New Moderator: Zincous

[arn]

Hello,

We've asked Zincous to be a new moderator here at TouchAracde, and he's kindly accepted.

Thanks and welcome Zincous.

arn

[CDubby94]

Congratulations!

All the best to you.

[Zincous]

Thanks Arn for considering me, I'm very happy to become the new moderator here.

And thanks CDubby


For those of you who don't know who I am, I live in California, love soccer and I am currently a full-time student in college and have two part time jobs.

I am highly addicted to iPhone/iTouch apps which is what brought me to TA last year. Most know, that my favorite app is Trism, and I currently have the high score in that game.

If there's anything else, let me know and feel free to ask (to an extent :rolleyes:;))

I will do my best at keeping the forums here neat and tidy as best I can.

Thanks
-Zincous

[Ravenblack]

Good choice, arn. :)

Good luck on the mod job, Zincous. :)

[brewstermax]

I agree. Nice choice arn! We sure needed another.

[Spotlight]

Less time for improving your Trism skills.

[spmwinkel]

Congrats on becoming a mod, Zincous. I hope you enjoy keeping track of all the topics and making sure people aren't breaking rules in conversations that don't interest you! :D
I'm a moderator on another forum which is quite a bit smaller, me and the other mods can manage things just fine there. I imagine it's a much bigger task here!

[Mr. Charley]

Congratulations Zincous.
Don't let this get in the way of your studies though! ;)

[Big Albie]

First a Trism champ, then a Zincous Uggle, and now a TA mod...congrats Zincous!!

[yourofl10]

I agree. Nice choice arn! We sure needed another.

[Mew2468]

Congratulations Zincous!!! You'll make a great mod :D.

[Zincous]

Thanks for the kind words everyone! :D

[1337brian]

Great choice! I think it's good to have another mod, things have been pretty crazy lately, I guess TA is really getting huge!

[Stykman]

i think isuckassintheforums should be the next mod :D

[Boardumb]

Congrats Zincous!! I just noticed you locked a thread in the upcoming games forum and was all "WHA?!?" then I came here and saw this thread and was like "AHHHHHH!!!". Confusion vanished. WTG and you are already a great forum member and I'm sure will be a great Mod. Best wishes!!:D

Nothing gets past you, does it?

[Rocketman919]

he got banned;)

It was a joke.

[pharmx]

Nothing gets passed you, does it?

passed? :D

[pharmx]

Congrats Zincous! What I find ironic is that just the other day I had sent a private message to a certain developer on your behalf...he never replied, but I'm wondering what he's gonna think when he finds out you got this position, lol.

[Carlos-Sz]

Thanks Arn for considering me, I'm very happy to become the new moderator here.

Right... IBITF has a better chance.

Yep. Banned (yet, semi-great), [expletive], who?, and Danny. Yep, if you look up to them, then no, you'll never be a mod. I could have a shot, but I refuse to frequent the Games section, so I'm out. ;)

[dannys95]

I have the feeling that if arn made me a mod, Rocket would die, and Brew would have a stroke or something. :eek:

Isn't that confidential between arn and Rocketman, hmm, mod-to-be? ;)

Just seeing this, and wanted to congratulate Zincous, and send a big thanks to arn for always doing everything he can to make this the great site that it is.

[Sainter]

Ouch, your respect level just dropped from a 27 to a 13.7

(That is still very respectable though!)

Welcome to Moderationship!

Geez, cut him some slack. Also, quote by arn:

- Please avoid correcting spelling and grammar. English is not the primarily language for many people, and grammar discussion does not really add anything of substance to most discussions

[brewstermax]

I have the feeling that if arn made me a mod, Rocket would die, and Brew would have a stroke or something. :eek:

Maybe. I would hate to have to do that though. I would rather you than nuggets there.

[QUOTE=brewstermax;240163=QUOTE]Right... IBITF has a better chance.


no really!! arn said he will consider me if he ever needs another! i think i am real fit for the job.

I bet. You're a little nublet, and based on your grammar, about 12.

It will make my night if you define fit for the job.

Me too. I don't think he's going to pick anyone who joined in 2009.

And no, if Danny became a mod, my first reaction would be to: gape in awe. Then go email him and threaten him. Then go ask arn WTH is going on.

[Stykman]

i think im fit for the job but w/e

First, this thread has gotten incoherent.

actually i live in amarica but im greek. also chill brewster!! i was just trying to be involved in the conversation, i think you just need to chill and express your opinion in a more gentle way.plus why start a random rant on me when we should all be congradulating zincous!! congrats!

Now you're blaming brewster for starting this flame war? You told everybody arn was considering you as a mod, and they expressed their opinions! Then you defended yourself, which only added fuel to the fire! Now you're blaming them? Give me a break. I can see your point, but you kinda took us off-topic.


Congrats to Zincous! :D

[The Game Reaper]

Geez, cut him some slack. Also, quote by arn:
Yeah but 'fantasy' is pretty basic english. I don't think it applies in this context. :D

I'm sitting here next to my twelve gauge... Send me his message that said he considered you. Unless you're lying...

And congrats to Zincous, you've done a damn good job so far.

Really.

[Sainter]

To Zincous,

Are you a Moderator for a role like salsamad or Hodapp?

In salsamad I mean here to moderate the protect the forums from evil 12 year olds or more into reviewing and posting daily news like Hodapp/arn/Blake?

Sainter

Am I entitled to my free speech, or is anywhere you touch a dictatorship, where infractions are plentiful, and editing of posts is constant?

Zincous is cool. Don't worry about that. So are NotYou and Wastedyuthe. Hodapp is great too. Arn is good. Blake is EPIC, but never posts. That leaves one, and I'll leave you to your own assumptions. Personally, I didn't even know who salsa was when he/she was made a mod, he/she only had around 100 posts, and I'd never seen any posts by them. :shrugs:.

So.

Great Mods/Admins

brewster I don't mind salsamd.

He/She adds Pictures and videos to game release threads, corrects titles when you pm him, but I've never seen one of their posts.

They have created 35 threads with almost 900 posts.. you did see any of them?

True. Nor have I. But he/she does all of these things without asking too. I've seen salsa edit posts out of nowhere, and all sorts of things.

I've seen some game release threads, but thats about all. I remember a Wave Blazer or something thread by salsa.

Well I mean salsa has like no personality in their posts.

I'll keep you in mind."

Congrats Nuggets, that sounds like a definite maybe :)

In terms of Salsa, I don't see why that's even an issue. He adds stuff to the threads in his own way.

[brewstermax]

"Hey Nuggetsman,

That's a nice way of saying "Never". If I were an admin, I'd be more blunt.

[The Bat Outta Hell]

So did you ask to be an admin? I think arn just asks people himself, like Big Albie to be editor and Zincous to be a mod.

[jchampl]

salsa is personally my favorite, he keeps things nice and neat, always adds pictures, videos, and descriptions to threads that need it. hes like the mother teresa of touch arcade. hes just out to make the forums better not up his post count. he does the jobs he supposed to do and then some.

He edited many of my threads for the better, and fast too!

Me neither. Too much responsibility, and you're on a pedestal and have to follow all the rules. That's a fail. I can't have all serious posts. What fun is that?

Be like Hodapp then.

Lol. I find that that would make me a less effective moderator. I don't want to be one anyway. I prefer the way it is. I do wish we had more ranks though.

Nah. I hate it when human beings act like robots. Good to see mods with a sense of humor.

Well, if you are asked say no. :rolleyes:

Maybe the least serious person on TA.:rolleyes:
At least close.
