I think the veil on your hostility is slipping hon. Might want to adjust that.
hey wats your name on skype
It seems to me ABakker made a valid point earlier. Rightly or wrongly, I see moderators as servants of the community as a whole, acting as they do to keep this forum in-bounds and clean.
I have in mind what De Tocqueville had to say about the aristocraty in the old, feudal regime. And I hasten to add that I do NOT perceive moderators as aristocrats of the forum! But rather a necessary buffer between the company and the players using this place. Both to keep communications from user to company within reasonable limits of civility, and decisions of the company explained and even sometimes reversed by user protests channeled through Mods and Reps.
In short, a "courroie de transmission" between the company and users (I can't translate that expression!!! Transmission Belt, maybe??). Which is how old Alexis qualified the aristocraty.
I think of moderators as sheriffs and these forums as a wild west town.
Sometimes they just need to be janitors and tidy up some of the mess.
i think of them as people who keep the forums clean with the power of the sacred banhammer
(yes i know about the banhammer)
That would be the best job ever...
Well hopefully its people that are actually regulars on the forums as we all have seen how hiring people with 0 posts works.
Anyways I got shot down by admin, told me you 'have' to be 18, even though there have been mods younger then that.
Who told you that?
Which part?
