this is probably one of the biggest problems in the mod/regular relationship, and contributes most to the purported "divide". when mods constantly drop the "oh we do this for free, and you have no idea how much work we do blah blah blah", it's annoying and pointless. so you took a thankless job, get the fuck over it. if you aren't happy then quit.

Nor is it fair to suggest that despite what we do for the forum, we don't have the right to behave like a regular poster would and that we have to keep our feelings to ourselves.

I do think this is a stupid thread but either way I got your back on this.

Theres no divide because we do things for free, theres a divide perceived from the non-mod side that thinks we get away with murder.

That I haven't received an infraction for insulting another member is a testament to the fact that there is absolutely no special treatment being handed out.

There's only a so-called 'divide' when you say, or impose one thing, but so it yourself. That's all.

...

I don't know where this idea of Mods getting special treatment comes from.

No we can't be given infractions, but if I fuck up I have 10 other mods to answer to in the Mod forum to explain my actions to. and that's a much bigger deal than just getting an infraction.

Ask Boo Boo, he made a questionable comment on the forum a few days ago & was slaughtered in the mod forum for saying it.

We usually only infract members who give insults that are obviously unprovoked or way too heated or personal, or do nothing but make repeated insults.

We don't just infract everybody that says "You're a dumbass". If we did that who would be left? :laughing:

all i'm saying is that i'm tired of seeing mods cry about their responsibilities. i don't intend speak for anyone but myself, either.

Special treatment? I know from 1st hand experience that quite the opposite is the case.

I just thought a lttle humor might lighten up the mood :D
