Westerosi Coast Gangster Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Were they not picked to be hall monitor in school? I'm just curious as to the why? Do you enjoy it or are you doing it as a favor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polishgenius Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Some moderators are just big old picky grumpypants, but on this board in particular, most of them are absolutely nothing like rejected hall monitors. We've got a good bunch here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myshkin Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I think most of them just like to see the rage when they shuffle someone's thread off to Forum Games. I mean that's the only reason I'd do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westerosi Coast Gangster Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 I like the ones I've encountered here, but is it the miniscule amount of power it gives them that makes it worth doing or are they truly concerned with people's internet behavior?

James Arryn Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 As someone who has been a mod elsewhere, it's mostly a combination of masocism and a desire to preserve the community they enjoy as they see it. There are the odd people who enjoy petty power, sure, or those who are very enthusiastic about some personal pet issues, but they tend to be the minority. Mods are generally much more zealous early on/in bursts, and off camera mod discussions usually are more about damage control and 'tone' and division of responsibility. Burnout is HUGE.It's a thankless fucking job, for the most part, and they pretty much all know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas! Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 It's a thankless fucking job, for the most part, and they pretty much all know it.I'd like to take this opportunity, then, to thank each and every one of the mods on this forum for all of their good work. And now they all know just how little being thanked is worth, too. The veils are really dropping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElizabethB. Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 They don't like KFM only for girls, giving them advice or bruised... eggplants. There's more, but can't recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowleper Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Surprised this thread isn't already locked down. They must be slipping - which is a mistake on their part, as it shows weakness.If this keeps up there will be open mutiny here shortly -- and the social order as they see it will cease.

The Mance Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Some moderators are just big old picky grumpypants, but on this board in particular, most of them are absolutely nothing like rejected hall monitors. We've got a good bunch here. Yeah I get the feeling they're a lot more like reluctant hall monitors, preemptively irritated with each and every dimwitted asshole that makes moderation necessary. a thousand thankyous :bowdown: :bang: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muhahahahaha - I missed this and it's so awesome. I feel like Rod Stewart got more credit than he deserved. Ronnie Wood is undervalued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
