that's fine you can go ahead and not believe that.

that's not going to pressure me into making up some story to satisfy your belief

why does everyone refer to being a mod as job? You don't get paid for it and it's not hard-work.

I've noticed alot of the "new" mods have changed since their modding and became all strict and shit. Especially since some used to have an awesome way with words and "idagf" attitude. Now that that's gone the mod team is slightly robotic. Which is why I prefered the old team because mods like Urban, RT, Big3, Dreadnaught, etc, Didn't give a fuck and would tell you straight to your face.

It's still tedious and takes up time that's why it's considered a job.

I guess it should be referred to as work and not a job to be technical.

When you go out and do volunteer work just because you don't get paid doesn't mean it's not work.

The work part of being a mod refers to all the spam clean up that they do to keep the forums looking somewhat decent.

Not a good example at all

Not that i really remember being a mod at all, but it didn't really involve a whole lot of doing anything. You just close a thread here and there and ban a dude occasionally.

I guess it was slightly tedious but really in terms of like mouse clicks and like amount of activity on the computer it's equal to like...checking your email or somehting

I think the drama levels on MB have risen exponentially since your tenure.

Sorry, next time I have to save the little old lady from drowning, I'll stop and remember I've got it so easy compared to those musicbanter mods.

time spent saving an old lady and time spent doing tedious work on musicbanter is still time spent.

Those rose colored shades that you are wearing of the glory days need to be taken off.

It was like the OK Corral back in the days and I guess some people like that but it was pure madness and either you took the abuse/insults or you gtfo.

You joined in 2006.

If you think that was bad then you should have been here in 2004/05 where the mods basically did fuck all.
If It wasn't for R-T , Big3 & Satchmo installing some kind of consistency when they were modded this place would be very very different.

omg, did you actually say that, ofcourse its still time spent. But I know I'd rather be sitting in the own comfort of my house sorting out spam than trying to save someones life. Be realistic for ****sake.

I've also only been here for like a year and a half so I can hardly have "rose tinted glasses" of the glory day. I'm still a noob. I've no ****ing idea what the glory days were like. I'm saying I prefered more open mouthed mods thans robotic ones. From reading this thread I'm not the only one with this preference.

Everybody misses the old mods but wants >>us<< to moderate in a completely different style and will throw a hissyfit if we don't. That's why I sincerely don't give a damn what regular users think about how the site should moderated anymore.
