    I was thinking about this last night (Yes! i have no life), and i have a few questions me needs answering!
    Whats the deal with the mods on here?
    How did you become mods in the first place?
    Do you guys get paid for being mods?
    Are you constantly monitoring boards at all hours?, say if i was on boards at 4am in the morning or something and posted a really offensive comment about someone, would a mod be monitoring even at that time in the morn?
    Had a few more questions that i cant think of now, doh!:)

    I think the technical term is 'inbreeding'.

    How did you become mods in the first place?
    If a mod falls off your chimney and you put on his/her clothes, you become a mod

    Do you guys get paid for being mods?
    They do. Don't believe the 'coke and hookers' thing you hear. They get paid in blocks of gold. Where do you think the jewellery you send to CashMyGold really goes? Exactly
    Are you constantly monitoring boards at all hours?, say if i was on boards at 4am in the morning or something and posted a really offensive comment about someone, would a mod be monitoring even at that time in the morn?

    Just because its 4am where you are that doesn't mean its 4am everywhere else in the world.

    (Replace the lollipop with ass)+(geek)+(good record)+(devote your life to boards)+(have no life) = eligibility for modhood.
    Do you guys get paid for being mods?

    They don't, which again shows how sad they are given the amount of hours they put in.

    There are a few nocturnal dole-mods who fulfill that duty I believe.

    /ruins chances of ever becoming a mod + after hours ban

    How did you become mods in the first place?

    After using the forum I moderator on for awhile, and feeling I was fitting in well and had something positive to contribute I simply PM'd the existing moderators and asked them to consider me as a replacement should one step down.
    Do you guys get paid for being mods?

    Nope.

    Really depends, but we're not required to do any more hours than any other user.

    When I log on I check for reported posts and deal with them as required.

    I have two very good forum to moderate on, and I like to give them 'soft touch' moderating - the guys are all good and don't act the sack, so life is easy moderating them.

    Had a few more questions that i cant think of now, doh!:)

    If you think of anything and its not getting answered here please feel free to PM me and I'll give you straight, honest answers.

    You just do a little trial. First you sniff it, then you're asked to take it in your hand. Then it's time to put it in your mouth and slosh it around a little. When you've gotten everything you need from it you just swallow it down, smile and ask the tired looking man for another. I love wine.

    Seriously though OP, modding is just something you do to help out a little. It's not a big deal.

    Makes you wonder what would happen if the mods did ask daft.ie etc for something in return for what the do. What if they organised themselves into a union or something and flexed their muscles!

    Would be weird.
