Subject: How did moderators become moderators

STOP EXPLODING YOU COWARDS!

Well first off what do moderators do (except for annoy us every now and then). And also how did they become moderators.

We enforce the rules Bungie has made for the forums, while keeping everything as organized as possible. We also deal with idiot users such as davester88 that can't tell when they should grow up.

In the near future we'll be given the responsibility of banning problem users, to save time on taking care of the messes they make.

We became moderators because Bungie asked us to volunteer our time to help them out.

I had this exact same topic the first day I joined b.net, with the exact same title.

Freaky.

Shishka's avatar and his name are a clever play on words if you haven't already put 2 and 2 together. Just like Bungie, hidden backstory and easter eggs.


What is this play on words you speak of. Or can you not tell

You speak as if there's a problem with more than one person. There's not. It's all davester88.

Well, they said Shishka's avatar is an enhanced BoB, so is his play on Shishka-BoB?

Makes sense to me.

Thank you for being useful Shishka. How many times has Davester been banned anyway? I think he's trying to break BloodPotato's record.

The second H rule? Simply put, it's to remind you that there are two H's in "Shishka." Almost everyone forgets the second H.

Sorry, i was just typing fast and missed the "h"

P.S. No matter how many times we ask, Shishka won't tell us why he uses that name. So i'm gonna assume I'm right with my idea ;)

Give us sometime, and I don't think to many mods will tell you why they chose that perticular name.

Actually, you were dead on, I'm just giving everyone a hard time.

When I played Marathon with my friends all the time back in the 8th grade, I had the habit of going for the BOBs as though they were players, even though they were completely harmless. Thus the bad joke "Shishka-BOB" was born, and it became my nickname. Over time, the "-BOB" dropped and it's been Shishka ever since.

Have you ever seen the "Back to the Future"s? Funny movies

Shishka this and Shishka that, he's a mod and you're not, lol. Sorry that was bad, but I'll just leave that remark in this post.

Anyways the Mods are Mods because:

#1= They were members of bungie for some time
#2= They aren't stupid (and other variations of this symptom, lol)
#3= They spend quite some time on B.net
#4= They're names were drawn from a hat, oops that was top secret, lol.

Yea every last one of those #'s are why the Mods are Mods, except maybe #4, but I'm not positive, lol

And Shishka is your avatar the Terminator?

In case Shishka doesn't get to your question, I'll try to answer. His avatar is an enhanced BoB. It's from the Marathon series, some old-school Bungie games. BoB stood for Born On Board, for the crew of the Marathon who were born during it's multigenerational flight.

The enhanced BoB's were pretty cool, sorta "cyborg-lite" compared to the main character of the game, the always mysterious Security Officer. A chapter picture from Marathon can be found [color= white]here.[/color] That's the security officer on the left with what looks like a fighter-pilot helmet. You should already recognize the guy in the foreground.

Shishka's avatar and his name are a clever play on words if you haven't already put 2 and 2 together. Just like Bungie, hidden backstory and easter eggs.


Thanks for explaining. I've never played marathon, his avatar just kinda looked like the guvahnuh
