	Mod For A Day Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

I think everyone should be given the opportunity to be a mod for a day. This would encourage a sense of responsibility and greatly increase the maturity level of the site. Sure we would have to put up with those who would abuse their power.

Provost
Eli
Horsie
Among others



But on the other hand you learn so much about a person when you give them a little power.

Sprayber, being a Civ site mod is to have power?

I think everyone should be ruler of their own Civ...

Hmm, I have a feeling this has something to do with a conversation of last night.

They would see things differently from the other side of the street, that's for sure.

I would take the rules back to what they were about 2 years ago - multiple threads, high spam tolerance, Ming coming in and going "Oh my, oh my!"

It was great when Ming got all flustered and panicky after he saw what the kiddies had been doing in his absence He'd try and clean it all up before MarkG came online

Ah those were the days

Now we all know that Ming wields the real power around here. Now MarkG is scurrying around before Ming comes online, making sure all the forums are squeaky clean and all the crashes have been covered up.

He knows what a vile temper Ming has. It is reputed once that after a major forum crash, that Ming posted a big cowsh*t all the way to Greece to show his disgust.

Things have really gotten civilized since we starting having mods. Why I can remember when the forums were unmodded and invasions caused the site to be threatened with shutdown...[/old West voice]

And recall when we discovered how much fun you could have with double logins (sorry AH and PH, you kiddies weren’t here back then ), all of a sudden dl's with names near identical to existent members sprung up, imitating and ridiculing them... Dominikos went berserk when he saw Dominicos, Doiminikos and other twins arguing with him, Gregor made fun of my chocolates, I pestered History049... got banned for a week with it too.

Back then the admins attempted to fight dl's by actively searching for it, but the deluge was too large to handle and it has been given up a long time ago...

I'm sure you could easily recognize spam and spammers, Ras!

Actually, Moderating is more about don'ts then do's.

Don't get mad.
Don't get personal.
Don't favor one person over another.
Don't hold grudges.
Don't follow the rules to the letter, be flexible.
Don't except bullsh1t.
Don't get pushed around.
Don't be thinned skin.

The major "do" is be fair.

A lot of you have no concept of how hard it is NOT to tee-off on a moronic poster, but instead to be polite to said idiot.
Also, most trouble makers are repeat offenders, and long time pain in the butts.

But this is just one man's opinion.
