Jenni's conservative. I became a super user by displaying the Bud Lite super powers of:

- talking to animals
- breathing fire
- travelling in time (so I can settle questions early, but be careful not to travel back to Salem. MA in 1692 8^)
- the ability to fly (into jet engines)

Seriously, I don't know exactly what the selection criteria were, but all of us charter super users have devoted a lot of time to policing questions by flagging those with problems, requesting settlement for questions (particularly those whose outcomes had been determined already), participating in the question comments and here at GetSatisfaction in a positive way (recent events nonetheless), creating successful questions (although my EBay Spy Satellite question must've been forgiven), and generally behaving like a good citizens of Hubdub.

I anticipate the number of super users will grow ('cause we're doing such a good job 8^), as will the number of super powers.

That's cool, I really like that idea – kruijs, on June 05, 2008 05:39

i forget which wizened hubdubber coined these phrases after the spitzer hoedown but the title faction should be changed to clubs and then everybody would get a little logo thingie after thier names
Hubdub also has factions

The Anti-Death Pool Brigade
The Resigned-to-Resignation Gang
The Hubdub Mutual Admiration Society
The Free Speech Protectorate

If I take the original question someone else has posted, and use it (but it still resembles the original question in some degree), I try to remember to acknowledge the original poster in my question's background info or comments, etc.

I was one of those who had posed a casualty question before and seemed to catch a lot of flak over it in the question comments. I never came here to check out everyone else's opinions. I agree, it is a newsworthy question and probably should be posted. Perhaps one of the problems is that some are concerned about the 'making of money' on the lives of our soldiers. Of course, that would exempt Halliburton and others, but I do understand the point about wagering. So we're into this for prediction's sake, and we can do it purely on a predictive nature. So I'm going to resubmit the question for June using a different time schedule that will allow for less adjusting of the wagers during the month and focus on 'predicting' the news earlier on. Let's see if this flies.

Darn...and I just now realize that you DID 'steal' my Idol question...just kidding, you've done a great job of maintaining it throughout the season...and I remember you 'offering' to let anyone who wanted to write it themselves. The problem with repeating questions is that everyone tends to sit back politely, as we should to some degree, to allow them the opportunity to post their market. But sometimes real life interferes.

Just keep calm about it and don't have a snit-fit...we're a growing community and we can all help each other.

I was wondering what does happen to those who bomb out quickly...it does separate the adults from the kids. In most of the play-type of poker rooms they just GIVE you another thousand when you blow the first allotment. Not that I have any better ideas at present, but I like the idea that ideas are being tossed around.......

Do we just get one pair of underpants, or at least two so we can remain "super" while the others in the wash...

I like the idea of superusers, but as far as volunteering to be one, I think it's kinda like the situation where the 'job' searches you out...it's a calling, not a job
