If I remember rightly, to become a mod you must:

1. Buy a parka and decorate it with Union Jacks, RAF roundels and other British emblems.

2. Listen to the right kind of music (beginning of course with The Who).

3. Ride round town on a scooter.

4. Pick fights with punks, skinheads and anyone else who doesn't like mods.

P.S. When I say "remember" I'm talking about the mod revival of 1978-80. I'm not all that old!

P.P.S. I was never a mod myself, though I often got accused of being one (mostly by punks and skinheads looking for a mod to beat up) because of the green parka which I'd unwisely bought.

P.P.P.S. Those were the days...

P.P.P.P.S. If you're too young to have a clue what I'm wittering on about check out Mod revival - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

I have a question about moderators myself. When I was in the Marines we called the restroom the "head". Does that mean those with the title "Head Moderator" are in charge of the restrooms.:)

No, it just means that they are potty mouths. :D

Do you think the head mods will consider this a place to "dump" on them? I mean, I don't want them to get "flushed" and red in the face. They should just consider how they "bowl" us over with their wisdom.

Not saying I'm interested, just curious. What's it take to become an LDS.net Moderator? :king:

"Many are called but few are chosen."

That's why we don't "aspire" to positions!

I'm humble enough to just be a poster. :D

So really, the whole MOD program is like a rehabilitation program for troublemakers? Like taking the noisy kids in Primary and making them reverence examples? I see, I see. It's starting to make sense now...

If the program was backfiring would they even admit it or would it be the greatest cover up in .net history?

"Many are called but few are chosen."

Seeing that quote brought back fond memories from many moons ago. We had two sharp missionaries that altered that a bit when talking about investigators. "Many are cold but few are frozen" Don't know if they thought that up or if they heard it from someone else. Haven't thought of that in years. Thanks skippy

I think this is the one that got me in:

  • The person does not need to be any certain faith, but needs to demonstrate that they understand and follow the rules of the site and expect others to do the same. As we have a diverse site, it's important to me that the moderating staff is diverse as well.
You see--I'm very diverse. :D

I remember praying, when the call came, "Lord, if possible, take this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will . . . " Instead of taking it away, one of his junior angels dumped it on me. :lol:
