Do TFP moderators get perks?

Or chicks?

Shani, I know Hal already responded to this, but it's something that we've recognized and are trying to correct. I THINK that we PM'ed all the applicants before the decisions were made the last two times to let them know one way or the other, but it doesn't always work that way. We do recognize that we need to do better with that and we're trying. I expect that all the applicants this time will definitely hear about it.

We get to create threads called "I hate LoganSnake" to make our complaints about you known. No one else, just you. It's part of the new "I Hate LoganSnake Mod Rules we adopted about 2 years ago." Seems to be working out pretty well, don't you think?

Really, no, we don't get anything other than headaches and complaints. And the occassional "boy, you really fucked up THAT situation." And the very, very rare "you guys do a good job. Thanks." type of PM.

Content people are quiet. If you don't hear from people, it's usually a good sign. I only rarely get "omg, awesome job at work today, Will" but when there is a complaint I get it from every direction. I see great decisions made and hard work done by the staff all the time. To be honest, I don't always drop a PM or chat to say I think so, but that doesn't mean you're not appreciated.

If this is an honest concern, maybe there are methods by which to improve communications between the staff and members.

LoganSnake

Ah, then it sounds like the a regular modding job. Well, with added responsibilities of creating new topics.

And on the topic of hating me, I'm surprised you took note of me two whole years ago. I didn't think I was too much of a pain in the ass until recently. I was wrong! You just made my day.

Yes. It's called ice cream.

Instant appreciation.

LoganSnake, let me assure you that I've hated you since the day before you signed up for TFP. Even though I didn't know you then, I had that premonition. Unfortunately, I'm not very good at showing it, so I've been stuck on stealing the occassional sock from your dryer and leaving wads of gum on the sidewalk for you to step on. And even more unfortunately, I'm now accused of being a pervert because I have a collection of damp, unmatched socks and a sore jaw. Perhaps if I wore pants more often....

In all seriousness, Will, we don't need the feedback or even any more compliments. I don't think any of is do the job for that - we do it for the love of this place. I didn't intend to be taken that seriously. My bad.

I don't do my job for thanks either, but it certainly doesn't hurt.

LoganSnake

A nice fat check is a good way of saying thank you, methinks.

To everyone considering applying, don't be shy. We are not selecting you for your post count! It's worth a try if you're really interested. What we need is active people with a touch of creativity, and a touch of zen, who want to give back to the board

__________________
Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

Fernando Pessoa, 1918

That was Zen, this is Tao.

I have a serious question: Is World's King a moderator here on TFP?

Serious answer: Yes, World's King is a moderator. You can find a complete list of the forum staff on the creatively named staff page.

Excuse me? Seriously, what the hell? How dare you!?

World's King is a Super Moderator. Show some respect!

Will, you rascal, you flatter me. We both know I am a horrible choice for Moderator. However, Minority Whip or Maverick would be kind of cool. Thanks for the kind words though

Does becoming a moderator help to become more moderate or civil? If I had the time, I think it would be interesting... for a while.

At first, I'd probably have to wrap my head with duct-tape to keep my head from exploding.

This made me laugh more than any thread currently in the Humor lineup.

Is it deeply revealing that I read that as you wanting a nice fat chick?

In my defense, where I learned English, it would have been spelled cheque.

Ok, so I lied. I'm going to close the application pool after tomorrow. If you've been thinking of applying but have not yet done so, now is your last chance.
