quick question for the moderatorship Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

When a thread is deleted, is it truly deleted, or is it moved to the Mod forum (or some other record made of it)?

Just wondering

yeah it's moved to the mod forum so they can point and laugh.

And enjoy the fabulous Miami Heat cheerleader picture I posted in the thread that was just deleted. .

actually I was having a slow internet connection. I didn't mean to double post in that thread. It was werid because the second post I submitted was placed a minute earlier in that thread. The first post took a long time to show up in that thread (and was listed as a minute later)

The post is banished for all time and sent to the nether regions of Mingapulco, where no one will ever find it...

After the extraction of various hotties of course, to be savoured by the mods in private

Suffering from ads?

Some threads are moved to the mod forum for futher consideration, most are just outright deleted. If a record is made of them... I'd guess at no, but a mod will have to answer that one.

Very few threads are moved to the mod forum... most spam is just deleted. I keep general records so I can see if somebody is repeatedly doing something. I assume no other mod does.

You aren't mod for too long I guess. OTOH, a mod never spams. It's one of the Rules. And if a mod spams, it by default becomes non-spam.

1.) Noone who expresses a wish to become mod becomes one.
2.) It takes much, hard and timeconsuming work to function as a mod, remember. It's not certain you'd like it anyway.

That seems weird, only someone who would post such a thing is insane enough to give up the time it takes to be a mod.

Besides, posting random stupidities is the point of the OT and all the fun would go out of it if one had to be stern and reproachful.

Well Ming's punishment was weak - I guess he has just made himself too useful to be really punishable.

Rasbelin and Yin (from old threads discussing it, anyway) got it worse.
