DCM means that you’re supporting Dakka, not that you’re a dyed-in-the-wool White Knighting GW fanboy.

Exactly.

Guys, you can be a DCM before even making your first post on Dakka. There is no criteria, no requirement, no expectation.

What do you get? The ability to change your title to what you want, access to a semi private forum where things tend to be pretty nice and civil, even from users usually considered to be... controversial. It is simply a nice calm place to take a break from the more argumentative parts of the forum. There are a few other small perks, but at the end of the day, it is just supporting keeping the lights on, and we appreciate that.

What it doesn't get you is any form of special treatment, immunity to any form of punishment or any kind of right to mouth off more than a normal user. Believe me, there are plenty of DCM's who get themselves in trouble. If anything, there is more of an expectation from the Mods that they would behave themselves! After all, if you shelled out to support the place, why contribute to making it worse?

Before I became a Mod, was being a DCM worth it? I would personally and without a doubt say yes. It was really nice to have a calm and entertaining place to post. The eye of the storm I used to call it lol. It is almost like a troll free OT in there... if that sounds good, jump on-board! If not, then no harm done, there is no expectation that anyone who is a big poster must become a DCM either.

Other-wise ol'HBMC would have to join!

That's not a fix at all. That's breaking it.

Way to break it, Mike.

My assumption is that you're just trying to make a joke, but other readers may not catch on.


Well, I do like to break things

Yes it was a joke, I thought the little soap box guy gave it away. But oh well -shrugs- I guess I rolled a for my LD check. =o[

Stay polite boys.

Btw, to address something that was mentioned earlier, no discussion of non-DCM's is allowed in the DCM forum. No talking behind the back allowed.

Sorry to seem like such a noob to Dakka (I kinda am ), but what is the Ivory Tower?

It's what we're jokingly calling the DCM forum in this instance.
An 'Ivory Tower' is a term used to denote a place where the inhabitants are separated from reality.

Also, as a teaser just for you Ogryn:

So you're tryin' to tell me that you really are separated from reality?

You're making it too easy for me Kan. It's no fun if I don't have to try!

The only question that remains is which of the two is JD and who is Dr Cox.

Can we have a competition between the two of you on who can draw a unicorn the best.

Also, he's not a unicorn. He's a horse with a sword on his head.

Some of the stuff on this site makes me happy
Some of it makes me sad :(
and because of that I will eventually become a DCM and support dakka, but it might take a couple of years, considering I'm only 15
I wonder if WarOne is as weird in your so called "mosh pit" as the quote in my signature would lead you to believe (making a DCM seem weird, it's as fulfilling as sucking blood )
P.S. we need a sad face orkythingy (I forget the name)
