Hell, you don't need to go to the flame zone to see it. Nonetheless, it is not a hard job...at all. Like I said earlier...most the mods are cool. Just a few are worthless and give the rest a bad name.What Stat said^ Fair and objective, even to some of the most disgusting filth here.
I would fail at their job.
You wouldn't be able to move a hate thread to the badlands or enforce the 4 rules that exist. Bah, not a hard job...I rarely see any moderation, just jackasses like westhall spewing nonsense and personal attacks whenever someone disagrees with him. Worst thing...he is a mod, so you can't put him and his vitriol on ignore.
Not that I think it is a hard job, I guess what my experience has been with the mods here is that they have been fair. I have not seen much flaming, but then again, there are forums like The Flame Zone that I don't visit.
Then you have mods flaming and making personal attacks...how in the hell is a mod supposed to be a mod when their level of debate is nothing more than personal attacks and flaming?
they are still posters
and back when I got here, the mods were some of the best flamers
seriously, usmb is kiddie pool vs the shark tank it used to be.
Mods shouldn't be able to flame...it leads to an abuse of power.
I don't understand the point of mods here anyway. They don't do anything(except encourage racism and enable idiots like shitspeeders, matthew and their ilk.
A tip of the hat to the moderators and administrators.
I know it's nearly a thankless job, but a job that needs to be done, nonetheless.
You and Pix were better.
I was a mod once on a Mennonite radio forum. OMG. Never again. I still have flashbacks.
We should have a rep a Moderator / Admin day. Only Moderators / Admins get repped for 24 hours straight. Call it Appreciation Day! - Jeri
I second Jeri's motion.
How about February 29th?
I think that'd be too frequent and thus the thrill wouldn't be at the level of absolute euphoria. So, how about doing it every time a Republican gets elected president instead?
Some USMB members have been banned from other sites, as have I. One of the problems with other sites is that their moderators are immune to the criticisms and sentiments that rank-and-file members are not. The ban hammer, therefore, is a tool too often used for personal reasons. A mod could at his own discretion deem a member in contempt of the staff.
On these boards, however, the moderators are not elitists. They act as rank-and-file members in their intercourse, and as moderators while maintaining the site and enforcing the rules. Their objectivity is commendable.

When was the last time a suggestion was made and enforced? I've been a mod before...all they do is talk shit about everyone else in their protected forum.

you really are new here arent you?
the ban hammer is used often on this board....pink if the daily color....look about....
lets see if you feel this way after a year or so more....
there is a difference between true earned appreciation and simple ego stroking ...this just seems to be ego stroking....
being a mod is a taxing job at best....but again poor management begins at the top..and ask yourself....why are there so few ex mods on this board? how many boards have you been on where ex mods and admins are banned? think about it.....
or they answer questions about the zone rules.....that is sillie....rules should either be rules and enforced .... equally to everyone...having rules for this zone differ from zones from that zone is a bit odd....note: they dont moderate the flame zone till they do

Negged for being a douche.
