I'm pretty sure Moksha is against queueing, but I only suspect that Quasimodo is for it, it's not too clear (to me).
I'm pretty sure Bazooka and Falcon A are neutral, but I'm not entirely sure.

So, I have a few dimpled chads and hanging chads I have to use a microscope on before I can be certain which side won.

Put me down as against queueing. I hate when my chad hangs.

CFR!


Peace,
Ceeboo

all you faqs-haters are just tired of being smacked down by withering argument and unassailable logic. you are all stuffed to the gizzard after being force-fed your own lower digestive tracts, courtesy of chef faqs-man! so i say let faqs serve all you heathens another generous helping of your own arses...after a blessing on the food, of course!

oops. my post was in response to this:

DarthJ:
If your goal is to have a board that makes Mormons look bad, you should not only allow, but encourage, ldsfaqs to have unfettered posting all over the place, all the time.

OOPS! In my last post, I meant that I suspect you were AGAINST it, not for it. Either way, thanks for clarifying.

So, here are the standings:

FOR QUEUEING: 4
AGAINST QUEUEING: At least 4, most likely 5
NEUTRAL: 2, maybe 5

I'm pretty sure Moksha is against queueing, but it's not 100% clear (to me).
I'm pretty sure Bazooka and Falcon A are neutral, but I'm not entirely sure. Also, I think Gunnar is neutral, but a case can be made that he/she is against it.

So, as it stands things appear to have tipped slightly in favor of the "nays." So, this is everyone's last chance to offer clarifications or supply counter-votes before I let him off the queue for the Terrestrial Forum. There's no question that he must remain on the queue in the Celestial Forum, though.

I am a he, and I am leaning more against queuing than in favor of it, but I can accept either one as long as we are talking only about the terrestrial forum and not the celestial forum. For celestial, his status should remain as is.

I am against queuing ldsfaqs in the Terrestrial Forum.

For one thing, Shades, ldsfaqs is not a troll. He goes off on rants and personal attacks, but he does, in his way, actually address the substance of whatever thread he is in. He invariably calls everyone a liar and an idiot, but he calls them a liar and an idiot IN THE CONTEXT OF THE TOPIC OF THE THREAD.

If you're going to put people in moderator queue, it should be the people who pathologically troll and derail threads. It has been brought to your attention for well over a year that Tobin does this in every damned thread he posts in, but you have done absolutely nothing about it. stemelbow was a pathological troll and derailer, and Simon Belmont became one at the end (along with his legion of sock puppets). You didn't do anything about them, either. And Mittens is another one who does this. Jesus Christ, have you looked at his thread about maklelan currently in Terrestrial?

If you want people to be interested in this board, then personal insults are a minor problem. The major, colossal problem is posters being deliberately irrelevant in order to stifle discussion. ldsfaqs does not do that. Whatever you might say about his style, his grammar, or his reasoning, it is always on topic for the threads in which he participates. The people you need to moderate are the chronic trolls. I mean seriously, it is baffling that you won't let zeezrom post images when he has impeccable taste in art (classic art shows nudity sometimes Shades---sorry to inform you), but you let Tobin run free to drive people away out of sheer tedium at his derailing EVERY damned THREAD HE POSTS IN.

subgenius is a chronic troll, too, even though he almost never posts in Terrestrial. He does sometimes try to wrap his feeble brain stem around the substance of a given topic, but as often as not all he posts are various memes and junior high-level "your mom/I know you are, but what am I?" banter at everyone. Seriously, look at his posting habits, and then explain why ldsfaqs is in moderator queue but he is not.

Trolling and derailing, Shades. That's what you need to get under control if you want any kind of interesting, substantive, and entertaining conversation here. Trying to participate on a message board where people like Tobin, subgenius, Mittens, formerly stemelbow, and people like them is like trying to watch a movie with idiot teenagers heckling and throwing popcorn. People are going to leave the theater, no matter how good the movie is.

ldsfaqs is not a troll and he doesn't derail, and merely calling people idiots or liars isn't what a troll is. Stop obsessing over your patient having a cold while ignoring his cancer, Shades.

P.S. Please nobody say I actually have to explain these mixed metaphors.

Darth, actually Mittens' thread about maklelan is in Celestial rather than terrestrial forum, as are all his current, tedious threads.

I think that Darth might be mentioning this one -

Oh, of course! My misake! Sorry, Darth!

Yes, I am against it. Let's not treat LDSfaqs like the Methodists treated the old man, always insisting he rinse after brushing and no between-meals snacks.

LDSfaqs is a rabble rouser who stirs the board out of a hyper-rational hypnotic state. He helps keep things raw, and active boards need that sort of thing.
