That pic really showcases The Mug well. Nicely done. ETA: In search of SDMB swag I just went to the main SD home page which I havenā€™t seen in years. Sadly, thereā€™s no sign of an online store selling logo swag. Oh well. ---

> [@panache45](#): > > And I still have a genuine SDMB t-shirt. Iā€™d trade it for a mug. I have a T-shirt too, but I bought that (back when you could still buy those). And for what itā€™s worth, I have all the books too, but again, I had to fork over my own money for those. But the mug was a freebie. ---

Just curious, mods ā€“ how many times were you ā€œmoddedā€ (warned, etc.) before you became a moderator? ---

> [@Bone](#): > > I think there are three of us active mods that have had warnings. I am one of them. Not really surprising. You would know more about how the warning system works if you are familiar with it, having had a few warnings yourself, than if you never had a warning. I recall another thread in this forum where people who had never had a warning were confused about where they could even see the things, since those features are active only if you have something to look at. Me, Iā€™d be a bloody expert at this point. šŸ˜› [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-is-wrong-with-you-mods/783773.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-is-wrong-with-you-mods/783773.md?page=4)
