DLOW for Sherrif :-P
Jun 5 2011, 3:59 PM EDT | Post edited: Jun 5 2011, 3:59 PM EDT
So, I guess it's come around (I know I'm behind) to campaign time.

I suspect that there will be hard campaigning for a position of authority on a website. Personally, I'm not a big politics guy, never really know what to say. I really only got interested in being a mod after a mod came to me and suggested I might be good for the position... partially because of how I handle things, partially because of the hours I'm typically active on the wiki/chat.

All I can say about what type of mod I would try to be is fair... Really we should be able to resolve issues for ourselves and shouldn't have to have someone oversee everything we do.
If anyone has questions, I guess they will go here... I doubt I will send many PM campaign messages, I find the idea of campaigning hard for a position that has little bearing on anything outside the wiki a little excessive. I have a lot on my plate, and don't think I really should have the job if enough people don't already think I'm right for it.

Careful, you might be surprised by how many people think you ARE right for it. You're one sheriff I won't shoot!

Lol, it probably will surprise me, Abu... I always manage to underestimate my popularity. Comes from sitting at the nerd table in school :-P

Thanks everybody for the luck, good luck to all those other candidates floating around out there too!

So, I have succesfully faded into politacal obscurity, time to spring from the shadows again lol.
Seriously, it's just been a busy couple weeks for me. Now, I've seen a lot of back and forth, campaigning, and questioning from the forums. I'm glad to see everyone taking so active a part in this.

I've said from the get go, that I only signed up because I was told I would be good for the job and I saw a SERIOUS need.

What do I bring to the table??

Fairness - - I want everyone to stay, so I almost always try to make peace with the trolls at first, and I usually try to disarm arguements when others are going at it. I also agree with DN that a mod should discipline anyone he's arguing with.
Common sense - I grew up on farms and ranches, have worked all my life, and have a college degree in an investigations field...
Bluntness - I have absolutely 0 trouble calling BS or asking questions if something seems fishy.
Activity - I'm not the most active person on the wiki or IRC... But I'm about the only regular user who is on during the day, 4 or 5 days a week. Seems to me that we need someone at those times because troll fighting seems to be a 24 hour job lol
Leadership experience and training - JROTC, and USMC - achieved 2nd Lt. I've also been an hourly and salaried supervisor in the retail field and two factories. I know this seems like something that doesn't matter alot, but it kind of tells you why I feel that a positon of authority to help run the wiki is a good fit

Really, there is a lot more in terms of knowledge of anatomy, forensics, anthropology, armour, self sufficiency, weapons technique, and sociology. I could go on all day, but it kinda feels like bragging on the internet.
Basically, I've been here for almost two years and I want to see the wiki continue to grow.

I'm no mod, but I'd be all for that. I (like everyone else) have had a ridiculous amount of trouble with Wetpaint. Do you find this valuable?

Hi, I'm Tony, but on this site I'm known as DDMP. And I endorse DLOW for modship. If you want fair thread management, excellent content additions, and trolls eradicated, you should be like me, and vote for DLOWTHEMAD; because DLOW is a Marine, and there is no challenge a Marine can't handle!

He has impressed me with his intelligence, level-headedness, and wit in the time that I have known him.

I don't mind at all... I like to just let the endorsements from respected members just pile up!! XD

Btw, I appreciate that carnack, we don't always see eye to eye. The respect of a person with opposed views says alot.
