New Moderators?

I'm probably here more than anybody and I do mean anybody. How may I help you?
I'll try to answer them in order to the best of my ability.

1-Ok I won't.

2-When a mod becomes a mod it is posted to the public.

3-Other mods decide on new mods.

4-Yes a person should be proud to be asked to be a mod.

This place doesn't run free. There is freedom but we don't want to appear overbearing in regards to stifling good old fashioned fun.

Is there something in particular you'd like to point out?

As a mod on another forum, not about bikes, and with just over 130,000 members, what I will say is that the mods here do a very good job it seems. I say seems, because what they spend most of their time doing is usually unseen. Killing the spammers, putting out potential bushfires before they actually get bigger than a smouldering ember, and no doubt moving posts from the wrong section to the right one as well as deleting offensive posts before anybody even sees them. (This one is a guess for here based on my experience elsewhere).

All of this is done for absolutely nothing. Time they give for nothing, to enable you to read this over your morning cuppa, or evening beer. I usually have breakfast reading pm's from folks calling me a power crazed nazi eunoch who should be taken outside and shot. These are folks that I have pinged for some violation of the rules. Then of course we get the "freedom of speech" warriors. Any form of moderating is censorship to them.

So,the fact that you do not know who the mods are is a compliment to them. It means that the job is being done well and efficiently. Therefore you have the pleasure of reading all this rubbish that I just wrote, at your leisure.:wayhappy:

Coops.
