I've never been on a forum with more of a management-level hard-on for their mods; I guess it's in lieu of any actual compensation.
Also uncharacteristic for most forums, the amount of participating mods who act like name-calling trolls. They don't realize, by not living by example, it literally invokes word riots. A few of them are extremely close-minded and not nearly as bright as they believe.
I'd actually name the many truly cool and intelligent mods, but am too lazy to read the rules (or perhaps not bored enough) as to whether it's an infraction....
And yes, I've never bothered to read the rules, not even once.
