question about FSME

is it something you apply for or are you asked to do so by staff?

You get asked I believe, you have to contribute lots to that forum and/or have a very high knowledge of the topic.

Really?

Could have fooled me in some topics

Anyway, that's quite enough from me on the matter

I formally nominate DeltaNine for the position of FSME in the Rant forum. He seems to know a lot about it. lol


j/k DN

It's because I'm sexy

oh I forgot to mention in some cases there are different rules..

for example infinite is FSME of the NWO forum because he knows alot about it and he leads the NWO...inside info hush hush

It's not really inside info, though, is it?

I mean, you can't be an expert on something that may or may not exist or that has so many differant variations without being a paid up life member of said nefarious organisation.

I've actually always wondered that, and just been lazy and never asked. Although, I suppose you could just pick a story, and stick to it, and there's not concrete evidence to truly prove you wrong...

That's what I'm here for- to ask the hard questions.

*Cue LA Law theme*

There are many forums that could benefit from FSME's, that don't currently have them...imho. I'm trying to revive the idea as much as I can, as I think it's a good one.

As far as I understand it, it's usually picked by members of the DISC committee (a mix of members and mods), see that forum for more details on it.

psssst - you can't see that forum unless you're a DISC member.

*giggle*

I think the FSME should be revived, and to have multiple FSME's for each board (a good no. would be 3). These should be contributors to the board who have a decent deal of knowledge of the subject area and those who are online regularly and contributing.

multiple FSME's would be a good thing to me IMO in the weaponry and aircraft projects forums. Also I feel that there is a need for FSME's in the peak oil forum, as many people are ignorant to the science (or the accepted scientific theories) of how oil and coal are created and have not read scientific journal articles on the theory of peak oil and on alternative energy (nuclear, wind, solar etc) and those who are unfamiliar with basic geology and the mechanics of the earth.This may end up breeding misinformation and ignorance among the community about our energy situation and could make an interesting new forum one that is a total joke .

thanks,

I'm not so sure on multiples per forum, but there are many that could benefit from an FSME...especially the more technical and science-related forums, and medical. Would even be nice to have someone with some theology credentials in the religious forums, etc.

psssst - you can't see that forum unless you're a DISC member.

Doh! *smacks forehead* Been awhile since I met a forum I couldn't access, hehe....

I LOVE the idea. The first person I ran into when I arrived here (other than THENEO, of course) was intelgurl. Had the hugest crush on her. And then cmdrkeenkid. I was quickly impressed with the vast intelligences they both possesed, and used. I respect them both, and Infinite, to an enormous degree.

Having had chatted with D=9 in chat I can safely second the nomination,,,,,,good luck mate I hope you enjoy your new position .....hehehe lmfao sorry D=9 couldnt resist mate.

Just so everyone knows DeltaNine and I have joked around like that a few times so he knows I was just playing.

Actually, I've submitted a 1500 word complaint on your conduct here.

I have a 1200 word essay due for Uni, but I felt this was far more entertaining.
