Why don’t we quadruple it, and then you’d have enough for a nice tea party.

Ugh, can we get back on topic here!

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. ![]()

You seem to have forgotten his drunken posts from his phone in several of the Mafia games. Very similar to this one.
Wait, what was the topic here?

Electing zuma to be Pit Mod, obviously.

This looks just like one of **zuma’s ** drunk posts. I miss you too zuma. When come back bring sober. And pie.
Let’s get this thread back on topic, people!
I’m a mod.
I would post that I’m a Rocker, but no one would believe me.
Is Coldfire still a mod? Does he even post any more? I miss Coldfire, even though he did piss me off once.
Do ex-mods get retirement pay?
There’s so much about mods that I don’t know. I wish someone would post a Moderator’s job description, requirements, pay range, benefits, etc., etc.

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.

"Envy (also called invidiousness) may be defined as an emotion that “occurs when a person lacks another’s superior quality, achievement, or possession and either desires it or wishes that the other lacked it.”[1]
It can also derive from a sense of low self-esteem that results from an upward social comparison threatening a person’s self image: another person has something that the envier considers to be important to have. If the other person is perceived to be similar to the envier, the aroused envy will be particularly intense, because it signals to the envier that it just as well could have been him or her who had the desired object"
I think the Green Eyed Monster is the root of all this mod-hate. Hardly surprising given the way they all seem to flaunt their coffee mugs and brag about their special calendars, obviously preying on our innate human frailties. Perhaps if the mods could exercise a little restraint, the members of this board could find the peace they so richly deserve.

He’s a former mod, but he’s still around. Last activity early this month:
http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?u=1957
We didn’t get paid while on the job, and you think they’d give us retirement pay? heh
But we do get free membership for life (ours or the boards, whichever ends first).
How does one become a SDMB moderator?
Ask the Mod
