Do moderators think they’re above the posters

[jjgold]

It’s a very prestigious job

when I was a moderator, I love the power and I did think I was better a higher status

Mods are cool as hell here and don't take themselves too seriously. It is part of what makes it a good place to post.

They look down on us as peons.

It’s a tough job & it doesn’t pay like it use to is what I’ve heard from multiple mods throughout forumville.

Prestigious to who and in what way? In the social pecking order - mod of a forum is a hair below “self proclaimed social media influencer”. Ever hear any stories of people pretending to be a mod at a gambling forum to impress women on dating sites vs say a doctor/airline pilot or other high paying role ?

I’d rather be a guard at county lockup than a mod - at least you get a chance to smack the inmates upside the head when they get out of line. What’s the best a mod can do - ban and then keep chasing off their ghost ?

No, but some delusional posters think they are BMR.

I think it depends on the person.

Someone with an inflated ego definitely has the potential to get out of control and turn into a maniac.

Being a mod has really changed @BobbyFK , I prefer Bobby as a scary debt collector that puts fear into posters. I liked the toughness in Bobby back in the day. He was a force and made posters squirm when they were late paying Tsoprano. Now, he is a gentle giant that wouldn't hurt a fly. I miss the old Bobby, the mod position changed him.

"love"

"Woman" is used when referring to a single female, while "women" is used when referring to multiple females; for example, "The woman at the front desk helped me" (singular), and "Several women attended the conference" (plural).

Moderators are here to help maintain a positive and respectful community, not to feel superior. It's about doing the job fairly and keeping things running smoothly. Everyone, whether a poster or a moderator, should be treated with respect. Power comes with responsibility, not status, IMO.

Delusion is a mental disease that’s for sure. These type of posters in front of their internet devices can be whomever they choose to be very sad actually self-awareness not their strength.

“Post of the day”. (Even though I may not follow these guidelines all the time, when I don’t there’s a method to my madness, so never forget that ! That goes out to any mod or poster.

I can't imagine if JJ were a moderator. That would be fun, I guess... or maybe not.

 

[jjgold]

We would target guys that we didn’t like make things harder for them not actually ban them, but try to get under their skin and then in group chat we would laugh our asses off.

The moderators are good

The paid posters are a much bigger forum problem

Only in his imagination was he ever a mod.
