Who are the Moderators?

[SaxOphoneKid]

And How do they get Moderate?

 

[WombatWoman]

Mod·er·a·tor, noun [Derived from Mod, 1960s British slang meaning "groovy" + er, a throat-clearing noise used as a pause in conversation + a tor, a pile of rocks at the top of a hill.] From this etymological analysis, I would expect the typical Moderator to be a great deal like Austin Powers, but somewhat more hesitant, and with more rocks.

 

[SaxOphoneKid]

Hey Den Mother-Thats good. I was looking for a little more specific though. Are mods, just users in disguise that have more rights to lock threads and administor the forum?

 

[snow patrol]

Before anyone tells you any different, and trust me, they'll be queuing up to do so - Pauslon is not a moderator. Glad we've got that cleared up

 

[Russ]

Paulson is so a moderator!

Russ, NCNE

They could be these guys, or those guys, or anyone else. They have posted that they are members who volunteer. For all the crap they deal with, I think they should get paid.

For all I know, you could be a mod. OTOH, with your handle, you could also be Bill Clinton on his day off.

 

[Russ]

Clinton doesn't play his sax anymore. Gore got drunk at a Whitehouse party and took a piss in it, thinking it was a gold plated urinal.

Russ, NCNE

Russ, why aren't you allowed to say you are a Moderator ??
I would be proud if I was one

 

[Killbat]

Russ is higher up than Moderators. His influence stretches into areas of the Anandtech Forums only rumored to exist. Russ is even secretly building an army of space monkeys unbeknownst to Zuni himself!

 

[WombatWoman]

Russ is even secretly building an army of space monkeys...

Killbat, I think you have confused Russ with the Wicked Witch of the West.

This is quite understandable. I can picture him waving his arms in front of a crystal ball, shrieking
&quot;I'll get you, [fill in name], and your little dog, too.&quot;

I wouldn't mess with Russ's broom for a shipload of ruby slippers.

 

[Killbat]

Actually, I've just been watching Fight Club a lot. But no matter, we all already knew that Russ flies around on a broom all day smiting those who would dare attack his title of &quot;Head Geek&quot;.

 

[Harvey]

Duckers -- <<Russ, why aren't you allowed to say you are a Moderator ??>>

I don't know about Russ, but I've heard that the moderators are allowed to tell you who they are. Of course, then they have to kill you, and, as usual, the secretary will disavow any knowledge of their mission. :Q

 

[kabelogo]

speaking of fight club, could paulson be what russ only wishes he were.

Are paulson and russ the same entity? No one has denied it. What a frightening twist to fight club.

 

[SaxOphoneKid]

Wow, I guess I should check in more often. Thanks for the Info.
Russ: No---I am not the Presidents Husband. I do play the Sax tho

 

[IsOs]

Thanks for the FREE Entertainment.

 

[ssjgokou1]

don't mods get paid?

 

[ssjgokou1]

paulsons no mod, he's just a regular guy who joined after me, and does nothing but talk about how &quot;satified&quot; he is with his v3 2k. How do you become a mod, and no joking please.

 

[hubbs]

Hey wanna leave me outta this. What have I done lately. I've been a good kid lately

Haven't really got into too many quarrels.

 

[ltk007]

I wonder if the mods will one day reveal themselves. I bet its some obscure member no one would ever think of, someone who deserves elite status, but never gets it (just because paulson will NEVER be elite, doesn't mean he will ever deserve it). Hmmm who could that be...

 

[TomC25]

It is like the Simpsons and not knowing what state they are in. ( well at least we used to not know)
