Practise Mod. You?

    So, in homage to the other practise threads, I wonder do you know of a Practise Mod. Someone who has authority over an area on the internet in which you are interested. Whose authority doesn't need them to know what they are talking about, what you are talking about, or indeed anything but the letter of the sacred Charter

    I know you lot can do better with this than I, so please make improvements as you see fit. Meanwhile, mods, do you see yourself here? Posters, is your fave mod to be found in the below?

    1 Do you rule with a rod of iron when a feather would do so the mere mortals know you are The Man?

    2 Do you gush with pride when Vexorg remarks positively on one of your posts

    3 You hurry to the defense of fellow mods in Feedback because some day it may be you?

    4 Do you have a beard so posters on an internet forum who can't see you anyway will take you more seriously?

    5 Are you just big boned and it's not a physique made from 23:45hrs per day spent on PI

    6 Have you favourite posters you'd never infract because they share your interest in >insert topic here<

    7 You can't walk because legs are meant to be crossed!

    8 You took out a subscription so you could have name changes

    9 The forum you moderate is not for splitting

    10 You are not and will never be Ruu

    You should have thought of that BEFORE you posted.
    Some of us here are quite emotional and we can get hurt and insulted very easily...

    Do you mean me? How dare you? That is so hurtful and insulting. Men are pigs. :(

    A practice mod is someone who's a moderator but not of a proper forum (e.g. Transformers) and is using it to perfect their moderating skills until they get a real modship (e.g. AH, Personal Issues). Mordeth is an obvious success story (Discworld to After Hours).

    And don't tell me I did the reverse because Alt&Indie IS a proper forum :mad:

    But it doesn't really work like that. It's not a hierarchy of forums...

    I'm of the opinion that this thread is made of fail. Bad show nipplenuts.

    Pfft.... If I remember rightly there was a thread about magic trick sharing in Feedback from some amateur magic man in which in came out that a certain recently made mod of M&I doesn't even have magic powers.
