Who moderates the mods?

[adams]

Shouldn't there be some sort of system of checks and balances set up. The mods have a lot of power and, of course as we all know, power sure can corrupt. Its scary to think that the mods can take whatever action they wish without fear of retribution. :Q

lol

 

[Paulson]

The Admin.

Duh.

 

[Azraele]

Mods are chosen for their non-corruption stamina.

I'd imagine that the Anandtech Administrator has a bit more power than the mods, but that's just a guess. I don't know the mod hierarchy.

 

[tristramshandy]

Who milks the Milkmen?

 

[Paulson]

Zuni's got the utmost power though.

I guess if he was mad enough, he could take this whole site down.

But we all know zuni. He's a much nicer guy then that

 

[AnandTech Moderator]

Yes, the Administrator keeps an ever watchful eye on us, and she has eyes in both the front, and the back of her head.

The MOD hierarchy as seen by Pyro:


______________The Boss (Anand)
_______________//__________\\
______Reviewers/Staff_____Anandtech Administrator
__________________________________________\\
____________________________________Anandtech Mods
____________________________________________\\
___________________________________________Members

who watches the admin?

 

[Diffusion]

I dunno, I would hardly consider moderating an online bulletin board "power" unless your diffinition is rather far from my own.

So then this mighty Administrator might need a little bit of checking and balancing then. That power can be a nasty thing

 

[Alienwho]

adams, if you really wanna get banned, just post a useless thread with lots of profanities. Neffing doesn't seem to do it for you.

its a she? :Q

 

[Paulson]

She aigh?

Hmmmm, now that I think of it, the admin could very well be Anand's Girlfriend

I just don't have the heart to be mean-spirited, or use alot of profanities.

 

[Russ]

Adams,

You crack me up. You really do.

This Admin person sounds a lot like my Mom. She also had eyes in the back of her head.

Sounds like she's got to be ever vigilant what with so many eyes.

She does a good job.

 

[pulpp]

nice triplets

 

[Azraele]

Russ: What mom doesn't have eyes in the back of her head. I know mine did.

 

[pulpp]

do the mods have a hidden forum where they post and nef between each other?

 

[Paulson]

yes, they have a moderator forum.

We can't see it obviously, but they have one.

 

[WombatWoman]

Paulson, what earthly way do you have of knowing that? The day the Mods invite you to their secret clubhouse will be the day that the Devil opens a Sno-Kone concession.

 

[TheAvenger]

I doubt they nef, looking for higher than mod status?

 

[Paulson]

Wombat, PM me, I want to talk to ya...

 

[Azraele]

If there is a mod forum, they probably use it to discuss issues, etc.

It's the fabled &quot;Land of Mod&quot; (where no mod is allowed to nod).

 

[WombatWoman]

<< Wombat, PM me, I want to talk to ya... >>


I don't do PMs any more, Paulson. Sorry. Too many nastygrams from people who felt compelled to tell me what they thought of me, in excessive detail.
