Interview the Mods

[Gregorius]

And your point would be??? we are having to discuss a topic and possibly debate an issue. OMG who would do that THAT on a Forum

It was a comment made in jest because Sky raised a good question and was right.

It's an abomination teehee (that's right, i laugh at my own jokes!)

What is the story behind the fuzzy pink rat thing? (dish, dish, dish) i've heard snippits but nothing that makes much sence

[Skydiver]

Pray tell

*sits down on the story telling mat with legs crossed and stares up expectantly*

[Skydiver]

Major Clanger, one of our ex-mods, got her name from this
http://www.clangers.co.uk/

a british tv show

[ebethman]

What the . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I was just messing with you

what happens when a mod breaks the rules?

Mods don't break the rules

there tie them to a pole and then thew members are allowed to dress them up as whatever there see fit for all the forum to see

and we let people point and laugh

[ebethman]

The ocational vegtable is thrown

[ParadoxRealities]

As for mods having a second account... it'd be enough to make ya paranoid, eh? There you are, having a nice rant at someone about what a horrible, domineering, scummy person Sky is and then you find out, IT IS SKY!! OMGBANNEDFORLIFE!! Heh. I think they probably don't, but if they did I doubt they'd admit it.

either way, you're still more likely to run into a friend of that horrible terrible mod that that'll PM them the conversation. ...you guys do have friends right?

and we let people point and laugh

really? i thought we took all their shoes.

[TameFarrar]

Also when a post gets deleted it gets made invisible while it remains in the thread right? (It could also be transfered to a trash bin forum) But do you suppliment those posts with comments containing the reasoning as to why it has been deleted?

As for deleted threads, they go to a forum trash bin I assume? Do the mods supply comments with the reasons for their decision in those deleted threads?

Just to expound on this question

When we *soft delete* a post we do normally leave a note on it so other Mods can see our reasons for deletion. That way if one of us has an issue with it we can discuss it back in the Mod Forum.

We have been known to go back and just {snip} out sections of a previously deleted post after discussions because due to the fact that this forum is world wide some things don't always have the same meaning in one country that they do in another.
So we discuss that, weigh the pros and cons of the offensiveness and snip out what needs to go but leave what can be left so the person in question can still have their post.

Then we inform the person that select things are not accepted *Globally* and can not be posted here

This also helps us update the filters so they apply on a more *World-wide* basis.

Deleted threads are treated the same way for the most part unless as Skydiver said they are just completely irredeemable. Then they go to the *thread-dump*. We can still see them but you can't BUWhahahahaha

Mods don't break the rules

Dude i loves ya but we both know thats not true

[Gregorius]

Question time: How many PMs do you get on average notifying you that you were wrong and are a meany for closing/deleting posts and threads?

...it will take them a while to count them . We'll wait here two weeks for an answer .

You could call it a "pink rat"? Aren't those fighting words?

[Gregorius]

Are we going to see The Spoon vs The Noodle?

Question for the mods: Who would win if The Spoon, The Noodle, the Hug and the Paddle would enter a Battle Royale?

[SunKrux]

can we ask for autographs too ?

Can we ask for hugs? Can we drone on endlessly about our lives before we ever get to the question? ;D
