More moderators here than users??

[Guest xforeverxmetalx]

I think he's got a point. So far in this thread, one third of the posters are mods. Still less than regular posters, but it's definitely not a kabillion to 8-9.

Haha...... no.

I only wanted to show Funkytown n' Wingnut who is the man.

Or he has authority issues.

But, it's the same mods. Pam talks alot and she's rubbing off on me.

I do not talk a lot. Have you once even heard me talk on this site? Huh?

But he's talking about moderators. You don't think moderators wouldn't respond to a thread about them?

You: Posts: 28,288

Me: Posts: 3,846

[dorave]

Sorry, this is "the man"

But does your husband know about this?

[pam]

Why do you think I'm not married?

That's not talking. That's typing. There is a difference.

[dorave]

Why do you think I'm not married?

Yeah coz they do say all women are single online huh

[beefche]

Well, let's take a vote of those who attend the get-togethers--I seem to remember someone dominating the conversation with certain wait staff and we actually had to ask this person to ask the wait staff to get us water!

Let's not start to get insulting now.

Sure, but that doesn't mean other people won't as well. And if you want more evidence, half the posters in the Pizza Burger thread are mods.

[dorave]

What he said

Yeah, ur lucky I'm not a mod.

[Dravin]

Yeah, but I'm worth about 10 mods in 1.

If that's the case you are the last person that should be picked because you'll skew the ratio even further... or the best I suppose depending on how you look at it.

Of course why he desires to be a moderator when "the problem is with moderating imo, the feeling of power one must have when they can moderate, delete, and edit anothers speech is too much powerful for anyone" (http://www.lds.net/forums/general-discussion/32047-accurate-statement-regarding-discussion-forums.html#post501359) is beyond me.

So we like pizza and burgers.

[talisyn]

I like the moderator comments. These are neat people with opinions I respect. I also like the posts from people like me, who will never be mods

It's all good, grab an ice-cold soda and enjoy the summer.

Very smart. You get a gold star from me.

[Mahone]

Oh and btw 1,747 equals one kabillion. So Beefche was correct.

By definition, kabillion = any large number (even if it is slang). I'd say 1,747 is fairly large so yes, she was indeed correct.

its cos they're watching me. and they must like what they see.

[Wingnut]

Sorry, this is "the man"

This is a man I'd much rather be shown, too.

[john doe]

Ok, dorave, we'll make you assistant TO the moderators--but that is between you and I. A kind of secret title to be used sparingly.

Someone's been watching The Office.

The flaw in this logic is that moderators are asked and expected to be active on the site. That means moderators will read every thread and if they believe they have something to add to the discussion, they will. If you feel you are outnumbered, then you should encourage the lurkers to post more, not ask moderators to post less.

Oh, my! Who is THAT?

I would consider giving up my Johnny for him!

Well, maybe not. but still . . . .

I've never been active on a board where the mods didn't post regularly. In fact, it's a little surprising to me that Heather posts so rarely.

Don't most mods post often on their respective boards?
