Please welcome the latest member of the moderating team

[The Saucepan Man]

I am delighted to announce that mormegil has accepted an invitation to join the Barrow-Downs moderating team.

He will be responsible for moderating the Quiz, Quotes and Mirth forums.

While I will remain a moderator of those forums, I am likely (in consequence of RL committments) to be spending less time on the Downs in the future. Accordingly, mormegil will take the lead in moderating them, with support from me.

So, congratulations mormegil on your well-deserved appointment and welcome to the team! :)

[Mithalwen]

Well done Morm..... a well deserved honour and a splendid choice...bold type will suit you :D

[Meneltarmacil]

Congratulations on becoming a mod, morm! You've certainly earned it. Well done. :D

I must say, of all the things that could have happened, I wasn't expecting this, but it's a good thing, nonetheless.

[Anguirel]

morm in a position of power?

(Anguirel beholds the stake, rack and other torture instruments at the ready.)

Ummm...Sam's quite nice really, isn't he? And I recant my Feanorianism! I do! I do! Honest!

[Diamond18]

Congratulations on the distinction, Morm. And good luck with the task! No, that is not evil laughter you hear in the background and no one is plotting ways to make it a difficult one. Really.

[Folwren]

Yay for morm! Three cheers for the new Mod! Congratulations and good luck.

(Yes, Anguirel, Sam is quite nice.)

[Bêthberry]

Hmm. Could this have anything to do with morm's determined defense of the Minor Works? :D

A good choice! Welcome and good luck.

I sure hope the spammers don't take this opportunity to haze the new mod or anything.

[alatar]

Congratulations!

May all of your posters behave.

[Oddwen]

Hey, cool! Congrats to Mister morm. :D:D:D

[mormegil]

Thank you all. I look forward to this opportunity with great excitment, though I will miss SpM's involvement.

May all of your posters behave.

I sure hope the spammers don't take this opportunity to haze the new mod or anything.

Please everybody listen to the well behaved Alatar.

I truly appreciate all the support and hope that I can do as good a job as Saucie has done. :D

[Child of the 7th Age]

Morm,

Best wishes and good luck! I'll look forward to working with you in chasing the commercial spammers out of Mirth. :D

SpM

Glad you'll still be hanging in there as a co-mod.

[The Only Real Estel]

I must say, of all the things that could have happened, I wasn't expecting this, but it's a good thing, nonetheless.

My words exactly.

Morm,

Best wishes and good luck! I'll look forward to working with you in chasing the commercial spammers out of Mirth. :D

SpM

Glad you'll still be hanging in there as a co-mod.

And the rest of them also. :D

Congrats...

[Kath]

Hey congrats morm!

I would say no using your new powers to help with our little werewolf vendetta, but I know you wouldn't anyway. :D

[the guy who be short]

Well done mormy! You definitely deserve the job, and I hope you get used to it and enjoy it quickly.

I will, however, miss the ever-humorous input of SpM. A wonder job well done over the years I've been here, Saucey.

[Lalaith]

I add my humble congratulations to the pile. Well deserved, Mr Mage.

[alatar]

Please everybody listen to the well behaved Alatar.
Am I already being modded, a priori?

[Glirdan]

Yay morm!! I always knew that you were going to be in a position of power!! :rolleyes: Well done! You deserve this!

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Congratulations Morm

Well deserved indeed.

Minor Characters Rules !

[Nogrod]

Well deserved indeed.You mean Morm deserves to do more work? Lazy is he in your view? :)

But surely. Congrats Morm! I believe you are the right person for the job.

And a deep bow to Spm!

[wilwarin538]

Congrats Morm! You deserve it and I'm sure you'll do a splendid job! :D

[Formendacil]

You do realize, Master Moderator Mormegil, that this means that you have to bring back the monkey scholar avatar? A gun-wielding monkey simply inspires the wrong image amongst us lowly users- making us fear for a dictatorial, force-wielding Moderator, rather than a benevolent father figure (as personified in the other monkey avatar).

Yes, that is correct... I really like scholar monkey better.

Oh, and congratulations and all that... :p

[Valesse]

And here I've been imagining you were a mod the entire time!

Congratulation morm! Though I agree with Formendacil. The gunster-gibbons* gotta go. :D
* I know it isn't a gibbon. I'm just a sucker for alliteration. :(

[Mister Underhill]

Well done mormy! You definitely deserve the job, and I hope you get used to it and enjoy it quickly.

I will, however, miss the ever-humorous input of SpM. A wonder job well done over the years I've been here, Saucey.Word to both of these sentiments! A hearty welcome aboard to morm, who I trust will do a fine job in his new role (even if you can't lynch the average recalcitrant poster); and a hearty job well done to Sauce, who has shepherded his fora with wit, style, fairness, and grace.

[Durelin]

*much applause*

I suggest you have fun with your power...just not too much. And have fun with it over there. *points to somewhere far away from herself* ;)

And ah, how the Sauce shall be missed!

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Congratulations, and welcome to the moderating team, Morm! Though we'll be sorry to see less of Saucy, who has been a wonderful mod, it's good to know that you'll be sharing the responsibility of keeping the forum tidy on a day-to-day basis.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I say keep the violent monkey. The team currently has only one scary avatar (Mister Underhill) and I suggest that more fear will be useful in keeping discipline around here. :D

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Hmmm, maybe I should consider using an Ogre-Fiona avatar if you think more discipline is needed...

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Hmm... I suppose I'd better not publish the next Downer with the headline "Mormegil in beetroot scandal" then. :p

Well-done Mr. Morm. Here's hoping you do a good job!

[Lhunardawen]

I'm not too sure whether I will feel happy (morm's a mod!) or sad (less of Sauce?) about this bit of news. Perhaps both?

Congratulations, morm, and we shall miss you, Sauce. :)

[mark12_30]

mormegil , congratulations! And cheers. And fortitude.

Saucie, you'll still be around, right? We won't be writing your epitaph in Memorial of Members-- right? Pinky Promise? Good. :D

[Hilde Bracegirdle]

Congratulations and best wishes on this new adventure, mormegil! I hope it is a pleasant one!

[Celuien]

Congratulations, Mormegil! :)

[Holbytlass]

Hmmm, maybe I should consider using an Ogre-Fiona avatar if you think more discipline is needed...
Actually, the one you have now looks like Fiona is looking at us with a raised eyebrow as if to say "I'm keeping my eye on you"-hm, rather like Sauron *gulp*.

Don't leave us forever Saucie!! Thank you for your hard work.

And my heartfelt congratualtions to mormegil, I agree with the rest in feeling he is a just choice. Just don't forget about us little people!
Maybe with your new powers you are able to change the m to capital since that has(d?) been irksome to you, just a thought.

[Boromir88]

Congradulations buddy..."With new power comes new responsibility. Do not abuse that or you'll have....Me-I mean Mithalwen...to answer to. :p "

[Mithalwen]

He will? :confused: :p You forget that Morm is one of my oldest friends on the downs... maybe I will be his henchman not yours.....
