As stated, MODERATORS cannot delete, ban etc but SUPER MODERATORS can. Watch what you do carefully please ok?
Duh, I realised that, perhaps you should read my post a bit more carefully before leaping on the defensive.

I posit that the very nature of doing something good necessitates its openess to criticism. We also all live in the present, and improvement is only possible by subjecting our continuous performance to criticism. A big part of life is adapting our individual selves to humans' social nature and a world of poly-personalities and heterogeneous ideologies.

It's important that everyone at some point (or even better, at many points) in his or her life attempts to move away from situations where they find themselves craving, and requiring, uniquivocal acceptance of their actions and ideas. I'm not saying this to be condescending or patronizing: opportunities for maturity in this form exist throughout our lives - the people who are receptive to that notion, recognize it to the greater extent, and on more occasions than others, are consequently more likely to "succeed.'

Once you stop viewing criticism as personally offensive, and instead as a form of help, you'll find there is no end of people offering to help you.

My only objection to Krumlink being a moderator is whether due care for his own interests have been taken into consideration in a holistic sense. For the most part involvement or moderation in this forum doesn't do much to help any of us get better grades, do better at our jobs, or socialize with the real people in our immediate lives. Those are all important things to each of us, and should be balanced against our activity here, which for the most part is leisurely and entertainment-oriented. True, there are nuggets of wisdom on occasion, and it might improve your writing, or you might even get a chance to network with a handful of people, but obsessing about:
- what people you've never met think about you, or;
- finding a solution to an electronics issue;
at the expense of your personal health is a big, big mistake.

I think we should all ask ourselves, "Do I..."
- eat proper meals daily?
- get to sleep early enough on a regular basis?
- interact in a friendly manner with the real people in my immediate life?
- know how to deal with stress, and what to do or who to talk to when I don't?

And say to ourselves, "Maybe I should stop..."
- drinking caffeinated beverages, etc?
- cutting class or work to pursue my hobbies?
- presuming I'm unable to interact with people because there's some fault with them?
- missing out on life because I'm sat in front of a computer for more than a couple hours daily?

Hmn ? So, in other words it's good to have a little friction in your life and like a new shoe rubbing against the heel forms a blister afterword

a callous = benefit.

I don't come to this site to hear little kid moderators swear.
The little kid should be banned each time the little kid swears.

He is still a kid, so I want to give him a chance. But if he won't put his act together(correct his behavior), something has to be done. Competition or not.

Well the competiton will be very analog based, so if audioguru wants to prove that he's not scared of a bit of competiton in his own field, submit to the competiton! Great prizes will be awarded so I would join if I were you. Robot's have nothing to do with it.

When I first noticed that Krumlink had been promoted to moderator, I thought that the webmaster had been smoking some weird sh1t but now I realise it's only for the competition forum so it's not that bad.


Ah, where did I target you again? Fixed mix up of posts sorry bout that.

You don't seem to get that I DO NOT MODERATE ANYTHING, I only have access to:

More messages sent
Moderator Chat Forum
Competiton Forum Manager

Do you see know how I fit the bill? If you look before you leap it helps.

EDIT: Condensed all threads together

Krumlink let me give you an advice...


concentrate to your job and do your best.. can you do that? stop paying attention and answering to our comments other than the ones specific to the competition...

unless you want everything to be blown.

Hardly anybody is entering the competition. A couple of robots.

I think there should be a separate forum for little kids. Then they can swear at each other and act stupid.
