Its based on rationality, contribution and a lil bit of popularity.

You have none of these qualities.

Hahaha to both of the above posts.

Ventruss, how old are you out of interest?

actually, darth does contribute a *little*, at least more than the ZERO contributions of many of his peers...

but in all seriousness, if your name doesnt appear on page 1:
www.listal.com/members/view/1/?sortby=points-desc

you won't even be considered. Sorry Tom, you're on page 4. slacker. lol

* correction. there's one guy (our finnish friend) I'd trust as a mod, and he's on page 2. and *maybe* one guy on page 4. :)

As the great Stephen Colbert would say, 'We're in a war! pick a side!'

Listal vs Naruto - the epic battle continues :)

Bael 17 years, 1 month ago at Apr 4 12:30 -
as long as the neutrals have more balls than the combatants...;). however, everyone laughs at darth ventruss now for being from the "evil side" (no pun intended, seeing his avatar *lol*) and asking to become mod, but i think it really would make sense to pick one from them too, lets say Yama. he contributes and really tries to get some sense into the mess that is called random chat.

@prelude: unlike you i've read the naruto mangas and even know the movies, so at least i know how the enemy works, and thats the key to success ;).

Yama is a suck-up and a parasite. Pardon my french. Someone who surrenders their will by constantly lolling with every post they make would get no respect.

He reminds me of Eric Cartman in Wallmart Episode of South Park. He loves Wallmart (Naruto) loads and when his betters go to destroy it, he tags along and pretends to help. When his intention all along is to betray.

Watching that episode would clarify more but my point is, I wouldn't trust him with the responsibility.

The day someone from 'their' side becomes a mod is the day i leave listal. And yes, that includes Yama, the guy who's brain turns into a squirrel's brain (his own admission) and starts posting crap after 2am

if he's the best of the worst, i'd take some random hobo off the train instead.

Bael 17 years, 1 month ago at Apr 4 13:35 -
i don't know what's so crazy about making one of "them" also a mod (of course after fulfilling the same criteria for modship as everybody else). as for me, i don't want to see some kind of discrimination on listal of everybody with an anime/manga-avatar. if someone proves his/her worth to the community he/she should have the same respect and "rights" as everybody else.
Moderator
Seaworth 17 years, 1 month ago at Apr 4 13:45 -
The majority of the naruto fans aren't mature enough to be rational about the powers they will be bestowed. The only discrimination is against age as of present. I can't see a 30 year old taking orders from a 13 year old suicidal baddling naroot.

There is just a strong correlation between having an anime avatar and being really young.

EDIT: This crackdown is only temporary anyway. Once the rules and the baggage have been dealt with, and after a long cool off period, we won't have to worry about all these precautions.

Prelude 17 years, 1 month ago at Apr 4 14:12 -
please, let's not talk about 'rights' and 'respect'. I got a PM lecture from a 12 year old about 'yo bro, ya hafta respectz my rites!!' after i deleted his thread where he started swearing and cussin' like a sailor.

the only people I respect on here are the 'contributors', and I can count on one hand how many kids under 16 actually contribute on this site.
Moderator
Seaworth 17 years, 1 month ago at Apr 4 14:22 -
For future reference, I think the 'Contributors' should be labelled as True Members. Because anyone can contribute to the website (poorly and not) but only certain people genuinely care for this sites longevity and development.

Did that 12 year old tell you how cheesewire works well against the skin?

Bael 17 years, 1 month ago at Apr 4 14:33 -
@antagonist: if i were so damn elite like you i'd ask you what you are even talking about being "really young" (22) and having an anime avatar yourself.

i don't protect all those annoying teenies (who make me cringe at the thought they will be financing my retirement someday...) at all, but i really don't want to see some kind of apartheid here. that would be the point where _i_ would leave listal. what you are doing my friends is called prejudice. not everyone (even from the naruto crowd) is alike.

Seaworth 17 years, 1 month ago at Apr 4 14:42 -
Once again, my Avatar isn't anime it is from the Suikoden Game Series.

I hate having to be harsh to these kids. I know they are only young and naive but what power do we have when text and codes are our only form of communication. People are generally taking the piss with this website. "WoW a new mySPACe."

People actually sign up and then ask what the website is about. Why would you join a website befor knowing what it is for!
VIP
Bael 17 years, 1 month ago at Apr 4 14:59 -
the avatar is clearly anime-style, being from a game or not.

however, i think after all (and i'm quite glad about that fact) only tom will decide what direction this site will go and how and by whom it will be managed (be it by "true members" or "narutards").
Moderator
Seaworth 17 years, 1 month ago at Apr 4 15:10 -
Well I don't plan on changing it constantly. I changed it from my original Avatar (my eye) a few months ago and don' want to get into a habit of changing it everytime someone has a problem with it. It also makes it easier for people to notice who I am.

