What is the Female:Male Ratio of the Mods Here?

[cynyc]

Just curious.

[John Mace]

This MB is not bound by patriarchal gender assignment roles.

[Vinyl Turnip]

It may appear uneven, but bear in mind that women are (in general) not as moddy as men.

[samclem]

0.28:1
4:14

[Siam Sam]

I think the real question being asked is whether being a mod is a good way to pick up chicks.

Negatory, good buddy.
(It is not even a good way to hang on to any one has.)

[Farmer Jane]

I quite sincerely thought twickster had a penis until the Christmas gift exchange.

[tomndebb]

Straight lines. So many straight lines. . . .

Are you hoping for gay lines?

At which point you thought I sent it to someone?

That would be the male mods.

Must have been quite a Christmas. Perhaps if we remind her of her Latin grammar and then ask her nicely she'll change to twickstrix (or twixtwix: a female trickster with a speech impediment, bearing candy).

I will give that proposal the consideration it deserves.

[RedFury]

The OP needs to break it down further as we don't how many are trapped in a body of the wrong gender. Could alter the whole ratio...

For instance, "G-Factor" is supposedly male. But he has a "g-factor"? Hmm...

[Miller]

It's about four to one. But mind you, I'm speaking strictly for myself.

The "G" is for "gorilla." At least half of the Moderators of the message board are Otherkin; I thought this was generally known?

[Miller]

Just be happy you don't have to see Colibri's banana slug cosplay.

4:14 surely isn't right?

Why?

This page lists 17 moderators. Unless one mod is two people -- and tomndebb's name suggests that he/she/they is/are two people, but I think he's just one -- it can't be 4:14.

Tuba, Lynn, Elynn, Gwyn, Una and Twix - 6 females.
Marley, Sam, Tom, Idle, Gfactor, and CK Dexter = 6 males

So found 50% more than 4 in both sexes! No sensey-making!

Before someone comes in to get all cross about it, I'll preempt by saying that the totals are incorrect. I do not work for the message board, I work directly for and with Cecil. I'm a scientist, not an enforcer.

[Blank Slate]

Is xash no longer a mod or admin?

This isn't a list of the mods and admins! See link above.

He's no longer actively an administrator, but he retains admin powers, as do I. Generally I only use my powers to stop a spammer in mid-spam, in the middle of the night.

[Snerky Snerk]

I think the SDMB mods are like those dead/undead quantum cats in boxes that only the cool kids can understand.

Until you actually look in the box, it may not really be there. Then depending on if they are, or it isn't, then a random moderator in a parallel universe finds their penis missing. And their cat dies.

Or something.

However one self-identifies. If someone is, say, a woman with an unfortunate appendage then she's a woman. Same with those offended by having opposite sex chromosomes. OK? :-)

You're scary, Lynn!

[cynyc]

You're not using enough double negatives to be taken seriously.
