We all knew that our moderators were a secret cabal, bent on world domination. Now there’s proof..
Great article, Chefguy.
I’ve long thought that unpaid moderating is the perfect hobby for masochists.
I used to moderate on a (now-defunct) BDSM website with a politics forum. You ever “time out” an internet tw00 Dom?
Where are the jack boots? Come on, I wanna see jack boots!
If we ever raise $50 million in venture capital, I suppose the same thing could happen here.
I liked this bit:
I am Moderator! Hear me roar!
Yup, sounds like this place.
Quis moderiet ipsos moderatores?
Hence the phrase “All things in moderation”.
And perhaps “severe to moderate plaque psoriasis”?
Also, it’s abundantly clear that moderators are suppressing responses to this thread.
See, this pisses me off no end. I have psoriasis, but nobody gave me a freaking plaque.
I’m a moderator on another forum. I have a mod name and a personal name on the board. My personal name once got in an argument with another poster. Admin IM’d me and told me to moderate myself.
Oh.the.shame.
Did you admonish yourself?
I realize this is a just a silly thread, but just in case anyone did want a more serious take on this, we did discuss the article in ATMB.
As is, we’re all safe. No mods here have that level of power, to shut down the board and prevent people from posting.
Just watch out for the return of Marley the banninator…
There is a joke in there somewhere, I’m sure of it.
