    Moderator?
    We don' got not moderator...

    WE DON' NEED NO STEENKIN' MODERATOR!

    Besides, we're Discordians. We're for Chaos, not Moderation. Have a Moderator? It basically goes competely against our grain. Against our fruits and vegetables, too, and some would even claim it goes against our dairy (with the possible exception of yogurt). And *ALL* Vegetarian Discordians of course state that it goes against our meat, kosher or not.
    It goes without saying that Hot Dog Buns On Fridays are *right OUT*! (Goes without saying? But YIPES and forsooth! I actually *said* it! Oh, CRAP! The Dept. of Unstated Things is gonna have my ass on a hot dog bun for sure! *assterisk*)
    We're a Non-Prophet Irreligious Disoranization... didn't you read the pamphlet?!?


    [*assterisk* - ...and my patoot is one meat that is DEFiNiTELY *not* kosher. Or even halal.]

    Why, Hell Yes, if you guys are serving Jello, I'll have seconds...!

    Having a moderator may go against our grain, and our fruits & vegetables, our meat, and our dairy (again, possibly excepting yogurt), but absolutely NO ONE said anything about refined processed cartilidge products with sugar and artificial flavors and colours.

    And if I did, I rescind that motion, and move that Non-Dairy Whipped Topping be considered as a running mate.

      i think the picture of no-one makes a great moderator. why does he/she need to be replaced by a quivering amorphous quasi-solid? (no offense to anyone with ED) has the picture of no-one allowed this tribe to go to shit or is the whole thing just too daoist? isn't the choosing of a moderator a function of meta-moderation anyways, thus making us all collectivly too moderate before we even start? i think we should vote for a Liberator instead of a Moderator, personally.

          Or, rather, the only moderator is the one we invent ourselves.

          I have to agree with the great Lazarus Long in this case as well: Moderation is for monks. Being Moderator-less seems to fit with the philosophical anarchistic tendencies inherent in Discordianism anyway.

          Or not. What the smeg do I care? As long as it's still fun.

              And created it moderator-less I might add.

                        A hookah is a Turkish water pipe, used for smoking Legal Tobacco Products. At least that's what the sign at the headshop say they're for. Ya know, one of these:

                    Can make a joint the moderator? How about a bit of the old Hashhishim? Is not everything permitted here? Or is this uncarved blocky space the only sacred one. POEE. I also have jello in my head phones and on my computer screen. Seconds are whalecum.

                          I am curious if someone could explain to me how you would go about making a tribe moderatorless.

                          I would love to do this for the tribe I started called "Do What Thou Wilt...". Currently I am the moderator, but the essence of the tribe, as I'm sure you recognize is not in need of moderation. So, if someone could explain how I can remove myself as moderator from the tribe, without having someone else take over, I would be much obliged. And feel free to come by and join the tribe and contribute anything you desire... DO WHAT THOU WILT...

                              I'm in another tribe that didn't believe in having a moderator, but was forced to vote one in after the person who founded the tribe got an email in the last couple weeks saying moderator-less tribes will be shut down if they don't get one. (the pesky TOU Draconian changes strike again)

                              I'm surprised this hasn't been discussed here... Somebody's prob not checking their msgs...

                              IMO it shows that no matter how you cut it, (re. whiner-backlash in "unenforceable" thread) Discordian principles don't jive with these new policies. If I'm wrong, great; but if I'm correct, we'll either disappear on the 20th or soon be forced to choose, oxymoronically, a Discordian Moderator.

                                Simple enough. If this one goes bye-bye, I'll set up a newer shiney board and let my cat moderate. He has the destructive side of chaos down, and he's durned cute to boot.

                                And you won't have to deal with his stinky cat farts. Stinky, hellish, miasmic cat farts.

                                  Will the tribe really disappear with no moderator? If so I am willing to become moderator and pass the torch to anyone else who wants it. It seems noone wants one but someone mentioned the tribe would be deleted if there is no moderator. I don't know if that's true or not?

                                      I should message tribe help and ask them. I would hate to see a cool tribe be deleted. Maybe small tribes few few or no members but I don't see how a large tribe with active posting would be deleted. When I see tribes I like that don't have a moderator I often actively pursue becoming the moderator. I love tribe and have alot of fun. If there is ever an opportunity to become a moderator of a tribe I think is cool I usually jump on the opportunity. If later someone else wants to be the moderator I am usually open to passing the torch and have done so several times. The HOTRODS tribe. The ALIEN SEX FIEND tribe. The BEAUTIFUL WOMEN tribe. The DRAGQUEENS tribe. Etc....... I recently became moderator of the Nina Hagen tribe. I was like "HELLO!!!" I love me some Nina Hagen! I am now pursuing becoming moderator of the C.S. Hyatt tribe and the Kenneth Anger tribe. : )

                                          If Tribe doesnt require a moderator then thats cool. No need for concern. If a good tribe is going to go away because there is no moderator then someone should be it just so the tribe is not deleted. I havent asked tribe help about this but should soon because people have spoken about it as something thats supposedly true.

    And then!

    And then I will fill it with Jello, institute a coup, and install the giant pink teapot filled with Jello as the true and rightful moderator. This magnificient being will be loved by all and known for dispensing justice in an even-handled maner.

    The giant pink teapot filled with Jello is the One True Moderator. All other moderators are pretenders. All who believe there is no moderator are moderatorless-communists and will be burned at the stake...or at least given a wedgie.

            But I LOVE the idea of them bringing their own Jello. Can they bring enough to fill a giant pink teapot? Cuz I've only got $2.95 to work with and I'm starting to see that this whole project could go over-budget.

It's all for the greater glory (and entertainment, anyway) of Eris...and it's also to help the poor starving Jello wrestlers in Africa. This is for a good cause. Wrestling is good. Jello is good. Eris is good. Starvation is bad. You do the math.

                    Well, Utahn's stockpile lots of things for the apocalypse. Jello being one of the major things. Because god hates people who don't have jello for the post apocalypse. how can you greet your mutant neighbors if you don't have a shimmering tub of green jello with banana's in it.

                    Eris is probably more than bi, lets toss a couple of robotic wrestlers in as well. And some nerf weapons. We can get a whole Mad Max beyond Jellodome going.

                    Although if we want unflavored jello, why not just go straight to KY wrestling.

                          Ew.

                          I wonder what would happen if one covered onesself in dry Jell-O, then was lightly sprayed with water, then sat in a cool place for several hours?

                          Hmmmmm...........

                            They'd probably end up in the next " ___ of the Dead" movie. That is if they could survive the swarms of ants, gnats and bees.

                              Jello of the Dead?

                              And yeah, the ants and such would be problematic.

                              On the other hand, one would be quite resistant to impacts; a Jello-covered person could probably survive a stupendous fall and, well, bounce back.

      Our benevolent One True Moderator the giant pink teapot filled with Jello seems to have overflowed and spread all over San Francisco:

      Does anyone have clues about the intentions of our leader? Do giant pink teapots have a pineal gland?

        Dear Eris! And to think I'm sitting in the middle of all that. This jello idea is brilliant! It would defend us from earthquakes! Although we might all have to acquire land and sea legs living like this. The homeless could just take a bite of a building too if they were hungry and repair costs would be cheap!

    If you want your moderator back, he's in my cage hugging my favorite tire in shear terror. I guess he never saw a gorilla type before? Sure, we can do sign language and have pet kittens! But type? 1000 monkeys my ass! Get ten gorillas together and one terrified moderator, and that bastard will type like a demon!

    Oh, so we're suppose to type???

    And I guess you expect me to put my kitten down too?

    ;)
