Beware! And as I've broken cover, I should get TWO gold stars, I think. [EDIT and 6 mins after posting this , I've just flensed another spammer. Heh heh. (wipes knife) ]
[POST-FAWM EDIT: I'm reminded of the song from Joseph & the technicolor Dreamcoat, where the brothers are supplicants before the now-powerful but unrecognisable Joseph in Egypt. The chorus runs "grovel! grovel! grovel!". Soooo appropriate, heh heh. Got it? Then all together now...grovel!]
I'm a moderate soul, and a quiet operator
I've lived a gentle life
I've worked as a navvy and a restaurant waiter
And never got into strife
Until they made me a moderator
And gifted me a very sharp knife.
So listen up loud, all you virtual sods
And pay attention, for your lives
I'm a moderator now, one step down from God,
There'll be no mischief I'll let by
I'm heading up the Skirmish Policing Squad
You'll obey the rules, or die!
I'm a moderator now, one step down from God,
I'm heading up the Skirmish Policing Squad
You'll obey the rules, or die!
Plagiarise and your account will vanish
Overshoot the time and you'll be punished
Fail to listen all around and you'll be vanished
Flensed by my moderator's knife!
I'm a moderator now, one step down from God,
I'm heading up the Skirmish Policing Squad
You'll obey the rules, or die!
And anyone fool enough to mention
The song that I might have wrote
Using a twenty-year old tune redemption
Well, you might as well cut your own throat
My moderator reputation I will strengthen
By throwing you into the virtual moat.
I'm a moderator now, one step down from God,
I'm heading up the Skirmish Policing Squad
You'll obey the rules, or die!

@leepat Mar 2022
great title and appropriately power-hungry development.
love the evolution of a moderate soul into a moderator :)
@sheilerk Mar 2022
I’d best make sure my will is in order and learn to swim moats if fawm sets this moderator from the skirmish policing squad loose! I know I’m sure to fall afoul of this fearsome fellow!!
Seriously hilarious! I loved it!!

This is awesome. It is so witty and entertaining. I love the theatrical feel. The piano is fantastic. So glad I clicked on this song. Thanks!
@metalfoot Mar 2022
So delightfully theatrical in both lyric and performance. The phenomenal power of moderation suits you well, good sir.
@gilhari Feb 2022
“Drunk with power” suits you well… made me laugh, thank you!
@fearlessflight2014 Feb 2022
Am I the only one who is feeling a little scared right now?……
