I have 10 years of experience on kdice, as well as almost 20 on gpokr, including multiple 1st place finishes. Most importantly, I have the respect of the community and a good relationship with other mods such as annat, who will vouch for me.

I will follow-up with you on Discord.

not louis cypher and not joey44! tyvm

and not dave h and not gauntlet and many others more .

somebody who is wearing an i love zoid baseball cape is not trustable to do this job! think about that!

I'd attempt to be an impartial mod that simply wants the game to grow and people to be nice.

But honestly I don't feel like we "need" mods.

Please, whatever you do, do not nominate mods that make it personal or get off on vendettas. We don't need another jurgen. We've had a bunch of great mods that we're fair and didn't make it personal.

I hear all you guys loud and clear. In the small spaces between your words you are all screaming BAMMBI for mod. And with me having more reviews than any other player my pedigree is insurmountable. But, alas I have to turn down your deafening pleadings. I have other things to do and I may just disappear for another 6 years at any point. My sincere apologies to my many fans and acolytes.

I am not going to discuss names in public here. There is hardly an experienced player that doesn't have mutual reception from the community.

Some things are important imho:
- long term experience
- no history of bans, pge, pga, ...

We do need mods. The pure presence makes behavior better. You can notice that the very few times a known mod just watches a table. The ranting, cursing, revenging and other shit gets less.

I don't think having won medals is important. Often top positions do need some sort of support to reach and defend them. That might be a problem for a mod, but not a knock-out criterium to me as people change and develop.

Most important, we do not need just ONE mod. Power corrupts character. We've seen that here and on many other occasions. We need SEVERAL mods that can control each other. They don't need to discuss every decision, but if one of them goes nuts, and we've had examples of that, it is good to have others to counteract weird activities (and to report them to you). Furthermore, having more mods you have less work for each one. Given the proxy-phase, no single mod could ban all of those. There was work done, but not enough. More mods would have been better.

So, whomever you choose, make it several mods. In that case it is not that bad if one of them takes a break or another gets strange ideas - there is a remaining group that might be replenished.

My 0,02€ on this topic for the time being.

I vote myself for mod. I’m good on telling people off on the hate speech rule.
