Why do I have a blue star?

For that matter why do those of us who had red stars, now have blue stars? Are we all mods. now? If we are, what are our responsibilities?

If this is an April fools joke, I'm not laughing. I've always hated them, always will & I have good reason for it. I was injured & lost a good friend due to an April Fools joke played on the both of us by someone else that went wrong. Either make me a mod. or change my star back to red, now.

tragic about your friend, N_C.

I hope this line is meant to be funny, though: "Either make me a mod. or change my star back to red, now."

Jesus Christ, quit being an idiot and/or get a sense of humor. I doubt having your star a different color for a day will bring any harm to you, your family or friends. Or ban yourself, now that you're a mod.

The blue star is usually reserved for our most intelligent and good looking members. We'll take those back right away.

I think you should make an exception and make N_C a mod. I'll change my title to 'permanently banned' now to save him the trouble.

Chipcom, we would have made you a mod by now, but I figure the forums would be a lot more boring if we did that.

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.
