    just wondering how many mods/admin the site has?

    is much work involved? do you have to spend hours after work doing your part time job?

    who picks and who decides?

    do you keep in contact with mods from other boards realms?

    Im not looking to join the dark side, just want an idea of how big this organisation in and how much planning/ work goes into it

    Finally, are you all power hungry??:)

    It's relentless. Like Hotel California, you can check out anytime you want but you can never leave. So many hookers and coke, it's tough.

    Why didn't you say so in the thread title instead of dressing it up as something else? Hmmm?:)

    You can see the site stats here:

    http://www.boards.ie/content/about-us

    it takes 30 admins and 628 mods.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,570 ✭✭✭Mint Aero


    Fair play to them. I'd love to ban the sh*t out of some people here and ejaculate my mod all over posters but i'd be **** at it. No way would I put the hours in and the like.

    I really want to launch into a tirade of banned phrases in the dublin vernacular.

    I'm afraid to sleep too. The hookers might steal our stuff.

    The fact that you're afraid to get a ban gives more power to them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,971 ✭✭✭✭scudzilla


    Quite a few of 'em, and the best thing is i have 4/5 on ignore ;)

    My forum is pretty easy mod wise, we've a good regular members base so any problems and its reported and one of the mods will respond, big events can be harder like EP or events with hassle it (Swedish House Maffia was a biggie where the thread exploded).

    I can mod around work/when im out and out as I have my phone on me so its not like I sit down and think "ok time to mod!"

    I don't think any mod is power hungry, they wouldn't last long.

    what a pleasant answer. thank you

    im also looking for the dirty side of modding, the snuff movies, the violence, the drug stories.

    Has a mod ever gone rogue?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 401 ✭✭theblaqueguy


    As a mod in training I can tell you its very hard work no breaks during a 12 hour shift
    Watching over the forum like a peeping tom spying on the ladies changing room


    And yes I am power hungry I want as much banning power as I can get so I can ban whoever I want whenever I want with little or no reason given for the ban


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,094 ✭✭✭wretcheddomain


    If this was my forum, I'd ban all the Mods and let loose a posting free for all where you don't have to fear, for example, another poster in another thread described how he was banned for posting Fat Rabbitte. In my forum, not only would a comment like that be permitted but it'd be actively emblazoned in the forum charter.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,473 ✭✭✭✭Super-Rush


    I'm going to direct you to the feedback or helpdesk forums.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,622 ✭✭✭Ruu


    Just one mod/site admin really, just multiple accounts to make it look like there is more. A script/bot runs the whole show.
