What do You think about Mods?

Olthar, perhaps?

You called?

"All hail!"

*bows*

I noticed that you have yet to properly establish your kingdom over NS, m'lord. I was only acting to further facilitate this noble enterprise.

Now forget you saw me. Please.

Wait will this turn into some Pony discussion if Olthar takes over?

Shut the hell up, mate. Don't give it any ideas.

Doesn't surprise, though.

One of the people who did plain just walk into the cannonfire.

1000 cats was told to stop but he didnt listen. therefore he must served a punishment for not listening...

Banning Cats was the
Only mod choice I abhor
May he rest in peace.

Well, to be fair, if there were sex acts on animals mentioned on the RMB and other places...

[Glast Heim]

Mods? I think those red letters are cool.

[New Abooutland]

What are your opinion on moderators?

I think that they do a good job and help ppl. I think that they should get paid for their work.

this guy dosen't think that it's been edited by a mod

It hasn't. When mods edit something, it says so at the bottom of the post, not to mention the fact that it's been that way since the thread started.

but then I don't remember 1000 Cats talking about having actually had sex with animals.

1000 Cats did describe specific sex acts with his cat. That not everyone is aware of this may stem from the fact that the sex acts that I'm aware of were described in RMB posts, and not in NSG forum posts.

A quick check also shows me that there were also at least four slightly less graphic forum posts now archived away from public view where 1000 Cats directly admitted engaging in sexual activity with his cat. No, I won't be sharing either the RMB posts or the archived forum posts; they're no longer public for a reason.

Ta. I know I wasn't around much at the time, this may well have completely passed me by.

I edited the poll, there was an option that could have been considered trolling.

[Immoren]

If Olthar becomes Tyrant I'll be the Neighsayer.
Because I can't bow to her with straight face.

[Kleomentia]

They are pretty nice people, someone you can trust.......are they gone?....Quick, untie me and run...don't look back. Oh god there they come!
But seriously, i don't think they should get paid, i see it as a privilege not a job. And yeah, i think our current mods are nice.

[Of the Free Socialist Territories]

What on Earth is happening here? There's a poll in NSG where one of the options is 'Neutral'!

I like the mods, they're a decent bunch. Some of them scare me, though.

How can you say that after what they did to The People's Republic of Fynnbayes?!?!

[Alevuss]

I find the mods on this site to be quite true to their duty. They don't seem to abuse their power, like I've heard of other mods doing on other sites. I might go so far as to say that they are models for mods.

I don't really think they should be paid. I agree with previous posts that it is more so an honor and a privilege. If I were a mod, though, I wouldn't mind getting paid, of course.

[NERVUN]

On the subject of pay, let's not. I already spend way too much time here. Let's not give Max yet another reason to glue me to my keyboard and spend more time on NS.

[Minarchist Territory of Pineland]

First of all, I have no basis towards judging moderators on this site as a specific case, because I don't know enough about the ones on here to make a valid judgement.

But I've been a member of alot of boards and, well, if I could summarize it...

I think that on the whole, they're hypocritical e-penis wavers mainly for the fact that they will jump at the chance at infracting/flaming others for doing something wrong, or making mistakes, but when they do something wrong themselves they fall on claiming 'they're just human', but are void from receiving the same treatment... as well as it being suspiciously dodgy that alot of moderators seem to be good friends with site admins. Given the fact that moderators are chosen because they 'excel in certain board areas or in general behaviour', most moderators I've seen are either utterly clueless and retarded, or just brown tongued, or both.

I'd say that was a bit too 'political', but then this is a politics forum so... eh.

But like I said, I have no basis to judge mods on this site yet. So, I don't mean any real offense.

In terms of pay, why? They do it because they enjoy it, not because they earn it. If they didn't enjoy it, they wouldn't keep doing it. It's volunteer because it's a hobby. They're sitting at home on the internet anyway, they feel they might as well gain some kind of status or power because of it... rather than focusing the same energy into real life.

[Zottistan]

The mods protect me from trolls and flamers, and stop me from trolling and flaming. So, they're pretty impotant.

Its a moderated site,
They really did not have any choice with 1000 cats.

errrr...what? You castigate the mods and then admit you nothing regarding the mods? Seriously?

I've got to confess this is the most laughable bit of your post. Good friends with [violet]? You know the Stig, from Top Gear? He has nothing on [violet]. And she gets the job done, as well...

Some say that if you tried to ban him, you wouldn't be able to post, and that under her racing helmet is a V8 engine. All we know is he/she's called The [violet] Stig.

[Johz]

Oh my god...
[violet] IS THE STIG!

Look, if there were any other explanation, we'd choose it. We don't like this scenario any more than you do. But how else do you explain the fact when you click on [violet]'s flag, you don't obtain [violet]'s nation? Or the fact that no-one has actually seen [violet]'s face? Or, and this is most damning of all, the extreme speeds with which she rockets round the Top Gear test track?

The evidence speaks for itself.
