I'm a bit confused, is it a general introduction or just for mods?

Seeing that I am the only "mod" here, I think Jps is trying to annoy me again.

=O i thought Air Elbonia was one too... no i would never try to annoy you dktc..

" no i would never try to annoy you dktc.."

Because it is pointless... I dont have powers to annoy you

As a matter of fact, AEB is one of the bosses

And don't make it sounds like I am abusing my power. (and I don't believe you wouldn't try to annoy me.)

Let's just say I needed 2 minutes to type my respond (so I skipped your post).

And we have a staff page to introduce us. What do you want to know anyway?

let's see... I am not as cute as DanielD

; not as smart as AEB; not as mature as Stephen.....

Your name, where your from? and why your always deleting my posts and editing them

+

Staff page don't tell much to be honest and your not on it?

dktc · **Reply #9 on:** September 21, 2007, 01:49:30 pm

Name: Daniel Chan (as said in my email address)
Where I am from: Hong Kong (not a secret)

Why I always delete your posts / edit them: Because...
1. The info in your posts may not be true.
2. Your posts may be offending / contain accusation of fellow players / potentially be the cause of flame wars.
3. I don't think I have deleted your post. You yourself did.
4. I locked your brokerage thread because you openly challenged me by saying it is "dktc free" (ie. I didn't moderate it). So I did as you request (ie. moderate it) and found false claims/info so I locked it.

Stephen just added me to the staff page a couple of days ago. There is not much to tell anyway. We are not an online dating service afterall

No interstaff relations.

On a side note any more AM staff recruited will be 18+ with age verification. The lack of maturity comes out after a period of time.

And since Dex is now staff doesn't that mean we have no moderators?

Stephen is just jealous. Alright, you are cute too

Seriously, the 18 benchmark was what I hated when I was 16~17. I didn't see why I couldn't be mature at 16, and I don't see why 18 = mature. Age is not a reliable indicator. Life experiences, peer groups, education (esp. leadership positions in school/activities), personality, ... etc. play a huge role. And when you look at some college kids at 20, they still behave like a kid at 13

. I think it is more important to "know" the potential staff. You need to spend time getting to know him/her, how he/she acts and think, before you make a decision. Age doesn't speak much at the late teens, early "tweens" range. (and yes, "tweens" is actually a new term in social science / psychology / marketing, refering to people at their twenties but still behaving like a teen. Some of the generation Y is expected to fall into that group.)

Agreed, maturity doesn't come at 18 but its a good rule of thumb. Also when you get into legal matters you have to have 18's + to prevent any issues from arising there.

Well, need a soon 40 year old as a mod?

Indeed sometimes age is just a number, and the difference between 16 and 18-20 is not THAT big, between 14-16 it is though. I sometimes feel like 17 but looking in the mirror takes me back, haha.
I remember a girl I used to know, she was more mature than my grandma, and she was only 16, and I know 60 year old men who play around with Scalextric and Tyco. It's all in how you behave, particulary here on the net, heck I thought most of you guys were a lot older, but your young age does not show in the way you behave here
