Be Nice to Revdisk
« on: June 24, 2015, 01:26:16 PM »
Be nice to Revdisk. I've found that new mods are always itching to use the banhammer.  :laugh:

Rev is on staff now to help take the load off Nick on tech issues, but of course will have regular mod powers. I have always found him to be a very level-headed member, and expect that he will be an excellent and fair moderator.

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

I want to echo what Ben said.  The good Rev is here to help Nick with the technical side of keeping APS up and running, but will have full Mod powers and keys to the Banschwerk.  If he has to deploy it, I'm sure it will be with good reason.  Just hope that's all he uses...

May G-d have mercy on your souls.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Of all the possible things Rev could do to you, banning you from APS is probably the nicest one.

Could we invest Rev with irregular mod powers?  Like limited authority on alternate Tuesdays, but super-awesome mod powers on his religion's high holy days.  Or maybe make him use a Finnish template when interacting with the moderator bits?  I found that making changes in the BIOS while using Finnish rather than English makes for hilarity.  And we all want Rev happy.

He has discussed access to a backhoe, and the existence of a concrete-lined pit in his garage.

Banned means banned.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Well, to do that you'd have to write some custom code. And the person who would have to write the code would be...RevDisk.  [tinfoil]
