Have you ever been a moderator?

[zeromac]

I'm also global mod on this forum...which you'd never guess seeing that I never suspend, warn people or even close threads. I hardly ever slap my epenis about.

pfft yea right you warned me AND suspended me

It was for good reasons though

Haha, very funny...

I actually only frequent two boards (GBAtemp and the EZFlash US forums) and I am staff on both.

Never had any desire to make my own; why bother when someone else will do all the donkey work associated with running a server (I did slip recently and got stuck with setting up a bunch for people).

Only "sites" I have "owned" are little more than file hosting sites (maybe a line or three of text if truly necessary) for hosting/mirroring the odd tool/hack.

 

[Langin]

I was admin on an very old forum(closed) and an mod(forum is closed too)

 

[ProtoKun7]

I'm a moderator on two sites (one is a Wikidot site created by leiger, and the other one is going well, but we could do with some more traffic if anyone's interested

)

 

[mthrnite]

I was the sysop on a very crappy All American BBS running on a Commodore64, long before you guys were born

Didn't have a dedicated line tho, so it went nowhere.
Been a mod, global mod, supervisor here at the 'temp.

I'm currently eyeing Ace Gunman's admin position, and have been camping out under an inconspicuous cardboard box in his front yard for the past 2 weeks waiting for the guards to clear.

This poll is somewhat surprising. So many people have been mods before?

The only site that I was mod on failed. Horribly. It might have partly been my fault, but things would have been different if I was admin

We all are, didn't you know?

What box?

 

[Wallydraigle]

I administrate the forums at TFNN, which you've no doubt heard of.

 

[DarkSzero]

I started as a moderator in a forum about emulators. Eventually I got promoted to admin and then the forum was basically mine (technically I wasn't, but everyone knew that if you ever wanted something related to an admin, you had to contact me)
Eventually, after a couple years, the forum died.

 

[Velveteer]

I currently Administrate Pokenations but I worked my way up from a Mod. That's probably the only place worth mentioning that I've been staff.

 

[gtmtnbiker]

I'm a moderator at a gamecube forum. It's a lot of work on an active site. Sometimes you feel obligated to make sure each thread has an answer but in reality, you don't.

My biggest peeve is people not reading FAQs or searching the forums.

 

[Hells Guardian]

I was a mod and then an admin at GSCentral.org. I've opted to be removed from the administration pannel but still retain my mod powers and even most of the administration access. (most meaning I can no longer access the server to update the board or anything like that. I can modify the boards add new ones delete them ect.

and I 100% agree with gtmtnbiker

 

[Gore]

Modded a private server forum
Administrator on a private Travian alliance forum (off-site)

 

[MadClaw]

I AM a moderator of two forums and an administrator of one.

so since most of you are moderators and administrators...what is the benefit anyways?...aside from banning people and closing threads.

There are no real benefits, when you break it down its just a massive waste of time and effort in the long run.

 

[mysticwaterfall]

Way back in the day, I was a mod of the Geocities forums. Lots of jerks there.

If we want to include Talkers, I've been staff on several of those.

 

[hundshamer]

I was a moderator at Yafaze (R.I.P.) and other smaller forums.

that and we have another section to discuss forum matters but other than 1 extra forum/section, there isnt any benefit as well.
