In the end they kicked me out but took on almost every single bit of advice I left in that mod chat, lol.
Try ruling from shadows then. You make the rules, but dont let the public know you make them.

Watch a couple of Machiavellian videos on YouTube about power and control.

I don't make the rules.

David does. And David may well be with God (at least Father).

Though, I wonder why David silently betrays, he has done it to me at least twice now, differently. He clearly agrees with me on a lot about moderating but keeps betraying me.

I have a good grasp. Robert Greene combines many such theorists into some of the best books on it eber written.

His 33 strategies of war book is a lot better than his 48 laws of power book, even for understanding social power.

His laws of power book is just the more famous one.

Your actions dont show it. When you were moderator, you could have literally ruled from shadows in mod chat and no one would say a word. Instead, you went full public, exposed your intentions completely, tried to visibly control and oppose everyone. Watch the videos so you dont repeat same mistakes in future if you somehow become moderator again.

No one is your friend in this world, and given the right conditions and interests, everyone will betray you.

Yes. I know how to be that way and choose not to be.

Id rather be God's servant than a powerful evil man.

Nobody except family can betray you if nobody is your friend, generally speaking.

You will serve God better by being wise about it. You dont really serve God by making everyone hate you.

But you are wrong. Even if 11/12 people in a room revile you for how Christian you are, you are meant to stay true to the Bible and ways of God, proudly even. That does not mean pray loud, it does mean don't hide at all.

And yet you are there on the bottom of the food chain here (and irl I presume), with all your wisdom on being an evil mastermind.

Maybe the devil is tricking you.

@David
There's always been a conflict of interest on this site between the people who want rough, free discourse and people who want cleaner conduct with stronger rules. You can't please one without displeasing the other, unless you create different sectors of the site with different moderation policies. The groups you've got planned would accomplish that.

As for new features, goddamn it I miss signatures. Being able to put my favorite quotes in my post sig and stuff. A frivolous request, but me miss mah self-expression.

For rebranding, so far I like DebateOwl, and netspat is really cute. thewarofwords.com isn't bad. It would be abbreviated TWOW, then. Sounds like the noise a minion would make. Or an Ewok. 

Rebranding can sometimes rejuvenate, so I'm not opposed to it. I do understand the qualm that debateart sounds like we're debating art... never thought of that, actually. I'd forgotten, but when Mike first chose debateart as the url, I thought it was an odd choice.

Debateart does not sound like that. Only Barney said he thinks so, so far.

I already been called the hard 'r' on this website. Don't want no rules against it. If some nigga is hatin, I want him to be free to tell me who he is. Lil miss Ratman over hear done popped in that thread and tell me not to use 'nigga' in a colloquial sense because it was 'against the rules' (oops, since you tryna change em, guess not, nigga). Didn't say a damn word to the kid who called me a, and I quote: 'nigger'. So you see how these kinda rules gunna be enforced. Best not have that rule at all. Let people say what they gunna say, and if someone want to scream that word at me it just make them look retarded.

Nothing happens without God’s consent. 

If he had any faith in you, you wouldn’t have lost the Presidency 2 years ago, your own allies wouldn’t have turned against you, and your plot to usurp whiteflame wouldn’t have backfired and failed miserably. 

Either God doesn’t exist, or your success was not part of his plan. 
Perhaps your self belief is misplaced

Wisdom from the guy who cant identify himself so keeps appropriating others.

You know barely anything about how free will works inside non Calvinistic Christianity.

You also don't get it, even though me losing is part of his plan it is still good to have done what I did.

Look at the changes here. Look at the past 5 mod actions and ignore the death23 unban.

Then keep talking.

Imagine you're a stranger to the site who is seeing that url for the first time. You might make that mistake at first glance. And many will only give it a first glance.

Tsk tsk. You used to at least pretend to have manners if someone wasn't on your shit list yet.
