Ask Lerroux

[Netto Azure]

Are you going to start firing people? : U

[Lerroux]

Thank you very much for all of your questions.

Be as useful as I can be. There will also be other stuff which you will see later. I have some great plans for this forum.

Sincerely, Razor Leaf.

I think I'm a pretty average guy who is trying to get settled in to a new forum.

What makes you think that you should be an admin just because you helped bring in members? Plenty of people on PC have done that, so why shouldn't they be admins? What else have you done to make you qualify for that position and what sets you apart from a common Google bot who's presence on here brings a lot more members in than you have? Why are you even here?

There's lots of reasons, which will be discussed in due time. All you should know for now is that I've brought much more members to the forum than the Google bots have.

Sincerely, Went.

I don't know who Santa Claus is, but according to the rules I'm not at liberty to leak, so sorry, no, I can't tell you.

Other Chat. There's just something about the history there that intrigues me.

Who are you, what are you doing here, and why in the world do you think you deserve to be an admin more than any other member?

Members don't help the PokeCommunity in the way I do.

You know that I'm basically like Steve right? You wouldn't go asking him to promote yourself, would you now? No, don't ask silly questions.

While a lot can be said about the memberbase, I quite like a few staff members and so far the threads have been interesting, to say the least.

Lerroux, can you please demote Geoff by the way? I'm being serious. He's rude to moderators and intimidating to members. Do we really want someone like this on the staff team?

Refer to what I said to Logiedan.

man, no respect for your elders, I swear.

Don't you even care that a complete stranger suddenly has the power to like, delete the forum and stuff?! I don't know about you, but I don't feel comfortable about having someone none of the staff know anything about at power, especially not with the reason he even became an admin.

Relax, dude. I'm not going to do anything Steve wouldn't do.

Yes. Though I do find that a strange question to ask a new admin, though...

Agreed, which is one of the reasons I'm so weary about this. What if this guy is going through looking for email addresses and doing creepy stuff like that? It's like you guys don't even care that a stranger has such power around here. It's not like he's a moderator, he's an admin. I'm not comfortable with that. There are some creepy ****ing people out there.

Do you know Steve personally, Larroux? If you did, I'd be a little bit more comfortable with this because then it's like modding one of your friends just because you're friends.

Again, I don't intend to do any of that. You can trust me. As for knowing Steve personally, let's just say we've come into contact with each other a few times over the years.

I don't know who that is, but I'll say no just to be sure.

No. I'm here to stay, just like you guys. Would you like it if I, or Steve told you to leave?

Only if Steve and I feel it's the appropriate action to take. For now, no.

Now do you plan on overstepping the way our forum operates and going over heads again to achieve these plans? You may be two/three levels higher than most of us, but the way our forum operates isn't based on what admins decide on doing and on whim. Do you know how things are done here? How new forums are added? How decisions are made? How we deal with members who request to return after being banned?

a. Highly unlikely.
b. This answer doesn't satisfy me or answer my question.

You mean like accidentally delete one of the most important forums PC has to operate? Yeah, that's reassuring...

[Meganium90]

I love the fact that you are calm and you are taking everything all too well. :D

I like this guy already.

Kenshin you are awesome.

[Went]

I don't want you to leak, I just want to know why and how you got here so suddenly. Ausy said something very disturbing a few days ago and I think we deserve some explanation as staff members. I know very well we aren't allowed to leak but we just want to stay in the loop. At least once something like this, a new admin, appears out of freaking nowhere.

[Olli97]

Well, we still can't exactly trust your word on this untill we hear something from Steve himself. And to be honest, you're making it sound like you and Steve are going to decide every single change to PC in the future, which just makes it even more evident that you don't know how the forum rolls.

Also, I don't personally think it's a smart move to tell us that you don't like our memberbase, and even though it's your honest opinion, I don't think you'll gain more trust from the staff talking like that. But hey, that's just my opinion.

