Why is this the top Google ad I’m seeing in a thread about the mods? 😛

Plus, the mods for a given forum are always listed at the bottom.

With that said - what? I don’t understand your OP.

Probably because of the atrocious punctuation. Although even for a general anti-mod rant, I fail to see why a list of them is necessary.

Edit: I’m actually wondering if **zuma** ’s account got hijacked. This doesn’t match the tenor of his/her other posts.

Yeah, what is with these mods anyway? First they go around placing hate literature in all our hotel rooms. Next, they kill Tony Snow. Then they have the audacity to move the production of White Lily flour to the Midwest. Damn yankee moderators. Where does it end?

And why do they all dress the same?

“The mods” are ruining this board, yet the OP can’t remember any of their names, and can’t be bothered to look at the bottom of a page? Pardon me while I treat this thread with the urgency and attention it deserves.

**zuma** ’s last post (not counting this one) was in May. I seriously doubt this is him. He is usually an articulate and grammatical poster, even when his temper gets the best of him in Mafia games. 😛

I haven’t heard from **zuma** , but since I don’t know for sure that he didn’t post this, I’m reopening the thread.

There will always be a lot of things I will never understand about this forum - the debates over religion is one of them, the debates over tipping in restaurants is another - but at the top of the list, is how worked up people get over the moderators. I will never, ever understand it. Not once have I ever seen any behavior from any one of the moderators here that I find objectionable. If anything, I don’t even notice them at all, unless they’re posting on something unrelated to the regulation of the board. I don’t get why people have feuds and vendettas against them. I would love to actually see some kind of official list of grievances from someone, but I doubt that’s going to happen.

But really, isn’t that part of the charm of this place?

I’m being serious.

A recurring -though at times tedious- theme is the occasional…let’s say inconsistent, actions of the mods (this is not a complaint in any way) and then the predictable “Why this is an outrage and I won’t stand for it!” reply which then unfolds into a call to defense of the mods by other members with the usual barrage of profanity, wise-arse non sequiturs and choice insults.

You’ve got to admit, it’s good for the occasional chuckle.

And personally I feel the mods do a fine job. Such that whatever they are being paid, I think it should be doubled.

We really should think about their future as well. I propose a 401K plan that we contribute…15% of their salary to.
