Next time you need to cut your nails!
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

^^^ This. A hundred million times this.

I for one didn't have to do anything special to get selected for Mod status; apart perhaps from earning some little respect from those who decided I was worthy of the position. I merely logged in one morning to find a private message from Tiberius inviting me to the team.

Precisely my experience, with the exception that I think it was Shell B, not Tiberius who extended the offer, over 5 years ago now.

I merely logged in one morning to find a private message from Tiberius inviting me to the team. I had no expectation that the day would be any different to any other. Nor did I then, and nor do I now, have any knowledge of the discussions that took place behind the scenes that prompted the invitation.

If Mario has any evidence to support his insinuations of corruption, I want him to present it. Out here in public, the way he made his allegations.

Wait!

Are you saying that BJ had nothing to do with my selection as a mod??

Huh

Wait, I'm pretty sure I missed out on that. Tongue

Yes.

This was my experience, too.  I wasn't after a staff job and didn't even know I was in contention until the invitation arrived.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
