+BlueDeuce Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Forum mods are typically active in the forums quite a while and have gained the trust of Groundspeak. Groundspeak will recruit new mods if a need arises. If they need one and feel you are qualified for the job, they will be in contact. Link to comment

+BlueDeuce Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I'm too cranky. Now if they wanted to give me the ability to move bugs into the Great Unknown then I would be interested. Link to comment

Now if they wanted to give me the ability to move bugs into the Great Unknown then I would be interested. whats the Great Unknown? The area beyond the lesser unknown. ( I believe that refers to Travel bugs still listed as being in a cache although several finders have stated that it is gone from the cache - so to get it off of the "inventory" for that cache - you move it to "unknown". Only cache owners and TB owners can normally do that ) Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I'm too cranky. Now if they wanted to give me the ability to move bugs into the Great Unknown then I would be interested. whats the Great Unknown? Travel bugs and coins can be moved to an "Unknown Location" when they are not sitting in a cache. For example if a cacher activates a coin that they plan to keep instead of placing it into a cache, they can move it to an unknown location and it won't show in their drop inventory every time they log a cache. It keeps it on their account but nicely out of the way. Many times bugs and coins get lost in caches and need to be removed from the cache page listing. Both the cache owner and the bug owner can Mark it as Missing. This moves it to an Unknown Location until the owner re-releases it or the traveler resurfaces. Link to comment

+Renegade Knight Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 How do I... I've become convinced that a good mod would run screaming from the very mention that they become a mod and this site only by catching them and convincing them somehow that they should be a mod for the greater good would be ok as a mod. Maybe. I'm also convinced that anyone who would volunteer for it, is much more likley to be a bad candidate. Just like congress. Link to comment

GOF and Bacall Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 How do I... With professional counseling, and the proper meds, these unnatural urges can be controlled. This could take years but I am certain that your mental health is worth the investment, no? Link to comment

I sure am glad that you decided to not commit geoforumcide. But I do wonder what little naive you might possibly know about drugs. No geoforumcide, but my job seems to be engaged in a campaign of geotime-icide extending through early December. Don't they know I need to be engaged in geocaching and geochat? <sob sob> As to drugs, I will have you know that I have watched every episode of The Avengers, Get Smart, and Alias multiple times as well as every James Bond movie over and over. From my educational DVD watching, I know that drugs are commonly used by powerful organizations like geocaching.com to turn intelligent people into willing servants. What other explanation could there be? Carolyn Edited September 12, 2009 by Steve&GeoCarolyn Link to comment
Keystone Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Could you knock it off with the drug references? To this moderator at least, it's offensive. This is a personal request and not a moderator post. Thank you. Link to comment
