I just want to be certain on this. Are users like Sketchfactor and sawnose moderators? I was thinking they were but I'm not quite sure so I want to know from someone.

dude, you pulled a jesus!

Essentially, yes they are, but they have more benefits. They get the pretty gold text, and get paid.

There are a couple who are moderators like Shishka and Ninja 0n Fire who have white text while theres a few who are employees that deal with the community and have golden text as well as a golden Septagon next to just about every thread they post in. While there are some who are Bungie employees but have neither white nor gold text.

Generally, anybody with white text or gold text has the power to moderate to some extent.

The who work for bungie have Golden Septagons made as the thread emblem when they post.

But guys like Shishka work for bungie too.......why he doesn't get gold text? I'm not sure.

Kpaul may be an employee, seeing as how he's Frankie's cabinboy.

But all in all the moderators do their thing on their own time. It's volunteer work. They aren't paid..(Well, dmbfan gets pixiedust and unicorns for compensation, LoL)

Skillet was here and referred to himself in the third person.

Aren't you talking about Stosh, Iceman?

Some Bungie employees do not have gold text but will have the same color as the Moderators. Such users who will have gold text are Achronos, Frankie and SketchFactor... other Bungie employees who are missing the gold are people like Kpual and Ninja 0n Fire, but regardless they are Bungie employees. Shishka on the other hand probably falls into the same category as KP and N0F, but his main roll on Bungie.net (as far as I know / am concerned) is to moderate when he can.

And regardless of title or color, they can all blacklist you.

Kinda? The employees sometime moderate but they usually leave it to the real moderators. Not to forget Ninja 0n fire.

Yes, he was a moderator before he worked at Bungie.

Shishka and Stosh have both been moderators for a long time - before moderators even had the power to blacklist people, I believe.
