The only thing that keeps me on this site is to try to head it into the right direction, and to run every 10-20 rounds to win my biyearly trophy. Other than that, I wouldn't do 10 reports a day every day unless it's as a favor to someone because they need the extra manpower while they find someone else. But that's never going to be the case any time soon again, because if anything, getting the reports done is something the mod team is quite good at now. You don't see 200 reports open anymore. No modding for me
I don't think outing alts is ever ok and I agree mods should try to stay professional, but I also feel that more and more effort has been put into 'professionalism' by the mods lately.
Maybe xxerox is onto something. We should divide into "Socialists", "Liberals" "Conservatives" and "Reactionaries" and have democratically elected admins & mods standing from each party. Genius idea.
I'm actually still a mod because I enjoy the handful of users who openly thank me and also from knowing that I'm helping the community whether they know it or not
Sure, and that's great. But like Slow, I think most moderators have a breaking point where either it's too frustrating or too dull to mod, unless something interesting happens
