With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

As for Face Dancer XI, well, you get to make fun of him, lol. And honestly Shai, why do you have a snake as an avatar?
Don't worry, Josher. I love you, too.
Is there really a need for the [/sarcasm] in saying this?
And to be fair, I did use a snake emblem for a time. And everyone yelled at me for it. Now I have a little galaxy-shaped thing that works pretty well.
Now, back on topic:

Gentlemen, we've got trolls.
Right, but not only are these threads regarding modship trollish, it's also spam. There are places in the rules and FAQs of the forums where it already says how the mods were picked. If people don't want to read the rules, then they don't deserve to be on the site. Hell, these threads don't even belong in the Septagon! They do nothing for the community. Nothing. It just adds to the terrible amount of clutter that this site acquires.
To make the rules regarding mods more clear, I agree with with Ash, Rainman, and Iceman; there should be a stickied thread regarding Moderators. Something everyone should notice before they make a thread asking how to become a moderator, or the general kiss-ass words of crap.
Threads like the ones in question should be locked or deleted. They are spam. I don't really see why moderators persist in having them open. Most moderators loathe the attention, and hate being kissed up to.
I'm actually beginning to wonder if some of the mods keep the kiss-ass threads around because they like it. The moderators who decide to give so much as a witty reply to ass-kissing or threads that bait them seem to be guilty of this. Not that it's really something bad to be "guilty" of, but it shows a rather large ego in them, which to me is not admirable (but people seem to admire it anyway). Hell, some mods even make threads that bait attention itself!
Whether they like having their precious egos boosted or not (only the mods who actually seem to like it), I think they need to ignore those threads at the very least. Maybe locking is unnecessary, but for crying out loud, why do you even reply to threads that are obviously baiting you to do just that?
