A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

What does one need in a stompy? Knowledge of anything besides "how to spoiler font"? Obviously some trustworthiness. Being around a fair bit, helpful...but...??
All of that's good. A fair amount of patience is essential, and the ability to differentiate between when to intervene and when to just let nature take its course when people are being idjits in the threads.
Frankly, the job entails very little, except for the really intense periods when it entails a Hell of a lot.
It's like that Kenny Rogers song, really.

Know when to walk away/know when to run?

Do people not understand the subtle beauty that is kprinkle?
Bureaublahblah 2: Kprinkle
It says so much.
they'll be time enough for natter/when the thread is done...
I was always partial to yprinkle as well. I also can't beleive that I constructed a spreadsheet to try and figure that out and THERE WAS NO ANSWER!
All joking aside, the stompy job ain't that bad. You just gotta remember that A.) Above all else, make the board run smoothly; and B.) remember these are real people that you're dealing with, and consequently deserving of some consideration, no matter how much you and everyone else wants to throttle them.
Other than that, it's a breeze.

By the way they posted Charlie Daniels all the fuck over the place...
I think a lot of Buffistas would make good stompies but two that come to mind are Cindy and BHP, because they post real nice and they always seem to be around.
