What has that got to do with anything?

Staff involvement: I'm actually not sure if many members of staff are even active on the site anymore, you can correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not sure that "The Mod formerly known as Hondam" is still active anymore.

Staff Rules: Probably the amount of times they've been changed and how when "bots" break certain rules, the rules get changed . Admin validating, which is a longer process then simply sending an e-mail seeing if that person responds and checking if that person is a "bot" or not.

Passive moderators - this type of mod rarely posts on the board in question and will often lurk unseen in the shadows, hiding their online status, until such time as they need to wield their power despite being largely unknown to the community.
Vigilantes - actively cruise every thread, editing or deleting posts that are vaguely interesting or controversial, so as to maintain a general atmosphere of stagnation on the board. Most commonly found on specialist fora (e.g. car fora).
****ing hopeless - the most dangerous of all, showing precious little awareness of how to do their job. This incompetence often manifests itself in such forms as ensuring that new members are watchfully policed and ruthlessly suppressed by recourse to, amongst other things, the Law of the Post Count (see below).
Teh popular ones-These are the mods that were appointed to their positions either by sucking off the administrator or they have nudes floating somewhere.These are usually 16 year old girls who you often wonder how they balance the life of being a myspace whore and a incompetent mod.Often they dont do anything except be really b*tchy to n00bs and post their pictures in the Member's photos thread wanting to be dickfed attention.
**ULTRA RARE**The laid back mod-These are the few and proud moderators who were former trolls and decided to balance being a troll and being a good forum user and ended up somehow getting picked to be moderators.They usually don't jump into forum raids right away because a part of them would like to see the epic lulz in action.They usually don't care much about spam and stupid new members and its rare for them to get motivated to ban someone.The admins hate these type of mods and like to often find ways to replace them with more of the types described above.

^Types of mods as listed on encyclopediadramatica. Most of the mods here fit into the top 2 categories. I probably fit into the laid back category when I was a mod.

I'd say there are a few like Fayt and Goldensummit who are cool mods as well, but most definitely are among the other types.

Note-Fayt and Goldensummit aren't the only good mods. They are just names I can think of off the top of my head.

Teh Mod Creed-


What's good for the goose is definitely not good for the gander - in short, established board members are allowed to rip the piss out of n00bs but should the n00b under fire actually fight back and start winning, a mod will step in (often by locking the thread, see "Mod powers" below) before the established member starts losing too much face.
Law of the Post Count - an unwritten internet law that states that the likelihood of a poster being moderated, regardless of the merits or otherwise of their post, is inversely proportional to their relative post count. The Law also states that the truthfulness of any post is directly proportional to the post count of its creator.
This Is Not A Democracy - a phrase invoked when a moderator has been seriously pwned for making a cr*p decision, and will not (or, more likely, cannot) justify the decision in public.
I'll see how I feel - a decision made by a moderator does not have to be consistent, but instead will often be arrived at through gut instinct and with absolutely no regard to whether or not a forum rule has been breached. Can often result in double standards, a basic requirement for any self-respecting forum.
Lets just take this to PM-When a moderator has been called out for being a ****** and a nazi. Rather then face the masses and actually admit to being an epic failure, they hide behind the cozy barrier of a PM and hide from the public like b*tches.

Some of these are followed by mods here extensively. I have personally seen Krabs invoke the "This is not a Democracy" line.

The only way to save this forum is by promoting Slickslicer, Hondam, and SHUMA-GORATH to admin status.

Your post is basically spam so please try and prevent yourself next-time, thanks.

I’m sick of these types of complaints,

and yeah I warned you, Tesouken (after Chin also agreed it was worthy too warn mind you). We mods volunteer our time to do the best we can’t for the forum and make it fair for everyone and even give little leeway with the rules, but some like your good self seem to want too much and play the innocent game when you do something wrong.

Quote:

 

So since you’re carrying on like a pork chop and want the world to believe the mods are ‘gods’ then the members can see for themselves just some of the reasons (in the space of just 2 days as well) why you got warned for spam. As I’ve said many times a few big long posts does not give you a free spam pass inbetween.

So cut the drama please, it's just a warning, you are still a member, you still have full posting privileges and you will even be entitled to have it removed in the future if those types of posts decrease.
