Everyone Welcome MyGodWearsAHoodie as a new moderator of the Around the NFL section.

- A shocking abuse of power
- Thinking he's better than you
- Talking ill of you in a secret forum


He has earned this right by taking a bunch of crap, yet maintaining professionalism.  Congrats.

No kidding.  Two out of five boards are monitored by anti-dolfans.  We get one more we can organize a coup d'état.

Congrats Hoodie.

A few words of advice to Hoodie, as I pass the torch...

1) Be extremely careful in what you say...moderators are held to higher standards than the normal board member.

2) If you start any contests (like the "Pick the Score" game), please stick with it to the end, rather than letting it fade out halfway through because you get too busy.

Best of luck in your new responsibilities...

And to all, look for my new publication, titled "Wikileaks: The Moderator Agenda"...on sale now at Borders, Amazon, Barnes & Noble and all reputable booksellers. ;)

As they should be.

Yeah..I won't be starting anything too time consuming.  I learned my lesson. 

Speaking of which are the two contests done?  Should I unsticky them?

It's a sad day when a Pats fan is a mod on a Dolphin's forum.

Nope.  Definitely a Patriots fan.  But I don't hate the Dolphins nor the Bills.  Jets, on the other hand can &*().

Welcome to to the underworld.....

A few tips....(the Dirt)

1.) You're number 8 in the toilet paper rotation,you need to bring a 4 pack of toilet paper when we get low,when it's your turn...Maine's missed his rotation the past couple of times, and Dave brought a huge Costco box of that cheap commercial grade shit in the mean time...It's like sandpaper...

2.) The light switch in the Moderator's bathroom has a short in it,so be careful after you wash your hands,it will shock the hell out of you...

3.) After you put in your pass code into the lock in the secret lair,You might have to jiggle the handle to get it to open....

4.) The vending machines in the moderator's lounge never give change,so it's best to use exact change....I think CF has lost a small fortune on those damn things.....We need to call the guy to fix those again...I'll do it here in a few minutes

5.) Avoid the Donuts at all cost, they're horrific,old as dirt...

6.) I kept losing the my key to the super secret vault of info about the agenda,Dave's warned me like a hundred times,that If I lose another I'm gone...Don't lose your key....It pisses Dave off to no end....

7.) the Moderators lounge really kept really cool,the couch is really comfortable to take naps on....Bring a blanket though....

It should be "You're new around the NFL moderator".  Regards, the grammar nazi

Maybe you can help them with this stuff, Hoodie.

Incorrect.
Dave had it right. Dave is introducing him to you as YOUR new mod, not your old mod.

If directed to everyone its your.

If the post was directed specifically to me, it would be you're....but it is also then missing a "the"

Alright, you don't have to jump all over me.  It could work either way.


Title: Re: Congrats Hoodie - Your new "Around the NFL" Moderator.
Post by: Spider-Dan on December 29, 2010, 01:20:10 am
No, it could not work either way.

"You are new 'Around the NFL' Moderator" does not make sense (unless you are a Japanese tourist).  Presuming that the statement is addressed to Hoodie, it would have to be either:

"You are a new 'Around the NFL' Moderator"
or
"You are the new 'Around the NFL' Moderator"

In contrast, "Your new 'Around the NFL' Moderator" does make sense when addressed to the forum membership as a whole.

He is teaming with Hoodie as a moderator of the Around the NFL forum.

No one is jumping all over you. But, if you're going to take the time to point out someone's grammar, then you need to make sure that you're 100% correct before you do so. Otherwise, you're going to look very foolish and people will correct you.

Additionally, no, it can't work either way. You can't use "you're" instead of "your" and vice-versa - they are not interchangeable. Just remember, "you're" = "you are".

As usual, it takes a team of men to adequately replace me... ;)

It would have only taken one woman. ;D  I kill me!

^^^ Shoot, it took more than one woman last night alone.

Oh wait, what were we talking about again? ;)

Midgets are half the size as regular women, so it still equals out to one.

One might scratch their noggin a bit over the idea that a thread about the new moderator(s) for the "Around the NFL" section doesn't belong in the "Around the NFL" section.

Rule number 1....DON'T MAKE A PATS/JETS/BILLS FAN A MODERATOR ON A DOLPHINS FORUM!!!

(no offense Hoodie...you have to be the most tolerable Pats fan I've encountered, but there is something wrong with this).

I understand its different but, that's why its the "Around the NFL" section...

Giants and niners aren't in our division and aren't bitter rivals.  However, I made my point, so I'll stop.

At the risk of touching off a mass flaming again, here is what threw me:
Congratulations Hoodie (directed towards Hoodie), Your new mod (directed towards the board).  It should have been "Congratulate Hoodie, your new mod" or "Congratulations Hoodie, you're the new mod".  I'm old, I confuse easily.

Now back to the midgets...
