64K · May 18, 2017

Pretty level headed bunch selected that have demonstrated that they care about the well-being of this site over the years.
:toast:

FreedomEclipse · May 18, 2017

Well, i knew i wouldn't be selected in the first place. But nothing venture nothing gain.

jboydgolfer · May 18, 2017

It figures you picked three people I have set to ignore :shadedshu:

Firstly, I would like to thank the 38 volunteers for coming forward, there were some really strong candidates in there.

All the mods have been discussing the candidates, producing short lists and voting for 3 positions, it has been completely democratic and in my opinion....... fair, in many ways it's as hard saying no to 35 as it is to select 3 but after 2 days we got there in the end, therefore I am delighted to announce the selected new moderator candidates as follows (in no particular order).................

@Norton
@Kursah
@infrared

Congrats to all 3 of you, apologies to the 35 who did not quite make it this time. Our new boys will soon see a change to their titles where they will then be able to stroll into the Mod Lounge and between them start a welcome thread where we can start the painful initiation process!

Obviously there was some kind of meddling in the election by the Russians. Some kind of collustion between @Norton and the ruskies. I DEMAND a special investigation.

On a side note I knew there was ZERO chance for me. I just wanted to come up in the mod lounge lol.

Congratulations! 3 very level-headed people whom I respect. :toast:

I can confirm that no sexual favours were traded during the election process

Congrats to the new mods.

JATownes · May 18, 2017

Congrats guys! GREAT choices in my humble opinion!

dorsetknob · May 18, 2017

Congrats to the three of you
ps this is wasted art work then

Kursah · May 18, 2017

I'm extremely honored to have even been considered, let alone been chosen! Wow. To be honest, I initially read that post as I was a "top 3 finalist". LOL. Now that I've fully processed WTF is going on, seems I may have been granted some mod abilities here on TPU. Right on!

I look forward to continuing to be an active member trying to help others where I can, and helping to keep TPU the best online community period! :lovetpu:

Congrats guys. :toast:

the54thvoid · May 18, 2017

Why the f*ck was I not chosen? I've got awesome language skillz like, dick chomper and spaz hard. I'm so unbiased (Vote Nvidia for Prez) and I never have arguments with anybody, mostly, but sometimes - you bastards. What the monkeys ass hat, c'mon - have at me you keyboard heroes.

I wanted to ban myself goddamit! I wanted self flagellation. :nutkick:

Seriously though - good call on those three. :toast:

just wanted to take a moment to recognize those that made The tough decision & for the time taken to arrive at it. Im sure it wasn't easy( there were several others that I would've considered very capable and fitting). For what it's worth I think you made a good call .
