Sometimes a serious topic gets only 10 responses. Something like this, which is pure froth, goes nuts. You should check out Word Association, started by our 99 year old. That truly has a life of its own!

And it's St. John's wOrt, so named because it flowers around St. John's Day in June.  Didn't know there was one, did you?  Wort is a very old name for herb. I am just full of all sorts of useless stuff like that.

It is also a useful additive to massage oil or lotion to ease muscle aches.

oh well.

so what happened w/ being a mod. is it good or bad?
 
  • #112
There is no "good" or "bad" to being a moderator. Its just helping out. You watch topics, help when you can, alert admin to trouble, etc. There is no prestige or perks to it. We just help out The Great One Phil Crane who is busy running his business and selling lots o' plants to support this place. Thank you Phil.

I guess the closest to "bad" would be sometimes when we do our jobs to moderate topics (which might include editing or deleting), we get criticized or bashed for it.

That's not too fun. There aren't many rules here but there are a FEW. "Be nice."

All the mods are good folk though...always turn to them first if you have a problem. That's what we are here for.

Oh yeah...there is Ozzy....you'll have to kinda ignore him. He's had a tapeworm problem and we just keep him around out of pity. What's a guy to do that is only a shell of his former self...so sad...so sad..... Pass the cup for Ozzy....

  • #113
Yeah that tapework kicked my but to say least.
It's hard to hear that you guys keep me around just for pity.
sad.gif

I guess me and Spec just need to find another forum to be a part of. Anybody know of any tapeworm survivor forum?

  • #114
yea... if you're like that PAK, we're out of here!

So do you mods delete advertisements that pop up on this board or do some programs delete them for you. I noticed this site is very much clear of advertisements and such. Very nice. Is this one of those rare boards that hasnt been targeted yet for advertisement or do you have to activly delete it? I was just wondering because Iv seen quite a few other message boards overrun with ads.
 
  • #116
yeah i've seen so many message boards over run w/ ads it's nice to know these aren't. oh PAK you're back! cool! So when you become a mod. do you start off with a square?

When someone is made a mod, their "Group" designation is changed from "Members" to "Moderator".  I'm guessing the squares are part of a system that the mods are testing for indicating who has been warned and how often they have been warned.

Yes, those squares are to indicate warnings.

The mods have been doing a very thorough testing of the warning system on each other, to make sure that it works correctly. Very thorough.

So that's what you call it..."thorough". I'll have to remember that for work. "What? No, no, I'm just being thorough Boss!"
