About being a Mod

[Pamela]

Something I have always wanted to come out and say, but I was too afraid to actually make the post.

Very well said Pam, I had my own experiance of someone asking me to PM a super mod and ask for someone else to be unbanned recently. I just shook my head as I would have not done it even if he had paid me (I am not going to mention names here).

I love the comment in making a "campaign for mod" too. It reminds me of someone, who again, will remain nameless.

The whole point of the post was to point out that being a mod or Super Mod or Admin is not going to make you powerful if this is what you are hoping.
Forum abilities? yah..sure...you will have those...but respect you have to earn.When someone comes to me and asks me to ask another to make them a Mod...it really pisses me off.
Moderating takes wisdom and hours of reading over threads and reported threads.
Knowing where to move a post or a thread.
Being strong enough to warn with validity,and being strong enough to face the criticism that (always) follows any choice you make.

You can not please everyone...and guess what?
It is NOT THEIR JOB...to please you.
Whow! Thats an insite!
The job they do is specific given whatever Forum they are assigned to.
If SuperMod...I salute/pray for you.
te function of being in charge is to make decisions...and raise your hand if you want a moron making decisions.

I didn't think so.
Now let them do their jobs and if you have issues take it up with that individual.
If you feel you can not handle this report the post and send a Mod a PM....do NOT go running off to an Instant Messenger to tattletale/whine/be idiotic...to a person that A)Can't help you B) Suddenly thinks you lost all of your brainwaves.
