The Satanic Church is where i belong

Ok, i don't think that anybody really will read this post, but ima post anyway.
Ok, i've only seen forum ninjas in the huge posts by Urk and people like that (can't really recall anybody :P) and i was just wondering, do they just post in the big posts since they became ninjas?
I remember seeing somebody who always posted in the halo 3 forums, and when he became a forum ninja, he seemed to bask in the glory of it, and just stopped posting?
Just wondering, if any forum ninjas are out there, Y U NO POST IN NORMAL THREADS?!

We aren't here to ruin your experience (Well Qbix is).

They're probably being flooded with reported posts and stuff. Being a forum mod isn't easy. Sure you might have some time to post and chat with people, but most of the times it's checking the forums you have been assigned to and/or dealing problems with mods.

They will post in anything they like, just like me and you do. Just because there ninjas doesn't mean there only going to participate in large threads, they try and help everyone.

...one would hope anyway.

I've heard the mods down at the flood forums are pretty chill. Personally, borrowedchief and bobcast are 2 pretty chill forum ninjas.

The Master Forum Ninjas are the one that might be always busy with stuff.
That being said, they do sometimes talk and share with the community.

I know, but when i don't see them around for a while, i just imagine a person sitting in a chair sipping tea all high and mighty, knowing/thinking everybody else looks up to him, kind of like the people in the flood XD.
I do look up to them as if they are better than anyone else, when really, they're just like me and you, i mean if we are here to stay, who knows one of us could be picked at any moment...
Bloody unlikely though :P.

Not sure, can't remember, if you can remember somebody like that, then it is probably is :|

If you're reading this, congratulations. You've just pressed a button to find out a little bit more about me. Not that you will, but well done anyway.

I've seen a few threads created by Recon Number 54 on the Flood. The mods aren't generally seen posting as much as any other user, but they do on occasion. Lately though, I've been seeing less and less of them.

They are normal members just like you and me but have moderation tools. They post in threads tat peak their interest. Nothing against you in general, just saying.

  • 07.26.2011 8:41 AM PDT

I'd post in the big post regardless!

While there's no real pressure from higher-ups to stop posting in every thread, you naturally feel less inclined to post in every single thread that you might have voiced an opinion on previously.

Firstly, you're busier, and secondly, people really enjoy focusing on things you say and taking them out of context/reacting badly. Eventually you just back of naturally because it's easier.

Especially because if you're on a busy day of banning and replying to a lot of threads at the same time, you get responses like this and this.

Oh God please no. The last thing we need is more of these high stung ninjas on the forums. They so abuse their power and about 80% aren't even active any more.

If you call what little moderation I've seen in the Flood lately an "abuse of power" then I'm ready for some serious police brutality. I'm not blaming the existing Ninjas for this, not at all. They can't be everywhere at once. But having more of them would be beneficial.

Hey, guys, what's going on in this thread?
Someone tell Kivell that he is a lie.

Forum Mods are very active in Private groups.

Lets face it, there is not much "Substance" in the Reach forum.
