You misunderstand KK. He's applying the principle of moderate excessiveness. (He's ****ing with you ;))
But in a friendly way like :) |
Re: What exactly does it take to become a mod?
I was just commenting on the fact that he used 'oxymoron' as a noun. Didn't know you could do that?
Am I being a total idiot? |
He's just being playful with the language man. Native speaker's perogative to be ungrammatically correct and that ;)

Re: What exactly does it take to become a mod?
Fair enough. :) I wasn't lashing out and I'm sorry if it looked like that. I want to learn this stuff.

KK, when someone mentions an oxymoron they usually mean stuff like "Millitary Intelligence", "Creationist Science" or "President George W. Bush".. Oh wait, that was just a moron. :D |
Re: What exactly does it take to become a mod?
IMO, it's takes a willingness to read every post, keep your personal feelings out of everything on site as much as possible and listen to every complainer complain.
Which is why I don't want to be a mod! |

I know you said, "In your opinion", but I want to reply . . .

I don't think there's a single mod out there that does this. Well, unless their board doesn't get much activity. This board is waaaaay too active for that. Which is a good thing, yep! I'd hope the bulk of the members here would want to know us a little better than that. Unless I'm taking this wrong. Now this I can do. I have a habit of dissecting certain situations, as well. Now don't I!?! :p As to your post, I'm probably not in the loop of what you are talking about but in any case I got lost. |
Re: What exactly does it take to become a mod?
I'm saying that I've never witness a mod that's read every last post on a board. I doubt any do. Who has that kind of time? Personally, I could only pull something like that off, if I never did all those things in my signature.
This is what I was confused about . . . keep your personal feelings out of everything on site as much as possible I assumed you meant that the moderators shouldn't share their opinions on religion, politics, etc . . . Did you mean something else? I'm just making sure I understand your list. |
Re: What exactly does it take to become a mod?
I'm sure he didn't mean personality... You wouldn't be nearly as entertaining. :p

And yes, they have to walk the fine line between posting like anyone else and keeping their personal feelings to themselves during mod decisions or conflicts. |
Well damn, I'm just a loose cannon then.

Re: What exactly does it take to become a mod?
I hear tell though, that you have mellowed in your *cough* advanced age. :D
|
Nope. The other mods chase away trolls before I have time to bait them. :D

Seriously though, I'm glad that's not a requirement for this board. It's filled with way too many trustworthy people. This is the coolest board on the net! :yup: |
Re: What exactly does it take to become a mod?
The mod's on this forum are probably the best I have ever seen. This is not arse kissing as I disagree with most of them some of the time, or is that some of them most of the time? Anyway, there is an eclectic feeling of commradarie that pours forth from "our" mods here. They are, to me, family and they put up with me as such, so yeah, I love our mods.
