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

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.

Doesn’t sound right.

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.

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.

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.

-ster is feminine in Middle English.

Spoil my wordplay with facts, will you, you orix![sup]1[/sup] Do you think you’re some kind of auctrix[sup]2[/sup], you bōster?[sup]3[/sup] I can’t quite call you a leiƷster[sup]4[/sup], but why should I suffer the tongue of a conciontrix?[sup]5[/sup] Against you I shall send legions of balesters[sup]6[/sup] and barresters[sup]7[/sup], all male, until you need weilsters.[sup]8[/sup] Oh, there will be sleiƷster[sup]9[/sup], sister!

(PS: If you’re not a woman, would you mind pretending for the sake of this post?)

[sup]1[/sup] a kind of bird similar to a guinea hen
[sup]2[/sup] a woman whose opinion or statement is accepted as authoritative
[sup]3[/sup] braggart, boaster, arrogant person
[sup]4[/sup] a liar (female)
[sup]5[/sup] a woman who harangues the people
[sup]6[/sup] crossbowmen
[sup]7[/sup] barristers, lawyers
[sup]8[/sup] professional female mourner, ‘wailster’
[sup]9[/sup] slaughter

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? :slight_smile:

Read “Omoo” yet?

I would never have said that, but I knew it was coming.

You’re scary, Lynn!

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

I was to get there when the facts were in.
