Just like a husband. Shirking his responsibilities to go drink and have fun, leaving me here with all the work.



Have fun sweetie.

I see you still haven't cut your hair. I should have done it myself. *sigh*

And when was the last time you shaved? I mean Rob, you're a mod now. You're supposed to look respectable.

How can i not react on this... seeing this picture !!!

Well i'm going to rehijack the thread.. back to Jpaul's question...

Life as a mod.. well it is certainly different as just a "regular" member.
Although i still like to see myself and the fellow mods as regulars...
It is not quite the same. I think Lamsey said it before, you are a bit more keen on what and how you post in some topics. I left some topics just because of that however i did have strong opinions on some topics. Btw on the serious stuff i also have the language barrier that sometimes make it difficult enough to express your thoughts and feelings on some subjects. What kinda disturbs me is that if you disagree on some serious stuff there are always some members that come out and abuse you of "yeah because your a mod ..." or say things like your a mod and say things like that... i left the sicko topics for those reasons. Also in some heated debates you always keep somewhere in your mind that at some point you may have to interfer, if you already participated in a thread and have taken a stand that sometimes is and will be used against you. Sometimes mods are accused of censorship. They accuse you sometimes even if you didn't participate !
Well multiple stuff, i was got myself in a pretty big fight on the board and i refused to back down on that, and was so angry i used words i normally never use..
Well you can imagine the other guy threw that back into my face, saying a mod shouldn't use that, mod unworthy... but hey, as i said we're just members too..
Well biggest difference i noticed that i feel far more responsible for the board, the atmosphere on the board, the uptime, the behaviour of members and the fair treatment of all the members... far more then i had before. Probably totally unnecessary (and i can't control it anyway) but somehow i feel that way.
Because of that i spent way to much time in here
Well the being a forum copper never felt that way.. always tried to do what's best for the members and the board. If hard measures had to be taken i supported those, but also always tried to be fair. I like to give people 2nd chances, but if they pushed that, then it is their problem not mine... I don't feel bad if they f*cked up. Think that just the same as most regulars think about actions taken.
The janitor job is another one... still can't imagine so little people read stuff and post wrong... the damn cleaning job takes way to much time.. Also some ongoing discussions/flamewars like for example the gameconsoles is unbelievable to me..
Why not just enjoy what you have and let another one enjoy his The spam... ah i get used to it, so every once in a while we have someone... pm's luckely solve most problems with that. As far as postcount... well i really don't care. I know the members about what they post and not how many times they posted.
Censorship is something i took out of my book long ago. never censor members, maybe clean up a post sometimes taking out vocabulary that is inapropiate If stuff goes to far or are offensive to other members (or we get a lot of complaints about) i close topics, but always leave my personal opinion on the subject out of those decissions. I take those decissions on objective reasons. If there is doubt on such stuff the teamchat (mod room) is the place where we discuss those topics. Like we did on the abortion and hunting post.
Well basicly that's it. I don't feel bad or good about being an "authority figure"
in the end we'll all die and this will make no difference to that.
I only like to take out one misunderstanding which actually has been asked quite a lot:
No we do not get payed for doing this..

And yes it takes a lot more time then many people think, and yes sometimes i wish i was just a regular member and didn't have to worry how to handle a case or the board...
