Title: Questions for and about moderators!
Post by: Little Joe on July 01, 2018, 07:25:14 AM
A few weeks ago, I noticed that Lucifer was a moderator.  WTF?  What does a moderator do on an unmoderated board?

Today I noticed we have three moderators.

I don't have a problem with this, it just surprised me.   When did this happen?  Was there a discussion about it that I missed?  I was on vacation for a few weeks and didn't really pay much attention.

OK, for asking that question you will get a week ban!

Just kidding.

The mod positions are just to help keep the spam and robots cleaned up.

I find this thread highly enlightening and will use it for my daily consideration.

I suddenly became a Moderator without any notification, as I imagine the others were as well.  It may be related to post count (activity).  I have no idea.  I have no problem with it, but since this is pretty much an unmoderated forum except for spam, I doubt it carries much weight.  :)

Be afraid, be very afraid.  lol!

I find your post very intelligent and it will be beneficial for all those that see it.

If you enlighten the obstacles to enhancement, everyone benefits today.

I am offended that all three moderators are deplorables. There should be some snowflake representation.

PS - The idea of having moderators in a forum that was designed to be an escape from moderation is stupid.

The indication of the representation of importance can lead to the endeavor to persevere.

Does this mean we won’t see Bryan with a Y and sham a Loma ding dong, anymore?

If so, count me happy.

I certainly hope not. Only a very vain person or an idiot likes to hear the echo of their own voice.

I became a moderator too.  It was decided based on the top 3 post counts, so you assholes better step it up and start posting more!

As Anthony said, it was to get rid of bots and such. Remember at the beginning this board was also getting bombarded with porn.

Since I’m almost always on this board through Tapatalk, I’m not sure I can do moderator things through here.

On the other hand, haven’t seen Steingar much lately, have you? (Rubbing my hands together like Obama when he figures out he has a pen and a phone - “I’ve got the power!!”)

Suggest title of "Spam Controller" instead of "Moderator" so that my feelings are less hurt.

Poor baby. Maybe they can make you a Grand Exalted Wizard Moderator.  Libs always like to tell others what to do.

Asechrest is joking, for heaven’s sake! He likes to pretend he is the type of liberal we are always complaining about.

May be some truth to that! I'm taking a break from the current liberal environment.

Because a snowflake is made up of up to an estimated ten quintillion water molecules, it is unlikely that any two are ever identical. This makes me totally unique, and I demand that you recognize it.

You mean you didn’t get your signing bonus? I guess I negotiated better, since we don’t have a union and all. Sucks for you, Anthony!

Yea, I'm digging the bonus as well.  Plus the perks makes it all the better.
