If the world was like Chief Delphi...

[Katie Reynolds]

... People would only show 14 facial expressions

... A thumbs up sign would appear over someone's head whenever they agreed with you. Make that "thumbs down" if they disagree.

... Forget all the bibliographies and MLA standards required for writing reports... Just click on the "Quote" button

... Botox? Psh. Just click on "Disable smilies"

... How about foot-in-mouth? Have no fear, the "Delete post" button is here

You know, my Dad's quote in his HS yearbook adressed that issue perfectly.

It was: "A closed mouth attracts no feet."

So, here is my modern version of that: :-X

Moderators wouldn't be able to walk down the street without the following happening:

"Do you know where Brandon is?"
"Can you fix this for me?"
"Hey, that's not fair. Why did you do that?"
"*grumble grumble I hate (insert moderator's name) grumble grumble*"
"I don't like what you're saying, you stink, and here's why..."
"Amanda, break this fight up!"

- forty people would be speaking at once, with horrible grammar, and we'd have to read every word of it and try to make some sense of it.
- there would be a lot of finger pointing, name calling, and accusations.
- there would be a lot of bickering over stupid things.

From a moderator's point of view, especially through some of the stickier and sketchier moments of the 2004 season on ChiefDelphi: Present yourself as you would if the great Dr. Flowers was standing over your shoulder - would you say some of the things you say to each other on these boards? Would you challenge, backtalk, and pester someone who didn't agree with you?

I hope this helps some of you realize what kind of behavior you (or your teammates) display, whether you think you represent your team or not! No disclaimer on earth lets you disassociate yourself with your team or what you represent because you want to say something not particularly nice, but lets you be associated again when you want to say something to encourage others, etc. By being on your team, you are just that - on a team of people. Every person represents a team... You do, too.

Then i would have to be around Brandon All the time just so he doesnt feel so tall
Hawiian Shirts would be "in"
instead of flags we would all wave Trinagles Circles and Squares outside our houses
and
there would'nt be states or countries just team numbers
we would elect leaders based on their tranny designs