And here's another question for you too. You say that you somehow have gotten a lot of members to PC, but can you tell us how exactly you've made these people join? I don't believe you, untill I've gotten a believable answer to this.

[Sydian]

I have not yet shown any photographs of myself, so I don't believe you would know whether my hair is nice or not. Are you some kind of freaky stalker? Steve, maybe we should look into this one.

Haha, really? I don't like this one, guys. Clearly has no sense of humor. I was trying to take it easy on you since you have all these people pounding you with tough accusations and questions, but ignore my efforts.

And your hair is hideous I'm sure.

[Razor Leaf]

i giggled when syd said "pounding"

lerroux do you like staff pounding you?

[AlexOzzyCake]

Nick does this too and see how well that turned out. js

[Razor Leaf]

Wait wait wait there are staff who don't hate the members?

[Olli97]

Yeah, but Nick didn't just pop out of nowhere, stating already in his first post that he didn't like our memberbase, did he?

[AlexOzzyCake]

Don't be disgusting.

Probably did tbf...

I don't hate the members per se.

But considering that yeah...

[Razor Leaf]

I like how you say this in response to my comment about member hate but you completely ignore me asking Lerroux about pounding lmfao.

Pfft, everyone loves a good pounding ;D

[sammi-san]

Lerroux, I have no idea who you are, but welcome to staff. If you need someone to talk to, you let me know. Don't let the little punks get you down. :)

What if Steve has changed his mind? He owns the forum. The fact that he puts up with the staff hierarchy ******** when he is the only one contributing money to this operation is amazing.

[Meganium90]

Don't get me wrong, I like the memberbase too...no matter what.

I'm starting to feel a lot of you are unnecessarily suspicious, especially you, Patchisou. Take a chill pill and get back to me. No need to be concerned because I'm just like you but with more power. But to answer your questions, yes, I do know how those things are done. I'm not stupid.

As I said, I brought members to the forum. There's nothing more to that. I contacted Steve, asked him about it and he agreed to admin me. What matters is that I'm here now, not what brought me here.

Steve and I will make the correct decisions for the forum, don't worry. Everything will be fine. We'll be making the major decisions, as Steve normally does, while the basic moderator/supermod level decisions will still be up to you guys.

I'd also like to add that I have a good feeling there's many of you who aren't particularly fans of the memberbase.

I don't think it's wise to say you dislike an admin in a thread he is posting in. Watch yourself.

No. I'd rather you guys put your complete trust in me. Steve made me an administrator after all, I didn't just put myself in this position.

[Captain Fabio]

So now everyone has chilled the fudge out, what have you actually got planned for PC? Are you going to involve us in anyway or?

[Patchisou Yutohru]

Don't be offended. I hate everyone equally.

Except for the people on my friends list, who I hate substantially more.

[Forever]

Except for the fact that I'm the one you really like the most.

Oh right going off-topic @ lerroux thread. ;x

[giradialkia]

You sorta bypassed my question by assuming I wouldn't ask Steve that. Why in the name of Jesus wouldn't I ask Steve to promote me? You pretty much did that- albeit through blackmail, no doubt- but even so. No, don't make silly assumptions. I'll take my green userbar now, thanks.

[Olli97]

And now you want to pull out even more money from him, by making him pay the older staff members? And even if that's what the donations are going to, that'd mean we won't get to upgrade the server, which wouldn't be good with all the new members we get.

Also Lerroux, this thread was for answering questions, but that's exactly what you didn't @my last post.

[Lerroux]

Man I really thought I would have got more questions by now. Seems everyone else is pretty much fine with this, that's a relief. Now finally I can settle in.

Originally Posted by Captain Fabio

If necessary, yes. If not, no. As I've said, I just want to work with you guys.

Seriously? I have no words for you. Don't be stupid. Steve and I aren't idiots.

I answered it sufficiently enough.

No, I never got an answer to this question.
