Because of how they contribute to the well beings of the forums...constantly helping other members, posting useful info, etc etc

Anonymous members...they'll probably respond in here and pwn me but IIRC they volunteer their time policing the forums...and there are more than one

Great contributions to the forum, respected and decent people, long time members.

They can see who votes on polls. A little while ago someone made a "Do you have multiple accounts?" poll in which a lot of people voted yes. The mod locked the thread and said something like "Are you really that stupid to think we can't see who voted for what? An investigation is underway."

Scare tactic? I have a hard time imagining where those results would be displayed.

Not many elites have a post count about 10k, so on average Lifers will be well above.

Though speaking of lifers, I've seen some guys pass 50k posts. Perhaps it's time to add something above Lifer?

One Mod nominates someone and the rest vote, from what i hear. not sure tho.

i don't see how they can.

and does the guy who made this site ever post here?
yes he does. Not to often anymore tho.

And in answer to the original question... I was generously given the title of Elite before I reached lifer post count.

Fusetalk has an option to let anyone see who voted and how, it's a link next to the poll option I believe. It's disabled for normal users here, but enabled for the mods(or so the theory goes).

PS RossMAN, die :p

Possibly, but the results could simply be displayed under each poll option like how it's done on vBulletin. Of course, it'd be hard to confirm how this one works.

Knee pads, or so I heard ;)

RossMAN is right. So far, he's worn out three set that I have given him.
Have I ever said thanks?

Most mods are Elite Members or have custom titles but not all Elite Members are mods. :p
