So based on the nominations and comments from all of you, plus my own thoughts on it, I've decided on making these users moderators:
Kish

barberbob2
The Coldest Sun

*** If you're name is there and you don't want to be a mod, let me know.
We're going to be testing out the whole concept of mods here, so there could be some glitches at first. Basically the idea is that mods have extra "offensive link" power, so one click from a mod will gray out a post. A second click from a different mod on the same post will most likely delete it. Mods can work together that way.
Another thing is that mods can check a checkbox before submitting a post to turn on their "moderator voice" (this frames their post in blue with the word "Moderator" at the top). This lets mods speak with authority to give someone a warning to calm down, or to try to avert drama or an argument.
What does the "offensive" link do besides graying/deleting posts? Two things. 1) receiving offensive points can lower the weight of the offensive points you can give to others' posts. 2) receiving offensive points can increase your delay between posts. So instead of waiting 20 seconds to make another post, you might have to wait a minute. Getting a whole bunch of points could disable your ability to post for hours at a time. These delays wear off after a few days or weeks.
Hopefully these changes will have a positive effect on the GTQ forums! -
So, when will this play into effect?

Starting now. You probably have to log out and back in for the mod stuff to go into effect.
Also I plan to set up a private forum for the moderators soon. -
Thank you, we all appreciate it. Hopefully this will help with some of the problems this site has been having.

YAY THANK YOU GTQ GUY

Gtq Guy this is the coolest thing yet thanks :)
Lets see how this works out

The Dude NewbieThis sounds very interesting! The moderators idea has been around for months now, and we are finally getting them! Cheers! Although, I would like to add one person to the list. Rave098 would probably make a good mod, of course he/she is often only on the stage forum, so that may be an over-estimate. Jade66sick may also be a good mod, and especially for sexual orientation discrimination. I vouch for him.
The Geek was once quite the scrupulous type, but he has calmed down and brought down around 6 troll accounts. He deserves some well-deserved attention. LoneShadowWolf is also very mature for her age, giving me a choice for her. I would love to see her work.
Some others I think may do well, but not quite as good as the ones I have mentioned before-hand. (Note these are in no way set chronologically to exclaim one's power over the other.)
LetsBeFriends
VegeKaka
dannylover321 (I think this would be a great addition.)
Now here are the ones I fear may not do well as a moderator for reasons.
1. Gracious. Due to her extremely late a-joining (joined 4 days ago), and her horrible grammar, adn I suspect her young age, I doubt she would be a formidable Mod.
2. Animephan. She seems mature, although she is not one to leave the area of an argument... And tried dissing barberbob2... You just do not diss barberbob2 and expect not to get a bunch in the face from every-body on here and there mother.
3. GoddessA. Actually, I do not think this would be a horrible choice, but she is nearly ONLY on explicitly to The Stage. Chances are, she may miss many things to work on. Also, the pressure will be elevated on her, not allowing her to role play as often any more. Please either support my reason, or discriminate it for another reason, and state it.
Well, that is my opinion. I already see that GTQ Guy is already picking mods, but I do believe I have not expressed my opinionated judgement yet.
NOTE: These are PURELY opinionated judgements, based entirely off of MY POINT OF VEIW. These are NOT meant to be TAKEN AS FACTS. -
Well done on the mods gtq guy!
I've took down far more then 6 -
That's nice, but I don't particularly want to be a moderator for various reasons. Also, I think Rave has been nominated before and she said she would prefer to not be a moderator, although I may not be remembering correctly.
-
Who said I wanted to be moderator in the first place, Dude? That's what I fear that you are trying to say. Especially, the moderators that Gotoquiz guy picked are reliable but are very weak in being present.
They need to be able to handle that much of responsibility on this site. Especially, that this site has been quite a handful. And they need to be ready to be present and also ready to be upgraded at this privilege and moderate in a formal matter. -
Um The Dude I'm half and half on being a mod, so I never said that I wanted to. I would be a good mod, but I don't come on here alot, so me being a mod wouldn't be such a good idea. The mods GTQ guy chose are fine, no changes need to be added.

Congratulations, guys! I know you'll all do a great job.

Regarding the slow-down of posting for receiving offensive points, I just toned down the penalty a bit as the new system gets tested out.
