I think two relatively simple rules will eliminate a lot of the chaff and spam without impacting the 'sensible off-topicness':
1) you need to be Hero or Legendary member to post in WO
2) posts in WO do not add to a posters Activity Count
(... bla bla bla elite supremacist bullshit)
NO!
I'm a full member participating in WO since I was a Newbie and it's been the thread I've most participated, asked and responded in this whole forum.
Turn it in a closed elite club is throwing away A LOT of people who can aggregate. Just to be clear, the guy who's compiling the list and helping most is bitserve, another Full Member just like me.
Quite frankly I don't agree with you and bitserve appointing yourselves somehow as 'moderator selectors' or 'moderator selection process deciders' or whatever you want to call the bullshit elitist process bullies and gatekeepers you have self-appointed yourselves as ... that really seems like elitist bullshit to me.
So piss off newbie and take your offensive response attitude with you.
I am not quite sure where your angriness come from, but let's just clarify that I haven't appointed anything myself.
I have just tried the get the ball rolling on the list compilation and nothing else. Anyone can (and should) update the list themselves. You have a strange sense of what is decision power or elitist bullshit.
It's just a list of people that have expressed their willingness to help with the moderation of the thread. That's all about it. Geez.
