I know I would never be asked (to weird :lol: )
But to be perfectly honest I'm not sure if I'd want to :unsure:
I enjoy flitting about the lounge having fun and these guys and Girl ;) have a lot to do and little time to do it in........it can't be that easy so with that said.....
Hats Off To The Mods

It's taxing because you all do it well and take it seriously.Quote:

I don't see it as flame bait either.
JP, sometimes it's fun, you know, the easy stuff like moving around threads and such.
Other times it can be very taxing, and we do get a bad rap at times for doing our jobs, but we took on the responsibility, and do it the best we can.
It would be the easiest thing in the world to just rule with a rod of iron. However the impression I get is that you do all consider that it is real people you are dealing with and not just pixels on a screen.
Exactly.Quote:

They sacrifice their freedom to "tell it like it is" to ensure the board runs well
Without being heavy handed.
How difficult is that.
Very.
Imagine another hunting discussion came along? I would have to hold my tongue and be impartial - just about as difficult as anything I can imagine.
That's actually the part I don't like. I don't want to be seen as an authority figure, as I don't see myself that way. I'd rather see myself as a peacekeeper than someone "policing". I think it's more a case of keeping things running as smoothly as possible, make sure everyone is getting along as best they can. I don't like having to "slap someone's hand" as it were, and when I have to do it, I try to be as polite as possible when I PM someone about negative behaviour.Quote:

I think it is this paragraph that could be taken the wrong way, but I would imagine that Ron realises it's not flamebait now. :)Quote:
How do you feel about being an authority figure. Who can take away people's right to post what they want. In exceptional cases you can remove them from the board and deny them access to their friends altogether.
I don't see you as an authority figure NikkiD :P Just a nude one :D
Ooops, i apologise for this mini hijacking if this was a serious thread
Wow, does that mean I actually posted something creative and helpful to the thread?? :blink:Quote:

Me feels ill now :lol: :lol:
Seriously tho, they do a great job and at times get a lot of stick for it, but could you imagine this place without them? :ph34r:
I would not be here for a start :ph34r:

I am willing to wage a substantial sum that you could manage it.Quote:

It's just the sort of person you are.
Do you feel you have to hold your tongue on contoversial topics now? I guess that would be a real disadvantage to being a mod, feeling unable to post as freely as you once did.
Actually, NikkiD with handcuffs sounds pretty kinky to me :lol:Quote:
