"Astro, you must exceed the limitations that humans cannot!
You must be go beyond nationality, ethnicity,
pilosophy, and religion,
starvation and poverty,
and war!
Exceed these limitations created by man!
You must fly high! Higher than any human has ever flown before!
To reach for the future that no human has been able to so far!"


Oh....I see.

It looks like some explanations are necessary.
Why am I a moderator even though I have subscribed barely one month ago?
The fact is that I am a regular and active member. I don't want non-moderators members to know about my moderator status, because I believe it could bias interactions I could have as a regular member with other members. Therefore I decided I would have a second account that I would use only for moderation.
Now you may think I could abuse this dual account. But remember there are three other active moderators, and an administrator. They all know who I really am. If I suddenly started to abuse my current status, they would see it, and they would stop me.
Why my number of posts don't match the actual posts when a search is done?
This one is simple. Mark has created a forum for moderators. We used it to discuss about the rules. We still use it to discuss what to do when events occur. Because regular members can't access this forum, they can't see the messages I post there. They can't see them either when doing a search. But the post count is updated whatever the forum.
Is it a subtle smarty pants hax0r?
I think it is the moment to explain what happened one month ago.
The forums were broken in by a black hat hacker. He entered using a critical vulnerability, took over Mark's account, and started doing damage by deleting random topics. There was apparently no way to stop him, nor any to warn the administrators. I decided to break in myself, and finally succeeded using this critical vulnerability. Chances are that it was the same the black hat hacker used. We might never know about that. Once in the place, I kicked the bastard out of here, removed his primitive territory markings, and closed all the doors I could. I didn't want him to come back and exploit again the same vulnerability. Thanks to information I could obtain after my break in, I could contact Mark, who put everything back in order.
The reason why I am now a moderator is probably because of this. There are other members who are more ancient and have more posts than me. Despite of that, Mark proposed me to become moderator at his first answer.
But be assured that I am as motivated as the other moderators. I will enforce the rules, no more, and no less. I want as much as everybody here this place to become a better place.
