    Habits, people come back in certain topics or forums. And the views they discuss. Tend to be markers. Along with their style of language.

    And they come straight in with commentary about the thread, or other posters which indicates strong recent experience, while their post count is under 10.

    Re-reging isn't illegal in certain circumstances I expect, having more than one account at same time is and I presume if you've been perma-banned then it also is

    It'd depend what forum I'm moderating. Some look pretty straightforward. I don't think I'd be much good on AH. Too laid back and not on it enough to monitor it.

    As a matter if interest, how does someone even become a Mod on boards?

    I’d say you’d get awful tired of making that lame coke and hookers “joke” over, and over, and over, and over, again.

    The tide is turning…

    I was a mod on the MMA, Martial Arts, Dublin City and the Military Forum and honestly I hated it.

    No way I'd do it again and that's mostly down to feeling the admin and Cmods did not having my back.

    I was asked to moderator on AH a few years back, not a chance in hell. There's not enough hours in the day to moderate here and have a life away from AH.

    So what kind of Mod would I be?.. A very reluctant one.

    Probably one that forgets they are one, doesn't log in for weeks at a time and a quickly gets removed.

    id be quick to ban anyone unable to differentiate between disagreement with ideals from ad-hom

    posters claiming that their opinions needed a special platform or protection because of a personal characteristic of theirs would unfortunately find me unsympathetic.

    posters that post encyclopedic tracts of links and text without ever actually responding to any points made would be bounced out of the thread every time

    direct abuse a no no, but i think id be quicker than the policy tends to be here to identify the starting poster and hit them hardest.

    otherwise, light touch until needed, hammer as soon as i had cause.

    much love to the mods, who have an awful job with us lot here tbf

    I would be the Mod who logs on late at night when all the trolls, shills and arßeholes have already been banned.

    I'd be moderating myself as nobody would be posting.

    BuboBubo, flies in and does nowt. But still expects coke and hookers (male).

    I would probably be an anomaly, seeing as I have had the pleasure of satisfying a woman in bed.

    IP address and posting style would be my guess. I did moderator / admin for another site, tiny in comparison to boards and a more relaxed say, set of rules but regregs would be fairly instantly recognized. You can change your signup details... username, email, location, avatar all you want but if somebody reregs they’ll have the same interests, same way of expressing themselves, same tendencies to go off on one when a certain button or buttons are pushed.

    Useless.

    I'd just alternate between letting people run amok or arbitrarily picking on people that irritate me. Plus I'm not that good at those flirt/what did you have for dinner/hunzo chats although I do try.

    How about I mod everyone who has posted in this thread and see if the site lasts longer than the virus? I could see an exponential growth in bannings with a flattening of that curve after a week or so, last man/woman standing in another month or so get's a free Covid-19 test

    ( might or might not be some Mods included in that motley group :D )

    I'd like to be a mod in the Chicken Curry with Fried Rice and Chips Forum. Because I'd know what I was talking about. So I'd be a good fair mod in that :o
