    I knew a few Mods in my day. One was a sound chap, one was a petty scrote and another is a dish.

    That is all.

    How do you get made a moderator. Genuine question. Are you recruited? Do you request?

    I nearly spat my drink out laughing at this.

    Probably the greatest reward for being a mod. Hilarious posts.

    My favourite Prison thread.

    God that dude must've smoked serious stuff !

    A gracious public

    A moderator slows down the reactions in the core, if we didn't have it we would get a runaway reaction known as the china syndrome. Now I am sure you wouldn't want that to happen to boards.

    Irish Boards would over heat in a runaway chain reaction, melt through the Earth and merge with Chinese boards.

    Moderators are this boards heavy water, essential for our safety.

    Yes but we're not talking abouts mods are we ;) :pac:
    we are talking about the employment of guys who maintain the site from technical aspect. Not the mod aspect.

    There is the guys who maintain and develop the site from a tech aspect, but there is also others, the Community Manager and Community Services Representative for example.

    As has been said, there are more than 400 of us on the Mod Team, and we're all happy to do it, mainly just to give back to a site that we enjoy posting on and reading.

    Being a mod is good craic, but there'll always be a handful of dicks to ruin the fun. It's a thankless job for the most part and it takes up a lot of time if you're modding one of the busier fora.

    Now you know! Get on that quick before the good ones are taken!

    As a girlfriend of a mod I get to know everyone's secrets, and his forums are getting left to me when he dies.

    A lot less perks than I thought when I got into this :( Hoping to use his connections to get in with an Admin or above.

    Yes , essentially mods are regular users with a record of positive contributions to the forum , they are asked if they wish to become mods if a need arises.
    There is a school of thought that asking to be a mod is one way of ensuring you will never be one ;)

    Ah mod, great bunch of lads.

    Just normal blokes and gals doing their best so everybody can enjoy the site and then they also have to deal with d!cks and spammers.

    God bless you mods.

    Oh yes, he knows full well. He's just enjoying the time he has with me.

    Going to a party with a founder of the site soon, must get my game plan together.
