Of course you [Coinfrog] would say that since for the last 3-4 years (being conservative), YOU are the most heavily moderated member on this forum by FAR. Everybody knows it too, not just the Staff.


And I thought that ''honour'' had been given to Princetane.

The number one criteria is demeanor and attitude, not seniority

I believe this is at least part of the reason (if I was ever even considered) that I haven't been approached for Mod duties. I would have quickly accepted the responsibility, but I had an extended rough patch highlighted by clashes with the higher-ups.

Princetane has been gone for years. Before that, it was the recently deceased trouble twins, before that it was Stevex6, before that it was FadeToBlack..... I could go on, there's always at least one.

But I most dislike the road this forum has taken in recent years, with several moderators and members quickly replying "up" to each new post, day after day, running up their "like" totals.


No one is running up anything, they are bumping topics that need attention. Sometimes with a welcome, a thumbs up, or even just "Nice!" It's encouraged and won't be going away. We even welcome members in locked topics with no pics to make sure they see what they need to do. Apparently, you have a bug up your butt about that too.

Here's the deal, this topic is now locked. When you start your own forum, you can run it as you see fit. Stop trying to run mine.
