Hi All,
Following a little chat with Oddson, we figured that some of the current forum moderators have been doing it for a long time now, and maybe have other, more interesting, things to do with their lives these days! So I contacted Malc about letting those guys have a bit of a rest from keeping you lot well behaved! 😉
So, I am now your newest and greenest forum moderator.
I guess most of you know me (and my drunken Friday night posts!) well enough to know that I ain't going to be some kind of kill-joy nanny; but I'm here to help if you think you notice anything dodgy going on, or you have a few (please only a few!!!) posts in need of a bit of tidying.
PS) This is all a bit new to me - the moderator control panel looks a bit scary! If any of the current mods have any helpful hints, I'd be grateful for any advice via PM.

Good luck Luddite!
A good idea and the unavoidable result of your omnipresence! 😉

As long as you keep it out of the Quran discussions, I think you'll be fine.

😀 😀 Great!! Congratulations!
Trog' posts remaind me lectures of my best high college' professors. (Moscow Engineering and Physical Institute).
So some suggestions:
- compulsory phys/math exams for all members;
- more fundamental posts about brown ale and dry red wine as important components of DSP;
- hard censorship for all posts so only main words as "it", "is/are", "SM", and "sound" should stay.

Not completely useless - In fact, I think I should use my new 'super-powers' to make that post a 'sticky' on the 'genera'l forum - it is very important to remind obsessive programmers about the the existence of food...

...and to remind them that variety is the spice of life. Talking only of programming can get very boring - it is good to have a 'play area' (off topic) where we can bore each other to death about other things too! 😉
And before anyone else points it out - I know I am a bit of a sod for feeding the trolls sometimes - but hey, even serial killers get a last meal before their execution!
Like a cat, I enjoy playing with my quarry before I go in for the kill! 😈

-Maths exams - oh dear, I think I should get my coat and go home - I am not even fit to be called a beginner compared to you (and cyto, and martinvicanek, and... etc. etc.)
-Brown ale/Red Wine fundamentals - oh dear, what has become of the education system these days? Surely any person clever enough to be making plugins (and of the appropriate age, of course), would recognise the fundamental and essential link between DSP design and good old C2H5OH! As long as it is consumed in moderation (ha ha).
Naturally, I only consume in excess in order to be a valuable example to others of it's possible deleterous effects!
-Censorship - my only rule regarding this, is that I will not tolerate any posts that clearly demonstrate that the poster is cleverer than I am!

"it's" - really that's terrible, this person should be banned by the 'grammar police' for such an abomination!

Hopefully you are running two monitors one for SM and one for the forum, that way you can still get some code done. Could not have picked a better person for this. Now where is part 4 on the triggers tutorials. Cracks whip. 😈 Just kidding take your time.
As far as forums go this one feels just like home. So great job and cheers to all past and departing moderator's.

Ah, you know me too well - the SM forum is what netbooks were invented for!

A special thankyou is deserved by Andrew J . We don't hear so much from him on the forum these days - but I discovered that he has been quietly working away 'behind the scenes' making sure that the spammers get promptly dealt with - how about that for dedication!?!
