Who is your favourite woot mod, and why?

Mar 20, 2012 7:45 AM

some have silly names, some are actually witty, some have common sense.. but why do YOU enjoy talking to some of them, and who the most... assuming they're not banning you for Trolling, or selling your own line of panties in your signature ?

especially since woot's down at the moment. I suppose so far ThunderThighs does well with the name, and is actually pretty nicely chatty. Inkycatz seems a bit quieter, but definitely has moments.

have to fins some posts as examples to support this maybe... hmmmmm!

Not sure which of the woot staff are designated mods or not but I like jumbowoot. His posts are rare and usually right-one. For example, someone complains about a problem, he has jumped in and stated that he will check into it and later the problem no longer exists.

Also, on a side note, jumbowoot has been very generous to some of the deals.woot users with some coupon codes.

I love all the woot staff but it's no secret I have a huge crush on ThunderThighs

She's even said she wanted to meet me for dinner and a movie and shove woot items down my throat

I just want it stated here that I don't really care for any of them, what with their fancy hair cuts and staff badges moderating like they own the place and correcting my punctuation and spelling when I make a mistake in a question. Look Woot If I don't wanna use a comma and look like an idiot I don't have to! How dare you put punctuation in my mouth!

HANDS OFF MY WOOT OFF!

@w00tgurl: what spectre of colourful accusation is this? Could one anglicise these boards so easily? Do you wish me to backpedal that you might save a centimetre of screen space?

Does it have to be a staff mod? If not, goldenthorn gets my vote because she'll MSPaint her followups from time to time.

Narfcake! He does it for free. Plus, he's King of the Shirt Nerds.

@roysterer: Answer a lot of shirt.woot related stuff, sure, and generally I try to be helpful, but I don't do any moderating. Thanks, but I don't qualify.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
