Two new moderators announced

[Jeremy]

I have promoted two of our more active and consistent members to 'Moderator' status. Many of you will recognize monkeybrow and ISUFan22 simply by their usernames so I won't take the time to talk about them in depth. To answer any questions about how one goes about becoming a member and being able to post things to the frontpage automatically, I have included my general guidelines for becoming a moderator...

The factors I use when deciding who to give moderator powers to are very simple and straightforward. Below are the general rules I use when deciding if somebody should be a moderator:

1. Length of membership and consistency of visiting the site.
2. Number and quality of posts and interactions.
3. Overall consensus from members that the person is a benefit to the site.
4. Does not use vulgar or offensive language or suggestions.
5. Has been creative and/or informative with posting editorial or opinion pieces.

That's it. There are no magic rules to being a moderator and there are no ins or outs with regards to becoming a mod. I don't promote people that only I agree with, I try to be balanced and give people moderating powers as I feel they contribute to the well being of the site or ISU Athletics.

[ISUFan22]

Tom Witosky is working on a story right now that will be published in tomorrow's Register.

Illegal moderation? The Cyclones have gone Fanatic.

Tom things CF does not conduct enough research on the backgrounds of their moderators - mainly the two recent additions. When searching his rectum for a lost item from a late night escapade, Witosky found some crap on these two - monkeybrow is really Nancy Clark in a very good disguise and ISUFan22 is a sheep-loving communist.

Witosky will go on to report CF should be interviewing new moderators at least 23 times before promotion, while at the same time conducting vigorous background checks to include, but not restricted to: urine/blood/stool samples, searching their residence, speaking to co-workers, contacting long-lost relatives and interviewing pets.

As a result of these infractions by CF, Witosky is petitioning the NCAA to punish the Cyclone athletic department to the fullest extent.

Forcing them to watch re-run episodes of Full House during half-time of each home game.
