Oooooh.... Thanks! This message is a bit late, but I wouldn't have really had the time, or I would be to lazy. Anyway I don't know what a mod really does.

A mod pretty much skims topics on his/her forum and makes sure everyone is following the rules. Pretty much goes: be reasonable. No blaitantly off topic posts, no obscene images, nothing overly argumentative, etc. Should this occur, the mod deals with this by either locking or deleting a topic. Should the behavior be recurring or excessive, this is reported to the mod board for further review of the member's connduct.

If you are interested, feel free to PM me with info of what you would like to moderate, especially if you would like to do one of the less active forums.

Thanks for the offer. I think though, that I wouldn't be able to do it, certainly not at the moment. I'm to bussy. Now this brings another question: Who actually gives a person the role of moderatoir? jeff? you? somebody else who works together with god in a big bathtub?

Any admin can do it. That means Jeff, Mariann, Linda, Drakey or Stareye.

Yes, anyone of us (plus Schrodinger too) is capable of that...the appointment to moderator is not done for the faint of heart, however. It involves many great trials and tests of character, fortitude, and will. And even if you pass, it only takes the rejection of one of the current mods to disqualify you.

Regards,

Your Twisted Moderator Lord

Congrats, Delicious Vlish! You're a great asset to these boards, and I'm delighted that you're going to be one of this forum's moderators. I'm sure you'll do an excellent job!

We still have plenty of forums to go before the apocalypse...

Yes, but their reproduction is exponential. It's one new forum today… before you know it, though, there will be millions of them.

Being a mod isn't only causing threads and sometimes offenders to die the death. You have to know when to do it. Here's a question to ponder:

The account Spidweb, member #1, posts something that can only be spam. Let's suppose it discusses mangos, requests for free registration codes, and clubbing baby seals. Now you have several choices.

a) Lock the topic.
b) Delete the topic
c) Move the topic to a forum you don't moderate so it's someone else's problem.
d) Leave the topic open.
e) Edit the post and leave the topic open.
f) Some combination of the above.

Furthermore, you must decide among the following:
a) Reprimand Spidweb.
b) Deliver an official warning of Dire consequences.
c) Request that an admin ban Spidweb temporarily.
d) Request that an admin ban Spidweb permanently.
e) Hire a hitman to figure out which Spidweb posted, go to his or her house, and break his or her fingers.
f) Hire a hitman, but don't tell him to stop with fingers.
g) Blame TM
h) Blame George W. Bush
i) Blame Jesus Christ.

I think that no matter what has just happened, g) is usually a good choice. Half the time it ends up being right anyway. :P

Nah. You can blame everything on Jesus. That's what he's there for.

Jesus gets the thanks. TM gets the blame.

You forgot the most important thing. Eat chicken noodles for breakfast and send your mom to buy a bottle of milk, after which you go to his or her house and punish him with the ultimate punishment: You throw eggs end rotten fruit against the windows (chickens are also good, they will break the windows)!

(Sorry for stealing your thing for just this time, Salmon, but...)
