The forum has a new moderator: Soma. He began his duties this week and will be assisting both me and Tuthmosis. I decided to add a second moderator because there has been an uptick in reported posts and this allows more coverage throughout the day. The forum has also been discussing more controversial topics lately which needs more moderator coverage.

I met Soma over five years ago and trust him fully with the keys to the forum. I'm grateful he has volunteered his time to helping out to maintain one of the best forums online for heterosexual men.

I clicked on this thread praying that the new moderator would be El Mech. I'm sure Soma will do a great job, though.

Huge respect to Roosh and Tuthmosis for running the best forum on the internet. I’m happy to help out and keep things operating smoothly.

Is it really too late to choose El Mech instead?




Seriously speaking, welcome Soma. Now that you are a moderator, will you be accepting donations?

If that happened, there would only be 5 members left after he put the banhammer away.

All hail our new overlord!!!

You and I would be two of the first ones gone, since we are both from New Jersey.

You can include the "passive aggressive California guys" in that list too, haha

Could Soma care to tell us more about himself? He's a cool guy, would be nice to see him post more or know 10 cool things about him.

Welcome!

I question the wisdom of appointing a moderator who's in North Korea. I can see how that would improve time zone coverage, but I have concerns around his reliability.

You should sticky this thread, it's very important news!

Quite the contrary:

A moderator from North Korea is perfect for frightening transgressors : they now know that, on top of Tuth's Thor hammer, they'll have to fear punishment by heavy artillery (1) and even, devouring ravenous dogs (2). I mean, only Little Dark could overcome such powerful, coordinated and multiple foes.

1: North Korea defense chief reportedly executed with anti-aircraft gun ( http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/ma...gun-report )
2: North Korean leader's powerful uncle eaten alive by 120 ravenous dogs ( http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2014/...ogs-report )

Said from the man that is in the rival nation of Japan?

Anyways Soma, welcome to the moderator team.

I would run this place into the ground I'm not mod material.

I hope Somas bans are epic.

Glad to hear Soma, and yeah some background info would be rad about you !

Be careful what you wish for , your warning level is back to 0% right?

Congrats Soma, I'm sure you will do a great job.

Soma on the job

Soma showing Little Dark's posts to his coworkers:

There were only two moderators before gus addition? Dear god you guys had magical abilities. I thought Suits and 2wycked moderated also

When Mark first told me Soma became a moderator I thought he said "Moma" and I got excited to see everyone get banned if you didn't have "lizard" in your name.

Soma is cool too I guess.

But seriously, congrats Soma.

As I said when I first learned this information privately, Roosh has made a wise choice. Soma has consistently displayed a strong knowledge of the forum's culture and membership.

It's like drafting a college superstar onto a championship team.

Tuth, I hope that the easing of the moderation burden will allow you to post here a little more often. Some of the newer guys may not even remember that you are not only the feared moderator, but among a handful of the best and most talented posters in the forum's history.

Soma, go easy, my warning level is already too damn high!

I'm a little disappointed that LittleDark wasn't even considered for the position.

Little Dark is too powerful. Roosh can't allow him to get too close. He could find himself ousted from his own forum.
