Moderator shortage?

In this thread in this forum, I mentioned that there were fewer moderators than usual and opined that adding a new forum might not be the best idea. All right, I didn’t mention it, but I sort of implied it.

Are we short of moderators here? If so, I can think of about half a dozen I’d like to nominate.

If my experience on message boards has taught me anything, it is that there are never enough moderators, between the trolls, the idiots, the Stupid Questioners, the hotheads, the dewy-eyed innocents, the newbies…

Oh, yeah, and all moderators are either nazis or they aren’t doing their jobs. There is no middle ground. :wink:

You are correct, of course, and you have also demonstrated that you happen to be much smarter that I am in one post.

I really wish I hadn’t started this. Would somebody please close it for me?

And police men are pigs and fascists…
… But I’d still like to be one.

Hey! I’m 5’10", I ain’t short and I resents the implication that I is.

It’s not the size of the moderator that counts. It’s what you do with it!

Short people are so defensive. :wink:

I wonder if Exgineer is gonna do a thread on how often this same group of people is in the same thread?

:smack: That was Earthling, wasn’t it?

To answer a joke seriously, I don’t think anyone would be surprised or care if a short, less-than-one page thread was primarily visited by the same group of four or five people. At the 40 page level, however, it does seem a legitimate issue.
Note: I use 40 because it’s a magic number in the Bible, representing generational change. Any seeming relationship to any current thread, living or dead or merged, is purely coincidental.

Well, if there aren’t enough moderators around to close it, that answers your question.

(I kid, I kid.)

I heard they’re so short they’ve started outsourcing their moderator work to some third world countries :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah, xash, cause the moderator’s wages there are so much lower than moderator’s wages in the U.S.

Half, maybe. Even 1/10th.

You mean that xash got half a coffee cup? That’s just not right.

I actually have a half-cup. It’s a novelty item, and it looks like someone sliced a coffee cup in two, vertically, and added a straight side to it. It has the slogan “Half a cup for half a night’s sleep” imprinted.

On the subject of height, I’m a little over 5 feet. I used to be 5’1.5", but I’ve shrunk. Now I just carry a staff nearly as tall as I am, in case someone makes short jokes.

But why not, if there’s some great talent there? Why should people outside the G-8 be denied the opportunity to better their circumstances?

Must … hold … tongue. Can’t … make … obvious … smart-ass … remark …

Huh.

I had seen someone post about you getting short with them but I had taken it as a mere figure of speech. Thanks for clearing that up.

As for your staff, will it swallow up the staffs of the other magic practicing priests (i.e. mods)?

I used to have a staff, but I had to fire them. Bunch of lazy no goods, I’ll tell you whut!


btw, in case anyone is seriously humour impaired… :stuck_out_tongue:

I see these a lot in the touristy part sof town, and they say, “I visited San Francisco, and this was all I could afford to get you.”

I think we all should thank Og I didn’t make any bra jokes.
