My thread on cell phone use goes in gadgets/gear/phones, but the ipod thread stays in OT?

I can't figure this place out..

Thanks for the heads up. BTW I moved your PS3 thread from OT to Console Gaming.

It wasn't our idea to suddenly have 47 forums plus we don't moderate every thread, just what we notice. Cut us some slack, we're really all in this together.

You of all people should have some sympathy for us moderator "authority figures" -- no unis, no pension, no pay . . . everyone hates on us anyway and we command all the respect of a mall cop.

Christ, JLee, they don't even give us a gun.

Your ipod link is broken.

edit: and, when you pull over a speeder, do you also roll your eyes when they complain that you didn't pull over all the other speeders?

Make more mods? I'd love to be able to simply move threads from OT to where they belong and I'm sure many others would as well. :thumbsup: If you need help, hire more hands.

The more Mods the more moderating which would result in more whining about the Moderators here in PFI.

I actually think it would be a good idea to give junior mods that frequent other forums, and that actually want it, the ability to move topics between forums. Maybe once we switch over to vB, something like that could be put in place.

Actually I've heard that arguing that you were only going with the flow of traffic is a legal "out" to beat a speeding ticket in court. You need to be consciously aware that you are breaking the law; you could argue that you were trying to avoid a road hazard or a bad driver and weren't focusing on the speedometer. :beer:

Not in NH. Mens rea is not required to obtain a conviction for a violation-level offense.

Fair enough, but if you're not consciously aware of something you could also plead not guilty by reason of insanity. :light:

Its the same as everything in life....

there are double standards
some get punished while other don't even get noticed
the enforcers break the rules

A long time ago, I learned that life is rarely fair. Life on an internet forum, is never fair.

Just what this thread needed: a "Mods suck" comment.

[SickBeast]

For once I agree with Oldsmoboat to a large extent. Really and truly, I don't see the moderators that were breaking the rules moderating very much any more.

Anand has paid for and maintained this site for years. I feel that some respect is due in light of how much people here learn. It's easy to focus on the negative if that's what you want to do. Look at it as a blessing and it won't bother you. :beer:

 

[olds]

This just in, snowing in hades.

 

[Evadman]

I probably move more than a hundred threads a week to the correct forum. It's a boring administrative job honestly.

I wasn't trying to imply that at all.

Its just a fact of life that life is not fair. I don't think the Mods suck in the least....





....now that you aren't one anymore

Batteries low in Olds's sarcasm meter?

 

[shortylickens]

I actually like the idea of several junior mods who can move threads and issue warnings, nothing else.
Then 1 mid-level mod for each forum with lock and delete priviledges.
Then 1 senior mod for each section of the forums with ban & vacation power.
Then the master/mistress mod over all. Who can move mountains and vaporize oceans and put sharks with laser beams and perhaps even make decent fried eggs.

Just a thought.

 

[SickBeast]

The master mod would have to be Anand. He owns this place. If you don't run things that you own yourself, you're setting yourself up for failure to one extent or another. Either that or have the master mod elected. :light:

Another thing we would need would be an AnandTech constitution. Forget rules; give the members here some rights!

They have rights.

They have the right to post here as long as they use common sense, do not act like idiots, respect the other posters who may not have the same viewpoint, do not try to take advantage of others, as use civil attitudes.

That covers 99,5% of the posters at AT.
The other 0.5% seem to think that they are special and rules should not apply to them.

Guess what, the Mods do not need those 0.5%, the site does not; and do not have to tolerate their antics.
