seriously though, what are the criteria for mods? What qualifications are necessary? Not that I really want to be a mod. I'd be too lenient. I'd let everything go. babe threads . spam threads . foreign language threads sex with dead deer threads

I just had a little bit of sick come up into my mouth.

Thanks for the thoughts. I think, scary as it may seem, it would just be to carry on as normal, but accept that for a few weeks I'll still be learning (and thus probably slightly more lenient - letting something go in the first couple of weeks is a lot, lot better than unnecessary deletions and such). It's just up to me to learn how things run and then I can try and keep a consistent level of modding

I know it might sound like heresy here, but please remember that your degree is worth a whole lot more than keeping we unruly scum in our place, and will be for the rest of your life.

Unless you want to put this on your CV.

Hehe... I'm sure my tutors will remind me. But really, it's impossible to do more than 6 or 7 hours of revision in a day, so it leaves plenty of time for everything else Also, I already have a job that's dependant on a 2:1, and I'm *really* not going to miss that.

Although not Staff I do Moderate 2 Forums here and will say I use my take on Moderating the same as my managing my people. I have only 46 employees currently but do so in a respectfull manner and require such on both ways. But eventually it has to be in some cases me having to enforce a rule. I never look at it as "I had to suspend" or I had to "punish" someone. I only act as a traffic cop so to speak, they do the offense I execute the time

Basically if a person is within reason I let things go that are minimal, until the time to draw the line. Then ya get to earn that $ 50.00 US Dollars per banning fee

Maybe pick a point between the three of these guys and thats a good starting point before making a judgement call

Hey, I was young when I wrote that!

Ah, the indiscretions of youth. Well, I suppose we could be persuaded to overlook it...

Can you access Apolyton from the Brian Blessed common room?

[Flubber]

Good. Being a dedicated Alpha Centauri player demonstrates his obvious intelligence.

[SlowwHand]

Yeah, right.
