become a Halbakery moderator in the first place? Are you approached by a mysterious and shadowy figure, or is it more of an 'email Jutta and ask' sort of affair? Do you guys actually get paid in crack? |
|
| |
Just email some crack, that should get you in. |
|
| |
I actually get them from a breeder in Newfoundland. |
|
| |
/Halbakery moderator/ - "Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this." |
|
| |
I just found out that an Adobe is a 'Sun baked brick'. I wish I hadn't bothered. |
|
| |
//I actually get them from a breeder in Newfoundland// |
|
| |
Hah! Sometimes you surprise me, [jutta]. |
|
| |
I thought Adobe was one of [UB]’s pets. |
|
| |
I thought it was slang for cannabis. |
|
| |
Good moderators are not made, they are bred... specifically to be abused, and to abuse, or so it now seems. |
|
| |
In the wings, heroin addicted moderators. One glitch, they keep puking on their keyboards, and they're never awake when you need em. |
|
| |
Abuse? Never. Bite? Sometimes. |
|
| |
New moderators, get your new moderators here! Buy two, get one free! |
|
| |
//You don't need to post an idea every day, or even every month// |
|
| |
One per month would be quite frequent for me. |
|
| |
Quality, not quantity. Amen. |
|
| |
I wasn't going down that road for a reason... |
|
| |
I do admire a modest man. |
|
| |
If humility were dust, I would be a neutron star. |
|
| |
Has anyone tried to live on dust? you know like a
vegetarian - I once remember breatherians, who lived on a
diet of air alone. Could there be dusterians? and if there
were, and I was one of them, we could feed on Detly's
neutron star sized stash for a long time.
I was also wondering - if Akabaka's idea gets deleted, does
that mean that the Moderators have just confirmed that
they really are on the $5 crack? It's quite a conundrum,
because if they try to confound that argument by not
deleting then have they have equally proved Ak's
assertion. Either way AK wins - hmmmm - pass me another
helping of that neutron star dust. |
|
| |
//breatherians, who lived on a diet of air alone// - The chief breatherian was photographed a couple of times snacking on a chocolate digestive. |
|
| |
I'm shocked, deeply shocked! |
|
| |
Would this fantastical beast be a modesterator? |
|
| |
You know that feeling when you walk into a room and realise that you really shouldn't have walked in?... |
|
| |
Wasn't David Blane a breatherian? Or did he survive off of thrown tomatoes? Actually, I never heard the end of that story - did he ever come down? |
|
| |
Wow, only 3 days and this is already the 7th-worst idea on the Halfbakery (based on the view I have, which uses the votes to make a list). See [linky]. |
|

|

Post an idea : "Moderators are on $5 crack - destroy if true" and find out for definite. |
|
| |
//Wow, only 3 days and this is already the 7th-worst idea on the Halfbakery (based on the view I have, which uses the votes to make a list).// |
|
| |
Hey, there are 2 ways of moving this idea up to its deserved place atop the list: |
|
| |
1) vote against this idea
2) vote *for* the ideas above it. |
|
| |
I've read them all and not one of them deserves to be voted for. This has actually happened a couple of times lately. I think "Animal Fights" got to about 9th place back in August. Such things rarely last anymore, because they get MFD'd. And much as it would be a hell of a compliment to the moderators if this idea got to #1 worst, even if it did last a while longer, I think #3 is about the roof for modern ideas. I'm quite curious as to who actually voted for this (assuming one vote is [Alabaka]'s). |
|
| |
I don't know, the one to beat is "Vagina Jam", which clearly a controversial one. |
|
| |
I myself have already voted for "Mandatory acceleration limit", which I think is actually quite a good idea. |
|
| |
I wouldn't call Vagina Jam controversial, just tasteless (I'm going to regret that sentence). |
|
| |
Now let's not get immoderate... |
|
| |
<Dave Barry> "New Moderators" would be an excellent name for an on-line rock band. </DB> |
|
| |
Someone has to be at the bottom of the totem pole. Best to ensure it's someone else. [ - ]. |
|
| |
Throw more negagtive votes at Danger Bunny. It's not even in the bottom twenty worst ideas! |
|
| |
a) This isn't the place.
b) Danger bunny isn't really an invention so I wouldn't push it.
c)Why do you want to be on a list of crappy ideas anyway?
d) Still not the place. You just lost one negative vote. |
|
| |
I'm adding a bun, for no other reason than this is the best thread I've read in a long time. |
|
| |
Damn, [ato_de] beat me to the New Moderaters band name. But I could always call my group The Adobe Seven. |
|
| |
[angel], touche. Oh wait. I think now you were talking about a musician. I thought ... nevermind. |
|
| |
Does World or Warcrack count? For the
Horde!! |
|
| |
I don't quite understand because this person [Akabaka] states that his/her ideas are STUPID anyway...and the first post is an MFD and this stupid idea is still here....cracked. |
|
| |
It's probably still here because of all the comments on it. |
|
| |
Clearly the mods are too busy with $5 crack to delete it. |
|
| |
Oh puh-lease, halfbakery is the crack
that's free. |
|
| |
"Don't meddle in the affairs of The Moderators, for your account is crunchy and tastes good with ketchup" |
|
| |
I think I have yet to delete an account,
mostly I just re-file ideas that are lazily
put in the Other: General folder or
similarly misfiled. There is the
occasional advertisement. |
|
| |
All right then: "Don't meddle in the affairs of The Moderators, for your postings may be efficiently re-filed, thereby increasing the enjoyment of the site by other users, and advertisements may be removed to keep the site as intended" |
|
| |
What if one day a depressed and angry moderator goes on a Columbine-style rampage through the 'bakery deleting accounts and threads at random ending with their own? Oh yeah - it's all backed up now. Shame we can't do that with kids. |
|
| |
This place cracks me up daily. |
|
| |
Who's Daly? And why is it his fault? |
|
| |
would the new, improved moderators, be
called modernators ? |
|
| |
The old one's (1960's) would be called "Mods", and all other types would be "Rockers". |
|
| |
Don't you just hate reading an anno you posted ages ago and thinking - what was I on about? |
|
| |
I quite like reading annos that you posted long ago and thinking "What was he on about?". But I'm strange that way. |
|
| |
I deleted the one I wrote as being waaay
tooo sensible |
|
| |
But now there's a crack in the annos. |
|
| |
What do you mean a crack in the annos? I'm writing on this page and I can't see any craAAAAAAAaaaaaaarrrrgh.... <fades to silence> |
|
| |
what's the crack? - well known expression
where I come from. |
