For whoever DOES get the mod positions, I'd like to offer the following guide:
(1) You suck. No matter what you do. Get used to it.
(2) Did you know that this forum gets flooded by neo-Nazi groups, KKK, ultra-feminist groups, people who want to offer everybody free iPods and Playstations, and bored 12-year-olds who think posting threads titled "I HAVE SEX WITH YUR MOMS BUTT" is the pinnacle of humor? You didn't know that? Thank a mod.
(3) It makes people angry if you are not making sure that every thread is in its proper forum. They will say, "WTF, mods? Why is this in the Tips Forum? It belongs in Anything Else! Worst mods EVAR!" Then they will cry and proceed to cut themselves.
(4) It makes people angry if you move threads to another forum. They will say, "WTF, mods? Why did you move my thread from Tips to Anything Else? Worst mods EVAR!" Then they will cry and proceed to cut themselves.
(5) Did I already say that you suck no matter what you do?
(6) Drinks in the Moderator's Corner are 1/2 off between 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM on weeknights.
(7) Everything you say will be looked at with new scrutiny. Because you agreed to move threads to the correct forum and close or delete inappropriate threads, you are now considered a role model for some of the most f*cked up adolescent-aged and adolescent-minded posters to be found on any forum on the Internet (except the forums where they talk about having sex with cartoon animals). Now you can't say anything remotely controversial without someone saying, "You're setting a horrible example!"
(8) This site, by its very nature, is composed of many people who have -- how do I put this gently? -- social/personality issues. In their real lives, they often do not feel like "alpha males", so they decide to become an "alpha male" on an internet dating forum. So they take on the nearest "authority figure", which ends up being a mod. Now, yeah, they're just like mosquitoes... annoying, but easy to squash. Still, who likes being surrounded by mosquitoes all the time?
(9) Have I mentioned that you suck no matter what you do?
