Well, I can say this much, even if I were here for ten years my chances would only get smaller. You have to realize, there are about 5000 people who use this site at least once a week. (actually, i dont know how many ppl use it...just a bunch)

I'll give you a hint; you have the 865,874th username in the database. And you joined a month ago, so there'll be more usernames than that. :)

Even if only 1% of those visit weekly, that's still 8-9000 users. And I suspect that the figure is much higher.

My question is why people would want to become mods with all that traffic to moderate?

-- Steve's mind boggles at the scale here, but can sometimes get a feel for it through the numbers. (But only sometimes.)

Well, I can give you one reason. People like being in positions of power. Having the ability to do something most others cannot. Im sure this is something that the moderators could answer better though.

No mod has ever been fired, but stosh gets blamed for everything. Kinda like that younger sibling that no one likes, but we love stosh anyway.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

There, to ever said i had to show proof of a mod not being to nice. Use that link above. I started the original thread so thats an example from my first hand experience

Just because we may be strict at times doesn't mean we aren't nice. If any of this discussion becomes a mod flame fest I'm locking it.

Well, Nosferatu, you all seem to be more...well I don't know, but its very rare I see a mod nice. Im not saying your mean..just that niceness is not common among you mods.

I'd have to disagree with you. The mods seem to be very nice (most of the time at least :-) especially considering all the stuff they have to put up with. As for certain people and/or mods making mistakes or doing something wrong in the pictures thread, Shishka gave a warning at the start which I think IMHO was the best thing to do. If banning two people is draconian then surely locking a thread that explicitly states no political discussion and links to a few pictures before anybody has even responded to it would be unwaranted. I don't think anybody did anything wrong - even the people who were blacklisted only made a small mistake.

A person who has even the slightest chance of going crazy and reaking havoc has no chance of being a mod. Bungie chooses wisely.


An atom in the abyss that is the universe.. yeah, I bet its pretty hard to find people good enough

Don't start. *sighs*

Three locked threads is enough I think :-)

I'm joking btw. No offence intended :)

A very nice mod is stosh, i have been blacklisted by the disembodied soul That is running rampant through their systems as we speak, stosh has helped me every time and now it is minutes or seconds before the AI gets me again and no one will be able to see me post, but for those of you that can, i like eagle and am on his side of his fight with the mods, but i see the reasons why the mods are saying this stuff, the only thing that i must say to the mods is this I will Quote it so you can refer to me later on

"Lighten up a little bit you guys, i hardly ever see you post in here and are never active in forums except for when you post a news thread or something, maybe if you would hang out in here with us you could see where we are coming from and not blacklist every person that says a bad word or something

He just hasn't been a moderator as long as the others. Don't worry a few weeks on the job and he'll be just as disgruntled as the rest of them.

In order to have authority over situations, they have to be a little strict sometimes. Trust me, the moderators are nice, but when you have -blam!-s on these forums everyday, you have to be strict.
