Subject: Thoughts on the ninja system as a whole / ninjas are members too

You look around.You fire your weapon before you realize.
Its just me. I fall and you walk up. You cry why.
When i pop up. You look at me in wonder. I say,"ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL."
You bend to my will and go to a cliff, walk off, and fall.
The last thing you hear is me stating as fact,"All will fail the battle of life, you just went early"

They earn respect becuase of the way they post and act, not becuase of some insignificant title on a forum.

They were selected when the Web Team noticed we needed more mods. They're pretty cool, you know. Smart guys, know their stuff, and can argue pretty well. I wouldn't treat them any differently than another member, cept to call em a pegboy.

Forum ninjas are just like us, except they know Grammar.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

They don't just win the Ninja title like a prize at the carnival. The Bungie Webteam had to choose each of them, which means they are already of good standing, and deserve respect.

Obviously they're members too. They don't have to moderate but they do. My respect is handed out to the individual though, not the "rank". That being said, I appreciate what they do here.

Not with a bang but a whimper.

While I may disagree with the specific decisions of some of the ninjas (my dissent usually gets passed off as not having the entire picture, which may be true), they do a generally good job of maintaining order here on B.net. We don't have many shock sights popping up (I think I've seen one in the 4+ years I've been here) and spam is actually relatively low. The credit for this is certainly due to the ninjas themselves, not just the title.

They're users too.

You can't really think of them collectively as no two are alike.

Agreed!

I think only once in my history here have I messaged a ninja about a ban that I saw happen when I thought it was totally unfair. It didn't get it overturned but They were nice enough to listen to what I had to say.

Everyone earns my respect, it isn't a question of their position, hence why there are Ninjas whom I respect more than others, it's the same with anyone on this site or in reality.

This is something i haven't been here long enough to understand... by web team do you mean achro picked them all or was it the entire web team that makes ninja decisions as a whole.

if anyone knows for sure that is.

I don't always ban people but when I do I laugh uncontrollably...that's if I was a Forum Ninja.

Truth is a matter of perception.

The Button

Don't forget they also bribe their way into becoming a Ninja.

OT: I usually take a Ninja's post more seriously than I do other members. They usually post on-topic and they bring up good points/experiences. That's not to say they don't post sarcastic remarks.

They wouldn't be Ninjas without meeting stringent prerequisites.

Therefore, they earn their respect but I favourably treat all members regardless of their title.

The ninjas nominate people they think would make good Mods but it's Achronos who has the final say on who makes the cut.

Hello, I'm Mr AwesomePizza. I like pizza and I'm a man. Reasoning for the name. I like to listen to the classics of music, write poetry, play video games, and much much more. I'm always down for a nice chat, so please hit me up for some conversation.

The Ninjas are like regular members, except they can hurt you or help you. They're cool, and can really help you out if you're confused about something, or if you need help with a problem you're having with the site. They also ban the rule breakers, so that earns my respect. They're like me and you, just more power.

Thats another thing worth bringing up\
Topics maybe by ninjas are usually very informative or great for debate. They never post any topics unless they are important, or purposefully trying to be funny.

On the Left

Godshatter: I can go all the way with someone without being attracted to them.
CamCamm: How does that work?
Godshatter: I'm easily aroused by anything that moves. It's a curse.
Brain says 'No, that's ugly', body says 'ugly is fine with me'.

I dont have issues with any Ninjas, they all are like us in the sense.

And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

I think that in most cases the title itself is proof enough that they are worthy of it. Ninja is not just given after a long time of being here, the title of ninja is earned, and we should respect the title.

Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

When it comes to typical forum discussions (which is 99% of my posting. Posting, not forum activity) I consider myself another member. When it comes to my enforcement of the rules, that is completely separate from my interaction with my fellow members.

I have never used the play of "Shut up dude, I have power here and that means my opinion is correct" while in a discussion. Such a statement or attitude would be illogical, silly and would make me unsuitable for the job. I believe that all of my colleagues, to one extent or another, understand that difference and we all do our best to avoid that particular trap of power.

It's why I have used Coup as an anti-coup and made my forum appearance (for those who use the script, I don't, I've turned the bloody thing off in order to save my eyes and sanity) as close to a basic member as possible. I personally don't like standing out because of a title bar or colored text. If something that I SAY stands out, if my personality and/or persona is memorable, I can live with that, but I don't want to be known, respected, feared, or to have any recognition simply because of a checkbox setting that an admin made to my account.

I am very unchanged (personality-wise) from when I first posted on these forums. That may be hard to believe for some, but try to understand, I was 39 when I created this account. I had long since gone through the changes of adolescence and of young adulthood. This is me, this is who I am, this is how I act, and ninja or not, I couldn't be anyone else. I am flattered and always a bit humbled that our hosts have said "be yourself and if you see bad things, here's the ability to do something about them".

So this ninja? I am a member. The badge, the belt and the hardware dangling from the belt? They are not who I am, they are just something that I do when I think something needs doing. But I am still me, with or without the trappings. I couldn't be anyone else.
