Just an avatar test.......

[Les_the_Sarge_9_1]

Just noticing your avatar test Bob, and noticing you still don't have one, have you selected

Upload My Picture in your profile details.

and

does it conform to this

(145 X 145) Max. 750KB;
gif/txt/jpg/zip/rtf/doc/xls/sce/bfs/bfm are supported

And when selected, did you remember to click the tab "Apply" and then the tab "Ok" specifically in that proper sequence?

Because if it doesn't conform to all that, you will not have success.

Thanks, Sarge! You got me on the right track!

Thanks for your comments, guys. For those who know me pretty well, you know that some days I don't have much to say. On those days I just check in, make sure everything is OK, and then go about my normal routine. On other days, I just wanna shoot the breeze or share some information like any other forumer. As Muzrub says, in theory I should be able to express my opinions freely, as long as I don't violate the general forum rules.

Today, I found myself in the thoroughly bizarre role of having to lock my own thread. I briefly considered registering under an alter ego, but that could lead to even more strangeness.

At this point, I know I can trust you guys to keep each other in line, and sometimes to keep ME in line.

As always, any of you are welcome to PM or e-mail me with any concerns you may have, whether dealing with the forums or anything else.

KG's Bar is open 24/7.

Someone mentioned earlier to what sounded to me as though they thought that a mod couldn't ever be what they once were, and, in a sense it's true. Even when you're modding your own thread, thinking perhaps that's as close as you'd get to being "just like every one else" the fact of the matter is that despite that pretense, if you didn't mod your own thread, there is no mod for that thread. If you don't mod your own thread, then that leaves mod threads susceptible to flamers and such going berserk. So, the only easy solution is to post threads where you're not a mod, however, that mod 'badge' still follows you around (these forums anyway),,,,,,,which, brings up another point. If such scenarios pretty much eliminates a mod posting opinion or starting threads, the very job you got, probably axed out the very reason you originally posted here in the first place. Can you just see people doing a wargamer forum search on Google and then doing so for the direct intent of being a mod from the start?[>:]

There is another solution, however, working off the alternate ego idea. The idea would be to start some kind of ruckus whereas big evil KG locks the thread with soem sort of curt warning to that offender, thereby guaranteeing that nobody will suspect it's you when the alternate continues to post, AND, mainly, that way actually being able to truly have a non-mod role. As things are right now, you know things just aren't what they used to be. You can't really be the same guy with the badge. Of course, this message will have to self-destruct within 10 seconds of your reading it or it would avail nothing. Perhaps with me anyway, I'll be looking at those newbies a little more closely these days.[;)] Maybe we could have a monthly contest to spot the KG alter-ego?[:D] It would be lovely, as we would have completely innocent people being incarcerated to reveal their "real" identity.

huh?

[Charles2222]

Hmm, maybe nobody did make the argument that you can't ever take the badge off once it's on, but I've read that sort of thing so many times in threads of this sort it's bound to have happened by this time[:D].

[KG Erwin]

Charlie22, what in the world was that all about? It's Friday and KG's Bar sems to be very busy.
Your friendly neighborhood moderator is indulging tonight also, so I will issue this public disclaimer. If need be, I can count on my very tall & large friend Goblin to assist unruly customers to the door. [:-]
Behave yourselves, my friends, and I'll check in later. [;)]

[Charles2222]

I believe the gist was that he's MUI (modding under the influence), and would digest and contemplate that post later. [:D]

You have taken on a hurculean task. I've done it, did it for years at the old Gamer's Net and even did it here on this forum in the beginning.

I salute you Gunny. Fine job
