The recent Tybalt debate poses the question: what would it be like if
the list had different moderators? To help answer this, I've dug up a
list of candidates for the job.



The Soun Moderator: Goes into a crying fit when someone posts a test
message. Oh, how could they?!? Oh, the pain!!

The Genma Moderator: Will un-ban for food.

The Ranma Moderator: Is automatically engaged to anyone who posts a test
message.

The Kasumi Moderator: Anyone who spams is given a cup of tea and a
delicious meal. So is anyone who doesn't spam.

The Nabiki Moderator: Sends out copies of any fics requested on the list
-- for a price.

The Akane Moderator: When a test message is sent, bans the Ranma
moderator.

The Jusenkyo Guide Moderator: Explains what the anti-spam rules are
AFTER they've been broken and the spammer has been banned. Very tragic
story!

The Old Woman with Water Moderator: Don't ask.

The Tofu Moderator: Does a competent, professional job -- until the
Kasumi Moderator logs on, at which point he starts banning people at
random.

The Kuno-sempai Moderator: The unending idiocy of test messages... and
the constant annoyance of public fic requests! How can he decide? He
would ban them both!!

The Hiroshi and Daisuke Moderators: Don't actually do anything about
list spam, just sit back and make sarcastic comments.

The Ryoga Moderator: Doesn't do any actual moderating, as he's still
looking for his terminal.

The Kodachi Moderator: Simply believes in banning spammers in all
fairness BEFORE they post any spam!

The Shampoo Moderator: When a woman posts a test message, she will hunt
her down to the ends of the Earth and killfile her. If a man does...

The Gosunkugi Moderator: His "ban" button is shaped like a voodoo spike.
It doesn't actually work, as his account doesn't have moderator
priveliges.

The Cologne Moderator: Has been subbed for over a hundred years.

The Mousse Moderator: Can't distinguish individual subscribers; when
someone spams, someone else at random ends up banned.

The Happosai Moderator: When someone spams, he steals their underwear.

The Ukyo Moderator: Does not ban; carries a big-ass spatula in order to
deal with spammers in the old-fashioned way.

The Principal Kuno Moderator: Any keiki wit' ".hawaii" in dey node can
be spammin' all dey want.
