Since this sounds rather timely. LOL
If you were asked.. What would be your reason/s (motivations?) for wanting to become a MOD?
Perks, popularity, celebrity status, first pickings off the litter, spying on people, power, control, dominance, greed etc.
Discuss!! LOL :lol:
~Kisses.

Im a mod on 4 Yahoo groups,my website and used to be a mod on a very popular non TS specific Bangkok forum....
Perks?...None...it sucks ass...lotta work and nobody is ever happy.
As a mod on some technical board I must agree on it...I`m facing a people with lack of domestic education/coaching - it`s drives me mad...Quote:

Power: the ability to "vote people off the island" unilaterally appeals to me. HA mods complain about getting too many frivolous pms complaining about others. If I were mod I'd allow everyone only one pm a month. If that number were exceeded the offender would be immediately banned for life. That would certainly cut down on my work load as mod. :>)
Hmmmmmmmmmmm let's see
- the acclaim of meeting a bunch of people and interacting with folks who share the same interest
the absence of any free time once you're a mod and off work because the phone and/or IM program never stops ringing or beeping
putting up with every John or Jane Doe who wants to know why they were banned, forgetting that they might have done something to warrant it
deleting 100's upon 100's of pics people call you or IM you about because some idiot photographer chose to not edit their work, but just post it on a site anyone can register and access and possibly exploit
receiving nasty text or voice messages because you did something on a 'website' that someone did not agree with, not money stolen, not a murder, not a hit & run via a vehicle: a fucking action on a website
getting calls from chicks or IM's from chicks that threaten to call the government on you about your website because some idiot posted a pic up of some one underaged and were to upset to simply ask for it's deletion
hmmmmmmmm, the list goes on & on
those are some of the reasons it's great to be a mod
O.K. lets say it , Hara_Juku Tgirl MUST be a mod at HA
who votes yes? I do 8)
I think she'd be a great MOD. Very intelligent and I'm sure very fair and unbiased. I say, "give her the power".Quote:

I don't think Hara Juku girl has the time to be a mod. She may have to quit or scale back her other activities in order to earn the "big bucks" the mods earn. :>)
