Why would you want to be or do anything.

Mr Benevolent

Hookers, coke, banhammers and the chance to read every single opinion in the forum. It's not much fun but they do a great job.

*Don't know about this forum in particular but I had heard rumours about the Shooting forum perks involving "coke & hookers."

Then I got offered the job and discovered, much to my horror, like a Chinese whisper the situation was unveiled as being "cake & hackers". :eek:

Now, with the state of the country we've experienced savage austerity measures from the powers that be, being reduced now to mostly "cranky & hacked off". :mad:

Plus, i'd imagine, to give something back.

Duggy747

Imagine having the power.......................the power to say:

"Hey baby, you know I moderate a forum? Heh, that's right baby, feel my hand.............the hand that's banned a thousand members for not posting in accordance to the forum charter. Ooooooh yea! Where's that midget with the tray of coke on his head?"

It's the power... authority figure makes mods attractive!

Do you not spend ages clearing your shoes of women?

Orando Broom

I was a mod once. A good one. But one night, real late a big SQL storm blew up. I was trying to get all the users out of the forum to safe internets. I'd got them all, well I thought I did when I got a PM, one was left behind. He was posting a large picture of Homer Simpson saying doh. The file was large real, large it had all but shut him down. Well that SQL came roaring through and I lost him.

After that I spent months reading CNN and Time and I never went back to Moderatin' again.

I am a woman with very loose morals...
but alas I only loosen my morals for mods from the West of the country..

If I can find out the names of the women with loose morals interested in AH mods I will forward them on to you.

Admit it, you moderate your two forums for a Venn Diagram of those you can get! :P When people use both they are in the palm of your hand!

There's a pay scale.
The busier the forum and the more bans, infractions and warnings that you hand out, the more you get paid.

I moderate a relatively quiet forum. We get the odd dick coming in and stating the obvious (wrestling is fake). Other than that, it doesn't really require any moderating.
It doesn't pay too well, but I'm happy enough with it.

The bigger forums (AH, PI and the like) attract more muppets. As a result, the mods are paid more.

Boards.ie pay the mods in the form of drugs and/or hookers. It all depends on the gender of the mods in question.

It used to be coke and hookers for all, but times have changed.

Male mods still get coke and hookers. Female mods get crystal meth instead of coke because it heightens their sex drive. Instead of hookers they are given a choice of choosing the man of their dreams (the crystal meth distorts their vision, so this is quite easy), or getting the address of a troll and turning up at his/her door with the promise of no strings sex.

I have 37 other accounts set up in the hope of being visited by one of the female mods after I get an account banned for trolling. I live in hope.

I do like a man in power myself, needs to have more power than a mod though :pac:

In my head it seemed funny......

The guy (irish stew)was looking for loose moralled women interested in AH mods...

So I posted saying I like mods from west..cos he is a mod of sligo...

Joke failure.....

Now the 2 mods in Galway will think I'm a slapper chasing them.......

Sometimes my brain makes up stupid jokes all by itself......... :rolleyes:
