Please welcome two new moderators!

[Penguin_ie 5,994]

I am very happy to let you all know that we have two new moderators on the team- well, 1.5 new ones

GandD, previously modding the lower/ off topic forums only, is now a full/ Global Moderator. They did a great job with the sometimes heated discussion in CEHST forum, and will still concentrate on that area of VJ, but now have full moderator privileges, and can help out in the immigration forums when TOS violations are reported there.

A&B has been an active and level headed Organiser for some time, making VJ a better place by moving threads where they get the most answers, and removing spam- their contribution to VJ have been great. We are very happy to have them on the moderating team as a full Global Moderator!

Please give them a few days to settle in, and as always, remember that moderators are members first, simply experienced ones with extra abilities on the site to make it better for everyone! They should be afforded the same courtesy and politeness as you give everyone else.

Two good choices imo! Both are fair and logical.

Congrats to you both!

Sometimes a little of this goes a long way.

Actually I wasn't in jail. I stopped posting due to what the forum has become. And I just popped in today to share my wife's Citizenship interview information. We were in town yesterday, Back Bay Station is still a filthy mess and the Orange Line will always be the Orange Line.

Ah ok, I was given conflicting reports on your whereabouts. Slumming in Beantown should've been my first guess.

Yah, not suspended, just tired of favoritism. I posted in the Citizenship forum about my wife's interview. Hopefully it will be helpful to someone here. Did you ever notice that the farther underground you go on the T, the weirder the people?

wth? I have to be courteous and polite now? Really? No Way !

But Seriously - Congrats, fellas ! It's always nice to see new mods here that have chinese wives...

[NikLR 13,227]

Now that it's off topic already

Congrats to GandD and A&B!!

Thank you all for the kind words. I am relatively certain that there will certainly be the other kind....soon enough....

BTW, I have changed by VJ nom de plume to Pitaya, after ~4 years.

Cheers.

Is it a bad sign that the first action of a new moderator is to change their name on VJ?

Dunno, but since you brought it up. Is it? I wasn't looking at it like that.
