strange forces at work

Hmmm. I see your points. However the banners don't need mods because they're static. OT is a living entity however. Has to be on watch 24/7. All that and the close-to-lawsuit situations with understaffed mods, who are selected by tech-ability/social intelligence. A rare find...not in my current arsenal of capabilities.

Now that is honesty!

Honestly, I hate to say it, but I think we could have even worse mods in the future. We've been blessed thus far with many great mods (sapasion, Moridin, FaTs, MoM etc.), but we might come to a point where the qualitity here is depleted, the mods will simply be those who want the position for name sake and then it will be time for us to move on.

Fortunatly, I don't think that time is upon us. We can still forge forward and work towards improving the transparency of this sight without loosing basic regulation.

Straight up hobbes. I wouldn't even try to earn any respect as a mod without several K under my belt. Sure I could do it well, but not now. Not going to happen, not overnight.

Also, I think the best way to deal with Arcadian's post, if it needed any action was at worst move it to Article/Site Feedback. Deleting the thread was beyond any logic.

I am not trying to become a mod to "earn any respect", I am not even Trying to become a mod. I am just saying that if people here feel that part of the problem is the lack of mods, then a logical conclusion would be to make more mods. As posted in another topic here, it might be a good idea to make something like an mini-mod, that can just help sweep up here and there.

I have a lot of work to do as a student, and by am not able to sit down and spend 8 hrs a day reading posts. Over the summer, that was a different story, I just left a browser window open while my tests ran.

I agree with whoever said that we do not need lots of people running around as mod, just to be a mod. One other thing that I try to remember is that post count doesn't mean everything! Remember OT? Well I don't, I was coming through the in door as it was going out. My post count might reflect a max of 10 OT (official OT) posts. We do, however, have lots of people running around here with posts that were just racked up talking about which movie they were going to see, and how cool some new car was, etc. While some people here have a post count that reflects their contribution, many do not.

I had always thought that maybe Arcadian was IM'ed after the post was deleted or something along those lines, instead of having it transferred to A/SF. Doesn't matter now though, I guess all has been said and done.

Same here. Some of the OT'ers were/are top-notch techies anyways though. I've had to be serious almost 700 times(almost to reach the tender count of 800. But again, I guess all has been said and done. For me anyways.
