concept of being a mod varies i suppose, but ultimately you want members participating / contributing which should be encouraged. When a member steps over the line warnings are required and thus if they go unheeded discipline. I have been reading this thread, and jokes about banning and the hammer etc.. fun and games, but no mod should want to ban a member, they should work with the members and try to guide them down the right path... well in my mind anyways lol
and for the dumbasses banning yes, but the term would be "time out" for a few weeks hoping that member has learned their lesson when or if they return...
there are always more details the deeper one looks
:cool:
I'll mod but only to delete first posts with no stove.. oh and those first posts with a picture of a couple grand in gear asking if it's any good.
This is very true and goes for managing, or leading, or modding any group of people....same concept applies....2 in 10 , there are normally 2 people in every group of 10 that need extra HELP if you will...
I manage people for a living and have to live this every day....as much as some people get pissed at mods, there is something to be said for their patience for ther most part imo (there are asshole mods)...its like a step system, warning, warning with a good chat, warning with discipline, then ban....or firing...
but as with any good manager, its the ones that you can turn around and help to act proper in the culture you have joined , that truly shows how good you are...some truly are unhelpable, definitely not most...but some.
anyone can ban and be a power freak, but the good ones can help show the troubled another way,,, through empathy, and good coaching abilities..
id apply but im BRAND new here. If i could transfer posts/time/experience from other boards i would, but until then, ill just post away and say EH a lot. I was invited to mod before, but i refused, just stuck around and helped new guys out. SOOOO lets see who wins the postitions!

k im confused.
we need a mod to at the very least, make stickys with the useful threads
i hate having to go look for everything
well i hav made a request here and there to a mod/admin to sticky a thread, and they have been accomidating.
Testing
so uhm i'd like to nominate myself...i haven't been on the scene for too long but my job allows me to browse the boards pretty much all day.
from what ive seen there is only one major problem which requires mod involvement and thats source fishing, which doesnt happen too often.
a minor one is threads not being posted in the right subforum. usually i see this happening with various articles/research being posted in the more popular sub-forum so more people will read the threads..but there is a reason why we have a dedicated subforum for that.
:)
I agree source fishing is annoying, but thats mainly a "first post" issue. I think product pimping is worse. I remember seeing several posts saying how they receive unsolicited PMs and emails. IMO that's what's really dangerous; scammers, fake products, or genuine but unsafe sources
I don't really care who's a mod as long as they don't bring any personal business to it.
We just need someone to edit/delete threads that reveal a little too much and to ban the occasional troll.
Whoever gets chosen shouldn't take things too seriously, the last thing we want here is an authoritarian douche bag like some of the guys you see at bigger boards.
Mod me.....
Obviously I fall short of the 500 post count (for now) but anyone who knows me knows that I am a stand up guy.....and wont be a prick...but when things need to be 'cleaned' up then ....
Thank you for your vote BDH
K, I'll throw my hat into the ring...with MP's approval i would love to mod here. This place is my home online and i love it dearly. I give my word to my very best not to be a dick and to always do my very best to be fair. Mostly though, i'll just hang out, learn and contribute like i have always done.
If anyone disapproves of me being a mod here, feel free to post up. Please PM me with the details though as no one needs to hear gossip in this thread.
Gus.
Not that my opinion matters but you got my vote Gust!
+1 for Gus. And Mr.O can not be allowed to be mod unless you want every thread to turn gay.
Couple queers above if you ask me.....be mods see I give too shits... just dont ban me and were all good. :)
Don;t think i won;t spank you with the paddle young man...and if you keep it up, discipline for you will come in the form of watching reruns of the 80's hit TV show Hunter....see if you can handle 36 straights hours of Fred Dryer jumping over cars and saying "It works for me".....hahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!
Is this mod thing ever gonna happen??? I dont even give a shit who it is, but this place needs someone to tighten the reigns a little...
Whoever gets made a mod, could you please force people not to use blue text on a black background and set a timer on consecutive posts so they cant spam like a mother****er.
Thanks
lol
Hell ya Gus. Glad you changed your mind!
I wasn't going to apply. But on second thought. If I can at least lock down threads till MD or other more senior mods has a look at them and do it anonymously, then I'm applying.
I'd also love to be giving mod status to dole out a few spankings too.:puff
