    A mad idea popped into my head: what would you do if you were asked to be a mod of some random forum here that you either didn't have a clue about, or you didn't like?

    Would you become a mod for it, or not? For example... fashion? :pac:

    Surely you'd only be asked to mod a forum if you were an active contributor in it? :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,897 ✭✭✭MagicSean


    I'd go for it. In Boards, first you get thanks, then you get the mod status, then you get the women.

    Or in other words

    1) Mod status
    2) ?
    3) Women/Profit

    Custom status, plus you could be totally impartial on all topics.

    I think you have to be fairly knowledgable about a forum before they'll make you a mod. I think you have to be a regular contributor, don't you?

    That's what I thought too, but it doesn't happen like that. I haven't had any women since I became a Mod :(

    Fashion ? No bother same answer to every question : "Jaysus it'd look lovely on ya".

    Then BOOM bans for all : Autobahn, Ban Morrison, Chitty Chitty Ban Ban, Wham Ban Thank You Mam, Antonio Ban-There-Boss, A Rubber Ban, Ban Ki Moon.......

    ......okay it'd probably go to my head. I resign in advance from any Mod opening.

    Do you not have to be a pimply -faced nerd in some obscure IT establishment to be a Mod around here?

    Is there a mod of the mustard forum?

    And if there is, do all the other mods take the piss out of him/her?

    Incorrect, all you have to do is start a thread in feedback and plead your case. If you can convince the admins you're in


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 152 ✭✭Feckfox


    When I was younger, I posted on a gaming forum a lot. I really, really wanted to be a mod for some reason.

    Then I grew up and you'd have to pay me to be a mod :D. At least that other message board was small and didn't make any profit. Boards.ie is a company that makes money :p

    So.. no I wouldn't be a mod of any random forum or a non-random one.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,148 ✭✭✭✭KnifeWRENCH


    Damn, I thought they had set up a forum called the "Random forum". I totally could have modded that.... :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,349 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    Honestly can't understand why someone would want the hassle. Maybe a small and focused forum with a decent community could be decent, but modding something like After Hours or Soccer? It'd be like an unpaid second job.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,272 ✭✭✭EverEvolving


    Damn, I thought they had set up a forum called the "Random forum". I totally could have modded that.... :(

    I can see it now - the first thread would be a mega argument about the gratuitous use of the word ‘Random’ and chaos would descend from there :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,178 ✭✭✭✭NothingMan


    I'd mod the "fuck a mod" forum, but outside that I don't see the upside to it really. It's time consuming and thankless and you certainly can't put it on your CV.

    "so you're a mod on a popular internet forum ey?"

    "Yes, I am." *smugly said*

    "So if we hire you you'll be spending countless hours on the internet ignoring your duties and deleting "yore ma" posts?"

    "eh.....banned"

    I will never become a moderator for boards.ie

    Frankly, while i enjoy the forums, i dont have the patience to deal with moderating.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,335 ✭✭✭✭UrbanSea


    I think this happens anyway. One of the people who were made a mod after two other mods left I personally have never seen him comment in the forum.

    I'm glad to say I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. But that's the second time on the thread you've assumed I've been talking about girls bits. Is there anything you want to share? I won't tell anyone, I'm very discrete...

    It was a pretty funny thread in mustard :)

    Nah nothing to share about my girl bits, but when i'm finished with Hot Lips i'll give ya a buzz (in every sense of the word ;))

    :P

    I'd imagine the spicier mustards would irritate the nipples.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,080 ✭✭✭✭Big Nasty


    You know all this 1,2,3,4 stuff?

    I never see the point in 3 at all!

    ???


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,819 ✭✭✭✭g'em


    I'd imagine the spicier mustards would irritate the nipples.

    I'd be more afraid of the wholegrain bits getting stuck up th... no. Too far. No pun intended.
