Was that good enough?

:p

I have to practice a bit more in front of my little cosmetics mirror.


P.S I think this topic should be closed before the big guys with lime bars come.

Whoops... Never mind.

> It's like winning the lottery, you just keep on trying and trying

No, and, no.

> and generally cool.

No one cares how cool you are.
This has actually worked once. Note the "once".

> I posted news stories

Seems like you got a follower.

> all you need to gain is rep

Hm... yeah. And, then?

> ability to handle things in a mature manner

You're not really talking about our mods here, aren't you?

> Getting on staff is not the end

Damn...

> have you ever seen a mod without gaining rep first?

Yes.

> without the rep, some admins can't tell if your helpful

Pfff.
You overestimate rep, and underestimate admins.

> I have yet to see a moderator which I don't think deserves his title.

That's because they were gone so fast you didn't have time to notice.

> you really needed gooder grammar

Which would disqualify the author of that line (*)

> *duck*

You can hide, but you can not run. ... or so.

> Was that good enough?

Nice try...

yea.... :p

so funny getting caught on grammer mistakes while talking about it :p

i think the correct way to say it would have been: "you really need a good grammar."

Why would you want to be a moderator, anyways? Just for the green? Being a moderator means you have to do some work. Who would want to do that when you could come here and have them do everything for you, rather than the other way around? Seems rather odd. :nuts:

Me.

I got mod when I only had maybe around 200 rep. Like DDRtists.
I had more posts than that, though.

> No, and, no.

Agreed.

> Hm... yeah. And, then?

Indeed. We all know rep is perfect, right? :rolleyes:
In reality, it isn't that good of a represenation. There are people who have rep that shouldn't, and vice-versa.

> i think the correct way to say it would have been: "you really need a good grammar."

Hmm... keep trying. :p

> Someones ego-o-meter rose a bit.

You mean someone showed their ego?
No change there that I can see. :p

> Seems rather odd.

Nice reverse logic. :p
We all know the real reason, though....

Well, no.

I guess it is about helpfulness which leads to rep.

But without the rep, some admins can't tell if your helpful unless they view your posts. Some read your rep log, but that probably doesn't apply for moderation.

Answering a question that is asked to someone else is not the best way to prove your point... :p

My answer is: Well, yes.

> some admins

Namely...?

> Hmm... keep trying. :p

U raelly ned more gooder gremmer?

:banghead:

Reason? What reason? :rolleyes:

I figured you'd just play along. :rolleyes:

Rep isn't anything, so Ha, pwnt.

I don't underestimate admins. Actually, I bet you guys are considering banning me right now...

I don't care too much atm. I guess I am just really pissed off at some stuff happening in my life.

Well, anyways, no, it isn't about rep. Rep is an illusion apparently. Having rep means nothing. Go ahead, -rep me.. xD

Even restore my rep to 0, you'll see... :p

Rep is not meaning less. It shows who people are. You can tell lots about people from it.

do they ask for it? Do they not ask for it? Do they ask for -rep? Do they say don't rep me?

Thats why I think it is important. Not that it means your better, but how you get it shows what type of person you are.

Lol, im active... I just dont always post after I look at things :p

However, I am proud of one pointless thing I did. My 2 Hell vs Heaven (WC3 game) threads have brought a lot of people to this site. If you type Hell vs Heaven in Google my threads pop up first :D Even though theres an official IGN game called Heaven vs Hell (a close name to it).

*cough* If there was suddenly a flood of "visitors" and people who can't speak english to save their life becuase of that thread... it wasnt me ;) *cough*

I really wouldnt care if I was a mod or not. Ive been trying to get more involved and go other places in the site besides the WC forums :p

But ya, when your a mod don't you quickly lose rep and status if your not active? And does active mean posts or logging in activity? Becuase Im on here about 4 times a day for some reason and I barley ever post.

Green is only on frag-forums lol. Surprisingly on the website that I moderate doesn't have that much to do. But on a very active website administering and moderation is key because TH net people are so active. I tried to get mod here first, but it was too hard so I stopped :D . Now I just post for fun :shades:.

Well, we all know how the moderator picking is done, so I'm going to go ahead and close this to stop the useless posts. If anyone feels this needs to be reopened for some reason, you can PM me and explain why.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