Seeing as two "True Members" have become moderators it is obvious which direction Tom is going. And yes, Tom's Judgement and decision will always be final but then he has more pressing matters than Groups/Forum monitoring.

i really don't want to see some kind of apartheid here


The site HAS been segregated for the longest time. They stayed in their corner (RC and Anime) and we stayed in ours. By going all gestapo on the pointless threads on their side, it has created two positive effects that I've personally noticed:

1. With pointless threads discouraged and certain 'bad seeds' gone, Random Chat is actually somewhat bearable these days. Sure they still talk about mundane topics and silly OMG LOL chat, but hey, no more baddles and death threats. :)

2. Some members that used to frequent Random Chat are now talking a lot more in rest of groups, about normal topics, and using 'english' to boot! So we're definitely bridging the gap between the two groups. Some have even started doing reviews and custom lists, as well as item ratings (other than naruto 10/10).

so Bael, don't take my 'its a war' talk so seriously. damn that swiss sense of humor. lol

I personally think The Antagonist is one of the anime crew because he has an anime avatar and likes Pokemon. His first crush was Jessie from Team Rocket.

All this talk of war puts the Swiss on edge.

Sounds like you need to prepare for trouble Bael, in fact, make it double.

I'm here to protect the world from devestation. I'd say a good way to tell an anime, other than the avatar, is the top films...your top films are just manly man films TA, so I think you're off the hook. Just look out for Naruto as a top film, anyone who has that as their favourite film deserves to be prejudiced against.
Devious Phenomenon 17 years, 1 month ago at Apr 4 18:40 -
Reading above posts(And ignoring TA) I'd decline even if offered, reasons:
1: I am a teen, you think I am responsible? rofl!
2: What Prelude said, I am normally either really stupid from exhaustion/lack of sleep, or I am really stupid from it being late, mainly due to the thousands of homework assignments I get, as well as projects, taking care of my brother, doing chores and all thatcrap...

and I am distracted at the moment trying to come up with an idea that will get me to have a real vacation for once... instead of helping with spring cleaning *rolls eyes* I hate Spring Break when it comes to that stuff... At least at school I have my friends, here I am stuck for a week with my evil lil brother, my lazy ass father and my overstressed mother! Quite a relaxing atmosphere huh???



Aside from that... that'd mean I'd have to be on a lot, and with my dad being such an ass now, I haven't been on for a week(luckyme, I probably won't be on much of this week either... -__-')
Devious Phenomenon 17 years, 1 month ago at Apr 4 18:42 -
Also, excuse the double post but my comp is going slow right now, how do you delete rated items off your rated list? I accidently rated something cuz my comp froze and I can't get rid of it...

look at it in list mode, click the checkbox, and find the 'delete' option (its in the 'move to' area)

really awkward way to do it, wish there was an easier way. :)

im sorry i wantedto know becuase ever since i found listal i have wanted it to succede. im fifteen and i actualy have a large vocabulary and i am the leader of the trumpets in my school band. i have been trusted with tresponsibility time and time again and i only post on stuff that interests me not on stuff i think is boring. call me naive or whatever you want but i feel that we should all have an oppinion and that who ever is going to mod anime should be some one who can tell teh difference between a fan a fanatic and those that just have a common interest like me. People beleive that becuase im a kid im irresponsible but i've almost finished righting the first book im going to publish and i've helped patch things up betwee anime and other sections of Listal. I understand the reasons why i was not picked as a mod and im not whining. I never wanted a discussion on who should be a mod and who shouldn't but i wanted to know how i could possibly become a mod. and thanks for saying that i have contributed Prelude.
Devious Phenomenon 17 years, 1 month ago at Apr 4 22:13 -
well you can definitely make a big paragraph! Yay theres more people like me here that actually write a lot onposts sometimes!

I am a writer as well I aim to get a few books published too, best of luck to you!

Oh, and to be a mod, just get a LOT of points(Try to get it through reviews and posts, not pictures) and quite a GOOD reputation

and TA, was that sarcasm? I am somewhat suspicious of that comment...

not why i posted. see not all of us think about movies or T.V all the time. Like the USA contributes more co2 emmisions then southamerica africa and asia put together. We need to end this problem. and next year in tenth grade im taking college level classes.
Devious Phenomenon 17 years, 1 month ago at Apr 4 22:27 -
Lolz, I am in the closest thing I can get to college level classes for a 9th grader in a public school, next year I'll see if I can get to a higher part

yeah see though i had to work to get there i have to pass my social studies class right now to get to that level. i don't just take tests or skip a grade to get to where i go. I work to get there
Devious Phenomenon 17 years, 1 month ago at Apr 4 22:33 -
So did I... I had to get straight A's in basic education, straight A's and nothing lower then 90 for the second level and I have to get high grades(86-100) in order to get into the next level, though most of us have low scores becuase it is kinda scary... plus... I am the type that if I have already done it I won't do it again, so the drama unit is killing my english grade, I won't read Romeo and Juliet for the 3rd time... I already know it... I also comprehended it back in 6th grade, but they still think we don't comprehend it...

Devious Phenomenon 17 years, 1 month ago at Apr 4 22:39 -
I hate my classes... the higher the levels I went the more Non-fiction and realism drawing became the main subject

now we write maybe ONE fictional story, at lkeast 40 essays, read at least 10 non fiction books of 180 pages or more in like a week, vocab is Latin roots, and we read maybe 2 fiction/sci fi books... also, the whole system is bogus, and it has too many flaws, plus it has a lotof hipocrisy in it...

as for Art, I don't like realism, so I avoid art now at school... but I am giving it ONE more shot next year ^^
