Greetings fellow Earthicans. As we had our first inappropriate post yesterday and the storms in my area took my power out for most of the day, I realized it would be nice to recruit a few good individuals willing to keep this community troll-free and help review comments/posts regularly. Please let me know if you have interest in doing so. Thanks!

Edit: going to go with this for now. Thanks to all. Will adjust as needed.

    Some of you will be pushed through a fine mesh screen to mod here. Those will be luckiest of all. I would be honored, always approaching the trolls with the element of surprise.

    Y’know, boys, a good moderator needs many skills, such as boldness, daring and a velour uniform. If I was moderator all I would ask from my users would be their complete loyalty. If I had that, then for all I cared they could sit around the whole day drinking beer in their underpants.

    Thanks for all who were interested. I chose mods based on interaction in this community and involvement in other communities, and used that info to appoint those individuals who I believe best fit the nature of this sub.

    We are all strangers on the internet and mostly only been here for a few days so let’s give it a go and see where it takes us. Looking forward to the adventure with you all!

    PS - Happy Fryday (insert Kif groan here)

        No but it’s a matching tattoo with my bff’s trucking logo. The space bee episode is our favorite and we both watch them out of order so that we catch an unseen episode when we do season rewatches. I still don’t know if I’ve seen every episode and I like it that way.

    Spam bots have a preset spam limit. Knowing their weakness, we can send wave after wave of mods at them until they reach their limit and shut down.

    Just out of curiosity, we could use the discount cards to buy gum then immediately quit moderating right? You know, playing you all for chumps?

    As long as you don’t forget about our 5% military discount. I need my Big Pink. It’s the only gum with the breath-freshening power of ham.
