Why would you want to be or do anything.

Mr Benevolent · 21-10-2010 09:53PM

Hookers, coke, banhammers and the chance to read every single opinion in the forum. It's not much fun but they do a great job.

*Don't know about this forum in particular but I had heard rumours about the Shooting forum perks involving "coke & hookers."

Then I got offered the job and discovered, much to my horror, like a Chinese whisper the situation was unveiled as being "cake & hackers". :eek:

Now, with the state of the country we've experienced savage austerity measures from the powers that be, being reduced now to mostly "cranky & hacked off". :mad:

Cos I can talk in bold and close threads.

Micky Dolenz · 21-10-2010 10:03PM

And then I can reopen them, It's mighty craic. :pac:

alwaysadub · 21-10-2010 10:04PM

To get a big banhammer.

Plus, i'd imagine, to give something back.

Duggy747 · 21-10-2010 10:04PM

Imagine having the power.......................the power to say:

"Hey baby, you know I moderate a forum? Heh, that's right baby, feel my hand.............the hand that's banned a thousand members for not posting in accordance to the forum charter. Ooooooh yea! Where's that midget with the tray of coke on his head?"

I have heard of certain loose moralled ladies who specifically target Mods particularily AH mods, I won't say who, but apparently, they do exist!
