Moderators and Trolls

Oranage2

So after reading a few prison and dispute resolution threads, a lot of the time the admin will say something like you've wasted enough of our mods time.

This got me wondering, isn't the whole thing about having mods is to ban people so their moderation time is basically just dedicated to banning people or dealing with trolls.

So my question is what would mods do if there were no trolls?

Um. Yeah. While we're at it - which came first the chicken or the egg??

Speaking of Mods and Trolls, have you ever seen a mod and a troll in the same place at the same time? Just sayin...

Meh. Everyone knows that mods themselves troll under top-secret troll-sock-puppets to justify their cushy-number-well-paid positions of power and godness.

Well i would imagine that over the process of evolving,the creature (lets remember a chicken didn't exist yet) laid eggs for a long time,until one day the chicken hatched from the egg.

Some times 'Mod' and 'Troll' are not mutually exclusive.

Exactly. The first chicken was the offspring of nearly-chickens, so the egg had to come first.

An avian descendant of dinosaurs which had very nearly, but not quite, evolved into what we would recognise as the modern chicken, laid the first egg that produced the first chicken.

So if your asking strictly about chicken eggs, as in eggs that chickens come out of, it's the egg.

Do something worthwhile with their time, presumably

Much to the disappointment of the chicken.

I could never understand the mindset of a troll. What kind of kick do they get out of it?

No, the one true religion that is creationism tells us that evolution is an evil myth, so obviously the chicken game first

They don't make them like they used to. Even the ones who think they do it well, don't.

I think the biggest troll I fell for was perpetrated by AH Mods. (The closing of the "thinly veiled" poll)

My outrage was outrageous.

I thought troll weren't real until I saw this film about them
