Super Moderators

Paul in Cannon Beach · July 2009

If you click on the "forum leaders" link on the main forum page it takes you to a list of admins and moderators. Kind of cool. You can see which of the MLS staff are online at that particular moment.

But if you scroll down, you find a list of "Super Moderators". Which begs the question? What powers do the super moderators have that moderators and admins do not?

My guess is the title was created to justify giving these individuals more responsibility without an increase in pay. Is that correct, Tony?

Wouldn't it be easier if you just referred to Brad Forrister and Alan King as "Apprentice Moderators", or "Junior Moderators"? They are the only ones who aren't Super.

And isn't it wild that you have TWO Sharon McKnights? What are the odds!? It will be really confusing if the first one passes her SPHR!

You didn't know that I have an alter ego? You know, like Superman and Clark Kent. My disguise is so good, most folks never know which one they're talking to.

Paul in Cannon Beach · July 2009

Well, given you havent posted a profile photo just about any disguise would work. That's a hint by the way.

ACU Frank · July 2009

Generally speaking, your alter ego probably shouldn't have the same name as you. There's a reason why Superman didn't put on a suit and glasses, go to the office and sit at a desk with "Superman the Reporter" printed on the nameplate.

Just a helpful tip...

Paul in Cannon Beach · July 2009

Excellent point Frank. By the way, I remember your alter-egos: WocoFrank and Margaret Morford.

Well I must say then that Frank looked lovely in his blouse, skirt and heels when I heard her, I mean him, speak at our SHRM breakfast last fall!

ACU Frank · July 2009

It is funny you said that, Paul. One of the other managers here read Margaret's book "Management Courage" and told me it sounded like I wrote it. I enjoyed having Margaret active on this forum, because she frequently validated some of my less-commonly-held beliefs.

I think she was also the judge of the Haiku competition.

Paul in Cannon Beach · July 2009

Which you won, correct? I always found that suspicious. If you consider that you and Margaret have never been seen in the same place, it all starts to add up.

Ok, so if you could have an alter ego, who would he/she be most like? Stick to cartoon characters, please. Personally, I'd choose Bugs Bunny? Frank, of course, would have to be Yosemite Sam.

Sorry, but my weary-lined mug would probably shatter your computer screen which is why I try to keep it hidden from little children and folks with a weak stomach. Seriously, when I lived in Atlanta, about a gazillion years ago, I used Blistex on a fever blister. Turned out I was allergic to it and my lip swelled up like a balloon so I really did have to hide from little children. I realized this after I scared some poor little fellow almost out of his pants. Little tyke hid from me behind his mom and bawled like, well, a baby.

My 40 year high school reunion was last weekend. As part of the lead up to the reunion, a website was set up with then and now pics. It was amazing to me how many of my former classmates still look like they're in their 30's and 40's. Must be the miracles of modern medicine. (Or, maybe just twenty year old pictures.)

Frank can't be Yosemite Sam. The suspenders would keep his pants on, and you know how he feels about that.

I was always partial to Betty Boop, but I have to admit I have more in common with Minnie Mouse.

Paul in Cannon Beach · July 2009

Can I be Bart Simpson? Although really I am more like Ned Flanders.

ACU Frank · July 2009

Smug, analytical, a love of history, and no pants.

I'm Mr. Peabody!

Now, who wants to be Sherman?

H-m-m-m, doesn't that description also fit Mr. Ed?

ACU Frank · July 2009

Yeah, but Mr. Ed isn't technically a cartoon.

Very true. And, so sad. Alas, he would have made such a good cartoon character. (You scooted by that one pretty niftily.)

ACU Frank · July 2009

Well, if I was Mr. Ed, at least I could be the whole horse for once.

Now, that made me laugh! Thanks. =D>

That would be as opposed to a Horse's *&@?:angel:

I was operating under the premise of "If you have to explain the joke, it isn't funny."
