So basically, watch out for a power hungry member on our backs when he arrives? Gotcha.

The rules are definitely being pushed in here by a couple of people, and I don't want to see that come to abuse. From anyone.

Fair enough.

In the spirit of the thread, welcome to you jayshreddz, you'll do a fine job.

Just know that if I suddenly disappear, it won't have been the chinese government.

But his confidence that what I listen to is "crap" was astonishing - never have I seen such conviction before. I mean - I thought I knew a fair bit about country, but he told me that I "haven't heard enough" to know it's crap. That must mean that his musical experience is far greater than mine.

Also, he lovingly referred to me as "that chick". Talking to his humble subjects in such a tone singled him out for authority immediately in my opinion.

It's not going to come to that, for anyone, unless they earn it.

Ah, wonderful.

Why?

I would like to nominate myself for any future vacancies. I already moderate a forum with over 400 active members.

Who the administration hires as paid moderators of their websites has never been decided upon by the volunteer staff. Typically these moderators work across a number of websites. It's been no secret that the number of bots coming out of China have been overwhelming the userlist in the last four-six months, and these can only be dealt with by a moderator/administrator of Yac's permission level; unfortunately, Yac can't be here as often as we'd hope. As for why Jay was selected in particular, I think that's a question for him to respond to.
