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?
I hear 'ya and I can only imagine what you guys have to put up with. I've always had mad props for you guys.

When it comes down to it, I already know that folks in the forum think that I'm a crackpot, whoop-dee-doo! I've had my share of flame wars so it's no surprise. That's just another reason why I'd keep most of my musing to myself.

I can handle the jabs at how people assume the forum should be run. It's the whole projection of there reality unto others. No big deal.

I guess my only concern would be that there would be some who would throw my post count as a factor. These are the guys who love comparing things all the time. Again it's no big deal to me.

I guess I could give it a shot. I think I'd do a good job but I don't know all of the rules (yet). I guess if the guy from Law & Order can throw his hat into the ring, so can I. :up:

Francisco, this is the opportunity of a lifetime to get another 10,000 posts. Those "Moved to xx Forum" posts add up :D
Oh I'm sure... Hmmmm... That type of administration could easily add to my post count... I'm in!
 

Tell her a little about yourself, but not too much. Maintain some mystery. Give her something to think about and wonder about when she's at home.

You essentially upped your VALUE in her eyes by showing her that, if she wants you, she has to at times do things that you like to do. You are SOMETHING after all. You are NOT FREE. If she wants to hang with you, it's going to cost her something — time, effort, money.

People didn't like you because you changed the wording of their posts and deleted whatever post you didn't agree with!! You were a MOD NAZI!

I'm not getting into that old argument, PRL, er, I mean LMS, except to say that your version of events is fiction, and only hors make up stories like that to suit their own purposes.
 

Men frequently err by talking too much. They often monopolize conversations, droning on and on about topics that bore women to tears. They think they're impressing the women when, in reality, they're depressing the women.

I am the only person here who is qualified to offer clothing advice, and because that's all I ever do I would not be a good moderator.

However, you can bury me a Mod. *we are we are we are the Mods*

Why don't you take all the applicants and have a vote?
 

Never try to read a woman's mind. It is a scary place. Ignore her confusing signals and mixed messages. Assume she is interested in you and act accordingly.
