Are you a Serb who fully supports Russia and its genocide against Ukraine?
Why of course - I've already submitted the paperwork for changing my brand and nick to:
"Bike Kremlin."
Only, the word "genocide" is a bit too clear to understand - such communication is apparently not acceptable nowadays.
No sir.
When Russia bombs you, it's called "A special operation."
When the USA bombs you, it's called "A humanitarian intervention."
When Serbia bombs you, it's called "Unarmed Serbian civilians only defending themselves..."
And so on - you get the idea...
if so, if you have dinner for the bombardment of Belgrade, you tell here at once.
Not sure I understand this last reference.
On a more serious note:
I'm a Yugoslav, though nationalists keep trying to convince me that "no longer exists" and that I should "pick a side."
While this song pretty much sums up my thoughts on wars:
Hi @Mason , I may have this wrong, but weren't there a couple of "plainclothes moderators" around here? Meaning that they were disguised as civilians (no Moderator tag). I think that @Ympker said that he was such a plainclothes moderator. Are these plainclothes moderators still around? Or do I have this wrong?
"A single swap file or partition may be up to 128 MB in size. [...] [I]f you need 256 MB of swap, you can create two 128-MB swap partitions." (M. Welsh & L. Kaufman, Running Linux, 2e, 1996, p. 49)
I appreciate the nominations but will have to respectfully recuse myself. Am certain the forum will be in capable hands based on the other names I have seen.

I'd assume most of them are MIA, like me.
Personally, I haven't logged in the moderation area since a long while and I wouldn't even assume I am still "a mod" judging by my moderation activity. Due to lack of time, what I set out to do was to log on mod acc whenever I saw some bs post (offensive language and the like) that needed moderation and intervene. However, it turns out we have some very nice members here so I (almost) never stumbled upon anything like that.
Regardless, I was definitely not an active mod by moderation means (active in the forum more than as a mod), so @Mason@mikho may need people who actually take care of some stuff
I hope the workload hasn't increased too much
There have been lots of good suggestions and I am sure we will find people more active than me.

There was/is a common mod account used by 2(?) members of the community to moderate when @Ant ran the place.
The members who had access to that account were never disclosed by @Ant.
All in the interest that we should treat eachother the same, no matter if you are talking to a moderator or not.
@Mason and I haven’t discussed details but it is a possibilty that we keep using that mod account instead of giving out tags.

@mikho said: @Mason and I haven’t discussed details but it is a possibilty that we keep using that mod account instead of giving out tags.
If I may say so, I'm inclined to think that it's better if a mod has a mod tag so that they can be (easily) recognized
I never really understood the rationale for an admin with an admin tag but for a mod without a mod tag
Yeah, I was never a fan of hiding behind an anonymous mod account. I understand Ant's reasoning for doing that -- preventing targeted abuse/harassment which was surprisingly common on OGF, at least during my tenure. But I think for transparency sake, all actions should be able to be traced back to the moderator that did it.

I agree on that
That's why back then I also stated that I was a mod (even without tag).
Hiding behind an anonymous mod profile is kinda hmm.. (although Ant had his reasons)
The notification back on the old place never worked for me.
And the notification here doesn't alert me at all, either. Someone had to inform me that I was nominated.
lol, wat? What kind of insane dude nominates a troll?

Trolls are the most likely to know this place all around, and where to look for people who don't abide by the rules so no wonder in my opinion.
The first rule of being a troll is being impartial, I must troll everyone fairly whenever they PMS.
Meaning even admins are not exception to my trolling.

That tends to happen if someone edits their posts and adds you tagged later on. No history of edits though (visible to me at least)
